Susan Haskell, One Life to Live’s Susan Haskell won the Outstanding Lead Actress Daytime Emmy on Sunday, in what could be one of the most competitive categories of the year.
Haskell returned to One Life to Live and found herself in the midst of the controversial “Rapemance” storyline. It’s culmination–which featured an amnesiac Marty Saybrooke pulling a gun on Todd Manning (Trevor St. John)–was the submission that won her the award. Her performance beat out The Young and the Restless’ Jeanne Cooper in dual roles, Debbie Morgan’s Angie reuniting with Jesse (Darnell Williams) on All My Children, Maura West’s scenes opposite of Michael Park on As the World Turns and Susan Flannery’s Stephanie Forrester at Eric Forrester’s hospital bedside on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Haskell’s Outstanding Lead Actress win is the first in the category from One Life to Live since Erika Slezak. She joins the ranks of notable One Life to Live actresses who have won the award, including: Judith Light, Robin Strasser, Erika Slezak and Hillary B. Smith.
Haskell won a Outstanding Supporting Actress Daytime Emmy in 1994.
