The show has won five times, all in the last 20 years: twice for Susan Flannery as Lang’s longtime on-screen nemesis Stephanie Forrester (2000, 2002), twice for Heather Tom as Lang’s sister Katie Logan (2012-2013) and once for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood as Lang’s daughter’s romantic rival Steffy Forrester (2019).

People in Lang’s orbit keep winning, but victory has eluded her (and Tom is nominated alongside her again this year). But the Emmys have made it up to long under-rewarded actors before. Doug Davidson didn’t win Best Actor for “The Young and the Restless” until 2013, at which point he had been on the show for 35 years.

James Reynolds finally won Best Actor for “Days of Our Lives” in 2018, which was 37 years after he first joined the show in 1981. And who could forget Susan Lucci, who was a perennial Best Actress nominee for “All My Children” but didn’t win until her 19th try in 1999. So Lang could very well get her due — better late than never.

The Bold and the Beautiful (BB) airs weekdays on CBS.
