The 2026 Daytime Emmys are October 30, & Young & the Restless<\/a> has two women up for Supporting Actress. One of them is Mariah Copeland<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Camryn Grimes<\/strong><\/em>), & if anyone has earned it, it\u2019s her.<\/p>\n Head writer Josh Griffith has put Mariah through the wringer. Whatever he throws at her, Camryn Grimes catches it & makes it work. Let\u2019s review.<\/p>\n Most actors get one of these storylines in a career. Mariah got all of them, back to back.<\/p>\n As if that weren\u2019t enough, her wife cheated on her. Tessa Porter<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Cait Fairbanks<\/strong><\/em>) hooked up with Daniel Romalotti<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Michael Graziadei<\/strong><\/em>). Daniel, the unemployed guy strumming his guitar in Chancellor Park. The town hobo.<\/p>\n Mariah survived Ian & a kidnapping, & her reward is getting cheated on for the town hobo. Somebody get this woman a vacation, & maybe a black knit hat<\/a> that doesn\u2019t come with a kidnapping attached.<\/p>\n She\u2019s up against her own castmate, Traci Abbott<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Beth Maitland<\/strong><\/em>), which makes this one tough. I\u2019ll save my Traci feelings for #1. I will say this: Young & the Restless<\/a> has kidnapped plenty of people, but nobody sold it like Mariah. If she walks away with the Emmy, she earned every second of it.<\/p>\n Tomorrow, #5: Michael Graziadei as Daniel Romalotti.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Has Mariah earned this Emmy? It\u2019s not my first day watching Y&R & it isn\u2019t yours either. What\u2019s your take?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nJosh Griffith\u2019s Favorite Punching Bag<\/strong><\/h2>\n
