Soap Nation: iParticipate Additions!

Brandon Barash
ABC
Brandon Barash is just one of the GH stars slated to attend the "iParticipate" event in L.A. on October 24th!

We've been on pins and needles, waiting 'til we could announce the next FABULOUS event on the Soap Nation calendar -- and the day has finally arrived! Soap Nation and ABC Daytime have partnered up with City Year, the national youth service organization, for events in Los Angeles and New York!

 

As part of the Entertainment Industry Foundation's "iParticipate" volunteer initiative, stars from General Hospital, All My Children, and One Life to Live will take part in a day of service on Saturday, October 24th, to help beautify a local school in each city.

 

We've recently got some new additions to our awesome talent line-up! We are so excited for these events, and hope you are too.

 

So -- who'll be there, you may be asking? Well, we'll tell ya ... The GH stars set to attend in L.A. include Leslie Charleson (Monica), Brandon Barash (Johnny), Kelly Monaco (Sam), Kimberly McCullough (Robin), Jane Elliot (Tracy), Carolyn Hennesy (Diane), Kent King (Lainey), Lisa LoCicero (Olivia), Minae Noji (Kelly), Haley Pullos (Molly), Aaron Refvem (Morgan), Megan Ward (Kate), Lexi Ainsworth (Kristina), and Dominic Zamprogna (Dominic).

 

In the Big Apple, All My Children stars volunteering will be Melissa Claire Egan (Annie), Thorsten Kaye (Zach), JR Martinez (Brot), Cornelius Smith Jr. (Frankie), Chrishell Stause (Amanda), Adam Mayfield (Scott), and Denise Vasi (Randi). One Life to Live will be represented by Melissa Archer (Natalie), Daphnee Duplaix (Rachel), John Brotherton (Jared), Jason Tam (Markko), and Bree Williamson (Jessica). 

 

FYI: Talent is subject to change, but don't worry -- it'll be a fantastically fun group at both events ...

 

And here's a little background on why we're doing this, and who we're doing it with: The Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) will use its recently launched "iParticipate" initiative during the week of October 19th to mobilize the entire entertainment community into inspiring a whole new era of service across the country. Soap Nation is proud to join City Year in this quest; City Year is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping students and schools succeed with a focus on improving attendance, behavior, and coursework -- while also engaging community members in service events to improve educational, recreational, and residential facilities supporting youth and families.

See you there!

I like so many others much prefer Super Soap Weekend. I could see who I wanted to see all in one place, and enjoy Disney World too. I hope someone forwards all these comments to whoever ran this event.

I would have loved to go to LA that weekend to see KeMo (my favorite) and BB (hot!), but I'm heading to Chicago to see my boyfriend for my birthday weekend. I guess that's better, right?

Not that I could have afforded the LA trip, my one to Chicago is free.

Coincidentally, Bradford Anderson will be in my home city (actually only about 10 minutes away from where I live) that same weekend. I need more of these events, it's got to coincide with who I want to see and when somehow.

We certainly want SSW back. There is nothing like it.

I wish you would bring Super Soap Weekend back to Disney. Soap Nation is just boring. Why don't you take a poll and if Super Soap Weekend wins, bring it back to Disney. I will miss not getting to go to Disney this year to see my favorite soap stars.

I really miss supersoap. For 5 years my mother, who is now 73, my daughter and myself went to SS at Disney. It was a great 3 generation vacation for us. Please ABC bring it back!!! Soap Nation from what I understood was going to be held more often and in more cities. I don't think that has happened.

I miss Super Soap Weekend too. That was great mother/ daughter trip my mom and I took each year. It was a great way to get out with just us girls. The Soap Nation does not seem to have all the fun and games Super Soap did and not nearly as many stars.

whenever I click on the "sign up for the iparticipate event" it takes me to my profile??? How do I get to the actual sign up page??

general consensus is that we want SUPER SOAP WEEKEND BACK!!
Even the stars at SSW 2008 were shocked that it was the "last year" they begged the fans to complain and bring it back

Please bring this to Chicago!!!!!!!!!! Years ago GH would bring stars here every year, but that was over 10 years ago. Chicago is a huge city with tons of GH fans.....let's make this happen.
