Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series

The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series is an award which has been given every year at the Daytime Emmys ceremony since 1974. As there are separate awards for acting, writing and directing, the award is generally given to the soap opera that excelled in all three of those categories. General Hospital has won this award 10 times, more than any other show.
