The countdown to the 52nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards has begun, and fans of soap operas, talk shows, and daytime television are buzzing with anticipation. Set for Friday, October 17, 2025, at the historic Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California, this year’s ceremony promises to deliver a night of glamour and excitement. However, a significant twist has emerged: the event will not be broadcast on national television. Instead, viewers will need to tune in online at 7:00 p.m. via Emmy-connected apps and platforms.
The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recently unveiled the nominations, and the competition is fierce. Heavyweights like “Days of Our Lives,” “General Hospital,” and “The Young and the Restless” have secured multiple nods, while “The Bold and the Beautiful” has found itself surprisingly absent from the race, igniting discussions among soap enthusiasts. Will this absence impact its future at the Emmys? Only time will tell.
Hosting this year’s event is none other than Mario Lopez, a familiar face in the entertainment industry and a former star of “The Bold and the Beautiful.” With his charisma and star power, Lopez is set to elevate the evening, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all.
In a notable change from previous years, the creative arts awards and the daytime Emmy awards will be combined into a single night of celebration, heightening the stakes and excitement. Winners will be announced on the same evening, promising a thrilling atmosphere filled with surprises.
Fans should also note that CBS’s new series “Beyond the Gates,” which premiered on February 24, 2025, will not be eligible for this year’s awards but is expected to make a splash in the 2026 ceremony.
Mark your calendars, fire up those streaming devices, and prepare for a night where the brightest stars of daytime television will shine. The Daytime Emmy Awards are set to be an event you won’t want to miss!
