ABC’s legendary sudser “General Hospital” is looking to defend its crown at the Daytime Emmys, landing 19 nominations this year — the most of any program — as the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced contenders for the landmark 50th annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Last year, “General Hospital” was the big winner with five awards — including best daytime drama — as the telecast returned to a live, in-person event. This time out, NATAS first revealed multiple categories Tuesday night via various entertainment shows, and it looked like CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” — also in the middle of its 50th anniversary celebration — had taken an early lead.
But after all was tallied, CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” was actually next in line, with 14 nods, followed by “The Young and the Restless” (13), NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” (11) and the most-honored non-serial, the syndicated “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” also with 11.

Exclusive: Lifetime is expanding its unscripted slate with three new original series set to air on the newly dubbed Life & Crime Mondays. The shows are #TextMeWhenYouGetHome; Meet Marry Murder and Phrogging: Hider in My House, along with UK import Sleeping with a Killer.
Lifetime’s push in true crime unscripted series is not surprising. The network already has a longstanding tradition with true crime-based original movies. Additionally, true crime docuseries attract largely female audiences that are at the core of Lifetime’s target demo. That is the reason NBCU’s female-focused channel Oxygen has leaned so heavily into the genre with its original lineup.
Life & Crime Mondays will kick off with #TextMeWhenYouGetHome and Sleeping with a Killer airing June 6th, at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., respectively. Phrogging: Hider in My House and Meet Marry Murder will debut later this summer.
