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

GOOD FOR HIM!!!!!’
I love josh, good for him for standing up for himself. i love his wife as well. both of them are talented. radar online is bs.
I don’t know how reliable ROL is…or isn’t…but I’m glad Josh is calling them on their bullshit. Maybe if some of these “stars” who have false stories written about them would start taking these publications to court, they would stop the slander.
Who cares…to much serious stuff going on in the world to bother with this.
wow, you sound very miserable. lol. why? bother to comment, if you dont care.
This was an error…it was actually meant for a different topic which i misplaced here(thought it was a different subject)…i was on the phone at the time with my doctors office while reading these…by the way i am misreable but not for the reason you may think! I have the flu and was in bed typing this! I happened to like Fergie!!! Didnt realize it was a mistake until i couldnt find it where i originally thought i had typed it!!! No big deal!!!
Jimh(leave it to beaver hope you feel better soon
I just have a funny Josh Duhamel story to relay. In 2001, I was a VIP guest of the late, lamented Soap Opera Weekly magazine at the Daytime Emmys at Radio City Music Hall. Being a VIP guest entitled me to use the same backstage washrooms as the actors and press. I was walking to the washroom, and Josh was ahead of me. He was clearly quite intoxicated, and he walked right past the mens bathroom and walked into the women’s. A couple seconds later he came scurrying out. He patted me on the shoulder and said “I totally went… Read more »
And if TMZ or Radar Online had been around back then, they would had photos of him entering a women’s washroom and reported he was sexual pervert trying to get a glimpse of some ladies parts or maybe a secret transsexual. And that is the trouble with gossip sites, they can take the most innocent situation and turn into something vile.
Exactly Mary!! And thats why I posted a funny but true story about him to show that not all people who asssociate with these poeple are out for blood!
lol. too funny. josh is one hot hot man. too bad, he is not gay. fergie is one lucky lady. thats ok, my boyfriend is goodlooking too lol.
Too bad?? I am glad he is not gay. He is from North Dakota where gay is as foreign as normal is in Hollywood!
Radar online is nothing more then gossip site . They posted on Y&R . if Sony /Cbs placed a gag order on Muhney mouth. Then why are the rest of the cast still giving interviews. I was told by a fellow Muhney fan on twitter. that all the hate tweets are from a single individual using multiple / new and old twitter account uggh. to harass the actors from the series.
While Josh has his silly moments (I knew him in college, he worked with my sister at Applebee’s & he entertained my kids the whole evening we were there), he’s a very serious person who loves his wife, their son and the things they do. He’s VERY proud of Fergie and her career (heck, he was enthralled with her singing before he met her onset of Las Vegas, where he asked her out & they’ve been together since), and there’s no way he’d come between her and the guys in “The Peas.” He knows each has their own dream of… Read more »
IF he said anything like that, it was in support of Fergie and NOT a slam at The Peas. And I applaud him for believing in and supporting his wife. IF he did not say anything like that, then I applaud him for standing up for himself.
Seriously, he is a nice guy with a good heart according to all who know him. Shut the F up tmz!
He did right speak up for his wife Radar online lies just like Tmz
