Which supporting actress nominee was cited for playing Mariah Copeland in 2026?

The 2026 supporting actress nominee cited for playing Mariah Copeland is Camryn Grimes.

Grimes plays Mariah Copeland on CBS’s long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless. Mariah is the daughter of Sharon Newman and was introduced as a child character before being aged and recast; Grimes began portraying the adult version in 2014. The character’s stories have included questions of identity, family, romance, parenthood, and mental-health struggles.

The nomination is in the Daytime Emmy category for Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress. The official listing identifies Grimes “as Mariah Copeland” and places her alongside nominees including Linsey Godfrey, Beth Maitland, Trisha Mann-Grant, and Amanda Setton.

A common mix-up is confusing Grimes with Beth Maitland, another Young and the Restless nominee. Maitland plays Traci Abbott, a different character from the Abbott family. Grimes is also a past Daytime Emmy winner, having received recognition earlier in her career for playing Cassie Newman.
