Susan Lucci, 76, wows in glam tangerine gown at 2023 Daytime TV Emmys red carpet – best photos

After a six month wait the Daytime Emmy Awards are back – and the red carpet looks as gorgeous as ever with Susan Lucci, 76, rocking a gorgeous sequin tangerine gown.

Susan – who starred as Erica Kane on All My Children and was nominated 19 times before she won the award Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series – will be honored as the Lifetime Achievement Daytime Emmy Award recipient. 

The ceremony was postponed from June 16 due to the SAG and WGA strikes, but with the strikes now over, the Daytime Emmys will be broadcast on CBS, so if you’re a cord cutter you can sign up for a free trial from a live TV streaming service that carries the network if you want to watch without cable. It will also be live streamed on Paramount+.

Inside Edition’s Lisa Guerrero, producer Artisha Mann Cooper and General Hospital’s Eden McCoy among the first to hit the carpet at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles in the hours before the ceremony kicked off at 9/8c. 

Susan will receive her statue by SWAT’s Shemar Moore who was the man who handed her the Emmy back in 1999. 

“I think he’s a perfect choice. Of course, it brings back very happy memories. He’s so charming and wonderful. He’s a very good actor and a very busy man. I’m very glad he’s going to be presenting again. I think the fans will enjoy seeing him,” Susan told TV Insider ahead of the ceremony.

Kelly Clarkson, Drew Barrymore and Zac Efron are all among the 2023 Daytime Emmy nominees.

Kelly has six nominations for her talk show, while Zac received four for his Netflix documentary Down to Earth.

In the soap categories, General Hospital earned the most with 19 nominations – the show has been on air for 60 years – with The Bold and the Beautiful receiving 14 nods, The Young and the Restless 13, and Days of Our Lives 11.
