Television icon, Dick Van Dyke has received his first-ever Daytime Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Guest Performer category for his touching portrayal of Timothy Robicheaux on Peacock’s Days of our Lives. The nomination makes Van Dyke the oldest Daytime Emmy nominee in history at 98-years-old. In addition, motion picture and TV star, Guy Pearce, is also nominated as Guest Performer for his longtime role as Mike Young in the reboot of Neighbours.
Speaking of Neighbours, the Australian soap opera also received its first ever Daytime Emmy nomination for Daytime Drama Series now that its a revival can be streamed on Amazon Freevee.

In the Daytime Drama series categories, CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless each scored 12 nominations more than any other show. Leading the acting nominations was B&B, who landed 7 performers in the various categories, a first in its 37-year history.

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.

NewsApril 12, 2024Y&R’s Hayley Erin Previews Her Role in Horror-Thriller ‘New Life’
More than likely nobody we care about. How about an acting instructor for Eric. If he can’t scream the same line over and over again he’s lost.
A while back they showed an old clip and he used to be able to act a little. I don’t get why he is hyped so much.
Eric can’t act? My goodness…….some one has very limited knowledge. He is an amazing actor and and plays Victor to perfection.
Agreed, Moira. I despise Victor and what he represents. But Eric is indisputably a top-notch actor. For anyone to naysay that is hard to conceive. But, that’s how Becky sees Eric. We can’t tell her what to think….it’s her opinion. Sometimes our antipathy for a character blinds us to an actor’s talent.
Donald Trump
Donald Trump or Richard Simmons
Yes Erin, Richard Simmons can dance away with Nikki. Lol.
HA! Mo, that would be hilariously perfect. Maybe Trump is going to help Victor get back his company!
Or send the Latinos out of Genoa City and make it a “white man’s land” which is the core of his campaign.
Awwww, Harry….The Donald is not so bad. He’s a really nice guy…..he just speaks BIG. LOL.
Its obvious u have never had to work for him.
A new Head Writer???
We can only hope….!!!
Tom Selleck, ex Jeb Andrews
Last time she Tweeted about being all excited about working with a surprise guest star we got Meredith Baxter.
Corbin Bernsen?
@ Eileen.
And there you go, again, Eileen. How the heck do you know whether I worked for Mr. Trump or what our family relationship is? You sound just like Helen, the one who snubbed your comment, and I, feeling the sting, defended you.
You did this to me a few times before. I still have my memory intact. You sound so superior and above everyone else’s opinion. Have you regained steam? Have you worked for Mr. Trump? What most see is how he is portrayed on TV. Admittedly, he puts his foot in his mouth, but I KNOW he has a heart of gold, as do his children. Ivanka will give you the shirt off her back…involved in so many charities, as I am. Before you speak out of turn, it would behoove you to do some research.
Please do not belittle me again because, as young as I am, I will put you in the place you deserve, with all due respect.
Maybe Paul & Patty’s brother Father Todd, aka Corbin Bernsen?
Kris Kardashian please let it be her.
I hope you are right, I love Kris Kardashian. She is a smart, sassy, classy lady.
Smart and classy?? Which Kris Kardashian are you looking at? LMAO. Smart classy ladies do not whore their children out for profit.
Compared to whom, Jessica? The only reason any reputable person spends time with these people is because they are a money-making-machine…..the fad will pass. Kris Jenner is no lady…look at what she allowed her kids to do? Anyone who generates money from selling one’s body or family problems is no lady, but a gold digging, treasure-hunting, ‘castle’ climber.
If I had more fingers and toes, I would enumerate the number of men with whom she has cheated.
That would mark the end of Y&R…The KarTRASHions are overrated and overexposed trailer trash with no real talent whose stage mom Kris uses her train wreck of a family and trashy behaviour to attract gulliable viewers into helping them stretch their 15 minutes of fame because its the only way for them to get the attention they so desperately crave , and make millions of dollars off those foolish people who follow them as if they are royality which they are not…nothing against you Jennifer but i feel that family shows and proves what is all wrong with our society today…trash has replaced class…jmho
Right On…..Jimh!
Amen
Bleh! Good Lord, NO! I cannot get away from this white trash family and would rather not see any of them on my soap. The Kardashians are a symbol of American stupidity–please make them go away forever.
Hi, Harry.
My in-laws subscribe to various French and Italian magazines . We all also have RAI, which is a news/entertainment Italian ( from Italy) network. America is under the impression that the Kardashians are so well-received in Europe. The other side of that is not shown on TV here. What I read and hear through the foreign media about this said family, would make your hair stand on end and your jaw drop.
The show has enough problems, without adding a Kardashion. We dont need that trash on YR.
Eileen you sound bitter, Everybody watches The Kardashians. you dont thats ok. You need to take your meds and leave Jennifer alone. We all have opinions and its a free country. I enjoy watching The Kardashians good family and good entertainment. I love my soaps too.
If u choose to watch the Kardashions, thats ur choice. But to put this no talent, publicity whoring family on the the top rated soap would be a disaster in the making. None of them can act, they are worthless unless u just want tabloid fodder.
@Helen.
Sorry, Helen. Do not be offensive. You are the one who needs meds. You attacked. If Jennifer is entitled to her comment/opinion so is Eileen and everyone else. She is not the only one who considers the Kardashians as ‘a piece(s) of work’.
Not everyone watches the Kardashians. So, do not speak for the general public. Perhaps people such as you watch. More power to you.
I sooooooo agree!
Why?
I think this “Helen” is a regular poster using a second name so we dont know who he or she really is…i dont see “Helen” commenting anywhere else here!
Wendy Williams, how u doin.
lol. Good one 🙂
Please let it be Dita von Tease and let Nikki climb a pole once more. Think of the ratings!
My guess is Drewcilla she was married to Neil her name was Drewand she has been gone for a long time.sorry if I spelled the name wrong
Drew died.
Well, that would be nice, Doris. However, it’s also very doubtful as I do not think Melody would be all excited about Victoria Rowell making a cameo.
I do believe Victoria accused Melody of making racist statements.
Nope, no Drew unless they recast the former actress with someone new.
I still say; Sean Young
go out with a bang
LIVE Nikki !
Victor and Nick are so dead on arrival
HA! I forgot about Sean Young.
I sure hope it isnt her. Some liked her but I really didnt.
I lurve Sean Young. Crazy never goes out of fashion…
there is a very funny article : ie: the 30th anniversary of Blade Runner… of which she STAR’
This woman… it would seem never caught a break… her mouth, mind, and body… were just… never in sync
???
she’s a riveting PERSONality
she always gets my attention
when I say funny… she embodies her own energy… just captivates.. her mindset to her own beat
I Love her too
ie: OK – I don’t know how to cut and paste links:
type in Sean Young Blade Runner 30th… their is a great article from the gaurdian.com : “Blade Runner’s Sean Young: ‘If I were a man I’d have been treated better’ “
I’m hoping for her sister, Dr. Casey Reed, but I liked the idea of a new head writer as well. Wishful thinking.
That would be delicious. Think she’ll bring Snapper, Jill’s erstwhile brother, with her?
Oh, oh…Joe. I like that one. Good call. Casey returns to save little Christian’s life; Sage’s and Nick’s baby.
Tyra Banks or. RuPaul the drag Queen.
RuPaul lol
If Ru did scenes with Miss Melody how will be able to figure out which one’s the drag queen and which one is the unretouched natural beauty. ( Love year, Miss Melody!)
You not year… ugh
The guest star will be Susan Lucci.
how about mrs c just kidding not possible…. may be patti or cloie
Probly- Dr Phil ..
I heard it was Michael E.Knight who will play a doctor. I can’t remember the soap he was in.
All My Children, he played Tad.
Thanks Eileen. I finally realized where I saw him before.
AMC, Nikki. Michael Knight played Tad Martin.
Oh now I remember him. Thanks CeeCee. Can’t wait until he starts.
You’re welcome, Nikki.
Think shes under contract to another show.4
I could be in denial, but I think this could be Michael Muhney!
You are DEFINITELY in denial! MM wont be returning.
there are “rumors” or what have you… running the mill
that Justin Hartly… may be leaving Y&R
back to prime time
to star in the remake of : “MacGyver”
his name is bandied about
ie: LOL… I’m not in denial…. I would be ecstatic and back… to Genoa City… if “HE” returns
OMG Enough of the Michael Muhney. He’s gone for good. His fans are now making people sick of him and hearing about him. Good luck to him wherever he may be. We have a super Adam Newman and except for a couple of Michael M. friends/family we all love the new Adam.
Sharon Osbourne or one of the other women from ‘The Talk.’ That’s the kind of old-timey soap cross promotion CBS still does.
