Lucci Loses Emmy for 14th Time : Television: She’s beat out of best actress honors by ‘Another World’s’ Linda Dano. CBS’ ‘Young and Restless’ wins the best drama series award.

Yes, Susan Lucci lost for the 14th time. But Luke and Laura are back!

Lucci, who has played the tempestuous Erica Kane on ABC’s “All My Children” for 23 years, lost the Emmy Award for best daytime actress Wednesday night to Linda Dano, who stars as Felicia Gallant on NBC’s “Another World.”

Lucci, who has never won despite 14 nominations but usually steals the show anyway, was upstaged at the 20th annual ceremony by the surprise announcement that the most popular soap couple in history will be returning.

Genie Francis and Anthony Geary will be reunited as Laura Baldwin and Luke Spencer on ABC’s “General Hospital” this fall. The characters’ 1981 wedding remains the most-watched event in the history of daytime soaps.

“I felt it was time to go back,” said Francis, who most recently played Ceara on “All My Children.” She left “General Hospital” in 1984. Geary, who will reprise his role as Luke, now plays Luke’s cousin Bill Eckert on “General Hospital.”

As for Lucci--who has made a second career of her perennial losses, including self-mocking commercials for artificial sweeteners--she said backstage that she was “disappointed, certainly. I would have loved to have won.”

Asked what it will take for her to win, she responded: “When you find out you tell me.”

She vowed not to abandon her alter ego, despite her successful forays into TV movies. “Erica Kane really has my heart,” she said. “I can’t walk away from her.”

“The Young and the Restless” on CBS was named best drama series, defeating last year’s winner, “All My Children.”

David Canary from “All My Children” won as best lead actor for playing twin brothers Adam and Stuart Chandler. It was his fourth daytime Emmy, the most ever won by an individual.

Oprah Winfrey won for the third time as best talk-show host, and her show won two other Emmys this year, including technical awards presented in Los Angeles May 22.

Including the previously announced technical awards, CBS stars and shows received a total of 19 awards. PBS got nine, ABC seven and NBC three. Seven winners were syndicated. The Fox network won three.

Douglas Marland, a soap opera writer who died recently, was honored with a posthumous lifetime achievement award. Marland, former head writer for “As the World Turns” and co-creator of “Loving,” began his writing career in the 1970s at “Another World.”

Winners were selected by members of the Los Angeles-based Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the New York-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The awards covered the period from March 6, 1992, to Feb. 5, 1993.
