Soap fans will want to hit the Mable House amphitheater well before country singer Sara Evans‘ Aug. 8 appearance at the Mableton concert venue.
Starting at noon, ABC Daytime and SoapNet will present its first-ever Soap Nation tour at the amphitheater featuring actors from all of its daytime line-up.
So far on the confirmed list of soap celebs slid to Buzz Wednesday: legendary “All My Children” actor Darnell Williams (who was recently lured back to the soap to reprise his role of long presumed dead cop Jesse Hubbard) and his castmate Melissa Claire Egan who plays the deliciously nuts Annie Lavery. Actress Bree Williamson who plays baby-switching multiple personalities Jessica, Tess and Bess Buchanan on “One Life to Live will represent her show while actress Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) and Brandon Barash (Johnny Zacchara) are the “General Hospital” stars on the bill.
The free afternoon meet-and-greet with fans will be hosted by “General Hospital” breakout star Bradford Anderson who portrays mob computer whiz Damien Spinelli on the bullet-riddled daytime drama.
ABC reps tell us the summer Soap Nation tour is a way of reaching out to fans who once attended the late, lamented annual pilgrimage to Disney World for Super Soap Weekend in Orlando each fall.
For more info on the day-long event, soapnet.com.
Will you attend Soap Nation? Which of the participating stars would you most like Buzz Central to pursue an interview with? And can anyone explain the craazy popularity of Anderson’s unexpected breakout character Spinelli?

Interview suggestions? Brandon Barash. He does a lot of charity work and just visited with the folks at the MDA. Would love to hear more about his volunteer work. He’s also a rising star on the show.
Who else? Melissa Claire Egan. She’s a POWERHOUSE of an actress and talented in general. She can sing, dance, act. You name it, she’ll knock it out of the park.
Explain the popularity of Spinelli? Wish I could but I can’t. I hate the little Urkel. Love Bradford Anderson though. He rocks.

Spinelli is awesome!!! I have always loved his sceenes even from the begining in 2006. I also enjoy him with Maxie & I hope they can if not stay together in the romance sense than like Jason and Carly as Best freinds they rock the house when in their sceenes. BA and KS are the best!
