The annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony is coming up on Friday, October 30, but as soap fans wait to find out who will take home the golden statuettes at this year’s ceremony, we want to know who you would vote for if you were part of the Blue Ribbon judging panel!
The casts and crews of General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Days of our Lives are joined this year by the talent from Beyond the Gates, which is eligible for the Daytime Emmys for the first time. While the winners have already been decided behind closed doors, they won’t be announced until everyone gathers for the gala ceremony at the Hollywood Palladium on October 30.
We invite you to take a look through the major soap categories below and cast your votes for the actors and show that you think deserve to take home a Daytime Emmy Award for their work in 2025. Next, come back here to SoapOperaDigest.com on Thursday, October 29, to see who the fans picked to win. Then, be sure to tune in to the 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards — via the NATAS YouTube channel, watch.theemmys.tv, or the official Emmys App — to see if any of the actual winners match the results of our poll!
