The 2023 recipients of the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award were actress Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane, All My Children) and talk show host, Maury Povich. This year, actress Melody Scott Thomas (Nikki Newman, Young and the Restless), along with her husband of almost 39 years, Edward Scott (Supervising Producer for the Bold and the Beautiful) will be presented with the prestigious award.
