Actress Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman, “The Young and the Restless”) and her real-life husband, producer Edward J. Scott (“The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful”), will be recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award during “The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” it was announced on Monday. Public television host and cookbook author Lidia Bastianich will also be honored.

The honors will be presented in person on Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 at the historic Westin Bonaventure Los Angeles with “The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” being broadcast LIVE Friday, June 7 (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.

“We’ve long wanted to honor the legendary daytime duo of Melody Thomas Scott and her husband Edward J. Scott. With a combined 93  years of contributions to our community, they are true institutions in the world of Daytime television. In addition, Lidia Bastianich’s astounding success combines her love of cooking while simultaneously entertaining millions each day. It is an honor for us to say ‘grazie’ for the many fine meals borne from her TV kitchen and cookbook pages,” said Adam Sharp, President and CEO of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), the governing body behind the Daytime Emmy Awards, in a statement.

In a dual statement, the Scotts said: “We are honored and humbled to receive this recognition from NATAS. Throughout our decades-long careers in front of and behind the cameras, we have had the opportunity to work not only with each other, but also with an incredibly talented pool of people who excel in their crafts and are passionate about the art we create in daytime television. We are grateful to have worked side by side with them and to be included with such esteemed recipients who have made their mark in our industry. We look forward to spending another wonderful evening celebrating the daytime community!”

As for Bastianich, she said, “It is a tremendous honor to be recognized and receive the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award for having shared my passion for food with TV audiences for over 25 years. Cooking together and sharing food remain a common denominator of all cultures. Food nurtures, it connects diverse people, and it brings families, friends, and strangers together. There is no better place to be on this earth, especially in these trying times, than sharing food at a table with others. That simple idea has been the basis of my life’s work. Hence, as I say in my shows, “Tutti a Tavola a Mangiare!” Mille Grazie to NATAS for this honor.”
