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

I still think he shouldve played a recast Chad…unless Ben and Jordan turn out to be Eve’s children or get this story moving Days may no longer be my no.1 soap!!!
Same with the return of John Black who felt more like a day player…what was the point!!!
Hi jimh, I think the new Ben looks more like Jordan, which is good because they are Eve’s twin sons! The story could be slow because of the subject matter. The stalled talks with Charlotte Ross before settling with Kassie DePaiva could have slowed things down too. I think things are looking up! If I’m right, who would you like the father(s) of the “twins” to be: Frankie and or Jack or someone different?
Forever Days:Frankie should be the father…if the show goes that way!
4everDAYS did Eve have twin boys? I hope that they are related to Eve but was Jeanie/Teresa born when Eve was still on the show? If so then the ages don’t match up for Jordan. Maybe Ben is Eve’s son but Jordan is older and her step daughter.
It’s funny, looking at his photo, I thought it was the actor who played Chad. I hope he brings some excitement to the boring Jordan, Rafe, Ben “mystery” storyline.
BTripp, It has never been mentioned that Eve had children. Jeanie/Theresa is Eve’s half sister. The ages of Jordan and Ben have not been revealed.
Age doesn’t matter on this show.KDP(Eve)is only 7 years younger than Charles Shaugnessy(Shane Donovan),her father.LOL!!!
Days is lucky to get him!! I love days!!!!
Sorry to see Rob go! But his calling is acting God speed. This will get others to see him more days
Hopefully and possibly more of him too. LOL
Sincerely, Joe
Surprised CBS let him get away—- but trust me NBC and DAYS will have him Shirtless in Salem in no time, which I suspect is the main reason for switching Ben, this guy has better ABS LOL.
LOL…. i’m certain.. he’ll be featured nonetheless… I do have to agree : with the actor… who portrays, Nathan… on GH he is far and away the winner in this category… and in hindsight… or full on headlights… should be Oye! thank Goodness… Britt and Nathan… are : safe Levi… is a little out there… and it’s not his doing… but… he reminds me of done over.. Bruce Jenner… all the national enquirer.. speculation.. that he’s in the TRANS – for – mation mode… fits this actor to a T off track: but… doesn’t Levi ring true… on a comparative…… Read more »
I love rob, he is a cutie. LOL. I loved him on All My Children. Best of luck Rob, I will be watching you on Days of our Lives.
I would watch him read the phone book.
Yes me too. LOL. He is one sexy dude, BUT MT BOYFRIEND IS EVEN HOTTER. LOL.
I meant my boyfriend LOL
Hopefully he will have some interesting lines on the show as the character Ben – so far, Ben has been kind of an uninteresting role.
I did watch Rob’s last appearance on the Price is Right today & I’m gonna miss him cause he’s such a natural on there….I’m a DAYS fan & can’t wait to see him play Ben…GOOD LUCK Rob on your new gig at DAYS but I will miss seeing your 🙂 face on the Price is Right <3
I loved Rob as Pete on AMC. Great to have him on Days . Ladies get your spritzer bottle out cuz when he takes off his shirt it’s gonna be a heat wave:)
The Pic above : is the first masculine pic i’ve seen of… so… he’d better deliver
How to be an Actor on a Soap Opera:
1.) Know your lines
2.) Look good with your shirt off
3.) Master that inquisitive look as the scene fades to commercial
4.) Look good with your shirt off
5.) Polish your teeth
6.) Practice that “sincere” look
7.) Look good with your shirt off
Rob, I’m so glad you are going to Days of our Lives, i’ve been watching that all my life and my mother even longer,, can not wait to see you, you little darling,, good luck,, Diana
