Daytime 42nd Creative Arts Emmy Awards

The 42nd Annual Daytime Emmys are in the record books, and there were certainly some memorable moments when the envelopes were ripped open and the winners revealed! In the Outstanding Daytime Drama Series category, there was a rarity … a tie! Days of our Lives and The Young and the Restless each took home the gold when their names were called by the soap icons of General Hospital, Anthony Geary (Luke) and Genie Francis (Laura), who were reunited on-stage to present the final award of the night. However, it was CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful … with wins for Outstanding Writing Team in a Drama Series, and Outstanding Directing Team in a Drama Series, combined with their eight wins at the Daytime Creative Arts Emmys two nights prior … that took home the most gold of any soap opera in the 42nd annual kudofest campaign! And speaking of the Daytime Creative Arts Emmys, there was a tie during those ceremonies, too … only this time it was a three-way tie! GH’s Donna Mills, B&B’s Fred Willard, and Y&R’s Ray Wise shared the award when their names were called in the first ever presentation of the Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series category.

Overall, the acting categories were we led by ABC’s General Hospital with four major victories, including the aforementioned Mills. Anthony Geary broke his own record taking home his eighth Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his incredible performance in the ‘Luke/Fluke’ storyline throughout 2014. Maura West, a previous two-time Lead Actress Daytime Emmy winner for her work on ATWT, took home her first Lead Actress prize for her role as tough mob gal, Ava Jerome. Chad Duell, who plays Michael Corinthos, entered the field for the first time in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, and won it!

Days of our Lives’ Freddie Smith, after losing in the Younger Actor in a Drama Series previously, finally got his due and won gold for his performance as Sonny Kiriakis. It was bittersweet for Smith, who made the decision to leave the long-running NBC soap opera a month ago, and has since completed his time in Salem. Smith’s speech was a highlight of the night when he thanked the LGBT community for their support of his performance of the first openly gay character on DAYS in the series’ 50-year history. Amelia Heinle made it a two-peat winning the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as the grieving Victoria Newman on The Young and the Restless. Heinle’s reels from her Emmy-winning performances have been centered on the death of little Delia, and the ramifications of her sudden death, and remembering her a year later on the anniversary of that horrific night. Amelia’s castmate also made it two in a row, when Hunter King picked up her second straight Daytime Emmy for her role as Summer Newman.

On-Air On-Soaps was backstage at the One-On-One Winners Walk, where we were able to interview and spend some time with the night’s big winners! From their initial reactions to their victory, to sharing some very emotional and heartfelt moments with us, it was exciting times for these newly crowned Emmy champs in 2015!

This week, The Bold and the Beautiful is celebrating their 39th anniversary on the air, having debuted back on March 23, 1987. Here we are heading into what will be next year the series fourth decade, and the lives and loves of the fashionable Forrester, Spencer and Logan families are still at the core of the storytelling of this half-hour soap.

On Monday, several of the cast and behind the scenes creatives marked the occasion with an on set cake-cutting and some words from series executive producer, Brad Bell which included, “My dad (the late William J. Bell) always called it the ultimate collaboration and its true, so cheers to us!” Also on Monday as Bell shared, Bold and the Beautiful announced the launch of their new streaming app and digital platform BBTV (BoldandBeautiful.com)

B&B fans around the world have seen a few photos circulating of late that none other than Daytime Emmy-winner, Lisa Yamada (ex-Luna Nowaza) was present at the celebration as was her good friend in real-life and storyline friend, Christian Weissman (Remy).

The two sightings raised the question, if Luna is back taping all-new episodes of the soap and did not die, or could she be appearing as a dream/nightmare where she is haunting Dylan (Sydney Bullock), since it was the former school teacher-turned-Forrester creations employee, who ran her down? O,r was she just paying the show a visit on its anniversary? Viewers were previously told by Brad Bell that Luna is dead. But this is the soaps, and no one is ever really dead, are they?

Taking part in the festivities also were cast members: John McCook (Eric), Thorsten Kaye (Ridge), Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Don Diamont (Bill), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), Jennifer Gareis (Donna), Rebecca Budig (Taylor), Harrison Cone (Deke) Laneya Grace (Electra) and Brayan Nicoletti (R.J.) as well as series director, Cindy Popp.

Now below. take a look at a few of the snaps from B&B’s 39th anniversary on set gathering.
