Don Diamont Brings Luck To Beth Maitland
Forty-one years after her first Daytime Emmy win, Maitland can add another victory to her list of accolades. Maitland was a fan favorite to win, and there were lots of cheers when her name was announced during the Oct. 30th ceremony. One person who was excited for Maitland is Diamont.
Diamont played Brad Carlton on Y&R from 1985 to 2009, and his character was married to Maitland’s Traci. After Diamont’s departure, the two have remained close, and the actor credits Maitland with being a mentor during his early soap days.
When the pair met up at the Daytime Emmys, it was a special moment for them and for fans. On Maitland’s Instagram, she posted a photo of her and Diamont after her win.
”Magic moments. He’s my lucky charm too!!!” Maitland captioned the post.
Seeing the two together again had fans in a joyful mood. “I love this photo. I remember watching you when you were married years ago, wrote a viewer.
”Aww, I love this. I loved your storyline way back when and love that you remain friends,” one fan commented.
“I can’t take it! Brad Carlton and Traci Abbott reunited!” wrote Y&R co-head writer Jamey Giddens.
Lots Of Celebrating
The Daytime Emmys were a big night for Diamont’s past and current co-stars. Aside from Maitland’s victory, Diamont’s onscreen B&B son Scott Clifton (Liam) won for Lead Actor.
Diamont was seated next to Clifton when his name was called and gave his TV son a hug. Later, the two posed for photos at the after-party, and Diamont was there as Clifton got his trophy engraved.
Needless to say, it was a memorable night for Maitland, Clifton, and Diamont. And it seems like when it comes to lucky charms, Diamont brought plenty for his co-stars.
