There will be a parade and other fun events for those in attendance.

The appearances are from 1 p.m. - 4p.m.

Not every is aware that Walt Willey has been on All My Children for years, even before he landed his current lead role of Jackson Montgomery.

For example, the actor played the part of Palmer’s butler, along with other bit characters here and there.

It's only been in the past five years, though, that Willey says he's felt comfortable and happy on All My Children.

He doesn’t characterize any period as particularly “hard,” but rather, “just harder. Maybe I would have made different decisions, but this has always been a wonderful studio in which to work and wonderful people with whom to work.”

And that includes Susan Lucci, of course, with whom he's pictured in the accompanying photo.

In the end, Willey knows he's in the right place.

“If I wasn’t supposed to be here, I wouldn’t be here, and I’m really lucky to be here. That’s not for press only; we all grouse about this, that and the other thing, but I really like this place.”

Looking ahead, here are a few One Life to Live spoilers for the week...

Monday, October 8: Todd does to Marcie and Michael to suggest a shared custody agreement with Tommy; In need of answers, Dorian questions Starr about Langston.

Tuesday, October 9: The judge awards full custody to Todd; Michael says a tearful farewell to Tommy; Dorian (Robin Strasser) reaches out to Langston; Timbaland performs!

Wednesday, October 10: After losing the aforementioned custody, Marcie escapes with Tommy. This doesn't sit well with Todd.

Thursday, October 11: Michael (Nathaniel Marston) and John both make a plea for Marcie to return home; Nora makes her decision about her future with Matthew.

Friday, October 12: Marcie turns to Ron for assistance. Todd vows to get his son back; Nora and Clint grow closer.

Megan Ward is 5’6” tall. It's not so short for a woman... but the General Hospital star often feels like a midget when compared with her leading man, Maurice Benard.

“A lot of times, Maurice puts his hand on his hip and slouches down so he can look into my eyes," Ward recently said to Soap Opera Digest. "Then, I stand awfully straight and proud like, ‘You’re not going to get to me.’ All of a sudden, I look taller!”

Meanwhile, if Ward had her own magazine column, she wouldn’t go the route of her alter-ego and dish on fashion to her readers. Instead, the actress would focus on her online habit: YouTube.

The General Hospital star and her friends go to the site often. How come? Because it has “[e]verything you could possibly imagine” she says.

It's hard to argue with that.

Here are a few Guiding Light spoilers for the week ahead....

• Reva (Kim Zimmer) is grateful when Jeffrey helps cover up her crime.

• Harley decides it's time to bring Cyrus in.

• Cassie and Josh (Robert Newman, pictured) come to a crossroads in their relationship.

• Daisy (Bonnie Dennison) prepares to tell Rafe the truth.

Don't worry, One Life to Live fans. One of your favorite actors isn't going anywhere.

Despite speculation that Michael Easton is leaving the soap opera this fall, the actor said he's staying put, at least for now.

"I appreciate everyone's concern but it's unwarranted," he posted on his website, www.michael-easton.com. "Although it's not good policy to talk about contracts, I will tell you mine isn't even up in 2007 and I feel very fortunate to be working at ABC Daytime."

Coming up this week on As the World Turns...

• Lily (Martha Byrne) and Holden get devastating news about Luke.

• Carly asks for one last kiss and Jack obliges.
