Eva LaRue Talks On Her Daytime Emmy Nomination, And Opens Up About The Loss Of John Callahan
For Eva LaRue, the past two months have been some of the most emotionally gut-wrenching and challenging of her life, following the passing of her ex-husband, father of her child, and dearest friend, John Callahan (Ex-Edmund, All My Children). The outpouring of support she has received not only from her former AMC cast mates, but the soap world in general illustrates just how dear Eva is to all of us, and how many people had special memories of their time with John.
While mourning the loss of Callahan along with their daughter, Kaya, there was some heartwarming and re-affirming news that any actress would love to hear. Eva was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in the Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series for her work as Celeste Rosales on CBS’ The Young and the Restless, and she is great company as her former AMC co-star Michael E. Knight (Ex-Tad) is also nominated along with her for his work on General Hospital.
The coronavirus pandemic has hit our country and world hard, but through it All My Children virtual reunions emerged as fans were engaged by the content, transported to happier times that brought them back to familiar faces in Pine Valley in which Eva participated along with her good friends, Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos and so many more, thanks to the EW. com weeklong event which concluded on Friday.
Michael Fairman TV talked with Eva in this very candid, at times heartbreaking, and open conversation where she shares details into the final days of her beloved John, her last moments with him, and how she tried to plan a memorial in his honor during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For so many of us, 2020 has certainly seen more lows then highs, but in the end for Eva, to receive a nomination now (an award she was last nominated for back in 1997 as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Dr Maria Santos on All My Children) couldn’t have come at a better time. Here now is our conversation with Eva.

I’ve been thinking so much about you. I’m glad we could do this, and in the midst of the tragedy of losing John Callahan, and then receiving a Daytime Emmy nomination. What was your reaction when you learned you were nominated in a category with none other than your former AMC castmate and good friend, Michael E. Knight (Ex-Tad, AMC, now Martin, GH)?
EVA: Oh, I know! He’s the first person I texted! I was like, “Congratulations, Michael! Did you ever in a million years think that you and I would be in the same category of anything?” Then I said, “And when you win this, can I just borrow it for the weekend just to dress it up and take pictures with it… just want to borrow it, just babysit the trophy for a weekend, please?” (Laughs)

What did you end up submitting that landed you the nomination for your role as Celeste on Y&R?
EVA: I submitted a scene with Peter Bergman (Jack, Y&R), who I have been friends for 30 years, if not more, and in all that time we had never worked together. I met him when I was married to John O’Hurley (Ex- Dr. James Grainger) because John was over at The Young and the Restless at the time. I went to a Christmas party with John to Peter and Mariellen’s house, and do you know who else was there? Lisa Rinna (Ex-Billie, Days), and it was before she had gotten Days of Our Lives. She was dating Peter Barton (Ex-Scott Grainger, Y&R) at the time. We both ended up on soaps at the same time. So, I submitted a scene with Peter, who is amazing, warm and open and such a great actor. Then I submitted a scene with my on-screen daughter Sasha Calle (Lola, Y&R) – I love that girl, and another one with Michelle Stafford (Phyllis, Y&R) who has also been my great friend for a couple of decades. The other scene I put on my reel was with me and Jordi Vilasuso (Rey, Y&R) who I also adore. He is awesome and such a sweetheart. I only had two months worth of material to draw upon. So, I just submitted the scenes that I liked the best, and they all were within story, and all made sense.

Where is Celeste supposed to be now?
EVA: She went back to Florida, and that was that. I would never say never to anything, but it was always supposed to be a short stint, and it was great.
So not only is it you and Michael E. Knight, but Jeffery Vincent Parise, Chrishell Stause, and Elissa Kapneck. This Guest Performer category is loaded!
EVA: I know! I know and love, Chrishell (Ex-Amanda) because we worked together on All My Children, too, right before I left, and she is a doll. She just might be the sweetest, kindest, girl on the planet. She literally might be the sweetest person who ever lived! I don’t know the other two nominees personally. So, I’m excited for them too. It’s such a diverse category. It’s just really fun to be nominated with all of them.

You were nominated before, though, for your work as Maria on All My Chldren during the emotional baby switch storyline; working opposite Susan Lucci (Ex-Erica) for a lot in it.
EVA: Yes. I was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for All My Children, and I was nominated for Best Original Song. I wrote a song when Maria came ‘back from the dead’ to All My Children, with a producer friend of mine from Miami Sound Machine.

So, you’ve been doing all of these All My Children virtual reunions, which is so interesting that in this pandemic, people are looking for content, and they dip back into these beloved shows. Was it fun doing the EW.com Santos Family reunion with everybody?
EVA: Oh yeah, it was really, really fun. I only saw in the big picture everybody else’s photo who was a part of it, and the people who I actually do hang out with the most, and see the most, and talk to the most, are Kelly Ripa (Ex-Hayley), Mark Consuelos (Ex-Mateo), and Sydney Penny (Ex-Julia). I don’t see Sydney as much, but I do see her probably once every two years at least, but Sarah Michelle Geller (ExKendall) I see all the time and talk to all the time. Kelly, Mark, and Sarah are the ones who walked me through that first week when John Callahan passed. They literally were on the phone with me, the three of them, almost every day, but I got beautiful outreach, from what seemed like everyone. This is when no matter how many years have passed since you have been in daytime, that the daytime family as a group – there used to be fifteen shows, now there are four – and people have bounced around and they are on other shows- – but the entire soap opera community reached out, I cannot even tell you how much that meant to me. It was overwhelming, and it was really, spectacularly beautiful.
Photo: JPI
I hope it was some solace to you knowing how much people loved John, and also that they love and care so deeply for you.
EVA: I mean, people who did not even work with John reached out. Every soap was represented by getting a hold of me, sending a text or a phone call, or if they didn’t have my personal information, they tweeted, or whatever it was… literally from every reach of soapdom. It was amazing.
And your relationship with John was amazing with all of the ups and downs you went through; that you remained such dear friends.
EVA: We remained really great friends all the way.
Photo: JPI
I so remember when the two of you first got together and it was this storybook real life soap couple romance. John was always so sweet to me. I was so, so sad, and you know, my heart just broke for you.
EVA: I think it was just such a shock. I don’t think anybody, and even Kaya were talking about it, because she graduated this week, and her dad is not here. We’re not having a graduation, because of COVID-19, which sucks on top of it, but we were just kind of talking through the feelings of it. She said, “You know what’s weird? I guess I never pictured dad getting old, and I always wondered why, and now I know.” When I would get on John about his heart or his health, he used to always say, ‘Oh, don’t worry Evala, (he always called me “Evala”). I’m going to be here. I’m going to be here a long time. I’m fine. I’m going to be here to walk Kaya down the aisle and see her kids and all that. Stop worrying,” Every time he said it to me, something in my gut said, “I don’t think he is. I don’t think he is,” but I always just dismissed that. But never in my wildest dreams did I think John wouldn’t make it to her high school graduation. He was only 66.
Photo: JPI
I had heard you ended up running to Palm Springs to be near John. I can’t even imagine what that must have been like.
EVA: The only good thing about this pandemic is that we had been shut down for only two weeks at that point. Kaya and I got in the car. John had some heart procedures the day before, on a Thursday. I called him in the morning before he went in for the procedure. I said, “Call me as soon as you get out of there. Call me as soon as you come-to again, and you’re good,” and he said, “Okay, I will.” I said, “I’m going to send Kaya out to you on Friday for the weekend, just so you have somebody to hang out and watch you, and I might come out too,” And then, I said, “Maybe, I’ll come down too in case you are feeling weak, just to watch out for you for the weekend.” So, he called me after the procedure. I said, “I cannot believe they sent you home! You just had some major heart stuff done.” He said, “Oh no, they said I’m fine. It was just run-of-the-mill heart stuff, angiogram…” I was like, “Are you sure?” He said, “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just tired. I’m going to go to sleep.” I said, “Do you want me to send Kaya out tonight?” and he was like, “No, no, no. Send her tomorrow.” So, in the morning, I called him at 9:00am. No answer. I texted him. He always texted me like Johnny on the spot, and then texts me immediately back. So, I call him again at 10. Nothing. His best friend calls me about a half-hour later, “Hey, I talked to John at about 8:00 this morning. He said he was feeling really, really shitty and was going to go back to the hospital, and then, I texted him again at like 8:30 to just tell him something, and he hasn’t texted me back, and he always texts me immediately back.” I said, “Oh my, God, I’ve been trying to get a hold of him for two hours; he hasn’t texted me back,” I said, “You know what, I’ll call you back.” So, I called his friend who lives down the street from John, and I said, “Go to his house, please right this second, knock on the door, jump the fence, knock on his bedroom, he might be asleep, I don’t know.” So, he gets there, nobody is answering. I said, “Break into the house please. So, he did, and John was collapsed in the bathroom. They called the paramedics, and as soon as they called me back and said, “John is unresponsive in the bathroom,” Kaya and I threw everything in the car, and what usually takes us two and a half hours without traffic, we made it down there from Los Angeles in an hour and forty-five minutes.
Photo: JPI
I don’t know how you made it down there in one piece. Thank, God!
EVA: I drove so fast, like literally broke all land speed records and thank God because we got there just in time. He was in emergency. He hadn’t been put up in ICU yet, where we wouldn’t have been able to see him. They weren’t going to let us in the hospital. Thank God the person answering the door was an All My Children fan. She was the one saying, “Sorry, no one is allowed in the hospital, no one can come in,” and I was like, “No, no, no, my ex-husband just came in.” She said, “Was it Edmund?” and I said, “Yes, it was Edmund!” She said, “Okay, follow me.” Thank God for All My Children. Thank God. So, we followed this woman secretly, and we get to spend a half-hour with him in Emergency. He was already on life-support, totally unresponsive, but we got to play John his favorite music, we got to just sit there and hold his hand and talk to him, and tell him how much we loved him. Sarah Michelle Gellar called right when we were in the hospital in Emergency, and she said, “Put the phone by his ear,” so I put the phone by his ear, and she talked to John too, and she told him how much she loved him. She used to always call him “GP”, which was short of grandpa, because she came on the show when she was 15, and she didn’t have a dad, and John acted like a dad to her – but she used to always call him “grandpa”, and he hated “grandpa”, so he was like, “You can call me “GP”, but not grandpa,” so she always called him GP. I just put the phone by John’s ear, and what was crazy is that when she talked to him, his feet started twitching. He started moving his feet. Then, when Kaya was talking to him about Yankee season, he started moving his feet. We were kind of hopeful that something was changing for the better. We had about a half-hour with him, and then, they took him up to ICU, and then, we knew we couldn’t see him again. They called us later that night that he had passed.
Photo: JPI
I am just so thankful that you got to see John one last time.
EVA: I thank God every day that we got to say goodbye, because if we hadn’t gotten there in time to say goodbye, I just don’t know.
It’s very rare that a couple after a divorce, who have a child, and went from romance to dear friends, end up maintaining that relationship so many years later in their lives. I know so many people who were together at one point in their lives, for years, and they don’t even talk to each other now.
EVA: Well, you know, like any divorce, the first four years afterwards were super contentious but then, by year five, we kind of had this major breakthrough, and from then on, he was one of my closest friends, and one of the things we always kept alive for each other was we loved to dance together. We fell in love, I think, dancing because originally our characters on AMC met at this country-western bar, and we had to take country line dancing lessons on the show. They hired a choreographer for us so that during those scenes where we were falling in love, we would actually be able to do a two-step! So, we went out and practiced at Denim and Diamonds, which was a big country-western place in New York City at the time. We used to go out with a whole group of us. It was me, and Teresa Blake (Ex-Gloria) and Kelly Ripa, and her boyfriend at the time, Winsor Harmon (Ex-Del), sometimes Walt Willey (Ex-Jack); we just had a whole crew of us who would go out country dancing. John and I also loved singing together. He had the most amazing gravely kind of rockstar voice, but his real talent was harmonizing. He could harmonize to anything. So, when he would come over, we would sit in the kitchen and sing, and sing, and sing until the late hours because that’s what we loved to do, and that’s what he loved to do. That’s one of my favorite last memories of us. He was just over the month before, and Kaya’s bedroom is near the kitchen, so she came out and was like, “Can you two shut up?” It was like two in the morning and we were still singing in the kitchen. (Laughs) John was my dear friend and my confidant.

Were you able to have some kind of service during this stay-at-home pandemic we are all dealing with, in order to mourn the loss of John?
EVA: It’s been so crazy. We couldn’t even have a funeral. That’s what made it all the more heartbreaking. There were less than twenty of us, and we just got on a Zoom call and memorialized John. I thought we were going to do a big Zoom memorial, but it seemed so overwhelming and so impersonal, it just was rubbing us wrong in every way. Every way we were looking at it, we were like, “Oh my, God, we just can’t.” We wanted to invite everybody he had ever worked with, and we were like, “No, we want to do that when everything can open back up again, and invite every person, and have a party” because John was always the life of every party. Maybe we can do that in the fall or next year. I kept trying to write something for the small memorial we did do for three days. I kept coming back to this one song, because John was always the consummate bartender, too. I sang a song that Bette Midler sang on the very last episode of Johnny Carson. It was “One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)” and it’s about a bartender who has got a big personality and a lot to say. I changed some of the words around a bit just to reflect who John was, and so, I ended up singing for it instead of speaking. We always talked about that last episode of Carson; how stunningly emotional it was when Bette sang that song to kind of sing Johnny off for of all of his years on the air. So, that’s what I did and because we loved to sing together, it just made sense.

I do think you touched upon something, earlier, too. I don’t think any other genre would have that kind of unbridled camaraderie. It’s such a family, like you said. I don’t think you would find that quite like this; certainly in show business.
EVA: I really don’t think you can. Even though there is always a good amount of competition in the soaps as well; between the soaps it’s like they are any sports team, but there is always a level of respect, love, and familial connection within the community. I think that is why they have stood the test of time. I really do think that is what hooks our audience, that is what keeps them there after all of these years, even though unfortunately the genre is antiquated looking, there is something about it that is nostalgic, familial, and comfortable for people.
Photo: JPI
Every time I talk about All My Children, why do you think everybody go ga-ga for it, when it’s been off the air for several years now?
EVA: It speaks to people’s childhoods. It speaks to how we grew up. You can’t undo nostalgia. You can’t. It’s in the way we grew up, the things we loved, the things that we scheduled our lives around, the people we fell in love with on the shows that we watched, who we cared about and loved their storylines. I grew up watching All My Children, General Hospital, and Days of Our Lives.
It must have been a spectacular moment for you when you realized you were actually in Pine Valley and a member of the cast of All My Children then?
EVA: It was amazing. I was a fan when I got the show. I was a straight up fan. I fangirled walking through that dressing room hallway for the first time! I was trying to keep it in check, but you know … (Laughs)
Photo: JPI
So, in closing, you would say, “Thrilled to be nominated”?
EVA: Yes. So fun. It has really been a rollercoaster of a couple of months here. That nomination was literally the bright, shining spot in all of this.
So, happy to hear Eva is in the running for a Daytime Emmy? Were you moved by Eva’s sentiments she shared on her relationship with the late John Callahan? Do you miss Pine Valley’s Dr. Maria Santos? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Where is GREG VAUGHN!?
bzbourbon
October 29, 2012 at 11:32 am
I guess since he’s not airing yet, he wasn’t “eligible.” But I’m gonna say it’s a safe bet, priest or not, that he’ll be on next year’s list.
bzbourbon
October 29, 2012 at 11:34 am
Should have looked at the article first. Plenty of former and/or future soap star picks (Alicia Mishew, Nadia Bjorlin)…so clearly the pickers are either blind or too young to remember Greg on GH and Y&R!

Steve Burton was may more sexier than anyone listed,we hate to see him go !!!! But if he is going to be replaced my vote is for Zack Slater from AMC !!! He plays the same type of role (or played one) !!!

I co-sign this 100%. No other soap pairing comes close! They are the best, I’m still waiting for my TNT reunion on GH.

Where is Michelle Stafford?! The woman oozes sex appeal.
And what about Billy Miller? I would pick him over Daniel Goddard only because his CHARACTER is a lot sexier than boring old Cane.

Blake Berris? I don’t think so. I’d replace him with Freddie Smith.

Freddie Smith is very cute, but for some reason I’ve always been attracted to Blake Berris’ nerdy cuteness. I have a soft spot for nerds. I like smart guys and bad boys. Luckily I outgrew my affinitey for bad boys in real life long ago.

Almost an embarrassment of riches! Too many to choose from. Non-soap watchers have NO IDEA what they are missing! My personal picks:
Male: Roger Howarth or Trevor St. John
Female: Bree Wlliamson or Melissa Archer
But, the list goes on, & on of beautiful, sexy, talented soap stars. I’ve always thought Nadia Bjorlin & Galen Gehring are too beautiful to be human. Lol.

Girl please, Alison Sweeney is the Anti Sexy. She is not hot no way no how. I’d pick Nadia Bjorlin, Ari Zucker, Eileen Davidson, and Kristian Alfonso over her any day. As for the men I’ve always been partial to Bryan Dattilo, the man is damn sexy. Galen, Eric, and Peter are all super sexy too.
As for GH, I vote for Dominic Zamprogna, Julie Marie Berman, and Kelly Monaco.

the usual from hollywood. brainwashing the public again to define physical attractiveness standards as being white bec majority of these actors are white. the progressive limo liberals of hollywood left love to trash america’s strength and influence around the planet and its colonialist past. yet colonialism is alive bec of hollywood. this colonial mentality of beauty being defined as white is being force fed by hollywood to its foreign consumers bec hollywood’s racist. they do not want to give acting opportunities to racial minorities. it’s hilarious how they scream abt diversity and tolerance when they’re the most intolerant to racial diversity. how pathetic that soaps still don’t have Asian american leading men and women and lack hispanic and Asian american core families. yet hollywood loves to preach abt tolerance from their bully pulpits yet their products love trashing racial minorities by brainwashing the public to believing that looking white is what’s considered as ideal.

I’d have to go with James Scott, with Chandler Massey a close second, but where were Freddie Smith and Chad Duell?

Stephen Nichols (Tucker, YR) and Bryan Datillo (Lucas, DOOL) should have been at the top of the hot soap man list! I have never seen a hotter man on soaps than Stephen Nichols! Bryan Datillo comes close. I’m glad Steve Burton (Jason, GH) made their list.

I agree with most of the women, but…
Most of the men would never make it to MY list!
There were so many hotter men to choose from!

October 30, 2012 at 6:53 am
Ummm… hello TV Guide? Where in the hell is MARCO DAPPER on this list?!! They have to be completely insane for that omission! Dapper is the hottest guy in soaps and needs to be in a great storyline!
Winona
October 30, 2012 at 1:01 pm
Good point, kalamaty. Talk about an oversight!

Who is Marco Dapper?

Marco Dapper plays the role of Carmine Basco on Y&R.

I would, for once, just like to see Jacqueline MacInnes Wood without all the caked on makeup. While she is beautiful, we can never really see the natural beauty or the beauty that lies within LESS makeup like Kim Matula or Linsey Godfrey.
I don’t agree with the Y&R omissions of Michelle Stafford, Billy Miller, Tracy E. Bregman. Heck, even Jennifer Landon. Christian LeBlanc is sexy too. So is Elizabeth Hendrickson. Since Melody Thomas Scott lost 50 pounds she has looked more amazing than ever!
As for GH, what about Laura Wright? Finola Hughes? Tristan Rogers?
Kassie DePaiva is older, but still pretty darn sexy.
Zack Conroy was really sexy with his OLD haircut, now not so much. 🙁
While Sharon Case plays a woman who cannot live without a man and has a beautiful, fit body, her face and neck are aging from too much sun damage (just like Cameron Diaz). I, personally, find older woman sexier than her.
Melissa Claire Egan is pretty, but her character on Y&R is not as sexy as she was on AMC.
Are they judging character or actor? I’m confused because some of the pictures were from their work while others were posed or publicity.

Kelly Monaco and Steve Burton. Always!!

Chandler Massey is at the top of the list MO. Renee Jones should be here. She’s in her 50s, but looks like she’s thirty!

Steve Burton and Laura Wright. Love their acting, their characters, they are gorgeous and best of all they are beautiful inside, while being sexy, interesting and good family people that you would love to know and spend time with.

Without a doubt it’s Kim Matula who plays Hope on B&B. There are a few other cool people on the list, but it’s pretty ho-hum overall.
Vjcurlytop
November 12, 2012 at 9:33 pm
You are so right! That list is a little inflated too with people who aren’t even on a soap or right now. Weird.
I voted for Kim as well. Hope is beautiful and the best character on B&B right now. Why is she being cheated out of screen time anyway? Liam & Steffy are a complete dud! The show couldn’t be more boring right now.
BELL STOP FORCING STEAM DOWN OUT THROATS!

I think it is her easygoing, authentic personality that makes Kim so appealing. JMW just tries too hard to “build her brand” and it comes off as fake. Oh how I miss the sweet love story of Hope and Liam, and the chemistry between KM and SC. Liam and Steffy are a mismatch, the chemistry is forced. They are impossible to watch, and are ruining the other storylines for me.
