Daily Drama News Nuggets: NATAS Adds a New Category to the Daytime Emmys, How to Shoot Your Shot to Visit the Y&R Set, and More

Out with the old and in with the new. Two years after The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) retired the Daytime Emmy Awards’ ‘Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series’ category comes word that the governing body is adding a new one: ‘Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series.’

Daily Drama News: New Daytime Emmy Award Category

In an interview with TVInsider, Rachel Schwartz, Head of Daytime and Children & Family Emmy® Awards, detailed that said category would be “specifically for people who are on their first daytime contract, so there is not necessarily an age parameter with it.”

While contract status isn’t a requirement, any prospective entrants “need to have a speaking role, and..need to have at least one continuous story arc in order to be eligible.” What’s more, “There will be a limitation that you can enter the category for the first 2 years that you are on the program, and then at that point you’re no longer going to be considered “emerging,” and you also, if you win the category, then you can no longer enter it as well.

One of the impetuses for the category’s creation was a what, rather than a who, three-time Daytime Emmy-winner Helen Gallagher (ex-Maeve Ryan, Ryan’s Hope) to be specific. Said Schwartz: “Before she started there, Helen was already a two-time Tony Award winner and was well-known to New York theater audiences. She then transitioned to becoming a very well-known, well-respected daytime performer.”

As to where the beloved awards show will air, Schwartz revealed that the Academy had yet to finalize deals with a broadcasting partner.

If picked up, the latest iteration of BMS would feature the return of series stars Alan Ritchson (Reacher), who won legions of fans for his turn as Kevin “Thad” Castle, Chris Romano, and Darin Brooks (ex-Wyatt Spencer, The Bold and the Beautiful).

Rictchson, projected star and EP of the potential series, said during an interview: “We’re actually setting it up with Amazon. We are going to make a fourth season happen; I’m trying to work it into my schedule. Honestly, I think it’s going to be the best season of BMS we’ve ever had. It is so damn funny, and it’s perfect, the way we resurrect the characters and bring them into the way that things are now.”
