Darling listeners, make sure you’re sitting somewhere plush because the world of daytime drama has absolutely glittered with star power this October 19th, 2025! The Daytime Emmys just rolled through like a red-carpet tornado, and the only thing more radiant than the Pasadena Civic Auditorium’s chandeliers was the soap royalty strutting away with golden statues clutched to their bejeweled chests.

Let’s talk General Hospital—six decades on air and evidently not tired of collecting trophies. ABC’s soap goddess stormed through the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards with a show-stopping seven big wins, securing the top honor of Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. The stylish Nancy Lee Grahn was the toast of the evening, snatching Best Actress for her fearless portrayal of the ever-resilient Alexis Davis. Grahn, never one to shy from a moment, commanded attention on and off the stage, waving her sparkly clutch scrawled with “Democracy dies in silence” and rallying the industry for good in true leading-lady fashion.

But who says age is a limit in the land of make believe? Legendary David Attenborough, a spry 99, sauntered into the history books as the oldest Daytime Emmy winner ever, proving charisma truly gets better with age. His turn as the wise host of Netflix’s Secret Lives of Orangutans was enough to break Dick Van Dyke’s record from last year. Listeners, we are not worthy!

Whispers at the after-parties were breathless over Paul Telfer’s much-deserved Best Actor victory for smoldering villain Xander Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives. The Scottish heartthrob dedicated his gold to his late mother, confessing she always preferred a deliciously complicated bad boy. Cue the swoons!

Meanwhile, The Young and the Restless delivered a major coup, with Susan Walters dazzling as Supporting Actress for her indelible Diane Jenkins, and Jonathan Jackson of General Hospital added more to his hardware collection as Supporting Actor for his iconic Lucky Spencer. Alley Mills kept the show’s legacy hot with her second win as the deliciously deranged Heather Webber.

Newcomer Lisa Yamada, luminous at 23, snatched the brand new Emerging Talent prize for unleashing Luna Nozawa on The Bold and the Beautiful, leaving her in joyful, mascara-soaked tears and listeners cheering for daytime’s next big thing.

And in the spirit of giving legends their due, Deborah Norville received a standing ovation and the Lifetime Achievement Award, a just reward for decades of class and candor in television.

With the gowns, the speeches, and a flood of confetti-worthy victories, daytime’s reigning royals have ensured there’s no sign of wane in America’s great soap operas. Stay tuned, darlings—if today is any sign, tomorrow’s drama will be even more divine.
