The first daytime-themed Emmy Awards were presented in 1974, when this award was renamed Outstanding Drama Series and given in honor of a daytime drama.[2] The awards ceremony was not televised in 1983 and 1984, having been criticized for lack of integrity.[3][4] The Emmy was named after an "Immy", an affectionate term used to refer to the image orthicon camera tube.[5] The statuette was designed by Louis McManus, who modeled the award after his wife, Dorothy.[5] The Emmy statuette is fifteen inches tall from base to tip. The statuette weighs 5 pounds and is composed of iron, pewter, zinc and gold.[5]
The award was first presented to The Doctors, which first aired in 1963. General Hospital holds the record for the most awards, winning on sixteen occasions. In 2007, Guiding Light and The Young and the Restless tied, which was the first tie in this category. The Young and the Restless has also received the most nominations, with a total of thirty-three. ABC has been the most successful network, with a total of twenty-one wins.
As of the 2024 ceremony, General Hospital is the most recent recipient of the award.
