Brent Stanton, Head of Daytime, NATAS added, “Producing the Daytime Emmys is a labor of love for all of us at NATAS. The huge popularity of these shows continues to be must-see viewing for their fans.” NATAS also revealed that Lifetime Achievement Honorees, Hosts, Presenters, and Silver and Gold Circle honorees will be revealed at a later date.
The Daytime Emmy Awards recognize outstanding achievement in television programming honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be produced once again by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI). Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie executive produces from ATI.
Congratulations to all the men and women in front of the camera and behind the scenes for their recognition as we take a look at who will be going for gold come June. Here are the nominees below starting with the Daytime Drama Categories.

I only watch for Liz. This stupid Ireland crap is laughable. Can’t wait for Becky!!
Really? I think this is the best story in months. What would you prefer? That he sit and wait around pining for Elizabeth? Hahahahaha
What do you care what I prefer?
You do you, and I’ll do me, sound good?
I think the accents are painful, and the dialogue is worse, don’t agree, oh well.
Actually, I don’t really care what you think. I was just expressing my shock over it. If you confused that with caring, I guess that’s your problem. Get it?
I’m excited that Becky is coming back. I wonder how she will play into this new story for Lucky. I really like it so far. GH has been pretty unbearable to watch, but Lucky’s story really has me glued. Hopefully Elizabeth comes back with her head on straight.
Finally. It feels like she’s been gone forever. I love the name Emerson! I want this paternity revealed already so hopefully she’ll come back refreshed and ready to fight for Lucky. It would be cool if she went to Ireland to check up on him! His Irish accent is so hot. Love Elizabeth, love the Irish story, and can’t wait to see JJ and BH on screen together again.
So glad that the beautiful and talented Rebecca Herbst will be gracing our screens soon. I hope TPTB will stop punishing the viewers and let Steve & Becky share some scenes together. They have an amazing connecting and the chemistry between the two of them is awesome. Jason & Elizabeth is what GH is missing.
Welcome Back Becky, we hope Mr. Guza has a good s/l waiting for you. One that shows your strengths as a good mother, a hardworker and one that can do without the brothers grimm.. We want a independent strong woman to emerge in Ms. Elizabeth Immogene Webber…
Word, LuvJas&Liz!!!! Jason and Elizabeth have a love for each other that no one else has. We want LIason love in the afternoon!!!!!
SO HAPPY THAT SHES BACK! HOPEFULLY ALL THE FANS OF ELIZABETH AND LUCKY WILL SEE WHAT WE WANT AND THAT IS REUNITING THEM TOGETHER AND FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN. TEAM ELIZABETH AND LUCKY FOREVER! LNL2
finally she will back. general hospital needs her back. can’t wait for her to show in the tv screen again. and yes i agree i want elizabeth and lucky back together. please gh! i hope that lucky and elizabeth will come back to each other’s arms!
ELIZABETH AND LUCKY FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO SEE MORE ELIZABETH AND LUCKY SCENES TOGETHER. I DO NOT LIKE LUCKY’S SCENES RIGHT NOW WITH THE IRISH GIRL. LUCKY IS FOR ELIZABETH!
WE WANT LUCKY AND ELIZABETH TOGETHTER AGAIN!!!!! LUCKY GO BACK TO ELIZABETH. SO GLAD THAT REBECCA IS BACK! MISS HER
i love rebecca!!!! I can’t wait to see elizabeth and lucky together again, I know it will be a while before it’s romantic, but I can hope and it’s worth the wait!
welcome back rebecca! i cant wait for her to do scenes with lucky. been a big fan of elizabeth and lucky. There relationship was so pure and genuine. The chemistry between these two was perfect, the storyline was beautiful, and you just wanted to see these two stay together forever. This was probably the “last” great couple on GH. keeping my hopes alive that they will fall in love again!!!!!
welcome back rebecca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
elizabeth and lucky They are so the BEST. Please reunite these two! They are magic, they are romance personified. I could watch this over and over. If they remarry, they have to mention the permanent lock!!! So swoon worthy!!!!
Can not wait to see rebecca back on tv. I wish and hope that she and jonathan will have many scenes together. I love elizabeth and lucky together!!!
I have never seen a relationship on GH that wrapped me up so much into the characters and the storyline than the ORIGINAL Lucky & Elizabeth. Rape, Tragedy, Beauty, Romance, and Love is what brought these two together.
I LOVE REBECCA HERBST A GREAT ACTRESS! GLAD SHE IS BACK!
“Lucky & Elizabeth” back in the late 90’s were the definition of TRUE LOVE!
They will always and forever be remembered at that time as the most genuine, passionate, and romantic couple on GH of the 20th century!
PLEASE GH BRING BACK LIZ AND LUCKY TOGETHER AGAIN! WE MISS THEM!
Elizabeth and Lucky!! Hopefully they’ll bring back those old feelings and emotions that made them one of the greatest couples in GH HIStory!!!
I want nothing more than do see JonoBecky do LL2, their chemistry is still amazing and so alluring. They exude romance with just the slighest expression, and their gazes….AMAZING. lol
Jonathan and Rebecca both had such great chemistry back in the day! They were definitely one of GH’s greatest teen couples during the ’90s! I want to see elizabeth anc lucky together again!
yes i cant believe she will be back again! my favorite actress in gh! i’m still hoping and praying that liz and lucky will be together again! keeping my hopes high! liz and lucky belong together!
I LOVE REBECCA HERBST THE BEST ACTRESS IN GENERAL HOSPITAL!
HOPE TO SEE JONATHAN JACKSON AND REBECCA HERBST WORK TOGETHER AGAIN! ELIZABETH AND LUCKY ARE DESTINY! THEY BELONG TOGETHER. NO ONE ELSE!
PLEASE GENERAL HOSPITAL BRING BACK ELIZABETH AND LUCKY TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes glad shes back working again! miss her not being on gh! i want to see liz and lucky together again! been a fan of liz and lucky forever. still rooting for them!
To me their relationship felt so real and pure in these scenes. They shared one of the most romantic love stories on GH at that time. You just wanted them to live happily ever after! and i hope they do.
elizabeth is my favorite on gh no matter what she does i love her bring on elizabeth’s next amazing storyline
LOVE Becky, she is my favorite on the show. I just wish we’d see Elizabeth more on the screen. She has so many amazing pairings, LL2 and Liason to name a few that are just off the charts. She has chemistry with everyone, and her character has so much history that the writers have failed to delve into. I’m hoping they finally give her something unique for her b/c Becky can rock anything. Can’t believe we are still sitting on another paternity reveal for her character. Having loved LL2 with Jon and Becky back in the day…I just can’t grasp this current storyline..its so sad they trashed so much history. Seeing Jason give up Jake was hard enough…why do they torture us! lol
I hope for a Liason reunion one day, but I loved LL2 first..they have SO MUCH HISTORY. With Jonathan back the original permanent lock is complete and its time for the next chapter in their lovestory. Laura needs to come back, as do stories for these families. Tom has never returned to PC, what an amazing story for Becky that would be! Helena has yet to reveal Aiden’s true paternity. She needs to start painting again, maybe go back to medical school and become a doctor…anything..she’s a HARDY/Webber for crying out loud!
