ABC Daytime is preparing to feature some major crossovers between its three daytime dramas, All My Children, General Hospital, and One Life to Live. These four minute mini-episodes will air online and on Soapnet and ABC. One Life to Live's executive producer, Frank Valentini, has been tasked with directing the special episodes. The episodes will be airing sometime in July.
Who Will Each ABC Soap Opera Character Be Encountering?
Here is a list of who the characters will be crossing paths with:
- All My Children's Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) will cross paths with with General Hospital's Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard)
- General Hospital's Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) will cross paths with One Life to Live's Viki Banks (Erika Slezak)
- All My Children’s Ryan Lavery (Cameron Mathison) will cross paths with General Hospital’s Carly Jacks (Laura Wright)
- All My Children's Greenlee Smythe (Rebecca Budig) will cross paths with General Hospital’s Jason Morgan (Steve Burton)
- One Life to Live's John McBain (Michael Easton) will cross paths with General Hospital’s Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco)
- One Life to Live's Todd Manning (Trevor St. John) will cross paths with General Hospital's Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)
- All My Children's Angie and Jesse Hubbard (Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams) will cross paths with One Life to Live's Starr Manning (Kristen Alderson)
- One Life to Live's Blair Cramer (Kassie DePaiva) will cross paths with All My Children's Tad Martin (Michael E. Knight)
- One Life to Live's Tess (Bree Williamson) will cross paths with General Hospital’s Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna)
- General Hospital’s Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) will cross paths with OLTL's Rex Balsom (John-Paul Lavoisier)
What Can Viewers Expect?
It is not yet known what the particular stories will be for the characters when they meet, though they will likely be humorous segments spotlighting the different personalities of the characters. For example, two daytime icons will meet when cosmetics executive Erica Kane encounters Sonny Corinthos, a mob boss. Will sparks fly between the two, or will there be an argument? Some of the crossovers seem like they would naturally be humorous, like the one with Todd Manning and Damian Spinelli. Those that watch General Hospital know Spinelli has a particular way of speaking, often referring to other characters with names like “Stone Cold,” “The Mob Prince,” “The Valkryie,” and “The Unhinged One.” Spinelli calls himself “The Jackal.” How Todd will react to that, and the possible name Spinelli might give him, should be interesting to see.
