Do You Watch Soap Operas?

I just love this picture of Jeanne Cooper, the 79-year-old actress who just won her first Daytime Emmy Award for playing the grand dame of The Young and the Restless, Katherine Chancellor. The show has long been a staple in my family, so her win puts a smile on my face.

It also got me thinking: Are you a soap opera fan? If so, let me know in the comments which series you never miss!

Ellen, Tyra, Rachael Ray Top Daytime Emmy Awards

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:30:30 -0700

Ellen DeGeneres, Rachael Ray, and Jeanne Cooper were among the big winners at the Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday night. DeGeneres took home the award for Outstanding Talk Show Host for the fourth year in a row - but her show, which had won the Outstanding Talk Show prize in each of the last four years, was upset by Rachael Ray in that category.

Meanwhile, Cooper won her first Emmy at age 79 for playing Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless. Cooper, who made her first appearance on the show 35 years ago, had been nominated eight previous times without a win.

Other winners were The Tyra Banks Show and Regis Philbin, who took home a lifetime achievement award. To see the full list of winners - as well as the winners from the Daytime Emmy Entertainment Awards, which were presented earlier this month and recognize different categories in daytime entertainment - just read more.

Oprah Will Say Goodbye to Her Talk Show in 2011

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:22:18 -0800

If getting a chance to sit in on Oprah is something you've always wanted to do, you'd better start looking into tickets - the queen of daytime talk shows is closing up shop. Winfrey will announce on her show tomorrow that her last episode will air on Sept. 9, 2011. Harpo president Tim Bennett released a statement saying,

"Tomorrow, Oprah will announce live on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she has decided to end what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history. The sun will set on the Oprah show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011."

Oprah's show has been on the air for as long as I can remember, and while I'm more of a sporadic watcher, it's hard to imagine the television industry without her favorite things and high-profile interviews with A-listers and beyond. What do you make of this news - will you miss Oprah or is it time for her to go?
