Who’s appearing at Super Soap Weekend?
Kara and I are gearing up for our third Super Soap Weekend and we’re planning on blogging from there each day.
This incredible event, held Nov. 10 and 11 at Disney MGM Studios in Orlando, features fan interactions with actors and actresses from the three ABC soaps: All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital. But with only six weeks to go, the list of soap stars who are scheduled to attend has been trickling in at a snail’s pace.
And here’s the thing.
I seem to remember that a more complete list has been released earlier in past years.
So, I’m wondering…..What Gives?
And I’m not the only one wondering.
There’s plenty of chatter from cyberspace soap fans asking why so late with the list?
So far, the list is pretty short. As I write this, there were only five confirmed from GH, six from AMC and eight confirmed from OLTL. It may be updated as you’re reading this.
Two GH hunks - Steve Burton (Jason) and Greg Vaughan (Lucky) - have confirmed they will not attend this year.
The other thing noticeably missing: a lack of the longtime soap veterans.
The only one so far is Susan Lucci (Erica Kane) from AMC. Where’s Michael E. Knight (Tad) from AMC? He was there last year.
How about Erika Slezak (Viki) from OLTL? She was there last year.

Also, Disney has a SSW message board. Fans post confirmations on the boards that they have read on the various actors websites. Click here to check out the message board.
So stay tuned and bookmark this site for updates and the most up-to-date experiences from SSW 2007.
It’s my understanding that Disney has yet to release the “official” list. So, there are sure to be more stars to confirm. Just keep checking the SSW page.
For die-hard soap fans, this event is a must!
If you haven’t made your reservations yet, there’s still plenty of time.
But don’t take my word for it. Be there.
You may even find your evil twin!
