From 2005-2011, the stars of ABC Daytime took the stage at New York City’s Town Hall one night each year for ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway Cares. The evening featured dynamic production numbers, heartfelt ballads and hilarious skits. Now, 10 years after that final performance, the iconic ABC Daytime actors revisit their performances as they help raise money for those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the event began in 2005. it was for a one-night benefit concert to celebrate All My Children’s 35th Anniversary. With overwhelming support from fans, the event continued for six more years and included cast members from One Life to Live, General Hospital and co-hosts of The View. Over its seven-year run, ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway Cares raised an incredible $1.85 million.
“This event is truly one of a kind,” Broadway Cares Executive Director Tom Viola said. “We are so thankful to the stars from ABC Daytime for joining us again as we relive moments from this delightful tradition, while helping to provide lifesaving medication, healthy meals and emergency support to those struggling during this ongoing pandemic.”
“It was such an incredible privilege and joy to join my fellow co-stars to perform in the seven ABC Daytime Salutes concerts to benefit Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS,” said former All My Children star Susan Lucci. “There are no fans like ABC Daytime fans. Their love and support continue to astonish us. We can’t wait to share these special performances with them and help raise money for so many in need during this difficult time.”
Lucci also shared her excitement on her Instagram account expressing: “We’re getting the fans and cast back together!!! Join us on Thursday, February 11 at 8pm for “ABC Daytime: Back on Broadway”—a fabulous online event revisiting seven years of singing, dancing and plot twists, featuring your favorite ABC Daytime stars. And it’s all to help Broadway Cares support our friends and neighbors who are struggling during this pandemic. Watch the stream at

wow – i was absolutely devastated when i heard the news of his passing………he was just so awesome in the craft that he loved so well – my thoughts and prayers are with his family & loved ones……………
tptb @ gh better not even try to do a recast because john ingle is edward quartermaine because he owns that role!
John Ingle was great and will be missed, but Mr Ingle wasn’t the first Edward. John Ingle replaced the late David Lewis, who had played Edward since the 70’s. As much as I loved and will miss John Ingle, it was actually David Lewis who truly “owned” that role.
David Lewis may have originated the role of Edward but John Ingle enhanced it with his charm til the end.
R I P John. You will be missed on General Hospital.
Thank you Michael for the wonderful article.
:”)
a lovely obituary for a lovely man. He will be missed
I am sooo sorry to hear that John Ingle has passed away on sunday. I had given my condolences and prayers and my thoughts to his famliy for his wifes passing. And I am now doing it for Mr.Ingle. My Thoughts and Prayers and Condolences are with the Ingle famliy and Friends and as well as the General Hospital Coworkers. Edward Quartermaine will never be the same and will be surely missed and so will John Ingle and General Hospital will never be the same. I remeber seeing him as Mickey Horton and how awesome he was and when he… Read more »
Very moving. Thank you, Michael for sharing this with us. I really appreciate how your site is not just about shock and awe, but about human nature and more touching posts.
What a loss, expected or not. We’ve been very lucky on daytime to have been able to pass so much time and see such wonderful performers for so many years, like John Ingle.
And before him, on GH, Anna Lee, John Beradino, and Rachel Ames, among others.
RIP and thanks for the memories.
I was saddened by the news and I will always remember his brilliant portrayal of Edward. I was so pleased that he was in the 9/11 episode. The image of his thumbs up is etched in my minds eye as he seemed to be saying soooooo much in that shot.
RIP. I enjoyed watching you on General Hospital. A true talent.
I loved Edward Quartermaine when on saw him on Sept 11 I new that would be the last time I would see him on the show.
to his family he was a wonderful actor and I am sure a great roel model. he will be missed by all
God Bless you and John rest in peace
wow…I cannot believe it, I loved him as Edward. I have been watching GH since I was 11. I am now 33. I loved that last episode, where he gave Emma the only dose of serum to live, the thumbs up and smile…didn’t know it would be the last time Edward would be on the show. I knew John was ill, but hoping he’d make it. You will be missed so deeply by us fans all over the world!
my daughter read somewhere there wasn’t a dry eye on the set the day he filmed his last scene because everyone knew he was dieing and wouldn’t be back. So many good year’s from this man. Now he is with his wife and probably happier than he has been for a long time.
A great man…a great loss. RIP Mr. Ingle
John Ingle will be missed so greatly. He was a wonderful highlight to the show and I looked forward to seeing him every day when I tuned into GH. He played the role of Edward in the same fashion as the late David Lewis. Thank you for this wonderful article Michael.
John I will miss u so much, I loved u on GH. Been a fan of yours and GH for a long time. My prayers going out to your family. R.I.P
I can’t believe I actually just found out that he died!!!! I have watched GH literally my whole life for over 46 years….. my mother used to watch it while she fed me my bottles when I was a baby and I just grew up watching it……… Edward will be greatly missed!!!
What can I say? John Ingle was a great actor and will surely be missed. I felt heart broken when I saw him in a wheelchair on the last episode of General Hospital that he was on. He left us with good memories of that unforgettable character Edward Quartermaine. May he rest in peace.
His Jamaican fans love an miss him dearly, only him alone could play the role of Edward Quatermaine, he was so amazing to us (fans). Such is life.
