Story summary

In June 2026, child actor Daveigh Chase passed away at age 35, with her death attributed to AIDS and chronic polysubstance use. Despite her significant roles in TV series like "Lilo & Stitch: The Series," "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," and "Charmed," she was notably absent from the In Memoriam segment of the Primetime Emmy Awards. Chase's manager, Johnny Ryan, criticized the Television Academy for this omission, calling it "awful."

Additionally, Nicholas Brendon, known for his role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and who died at age 54 in 2026, was also not included in the tribute. During the Emmy Awards ceremony, co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar acknowledged the challenging past two years for their cast without mentioning specific names but clearly referring to Brendon's passing along with that of Anthony Head.

The exclusion has raised questions about the Television Academy’s criteria and selection process for honoring deceased television industry figures.
