To be eligible for the Outstanding Digital Daytime Drama Series category, programming was required to be "continuous, episodic works of dramatic fiction from over-the-air, cable, satellite and internet broadcasters" which have more than three but less than 35 original episodes; 35 episodes was the minimum required for the main [[Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series]] category. The award recognized producers, directors, and writers credited on a minimum of 19 percent of total episodes first aired in the applicable year.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://cdn.emmyonline.org/day_43rd_category_submission_guide.pdf |journal=43rd Annual Daytime 2015–2016 Emmy Awards by Category Submission Guide |title=Digital Daytime Drama Series |page=5 |publisher=National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences |date=January 27, 2016 |access-date=February 14, 2017 |archive-date=March 22, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322192920/http://cdn.emmyonline.org/day_43rd_category_submission_guide.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> The performer categories applied to actresses and actors who appeared in these series.<ref>{{cite journal |journal=43rd Annual Daytime 2015–2016 Emmy Awards by Category Submission Guide |title=Actress/Actor in a Digital Daytime Drama Series |pages=36–37 |publisher=NATAS |date=January 27, 2016}}</ref> The Digital Daytime Drama Series and related performer awards were typically awarded as part of the [[Creative Arts Emmy Award]]s ceremony, a separate presentation of awards which included recognition of technical and craft categories.
In December 2021, the ATAS and the NATAS announced a major realignment of the Daytime and [[Primetime Emmy Award]] ceremonies. Other than daytime serial dramas (as defined as an episodic, multi-camera drama serial that airs on a weekday basis, or a reboot or spin-off of such a series) or children's programming (which will move to the new [[Children's & Family Emmy Awards]]), all categories for scripted comedies and dramas will now fall under Primetime Emmys, regardless of scheduling.<ref>{{Cite web|first=Libby|last=Hill|title=Television Academies Announce Overhaul of Primetime and Daytime Emmy Award Categories|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2021/12/tv-academy-natas-overhaul-primetime-emmys-daytime-categories-1234685438/|date=December 14, 2021|website=IndieWire|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211214160842/https://www.indiewire.com/2021/12/tv-academy-natas-overhaul-primetime-emmys-daytime-categories-1234685438/ |archive-date=December 14, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>

* '''No award''' <ref group=note>In 2018, [[Patrika Darbo]] initially won in this category for her performance as Mickey Walker on Amazon's ''[[The Bay (web series)|The Bay The Series]]''. The award was revoked and vacated after it was determined that Darbo appeared in a prior season of ''The Bay'' and entered scenes from multiple episodes for judging, both violations of the TV Academy's submission guidelines. An award was not given to runner-up [[Jennifer Bassey]], portraying Beverly Newman on YouTube series ''[[Anacostia (web series)|Anacostia]]'', because she too submitted scenes from multiple episodes. [[Thomas Calabro]], nominated for his role as Arthur Tobin on ''The Bay'', also had his nomination in this category rescinded for appearing in a prior season.</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Maloney|first1=Michael|url=https://variety.com/2018/tv/awards/natas-revokes-patrika-darbo-daytime-emmy-exclusive-1202827832/|title=''The Bay'' Star Patrika Darbo's Emmy Revoked Over Submission Error|work=Variety |date=June 1, 2018 |access-date=June 1, 2018}}</ref>
