As previously announced, "All My Children" co-stars Bobbie Eakes, NatAlie Hall and Chrishell Stause and "General Hospital's" Bradford Anderson and Brandon Barash will star in the ABC Daytime and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center benefit performances of Kander & Ebb's award-winning musical revue, "The World Goes ‘Round." The performances will be held on October 7, 9 and 10 at the Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theatre, and net proceeds will raise much needed funds for its Jeffrey Goodman Special Care Clinic.

The three show engagement will feature hosts from "All My Children," Cameron Mathison on Thursday, October 7th, Christina Bennett Lind on Saturday, October 9th and Walt Willey on Sunday, October 10th. Each host will welcome the audience, take questions and offer exclusive storyline previews for future episodes of "All My Children," "General Hospital" and "One Life to Live!" (hosts are subject to change).

In addition to playing the fan favorite role of Ryan Lavery on "All My Children," Cameron Mathison appeared on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and is currently a correspondent for "Good Morning America." Christina Bennet Lind recently joined the cast of "All My Children" in the role of Bianca Montgomery, daytime televisions first long term lesbian character and daughter of Erica Kane (Susan Lucci). Walt Willey plays the role of fan favorite, Jackson Montgomery and holds the distinguished title of becoming Erica Kane's 10th husband. Being Bianca, uncle and now father figure, his character also played a pivotal role when Bianca came out to her family and friends.

ABC Daytime has a long standing history and commitment to telling stories that represent the honest portrayal of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people on their television shows. Their groundbreaking "All My Children" storyline featured Erica Kane's daughter, Bianca, as the first longstanding character to come out on daytime television.
