Heather Tom Invites First-Time Guest
After 36 years in the soap world and six Daytime Emmy wins, Tom is accustomed to the festivities of daytime’s biggest night. This year, Tom scored her seventh Lead Actress nomination for her role as Katie on B&B. Aside from her acting nomination, she’s also nominated as a member of B&B’s writing team.
While most stars are nervous before an awards show, it’s the opposite for Tom. In an interview on her Instagram page, the actress says she’s “excited” about the year’s Daytime Emmys.
For the ceremony, Tom’s husband James and her son Zane will accompany her. And it will be a big moment for Zane, since this is his first time attending the Emmys.
“This is actually the first year that Zane has gone to the Emmys, and so he’s super excited. He went with me to Monte Carlo last year for the television festival and just loved walking the red carpet, and he had his whole look down. It’s like his whole swag, and yeah, it was just like we had such a good time.”
Double Daytime Winner
Throughout her three decades in acting, Tom has been nominated for 20 Daytime Emmys and won six times. Four of her victories were as B&B’s Katie, and her last win came in 2020 for Lead Actress. This year, Tom has a chance to add not one, but two trophies to her shelf.
Tom gave an incredible performance during the Luna (Lisa Yamada) and Will (Crew Morrow) storyline last year. Tom showed off Katie’s fierce and protective side as she tried to save her son from Luna’s clutches. But she also played into Katie’s pain at having to watch her family being shattered by Luna.
Aside from her onscreen work, Tom wrote an amazing script for B&B’s special Women’s History Month episode. The episode took fans on an emotional rollercoaster with Hope (Annika Noelle) and Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) confrontation in which Hope almost slapped her mother. The episode was praised by journalists and fans, and it could score Tom her first writing Emmy.
It’s going to be a big night for Tom as she possibly becomes a double winner. And the best part is she’ll have the two most important men in her life on hand supporting her.
