And the honor goes to…Days of our Lives!
Daily Drama News: Days of our Lives To Receive Iconic Show Award
The Peacock original will be bestowed the Iconic Show Award at the 33rd Annual Broadcasting+Cable Hall of Fame Gala.
The ceremony, which pays tribute to the influencers, innovators, and shining lights of broadcast, cable, and streaming television, is set to induct its Class of 2025 on Tuesday, September 30 at New York’s Ziegfeld Ballroom (141 W. 54th St).
Other honorees include headliner Drew Barrymore, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Jimmy Pitaro.
“The Broadcasting+Cable Hall of Fame is proud to recognize this extraordinary group of leaders, innovators, and creative pioneers who have shaped the media landscape in profound ways,” said Charlie Weiss, Chairman of the Broadcasting+Cable Hall of Fame, in a statement. “Each honoree has not only excelled in their field but has also driven meaningful change across the industry. We are thrilled to celebrate their achievements, hear their inspiring journeys, and honor their lasting impact on this special night.”
NOTE: A portion of the net proceeds from the Hall of Fame gala is donated to The Broadcasters Foundation of America, a charitable organization that provides anonymous financial grants to those of our industry colleagues and their families who are in acute need due to critical illness or accident, advanced age, death of a spouse or other serious misfortune.

* Congratulations are due Kimberlin Brown (Sheila Carter Sharpe, The Bold and the Beautiful) who recently became a grandmother twice over! Daughter Alexes Pelzer welcomed a bouncing baby boy that she named Colt Nicholas, and he’s already got Brown wrapped around his tiny finger:

Several of Brown’s costars waded into the comments section with messages of congratulations:
* Age is just a number! Coronation Street stalwart Bill Roache (Ken Barlow), the sixty-five-year-old soap’s sole remaining original cast member and a recent recipient of The Entertainment Agents’ Awards’ Lifetime Achievement Award, boasted to the Champions Speakers Agency: “I’m looking forward to being in the program for many more years to come.”
* Former onscreen lovers and real-life engaged twosome Casey Moss (JJ Deveraux, DAYS) and True O’Brien (ex-Paige Larson) are headlining a new, short comedy-horror flick from writer and director James Brylowski:

* EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy has detailed the reason for her exit from the show that she’s called home (on and off) for over three decades. She told Bella magazine: “I left because I felt the time was right to do so. I was ready for a change after 32 years.
“I adore EastEnders, but you can’t do everything. And EastEnders is a factory with 60 cast members and 300 staff, so they can’t cater for someone who says, ‘By the way, I need two months off to do this, I need another three months off to do this.’ It’s not fair.
“It had to be a clean break so I can focus on other projects and spend time with my family, which I haven’t been doing enough of in recent months.”
