The Young and the Restless weekly video preview for the week of June 22 through 26 teases a major treat for viewers with five award-winning performances. The CBS daytime drama will feature actors and actresses who took home the Daytime Emmy statue between 1984 and 2006. The special theme is fitting because to cap off the whole thing, on Friday, June 26, CBS will air the 47th Daytime Emmy Awards , which return to TV for the first time in several years, starting at 8 p.m.
Traci (Beth Maitland) declared that she just does not want to go on living as tears rolled down her face in a compelling performance from June 27, 1984. For that scene, Maitland won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress, making her the first Y&R performer to ever win a Daytime Emmy, according to SheKnows Soaps .
Next, Victor (Eric Braeden) tried to make a fresh start with Hope (Signy Coleman). The Mustache declared that he would never allow his son, Adam, to grow up without a father. He wanted to be there to help raise the little boy. The scenes that originally aired on March 19, 1997, ended up with Braeden taking home the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor for his memorable performance.
