Dedicated fans also will have the opportunity for one-on-one virtual meet-and-greets with their favorite soap stars on Saturday, February 13. Further information on tickets and the lineup of special guests will be announced later this month.
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

What a sweet photo! Congrats Teresa!
Congrats, I hope Sabrina ends with Michael and more story time. She’s a great actress and I want her to have a powerful story line.
I will be happy to see her return and hope she finds Michael or somebody other than that skank Carlos for a baby daddy!
I am so happy for Teresa and glad she is back at GH. As far as Sabrina goes, does anyone else besides me think it might be time for her cousin Juan to pop back in for a visit to give Sabrina some advice or a shoulder to cry on? How about if Felix steps up to the plate to help Sabrina raise her baby? He needs something to do too.
Congratulations Teresa! We know you are over the moon.
Blessing, Teresa! Looking forward to your return; without Carlos….lol.
Thats Carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlos!
Lol, Timmm. I actually like Jeffrey, the actor. And, if Carlos were to return, he should call Sabrina, Sabrina, not Savrrrriiina, and she should call him, Carlos. No, seriously…just kidding. Jeffrey is one of the best. I wish he could be cast as an ok guy; cut his hair etc. I love grey temples on a man…..very distinguished. If TPTB could only redeem him, I’d be fine with him coming back. I’ve always liked Sabrina, except for the last few months where she tried to deceive Michael. But, I did admire the fact that she fessed up and confessed to… Read more »
luvin me some Carlos! 😉
Teresa’s life has changed, CONGRATS!
I have said before the best thing to do with Carlos is kill him off AND bring him back clean shaven, a nice haircut and be the nice brother that we never heard of, Cartini!
PS: All you little sweeties LOVE Sabrina now that she is a mommy! Ha, ha, ha! In real life, for sure, congrats, but on the show, forgetaboutit!
Not so, Timmmy. I have liked Sabrina since day one ( my day one…lol). I was disappointed lately…..but, she may well restore my faith in her. Just as with Nina. Many posters are not ‘taken’ by her, to say the least. I suppose it is a matter likes and dislikes. Soon….Luv-ya.
…..watching paint dry in the rain forest…..good one, Timmmbo. Love the visuals.
I’m just playing with you CeeCee! I did like Sabrina when she first came on. [Ugly Betty] But then she just became boring to me. Her and Michael are like watching paint dry in the rain forest!
Congratulations on your new son….enjoy
I read that she’ll be gone from Port Charles for – 4 – months !!! I just hope that in the interim… did I hear Anna right ? when she was talking with Jordan? if Carlos was alive and they can get him to turn states evidence against Paul Hornsby? would Anna really go their ? knowing it was Carlos who killed Duke ? it’ll probably be a plea deal to a lesser charge ? ! ? ! perhaps Anna can let this go… because she thought she murdered Carlos… aside from fans seeing Carlos as a skank… (LOL) and… Read more »
Congrats on ur baby boy
If I remember correctly Anna wants Carlos to testify against Julian not Paul since he was the one that ordered the hit on Duke. I don’t think Anna has figured out yet that Paul is the head of a new crime “family” in town– she is going after the Jeromes and thinks Paul is on their payroll– and that Paul killed Sloan, but she doesn’t know the bigger picture yet about Paul H– right now she is just trying to get Julian for killing Duke.
Yes, of course, Mary! That’s it exactly. I had forgotten. Anna thinks that Julian, Carlos and Paul are working in concert, yes? But Julian has no clue about Paul. And, although Ava is doing the hanky-panky with Paul, (yucky…disgusto) I do not think she is privy to his double dealings, or the extend of his agenda, power and mob-affiliation. I wonder if Anna thinks Julian is aware of Carlos’s whereabouts. Obviously, she isn’t supposed to know he’s alive. So, she can’t even question him or anyone, for that matter. At this point, as far as we know, Paul is working… Read more »
Want to see Anna and Scopio bring Paul and gunrunners down, down, down. In the meantime hope they also find who shot Sonny as a bonus. And as bad as they can be, I hope there can be a way to keep Carlos and Ava. Really like the actors. And who knows when Ava finally gets the connect between Paul/guns and protecting Avery…maybe she could bump into Carlos on The Pier (where all bad guys can bump into each other) and re-new their previous “friendship” to help get Paul out of the way. There’s an advantage to both of them.… Read more »
“Thank You” Rose
Carlos and Sabrina.
I really like the actors as well. YES
I just like the diversity and to mix Port Charles up….
I had to think about that ….
we have Jordan and TJ ; w/Curtis; w/Felix
we have Olivia and Dante
and we have Brad
so…..
whats another two MORE strong presence
fun intriguing acts….
wow… GH has more people of color… than all the other 3 combined
PS: I liked it when Carlos and Ava were friends… renew that.. and join forces
I forgot about Mayor Lomax and head nurse Epiphany
Kudos ! to GH
??? surprising margin… if you think about the other 3 serial
so… I can’t play that hand
Do you really care who shot, Sonny, Rose? Maybe it was his namesake, Sonny Corleone, come alive! He has been on Cassadine Island abed, somnambulating …..frozen in time…..
I do agree about Ava and Carlos. Such a waste of talent if they should be let go.
HI Rose…I thought Paul shot Sonny! Either it’s been established, I’m psychic or…wrong. I do seem to remember that though…
Rebecca & CeeCee…I don’t remember Paul being responsible for shooting, but I could have missed it since he is involved with the gun-runners. And CeeCee, I ‘m not a great fan of Sonny most of the time, but figure we have to keep Su happy! 🙂
HI TERESA, WISHING YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR LITTLE GIRL ON THE LOVING YOUR LITTLE BOY. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND TAKE IT EASY AND WHEN YOU CAN COME BACKT TO GH, WE’LL ALL BE WAITING FOR YOU. LOVE YOU TERESA, AND TAKE A WONDERFUL TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY. JUST LET US KNOW WHAT YOUR SON’S NAME IS. LOVE YOU AND STAY WELL.
Congratulations Teresa! And, welcome little one!
Looking forward to your return to GH Teresa…
Wonderful news. Now sister, Victoria, has a little brother she can grow up with. Look forward to see you back in Port Charles, but in the meantime savour this time with your family.
I am so prod for you ,I miss seeing you , but I am so proud that your baby is here, I wish you and Michael would get back together after your maternity live again concretions to you and the baby
Congratulations on you new baby!!! Best wishes!!!
Blessings for you and your family
Congratulations so happy for you and your husband enjoy him they grow so fast be happy to see you back on general hospital soon
YAWN>>> Why oh why is this boring creature returning?
Please, let her gallop back to the land of rainbow waterfalls and unicorns.
She is a BORE!
congrats to Teresa and her family! As for the character of Sabrina; I like her! Not every female soap character has to be raving, conniving witch to be interesting. However, as we’ve gotten to know Sabrina, its hard to swallow that she would’ve run off with thug Carlos during the late stages of pregnancy.
Congratulations on your new baby see you when you turn to general hospital
God bless you and your new baby boy.Miss you and will be glad to see you soon.
