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 loved when David caught Cara talking about NOT having a miscarriage.
Loving the new AMC. I really hope that they give Griffin something to do more than prop his sister. Griffin got the shaft from Kendall when the Zach came back to life (before the show was canceled) and now he is alone again. They could have brought back Madison and put her with Griffin. Maybe Jane or Cassandra will be his love interest. My guess is that the new Dr Anders will be for Cassandra though.
Maybe the new Colby could be Grif’s new love interest.
Another great episode!!!
After Cara lied about the miscarriage, David certainly won’t believe she had an abortion, even after he supposed it today! He won’t rest until he finds their child! 🙂
Is anyone else getting a little tired of Dixie’s hypocrisy? She wants everyone to forgive JR for Murdering Marissa and just forget that it ever happened and wants everyone to love him. Got mad at Adam for saying the truth and that is what he spoke the truth! Yet the father of the woman JR Murdered shot him went to prison for 5 years for it, and yet she believes and TELLS EVERYONE how David does not deserve to be out of Jail, Hey Dixie there is no statute of Limitations on Murder so Your boy should be charged with… Read more »
Maybe I misunderstood the scene. I thought David grabbed the gun, accidentally shot Marissa, then shot JR point blank. Am I wrong?
Yes, AMC showed that it was David who grabbed the gun and accidentally shot Marissa. That is why he went to prison for manslaughter.
I stopped watching AMC for good about 5-6 years before it went off ABC because most of the storylines were either boring or ridiculous and my heart just wasn’t in it anymore. But I decided to give the online reboot a shot and I’m hooked! Love it! It’s terrific so far and I can’t wait to see what happens next! It proves that ABC/Brian Frons et al had an agenda to sabotage the show, to drive viewers away and get rid of it. This show (and OLTL, plus other soaps) has a large, extremely loyal audience that will follow it… Read more »
The fact that Dixie got a phone call from Tad gives us a strong indication that (I think) as soon as Michael Knight is available he will be driving into Pine Valley as the one and only Tad Martin –
