2019 Daytime Emmy Winner Flashback

Outstanding Lead Actress Winner Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy, B&B) “My day started with my baby spitting up on me and my heel broke right when I got ton the red carpet,” she reported onstage. She also showed her gratitude for her boss. “To Brad Bell [executive producer/head writer], thank you for allowing me to play this beautifully flawless character.”

Outstanding Lead Actor Winner Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) In the press room, Benard admitted he was surprised to be the victor. “Well, you know there was some very tough competition,” he noted. “I just said, ‘All right,’ so I didn’t prepare a speech or anything and that’s a mistake [laughs]. You get shocked, you don’t have a speech, so that’s a double whammo. I don’t know what came out of me up there. I forgot Frank Valentini [executive producer] and I feel terrible. I forgot him and the writers. He understands. He knows I get so emotional.”

Outstanding Supporting Actress Winner Vernee Watson (Stella, GH) “This is just incredible. I am so grateful.”

Outstanding Supporting Actor Winner Max Gail (Mike, GH) “From the get-go, showing up in a room with Frank [Valentini] and Maurice [Benard] … it’s been a wonderful experience all the way … it’s been such a rich and wonderful experience and I am so thankful for it.”

Outstanding Younger Actress Winner Hayley Erin (ex-Kiki, GH) “It was such an incredible ride,” the actress enthused. She was also really excited to be handed the trophy by JEOPARDY host Alex Trebek. “Everyone who knows me knows how much I love Alex Trebek!”

Outstanding Younger Actor Winner Kyler Pettis (ex-Theo, DAYS) “I want to thank DAYS for giving me a chance.”
