With today’s nominations announcement for “The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” there were a couple of notable details pointed out by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the organization behind the Daytime Emmy Awards. For the first time since 2012, there were African American nominees in the Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series: Actor and Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series: Actress categories, and for the first time since 2014, there were five nominees in the category of Outstanding Daytime Drama Series.

James Reynolds is nominated for his performance as Abe Carver on “Days of our Lives.” He previously won the award in 2018 in the same category after four nominations. Meanwhile, Mishael Morgan is nominated for her performance as Amanda Sinclair on “The Young and the Restless.” She was previously nominated in 2018 and 2019 in the Supporting Actress category and for her previous role as Hilary Curtis on the daytime drama series. 

The last time there were two African American nominees in the lead acting categories was in 2012 when “All My Children” stars Darnell Williams and Debbi Morgan were up for their portrayals as Jesse Hubbard and Angela Hubbard, respectively. Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer, “General Hospital”) and Heather Tom (Katie Logan, “The Bold and the Beautiful”) won that year.

Joining perennial Outstanding Daytime Drama Series nominees this year is Peacock’s “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,” marking the first time since 2014 that more than four shows were nominated in the category. The five-episode series spinoff of “Days of our Lives” was recently renewed for a second season which debuts in July on the streaming service. Also nominated in the category this year are “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Days of our Lives,” “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless.”

This year marks the first time in history that a television series (“Days of our Lives”) will be vying against its spinoff (“Beyond Salem”) in the category of Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. “Port Charles,” a spinoff of “General Hospital,” was the last expansion series to be nominated in this category in 2003. “General Hospital” was not nominated, however. “As The World Turns” won the award that year.

“The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” will be broadcast live on Friday, June 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET (delayed PT) on CBS from the Pasadena Civic Center in Los Angeles.

    • At this point and laziness that I've witnessed... I doubt anything will be better or improved in this show. Bell doesn't care.
    • I know I've said it before, but I'm loving Rory Gibson as Michael. He was wasted on Young and the Restless.

    • I watched Monday's and Tuesday's episodes last night but feel asleep and missed most of Tuesday's episode. Still not happy certain characters weren't there. It makes no sense. It must be Days awful schedule of taping.

    • Today was the day everybody recreated the flower ceremony from John and Marlena's 1999 wedding

      And once again, it was beautiful. I also couldn't help but laugh though when Brady brought up John's use of his eyebrow whenever he dealt with his kids or grandkids. It's little lighthearted moments like that, that really have helped make these episodes and this tribute so real and genuine. And even though they couldn't get Alison Sweeney back for John's memorial, I'm glad that they came up with the idea to have Eric read a letter from Sami. The way that the letter was written is pretty much what Sami would have said if she had made it back to say goodbye to John.  Marlena and Bo's eulogies were the ones that got me today. I seriously wonder if their's or anyone else's were scripted or improvised. And I agree Bo, John's huge heart and compassion was his true power.

    • Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

    • Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust. 
    • I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.
