LOS ANGELES (AP) — Thorsten Kaye and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood of “The Bold and the Beautiful” won lead acting honors at the Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday night, when “General Hospital” collected six trophies, including four for acting.

Kaye, who plays Ridge Forrester on the CBS soap, wasn’t on hand to accept.

“Thorsten would have thanked me because I help him through everything,” joked co-star John McCook, last year’s lead actor winner who presented the lead actress award this year.

MacInnes Wood collected her third trophy for her role as Steffy Forrester, the daughter of Ridge.

“Wow! Awesome! Oh my gosh,” MacInnes Wood said. “I’m so grateful for this ride.”

“General Hospital” capped a dominating night by winning outstanding drama series.

“This is really a special night and I feel very appreciative and a little anxious,” executive producer Frank Valentini said. “We’d like to dedicate this to Sonya Eddy and N’Neka Garland, we love you so much.”

Eddy won supporting actress honors for her 16-year role as no-nonsense head nurse Epiphany Johnson on the venerable ABC show. She died in December 2022 at age 55 from an infection after surgery.

Garland worked as a producer at “General Hospital” for 22 years before dying of a heart attack in March at age 49.

Robert Gossett, who plays Marshall Ashford on “General Hospital,” claimed the supporting actor trophy. He also won last year in the guest performer category for the same role.

Eden McCoy won for outstanding younger performer as Josslyn Jacks. The 20-year-old actor debuted on “General Hospital” in 2015. Her mother, Natasha McCoy, died of cancer in November.

“This is for and because of my mother,” McCoy said. “It’s not lost on me what an absolute privilege it is to be able to do something, not only I like to do but love to do for a living, and I love what I do. It’s really easy to be grateful on nights like this, but I am grateful every day.”

Alley Mills, best-known for her role as the mother on “The Wonder Years,” won for guest performance on a daytime drama.

“General Hospital” also won for its directing team.

Susan Lucci received the Lifetime Achievement Honor for her 40-year run as Erica Kane on “All My Children.” The actor, who turns 77 next week, was nominated 18 times in the lead actress category without winning before she ended the wait in 1999.
