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

He and Elizabeth would make a great couple…however, i did see a look in Maxi’s eye that says’Spinneli who?’…lol
Sometimes i wonder if some of this is a publicity stunt…just saying!!!
I have a feeling this guy wont be at GH long term…he’s got that movie star aura about him…so enjoy him in PC while you can
He is a future movie star…
I doubt this is a publicity stunt. Ryan will get plenty of attention on GH. He is gorgeous and you are prolly right…. Ryan is a great prospect for Hollywood. Let’s enjoy a year of his acting and hopefully he will be ready for offers to star in some romantic movies.
He also kinda reminds me of the late Paul Walker…imo
I agree about him having “movie star” looks. I actually checked him out online to see where he’s been all this time ( he is 29 yrs old) and of course he’s been modeling since high school with some film credit Birds of a Feather (2011) and The Girl with the Gloves (2011). I guess you never know who is going to really make it on the “big” screen. The first time I saw Josh Duhamel on AMC I just knew he was the next big film star, and while he’s done quite a bit of work since leaving AMC,… Read more »
That is the first thing I thought too. he looks exactly like Paul! Hair color change is about it. Oh yes, PW had blue eyes. He would have been a great candidate to portray him for the last F&F. But he was already involved in GH I suppose.
it’s that black hair and blue eyes thing GOING ON
and on and on
and, SO – ON –
I thought so too. Maybe they should have had him take over for Paul Walker.
I think it is sad when that happen’s. This morning on twitter. “soap central .com” I clicked on 2013 people of the year & it took my whole computer down. A Virus!! I was so mad! I needed a computer tec come in and get it out.
I don’t tweet but my heart started twittering as soon as I saw Ryan’s debut on GH. I had to actively tell my heart to be still. Yes indeed. I haven’t felt like that about a new male actor in ages. For the short amount of time he appeared, I think he is definitely bringing some acting skills to the table, and so far has noticeably good chemistry with Maxie. ( something to look forward to after she eats, prays and finds love back in PC).
Awww! Your comment made me smile.
I had to laugh when he had a towel scene within a couple days of his debut! He’s super-super-hot. Seems like he can act, too, but I have to admit to being mesmerized a bit too much to be objective!
I am completely not objective when an actor with his presence makes my body go crazy!
And I was glad to have received a response LOL!
I did follow the fake twitter account. Then things took a strange twist with another follower and it seemed very childish and crazy.. then woke today and found it was a fake.. just seems sad to me that someone would be that crazy and desperate..
I too was a victim of the fake Ryan Paevey twitter account. I definitely can not wait to start following the real Mr. Paevey’s tweets. It’s just sad to see that certain people have nothing better to do but pretend to be someone else.
Damn! I knew when he followed me it was too good to be true!
The person behind the impersonating Ryan account, their name is Holly. They were casting the blame off on a Brianna girl as well as soapfan31 but Holly has been a long time stalker of both of them. The way she was desperately trying to pass the blame onto those 2 made it obvious that it was HollysHere behind it and no one else.
Signs of a sick mind???
The scene from Fridays show where Anna vets him was amazing.
I hope they don’t pair him with any of those women already on the show! Please hire some fresh face beauty. Those women have been around and around and around and……
