Daytime Emmy Winner: Outstanding Drama Series

This year's Daytime Emmy nominees for Outstanding Drama Series

Days of our Lives, Peacock

General Hospital, ABC

The Young and the Restless, CBS

And the Daytime Emmy goes to General Hospital

General Hospital had a banner year in 2024 as Port Charles mourned multiple deaths, including Bobbie Spencer's ( the late Jacklyn Zeman), Spencer Cassadine's (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), and Samantha McCall's (Kelly Monaco).

GH also had its fair share of adventure, adulterous affairs (we're looking at you, Willow and Drew), and weddings (like Chase and Brook Lynn's). We also saw Kristina (Kate Mansi) fall out Ava's (Maura West) Metro Court window and into the pool at nine months pregnant. She tragically lost the baby she was carrying as a surrogate for her sister, Molly (Kristen Vaganos). That resulted in a murder trial, as Kristina insisted Ava pushed her. 2024 also brought the return of Steve Burton as Jason Morgan.

In 2025, GH is following up with another Emmy-worthy year as the soap has been on fire for months. Ava and Kristina are now miraculously friends after Kristina tried to kill Ava earlier this year. We have also seen the transformation of Willow Tait (Kaitlin MacMullen), Michael reborn with a new actor and new attitude, and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) morph into a villain everybody hates, but doesn't love to hate. He even became the subject of a "Who Shot...?" plot.

GH recently said goodbye to another beloved performer and character with the loss of Leslie Charleson and Monica Quartermaine in some of the most moving episodes we've ever seen.

GH also took home an Emmy for Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Directing, while Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine) Daytime Emmys Gold Circle honoree for her decades of work on soap operas.

Catch all-new episodes of General Hospital weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
