Days of our Lives star Peggy McCay (Caroline Brady) called her Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress terrific. “It feels validating, appreciating and [I] am excited to see what happens.”

As for what she chose for her Emmy reel, McCay tells us it was easy. “It was the scenes with Peter Reckell, who played my son, in dealing with the Alzheimer’s. I felt they gave the fullest treatment of my story.”
