Publish date: 2022-08-09

THE Daytime Emmy Awards this year did not disappoint, honoring stars and shows like no one's business.

All My Children star Susan Lucci was honored this year with the Lifetime Achievement Award for her 40-year run as Erica Kane on the ABC show.

"How lucky was I to be put in the hands of (creator) Agnes Nixon?" she said after being presented with the award.

"Agnes was the trailblazer. She was the visionary storyteller who gave me the part of a lifetime: The fabulously flawed Erica Kane."

The actress also thanked her son, Andreas Huber, and late husband, Helmut Huber, saying: "It means so much to me to have [Andreas] here with me.

"And you know what else? I feel your dad's presence here tonight with us, too. I thank my husband, Helmut Huber, because he has everything to do with my standing up here tonight, and receiving this incredible award."

Meanwhile, General Hospital won big, taking home six awards, including one for the late Sonya Eddy in her role as head nurse Epiphany Johnson, who died last December following a post-op infection.
