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!

48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards: Photo Gallery and Acceptance Speeches

June 26, 2021

Last night on the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, viewers watched a hybrid-broadcast for the annual kudofest as the world is coming out of the coronavirus pandemic.

While the acceptance speeches, and presenters were pre-taped along with the previously seen red carpet footage, no one knew who the winners were till last night, because all of the nominees taped a speech. The virtual ceremony combined remote presentations and remembrances, with host, Sheryl Underwood presiding over the ceremony on a soundstage and introducing presenters to the stage, as well.

Adam Sharp, President & CEO, NATAS said of the event on Friday night: “We honor the Daytime community for helping us find our way through the turbulence of the pandemic, increased racial unrest and the chaos of the presidential election as America faced one of its most trying years in our history. This evening celebrated not only the best programming and performances of this year but reflected on some of Daytime’s biggest icons that have left an indelible mark on our medium.”

Streaming service Netflix was actually the evening’s big overall winner with seven Emmys. NATAS had called this production and event a “transition” event after shooting much of it on a set, as they look to bring back the live event feel for next year, since the broadcast had already received a two-year commitment from CBS.

While the late Alex Trebek and Larry King were remembered and also won awards posthumously, Regis Philbin was also honored by his longtime co-host, Kathy Lee Gifford. Then, The Bold and the Beautiful’s Diamond White (Paris) performed a song during the In-Memoriam segment.

You can check out some of the acceptance speeches from Daytime Drama winners: Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy, B&B) Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH), Max Gail (Ex-Mike, GH), Marla Adams (Ex-Dina, Y&R), and Frank Valentini (EP, GH) below our photo gallery of some of the backstage moments that were captured during portions of the pre-taped ceremony.

DAYS Ben & Ciara Wed: What Did You Think of the Nuptials & Its Explosive Aftermath? (PHOTOS)

July 23, 2020

On Wednesday and Thursday, Days of our Lives delivered the Cin wedding as Ben Weston (Rob Scott Wilson) and Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) finally tied-the-knots, and of course, like a juicy, soapy nuptial in Salem, it came with: bumps in the road, a gorgeous ceremony featuring heartfelt vows and … an explosion that rocked the church and detoured the young couple’s happiness.

DAYS rolled out the red carpet for this one complete with many extras, a huge church gathering, quite the wedding dress for Victoria Konefal to wear, and emotional performances by the on-screen bride and groom.

Shortly after Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) pronounced the two, husband and wife, and as Ben is waiting for his bride to begin their lives as newlyweds together, … as she approaches him in the vestibule of the church, a bomb goes off, and Ben is caught in the explosion.

Watch some of the images from the ‘Photo Album’ of Ben and Ciara’s wedding below.
