Our panel of soapcentral.com experts make their predictions on who they think will win at the 2017 Daytime Emmy Awards.
With every awards show comes the endless parade of "experts" offering their thoughts on who will walk home victorious. Well, add another float to the parade.
As we do every year, we've invited some of Soap Central's staffers to offer their picks on who will earn Emmy gold. You may know by now that the Emmy nomination process has come under fire in recent years as being "unfair." There's nothing we can do about that, but we can offer true soap fans the chance to predict this year's Emmy recipients.
Find out who takes home Emmy gold on Sunday, April 30 at 8pm ET/5pm PT when the Daytime Emmys is broadcast on various social media platforms. Of course, Soap Central will bring you comprehensive coverage from the Red Carpet, the press room, and elsewhere during Emmy weekend.
