Before the Daytime Emmys got their own ceremony the Primetime Emmys gave Emmys to Daytime TV. In 1972 Nbcs The Doctors (Allen Potter, EP) won the first Emmy for Best Drama Series. In 1973 CBS’ The Edge of Night (Erwin Nicholson, EP) won Best Drama Series and Mary Fickett won Individual Performer for her role as Ruth Parker Brent on All My Children.
In 1974 The first Daytime Emmys were given their own award ceremony. NBC’s The Doctors won Best Drama Series (Joseph Stuart, EP) (I would love to know what episodes they picked for their submission). In 1975 CBS’ The Young and The Restless (Bill Bell and John Conboy, EP) won Best Drama Series (If anyone knows their submission please tell me). In 1976 NBCs Another World (Paul Rauch, EP) won Best Drama Series (I was once told what their Emmy submission was that year but I forgot). In 1977 ABCs Ryan’s Hope (Claire Labine and Paul Avila Mayer, EPs) won Best Drama Series (Someone please tell me what their submission was). In 1978 NBC’S Days of Our Lives (Betty Corday and Wes Kenny, EPs) won Best Drama Series (I heard a recording on YouTube but I couldn’t tell who was talking on the clips). In 1979 Ryan’s Hope (Claire and Paul) won their second Emmy for Best Drama Series (I’m curious about what they picked for their submission).
In 1980 CBS’ Guiding Light (Allen Potter, EP) won Best Drama for Roger and Rita in the hall of mirrors episode. In 1981 ABC’s General Hospital (Gloria Monty, EP) won Best Drama Series for what looked like Luke and Laura having an intimate conversation while they were on the Run. In 1982 Guiding Light (Potter) won their second Emmy for best drama series (I definitely want to know what their submission was maybe Kelly and Morgan’s wedding or Diane Ballard’s murder).

In 1985 and 1986 The Young and The Restless won back to back Emmys for Best Drama Series (Bell, Ed Scott, and Tom Langan). I’m not sure what their 1985 submission was but their 1986 submission was Jack daydreaming about Victor shooting him after he catches Jack in bed with Nikki. In 1987 CBS’As The World Turns (Robert Calhoun, EP) won Best Drama Series (I don’t know what their submission was but I think one of them might have been Doug Cummings murder ?).

I’m not sure what they submitted in 87 but their 88 submission must have had something to do with Eden’s rape. Their 1990 submission was 1989s Christmas episode of Cruz feeling as if he has nothing to live for and he embarks on a dreamlike journey through town.
In 1991, As The World Turns (Laurence Caso) won their second Emmy for Best Drama Series. I wonder if they picked Margo pulling the plug on Casey for their submission?

I know their 1995 submission was BJs death and Maxie receiving her heart. 1996 was Stone’s death and I have no clue what 1997s reel could have been.

In 1999 General Hospital (Richie) won Best Drama Series for their powerful take of Elizabeth’s rape and Luke and Laura reliving the tale of Luke raping Laura.

ReplyFrom those early years I have seen all of The Doctors episodes during 1971-72 and 1973-74 and all of the episodes of Ryan’s Hope for 1976-77 and 1978-79. I recently watched all of the episodes of Guiding Light from 1979-80 on YouTube! The Doctors was strong from 1967-69 and then from 1971-75 in particular. The early years of Ryan’s Hope were amazing!
I found it most surprising that All My Children didn’t win until it’s 17th nomination and won all 3 of its awards in the 1990’s.
I wish As the World Turns had won for all of the Douglas Marland years! I found Santa Barbara wildly uneven during it’s heyday, including the 3 years in a row that it won.
Loving ought to have been nominated for 1995-96 on the strength of it’s farewell Loving murders storyline.
One Life To Live was way better than it’s rare few nominations and only 1 win ever.
Another World was superb between 1985-96 and then started to go downhill from 1997-99. It ought to have fared better.
The Edge Of Night was brilliant from 1979-83 – truly great soap!
I know for certain that AMC submitted Terence Frye’s being attacked as one of their submissions for 1994.
The fact that General Hospital won for the Nutcracker episode as one of it’s two submissions for 2016 gives me hope it can win this year despite the 2nd episode being the Christmas Carol episode.
Some of the Y&R winning submissions were excruciating imo.
Just hoping either Days or GH wins this year.

What did Y&r pick for their 1983 and 85 wins?
