‘The Masked Singer’ Runner-up, Ex- AMC’s Jesse McCartney, Recalls Working With David Canary
If you caught the finale of The Masked Singer this week, you know that “The Turtle” was revealed to be none other than former All My Children star and recording artist, Jesse McCartney.
While McCartney came in as the runner-up, losing out to Kandi Burress, he spoke to Digital Journal about his latest single, “Friends’ and recalled his time working with the one and only David Canary (Ex-Stuart/Adam) on the now defunct ABC daytime drama series.
As a young JR Chandler from 1998-2001, that put him sharing on-screen time with Canary, who played his father. Jesse remembers all of the lines of dialogue thrown at him at a young age was not fun.
When speaking of his time with Canary, McCartney shared: “He was one of the sweetest guys on the planet and he was such a kind soul. He played my father, Adam Chandler, and not only was he the star of the show but he played his own twin brother, Stuart. He had double the lines of any character on the show, and in my three years on the show, he never messed up a line even once. There was a time when David helped me when I was having a moment and I struggled with remembering my lines, so as a result, the soap world for me is very sentimental.”
So, do you remember when Jesse and David were in Pine Valley together? Share your memories via the comment section below.

I am a huge fan of Erika Slezak and I have been a fan of One Life to Live since 1988! Erika looks amazing in both photos! I am excited to see that she is participating in the Hulu Upfronts as well as promoting OLTL on tv programs and in online and magazine interviews. I wish great success to Prospect Park’s online versions of OLTL & AMC!
This is wonderful. I am so happy that Hulu is truly on board in supporting our shows. This is the future of entertainment and I extremely glad that Prospect Park has put OLTL and AMC at the forefront.
Love Hulu !!! They listen to what the viewers want… and want to watch, hense the return of our beloved AMC & OLTL.
I have been watching shows on Hulu for years and love what they are doing!!! Especially like when they have whole seasons of shows on Hulu and not just on Hulu Plus. Love that Erika is participating and the photos are great!!!
Hulu is anytime for all shows not just daytime! They really should use that more in their marketing anytime and pretty much anywhere! Love Hulu!!! and Love Erika!!!
Hulu is going to replace broadcast TV. I love that OLTL is a piece of this. Really shows a broad range of programming and age groups.
I am very impressed with Hulu, and am so thankful for them and Prospect Park and TOLN for giving me back my soap. I love the pictures of Erika with Eva and St. Slaughter, very nice and I love that PP is using Erika to promote them and the shows.
I’m freaking out! I love WWE and OLTL, so seeing Sgt. Slaughter and Erika in a picture together. I’m freaking out!
LOL, me too! I’ve been a lifelong fan of soaps & professional wrestling. 2 of my favorite things together is just too cool. Wish I had been there.
Same 🙂 It really is awesome! And me too 😀
I’m loving Hulu. I’m sure I’ll watch more shows on there now that I’m watching the soaps via Hulu. My daughter has been a Hulu viewer for years and I never gave it much thought until now. So happy to have my shows back!
