The leading ladies of “The Bold and the Beautiful” are not to be trifled with. The CBS soap is the youngest currently on the air (it debuted in 1987), but it has more Daytime Emmy wins for Best Actress than any other show currently on the air. That’s even more remarkable since it didn’t win its first Best Actress trophy until 2000. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is one of the show’s past winners for playing Steffy Forrester. Can she continue that tradition with another win this year?
The most awarded soap in the history of Best Actress is “One Life to Live” with 11 total victories, thanks in large part to the record six wins for Erika Slezak. That show went off the air in 2012 and had a short-lived online revival in 2013 before ending for good. “B&b” is next in line with seven wins, all of them since 2000, which means the...

“General Hospital” was the biggest nominee at the 2021 Daytime Emmys when the contenders were announced on May 25, and it wasn’t even close.

“Gh” is up for Best Drama Series, as are the other three soaps remaining on the air: “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Days of Our Lives,” and “The Young and the Restless.” But those other shows aren’t nearly as represented in the overall nominations totals. In second place behind “Gh” is “Days” with 11 bids, then “Y&r” with 10, and “B&b” with nine. To put things in perspective, “Gh” has more nominations just for acting (16) than any other soap has overall.
So does that mean “Gh” is a lock for Best Drama Series?...

Courtney Hope is departing Los Angeles for Genoa City. The former star of “The Bold and the Beautiful” posted a photo of herself on Instagram on August 20 wearing “The Young and the Restless” apparel with the caption, “This seems like a good fit.” Daytime Confidential subsequently confirmed that the actress is making the move from one soap to the other.
Hope first arrived on “B&b” in 2017 as Sally Spectra, the grandniece of a fashion mogul also named Sally Spectra and the granddaughter of Shirley Spectra (Patrika Darbo). The younger Sally was so obsessed with Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) that she pretended to be dying in order to keep him with her, and even kidnapped the woman he really loved, Flo (Katrina Bowden). Suffice it to say that didn’t pan out.

Heather Tom has earned yet another Daytime Emmy nomination for Best Actress for playing Katie Logan on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Her career has now entered its fourth decade spanning three different soap operas, and for the last several years she has been on the verge of history. One more victory would tie her with Erika Slezak as the most awarded actress ever at the Daytime Emmys. But that milestone win has proven elusive.
Tom broke through in daytime on “The Young and the Restless” as corporate heiress Victoria Newman. She joined that show in 1990 when she was just a teenager and played the role for 13 years. Along the way she earned nine Emmy nominations, winning Best Younger Actress twice.

Thorsten Kaye earned a Best Actor nomination at the 2020 Daytime Emmys for playing Ridge Forrester on CBS’s soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful.” It’s his first nomination for this role, which he took over from longtime star Ronn Moss in 2013, but it’s actually his fifth Best Actor bid overall, which makes it a historic milestone for the actor. No one else in Daytime Emmy history has earned Best Actor noms for three different shows.

The 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards announced their nominations during “The Talk” on Thursday, May 21, and “General Hospital” leads the way with 23 bids including Best Drama Series. It has won that top prize 13 times, more than any other show, so can it extend that record? Check out the list of nominations here.
Leading the nominations tally doesn’t necessarily make “Gh” the automatic front-runner, especially when its rivals are so close. “Days of Our Lives” has 22 nominations, and “The Young and the Restless” has 21. “Y&r” is actually the defending champion for the top award, while “Days” won it the year before that in 2018. “Gh’s” last victory was in 2017.

Hollywood recently lost the great comedian Fred Willard, who died on May 15 at age 86. He was loved for his comedic work in the films of Christopher Guest and on shows like “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Modern Family” and the upcoming “Space Force.” But the one Emmy he received during his life was actually for a drama — the daytime drama “The Bold and the Beautiful” to be exact. Take a look back at his backstage interview with Michael Fairman above.

The network has a fun plan in place to keep your favorite daytime divas and divos in your living rooms with “memorable themed weeks” starting Monday, April 27.

As we previously reported, the CBS sudsers were slightly more than a month ahead when work on both shows came to an abrupt, unprecedented halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sand isn’t the only thing running through the hourglass during these scary days of our lives. Network soap operas shot before the coronavirus forced all Hollywood productions to shut down last month will soon run out of original episodes — and are scrambling for contingency plans.
This month, ABC’s “General Hospital” and CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” began airing repeat or “classic” episodes on Friday, a move intended to slow down the speeding train when they run out of original episodes. And “General Hospital” is now interweaving flashbacks into new episodes to stretch out its stockpile of already-shot material, while also giving lapsed viewers a chance to catch up on current story lines.
According to soap production insiders, the completed episodes could run out as soon as mid to late May. The two CBS shows are in the planning stages of the...

She was a Chicago TV pioneer who went on to co-create two enduring TV franchises, the CBS soap operas “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.”
But more than anything else, Lee Phillip Bell, who died Feb. 25 at the age of 91, was remembered by friends and colleagues as a gracious, erudite and kindhearted person who was the definition of a “great lady,” in the words of “Y&r” star Eric Braeden.
“When she walked into a room, you just knew that this was someone worthy of enormous respect,” Braeden tells Variety. “You knew from talking to her that she was someone who was so informed about various subject matters and was so used to talking intelligently on television about them.”
Phillip Bell got her start in her native Chicago when television was in its infancy. She was a forerunner of future Chicago-based talk show personalities Oprah Winfrey...
