With the ABC version of “One Life to Live” now a thing of the past, and with it airing only 9 episodes during the 2012 eligibility year, one would think that the show would not have received any Daytime Emmy Award love. While the show only received 3 nominations for its ABC incarnation, 3 noms is just great!

The categories (and nominees) the show received nominations for are:

Outstanding Drama Series

• Frank Valentini, Executive Producer
• Suzanne Flynn, Senior Producer
• Jackie Van Belle, Coordinating Producer
• John Tumino and Leah Weber, Producers

Outstanding Drama Series Writing Team

• Ron Carlivati, Head Writer
• Lorraine Broderick, Breakdown Writer
• Anna Cascio and Chris Van Etten, Associate Head Writers
• Elizabeth Page, Jean Passanante, Melissa Salmons, Scott Sickles, and Courtney Simon, Script Writers
• Daniel J. O’Connor, Break Down Writer & Script Writer
• Katherine Schock, Script Editor

Outstanding Achievement in Multiple Camera Editing for a Drama Series

• Tracy Casper Lang, Teresa Cicala, Michael Sweeney, Barry Gingold, Larry Farina, Stephen Cali, and Vince Catania, Editors
