Eileen Davidson leads Daytime Emmy predictions for Best Drama Actress, but watch out for Nancy Lee Grahn

The Daytime Emmys race for Best Drama Actress is shaping up to be a battle between Eileen Davidson (The Young and the Restless) and Nancy Lee Grahn (General Hospital). According to Gold Derby's predictions, the former is currently out front with a 54 percent chance of winning, while the latter is in the runner-up position with 21 percent. Davidson has played Ashley Abbott, a successful chemist and businesswoman who consistently navigates family drama, on and off since since her The Young and the Restless debut in 1982. During the eligible 2024 season, Ashley experienced Dissociative Identity Disorder and splintered into several different personalities, including Ash, Mrs. Abbott, and Belle. To date, Davidson has won two Daytime Emmys for Best Drama Actress, in 2014 for Days of Our Lives and in 2018 for The Young and the Restless. More from Gold Derby 2025 Emmys: These are the episodes every Best Comedy Actor nominee submitted Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor in 'The History of Sound' trailer: Everything to know about Oliver Hermanus' queer romance Grahn's Alexis Davis has been a constant presence since 1996, and the actress is one of General Hospital's longest-running cast members. Alexis is the daughter of a Greco-Russian prince and a Swedish opera singer, and she continues to connect with audiences by being a successful lawyer and mother. Last year, Alexis experienced a tragic loss when her daughter, Sam (Kelly Monaco), was killed off the show due to complications from a liver transplant. Grahn was previously recognized with two awards for Best Drama Supporting Actress, in 1989 for Santa Barbara and in 2012 for General Hospital. Fun fact: this marks the third time that Davidson and Grahn have faced off in Best Drama Actress at the Daytime Emmys. They both lost to Susan Flannery (The Bold and the Beautiful) in 2003, while Davidson prevailed in 2018. Who will win this year? Let's look at the Gold Derby data: Best Drama Actress Contender Odds 1. Eileen Davidson The Young and the Restless 54.1% 2. Nancy Lee Grahn General Hospital 20.8% 3. Sharon Case The Young and the Restless 10.8% 4. Michelle Stafford The Young and the Restless 6.5% 5. Laura Wright General Hospital 4.8% 6. Melissa Claire Egan The Young and the Restless 3.0% In third place is Sharon Case (Sharon Newman on The Young and the Restless) with an 11 percent chance of winning. This would be her first lead victory after taking home a supporting trophy in 1999. Then there's Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers on The Young and the Restless) at 7 percent. She's already a three-time champion for this role, for supporting in 1997 and for lead in 2004 and 2024. Coming in fourth place with a 5 percent chance is Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos on General Hospital). She previously won the statuette in this category in 2011. Finally, there's Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson on The Young and the Restless) at 3 percent. She's the only Best Drama Actress nominee this year who hasn't yet won a prize of her own. The 2025 Daytime Emmys take place on Oct. 17. In the meantime, here's what our users are saying in the forums: 'I'm never predicting Grahn or Bergman again! I understand why Grahn lost in 2017 (long reel that felt disjointed) but she should have won in 2018, 2021 & 2022 (supporting) based on submitted reels and still lost. They clearly love her because she gets nominated almost everytime she submits. But they obviously feel she's been rewarded enough and feel no need to reward her again no matter how good her reel is. Same for Bergman. He gets nominated all the time but hasn't won in more than 20 years. Every few years, pundits say his reel is the best in the category and this is the year he's finally gonna win again and he still loses.'

Meeting abandoned at Berwick after Hume crash

Stellar Monarchs went down 37-35 at Berwick Bandits in the Cab Direct Championship, but the meeting was abandoned after a crash in Heat 12 involving home captain Danyon Hume. It resulted in a lengthy delay and the curfew curtain fell so the meeting was abandoned. The result stands. Monarchs came from behind to level as the teams headed into what would become the final heat. A re-run was required after Hume (pictured) was warned for an unsatisfactory start. In the re-start, Bandits reserve Jack Smith was away best with Justin Sedgmen behind and Jonatan Grahn doing battle with Hume for third. Grahn caught some grip on the final bend, coming down and leaving Hume with nowhere to go but into Grahn's bike. The race was awarded a home 4-2 and Monarchs captain Paco Castagna said: 'We pulled back the gap and, once the track settled down, we all drilled in and scored the points, so I was happy to see that. 'If we finished the meeting we may have won, but it was a very bad crash and that takes priority.' Bandits await news of Hume's injuries. Berwick 37 : Hagon 6+1, Hume 8+1, Kemp 8+1, Kildemand 8, Wood 2+1, Smith 5 Stellar Monarchs 35 : Palovaara 3+1, Thomson 7+1, Sedgmen 8+1, Castagna 5+1, Palm Toft 4, Grahn 8+1, Loftus 0 Like this: Like Related

TikTok fined millions for illegally sending users' data to China

TikTok has been fined €530m (£452m) because it was illegally sending user data to China, Ireland's privacy watchdog said on Friday. Ireland's Data Protection Commission found the social media app's data transfers to broke strict data privacy rules in the EU. It also fined the company for not being transparent with users about how their data was being processed. TikTok has been ordered to comply with the rules within six months. The Data Protection Commission is powerful lead regulator in the EU because TikTok's European headquarters are based in . "TikTok failed to verify, guarantee and demonstrate that the personal data of [European] users, remotely accessed by staff in China, was afforded a level of protection essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the EU," Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle said in a statement. TikTok plans to lodge an appeal and said the decision focused on a "select period" that ended in May 2023 and "does not reflect the safeguards now in place". It specifically referred to a data localisation enterprise called Project Clover which saw three new data centres built in Europe."The facts are that Project Clover has some of the most stringent data protections anywhere in the industry, including unprecedented independent oversight by NCC Group, a leading European cybersecurity firm," said Christine Grahn, TikTok's European head of public policy and government relations.

There have long been concerns, also voiced by US politicians, over how Chinese authorities could access and use that data. The watchdog said TikTok failed to address "potential access by Chinese authorities" to European users' personal data. Chinese laws justifying that access, on grounds like anti-terrorism, counter-espionage, cybersecurity and national intelligence, were identified as "materially diverging" from EU standards. Ms Grahn said TikTok has "has never received a request for European user data from the Chinese authorities, and has never provided European user data to them." Under the EU rules, known as the General Data Protection Regulation, European user data can only be transferred outside of the bloc if there are safeguards in place to ensure the same level of protection. Ms Grahn said TikTok was being "singled out" despite using the "same legal mechanisms" that thousands of other companies in Europe do. The investigation, which opened in September 2021, also found TikTok's privacy policy at the time did not name third countries, including China, where user data was transferred. The watchdog said the policy, which has since been updated, failed to explain that data processing involved "remote access to personal data stored in Singapore and the United States by personnel based in China".

Data privacy: Irish privacy watchdog hits TikTok with 530 mn euro fine

European Union privacy watchdogs fined TikTok 530 million euros ($600 million) on Friday after a four-year investigation found that the video sharing app's data transfers to China breached strict data privacy rules in the EU. Ireland's Data Protection Commission also sanctioned TikTok for not being transparent with users about where their personal data was being sent and it ordered the company to comply with the rules within six months. The Irish national watchdog serves as TikTok's lead data privacy regulator in the 27-nation EU because the company's European headquarters is based in Dublin. TikTok failed to verify, guarantee and demonstrate that the personal data of (European) users, remotely accessed by staff in China, was afforded a level of protection essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the EU, Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle said in a statement. TikTok said it disagreed with the decision and plans to appeal. The company said in a blog post that the decision focuses on a select period ending in May 2023, before it embarked on a data localisation project called Project Clover that involved building three data centres in Europe. The facts are that Project Clover has some of the most stringent data protections anywhere in the industry, including unprecedented independent oversight by NCC Group, a leading European cybersecurity firm," said Christine Grahn, TikTok's European head of public policy and government relations. The decision fails to fully consider these considerable data security measures. TikTok, whose parent company ByteDance is based in China, has been under scrutiny in Europe over how it handles personal information of its users amid concerns from Western officials that it poses a security risk over user data sent to China. In 2023, the Irish watchdog also fined the company hundreds of millions of euros in a separate child privacy investigation. The Irish watchdog said its investigation found that TikTok failed to address potential access by Chinese authorities to European users' personal data under Chinese laws on anti-terrorism, counter-espionage, cybersecurity and national intelligence that were identified as "materially diverging" from EU standards. Grahn said TikTok has has never received a request for European user data from the Chinese authorities, and has never provided European user data to them. Under the EU rules, known as the General Data Protection Regulation, European user data can only be transferred outside of the bloc if there are safeguards in place to ensure the same level of protection. Grahn said TikTok strongly disagreed with the Irish regulator's argument that it didn't carry out necessary assessments for data transfers, saying it sought advice from law firms and experts. She said TikTok was being singled out even though it uses the "same legal mechanisms" that thousands of other companies in Europe does and its approach is in line with EU rules. The investigation, which opened in September 2021, also found that TikTok's privacy policy at the time did not name third countries, including China, where user data was transferred. The watchdog said the policy, which has since been updated, failed to explain that data processing involved remote access to personal data stored in Singapore and the United States by personnel based in China. TikTok faces further scrutiny from the Irish regulator, which said that the company had provided inaccurate information to throughout the inquiry by saying that it didn't store European user data on Chinese servers. It wasn't until April that it informed the regulator that it discovered in February that some data had in fact been stored on Chinese servers. Doyle said that the watchdog is taking the recent developments very seriously" and considering what further regulatory action may be warranted.
