Eileen Davidson (Ashley) has won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series statuettes for both YR and for Days of our Lives.

“@eileen_davidson won the @DaytimeEmmys for “Outstanding Lead Actress” in both 2014 and 2018. So how does she feel about being a @DaytimeEmmys winner??? @YandR_CBS” — and while we could tell you, you’re better off watching for yourself.
Soap opera began in the early 1900s, as radio broadcasts. Soap companies were behind the conception of the daytime dramas because they wanted to sell soaps to stay-at-home-moms. They did their job and also launched a lifelong programming format, the soap operas.
Spanning more than five decades, American sudsers have seen the rise and fall of daytime soaps. In the heyday of soaps in the early 1980s, there were up to 13 different soap operas broadcasted. However, over the years, the number has declined. Currently, there are only four American soap operas on the air.
The four remaining soap operas currently on the air include Days of our Lives, The Young and the Restless (YR), General Hospital (GH), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB). Check your local listings for air times.
