Sharon Case has tough competition in this year’s Daytime Emmy race.
The Young and the Restless star Sharon Case is nominated for her second Lead Actress Daytime Emmy. Her incredible 2024 work was enough to earn her a nomination this year. However, she has tough competition from her co-stars, as well as two General Hospital leading ladies.
Key Takeaways
- Sharon Case received a 2025 Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress.
- Case is the fan favorite to take home the award.
- Three of Case’s Y&R co-stars are also nominated for Lead Actress.
Strong Actresses
2024 was a phenomenon year for Case with her 30th anniversary on Y&R. The actress was front and center in a huge storyline which had Sharon spiraling out of control.
Sharon’s life was turned upside down when hallucinations of Cameron (Linden Ashby) urged her to seek revenge on Daniel (Michael Graziadei). Things worsened when Sharon believed she killed Heather (Vail Bloom) during a blackout and dumped her body in a river. As Sharon struggled with her guilt and the prospect of prison, little did she know a dastardly duo was responsible for her problems.
Case’s gripping performance of Sharon’s descent earned her a nomination for Lead Actress. Although she’s a fan favorite to win, she has tough competition. Her Y&R co-stars Eileen Davidson (Ashley), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) are also nominated, as well as GH actresses Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) and Laura Wright (Carly).
All the ladies did incredible work, and as Case told TV Insider, “It’s a very, very strong year.” The star calls her fellow nominees “strong actresses” who had “big storylines.” With the competition tough this year, it’s anybody’s game come Daytime Emmy night.
For Case, just being nominated is enough for her. “It makes us all feel all the more grateful and honored you were part of this. It makes being nominated all that really matters, because that’s the prize right there, especially with the category loaded like this.”
Two-Time Winner
Case has been nominated for seven Daytime Emmys; two for Younger Actress, two for Lead Actress, and three for Supporting Actress. She took home the award for Supporting Actress in 1999, her only Daytime Emmy win to date.
Loyal Sharon fans feel the actress is long overdue for another win and this might be her year. She gave an emotional performance in 2024, and she’s one of the leading contenders for this year’s race. Could 2025 finally see Case add another Daytime Emmy to her mantle?
