Is playing 'Carly' a good luck charm at Daytime Emmys?

The Daytime Emmys love a "Carly." This name has an unusually strong track record at these awards. To date, five women have earned a total of 15 nominations and six wins for playing a character by that name. And even those who failed to win for that role eventually claimed Emmys later in their career, so playing Carly, it seems, always pays off. -Insertgroups:12- Among the most successful actresses to take the name was Maura West. She debuted in the role of Carly Tenney on CBS's now defunct "As the World Turns" in 1995, and though she didn't earn her first Emmy bid until 2001, she was a perennial nominee after that, earning two nominations as a supporting actress and then five more as a lead. She won Best Actress twice (2007 and 2010). Crystal Chappell first played Carly Manning on NBC's "Days of Our Lives" from 1990 to 1993, but didn't get on Emmy's radar »
