The 2022 Daytime Emmy nominations were announced on May 5, and as expected, there were a lot of surprises. Soap opera actors put in a lot of remarkable performances this past year. While many fans agree these talented stars deserve a nomination, only a select few get recognition. Here is a look at some notable stars who missed out this year.

‘General Hospital’ star Maurice Benard won’t be a repeat Lead Actor winner

Maurice Benard already has three Lead Actor Daytime Emmys for his role of Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital. His most recent win came in 2021, and sadly he won’t be making it back-to-back wins. Many fans felt he was a lock for a nomination because of the Nixon Falls storyline, with Sonny having amnesia. Yet, Benard’s name was missing from the list.
