The 43rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards are being held tonight and will celebrate, among other things, the best actors and actresses in daytime television. Throughout its history, the Daytime Emmys have honored many of the greats like Anthony Geary, Susan Flannery, Erika Slezak, Kim Zimmer, Douglass Watson, David Canary, Larry Bryggman and Michael Zaslow. Several legends have received Lifetime Achievement Awards (Eileen Fulton, Rachel Ames and Don Hastings come to mind) while others were honored in other ways (Mary Stuart and Charita Bauer were given a Special Recognition Award in 1985). But some of the very best actors that ever worked in the medium have never won a Daytime Emmy Award, and a few of them have never even been nominated.
Below is our list of the Top 25 and the memorable roles they played that deserved the gold.
1. Beverlee McKinsey (Iris, Another World; Alexandra, Guiding Light)
2. Maureen Garrett (Holly, Guiding Light)
3. James Mitchell (Palmer, All My Children)
4. Ilene Kristen (Delia, Ryan's Hope; Roxy, One Life to Live)

From left to right: Anne Howard, Nelson Aspen, Stephen Schnetzer, Colleen Zenk, Ryan Brown and Anna Holbrook. |
"I never got to work with these talented ladies during my stint at Another World, so we're making up for lost time," Nelson says of Anna and Alice. "I actually first fell for Anna when she was a temporary recast as Vanessa Chamberlain on Guiding Light, so that's how long I've been a fan!"
Janet agrees, "It's a dream come true to work with Anna and Alice again [after Another World]. What pros!" Alice just filmed an episode of Donny Deutsch's upcoming comedy series, Donny. Anna is practically a newlywed after marrying award winning actor James Cromwell in 2014.

Soap Worlds Collide at New Web Series Cast Gathering in New York
Anne Howard, Stephen Schnetzer, Colleen Zenk, Anna Holbrook, Ryan Brown and Nelson Aspen. |
Stay tuned to Serial Scoop for updates and announcements on this exciting new project as they become available. In the meantime, let's look at the many soap lives of this talented group.
Anne Howard is best known to fans of daytime drama for her portrayal of Nicole Love on Another World, and Kimberly Brady on Days of our Lives. Her many post-soap opera credits include primetime serials Desperate Housewives, Nip/Tuck and Private Practice, and she has become a host/spokesperson extraordinaire for a number of companies.
Anne Howard, Stephen Schnetzer, Colleen Zenk, Anna Holbrook and Ryan Brown will appear in Nelson Aspen's upcoming web series. |
Colleen Zenk spent 32 years playing sweet-heroine-turned-mother-from-hell Barbara Ryan on As the World Turns, earning three Emmy nominations, critical acclaim and a huge fan following along the way. She has been working non-stop on stage, TV, film and web series since ATWT went off the air in 2010, including the Indie Series Award-nominated role of Agnes Snead in Western drama Thurston.
Anna Holbrook has appeared on One Life to Live and All My Children but is best known for her Emmy-winning work as Sharlene Frame Hudson (and her alter Sharly) on Another World. In 2008, she played the wife of former Another World co-star Kale Browne in an episode of a radio soap opera I wrote and produced, Scripts & Scruples.
Ryan Brown starred as legacy characters Bill Lewis on Guiding Light and Billy Abbott on The Young and the Restless. Since his soap days, Brown has become a successful author and photographer.
Denise Pence and Nelson Aspen |
Denise Pence is still remembered fondly for her run as Nurse Katie Parker on Guiding Light from 1977 to 1985. She has been active in the theater community since her soap days, including her heralded work with The Rehearsal Club.

Anne Howard, Colleen Zenk |
In addition to Marcia McCabe and Yvonne Goutman, daytime veterans Colleen Zenk (As the World Turns) and Anne Howard (Another World, Days of our Lives) are excited to join the cast of the show, which will debut this summer and promises lots of interactive opportunities and exclusive behind-the-scenes special features. Be sure to watch this space for all the breaking news of casting developments with more big names and much-missed favorites on board for the project.
"Janet and I worked with Anne on Another World back in those Halcyon days of the '80s, so it's a special treat to be reunited with her, professionally," Aspen says. "As for Colleen, anyone who watched her as Barbara Ryan on As the World Turns for all those wonderful years can't help but be a fan of her work, style and beauty. Having been pals the last couple years off screen, it's an extraordinary gift to now get to work with her on screen."
In a recent Serial Scoop poll, we asked fans which soap opera character played by Marcia McCabe did they remember most fondly. 93% chose Sunny Adamson from Search for Tomorrow.

The Family SneadProduction on the third season of Thurston is currently underway and Serial Scoop has an exclusive first look from the set. In Season 3 Agnes and Edmund are reunited and it has ripple effects for the entire Snead family. This is going to be epic!
Agnes (Colleen Zenk): Thurston's shrewd former madam. Mother of the Snead boys. Fierce and domineering, she takes care of herself and her own.
Edmund (Walt Willey): A charming scoundrel and gambler. Husband to Agnes and father of the Snead boys. Dangerous to those who cross him.
Harlan (Evan Casey): Lawman turned gunman. Oldest son of Thurston’s former madam Agnes Snead. Cunning, controlling and cruel.
Amon (Felipe Cabezas): The middle Snead brother. Suffers from a “derangement of the mind” after a mineshaft accident. Leaves bodies in his wake.
Owen (Garrett Brennan): The youngest Snead. Babied by his mother and bullied by his brother Harlan. Years of resentment simmer just below the surface.
Check out one more photo below of Agnes and Edmund's reunion.
