A handful of stars from your favorite ABC soap operas recently came together to celebrate Super Soap Weekend in Florida.

Here are a few photos from the event:

Alicia Minshew looks happy to answer questions from fans of All My Children.

Bree Williamson poses with a One Life to Live admirer.

A pair of General Hospital veterans: Jason Thompson and Kimberly McCullough.

Thaao Penghlis has appeared on General Hospital and, now, Days of Our Lives.

With that in mind, take a look at a few random facts about the actor:

• A film buff since the age of five, Penghlis used to sell beer bottles gathered from the streets of Sydney to earn money to buy movie tickets.

• Upon moving to New York, Penghlis joined Australia's mission at the United Nations.

• While working for designer Robert Meledandri, Penghlis and company did suits for Robert Redford and producer Robert Evans.

• He has climbed to the summit of Mt. Sinai.

• He taught Kelly LeBrock how to dance for a sequence in their 2007 film, The Mirror.

Congratulations are in order for Gina Tognoni.

During the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, the Guiding Light star surprised co-workers with the announcement. She appeared alongside Mandy Bruno and Marcy Rylan, stating that she had just become engaged to her longtime boyfriend.

We don't know the lucky gentleman's full name, but Tognoni did say she'd be changing her last name to Chiarillo. So there's a large hint. The actress also revealed that her boyfriend popped the question to her the night before Thanksgiving, as she flashed a ring for all to see.

We wish her all the best.

Soap Opera Digest caught up with Susan Lucci during the recent Super Soap Weekend in Florida. Here's an excerpt of what the All My Children star had to say.

On the State of All My Children (and Jack and Erica):
"I really wish there were more of the balance. Just as an audience member, I like to see the show when there's a balance between the drama and the fun. It doesn't have to be in [the Kane/Montgomery] storyline. But let's see the whole canvas, you know, not just one portion 90 percent of the time.

I don't think it's great entertainment. The show is better than that. And with the Erica character, I think she's not being fully represented, where just a few months ago, they had Erica and Jack's NEW DIVORCE and that was very modern thinking and very thinking out of the box. Every time they do something like that, the audience is so happy and responds so well and then it's dropped!

The other thing is, I thought it was so relatable: There was Jack and Erica having a better time together, trying to keep their relationship together and put the spark back in because they had been dragged down by their children's problems, which is very relatable.

I think a lot of people lose sight of the fact of why they got married because they get bogged down in the day-to-day and it's also relatable because there are so many combined families out there."

Marnie Schulenburg started on The Young and the Restless. Then, after appearing on the online series LA Diaries, the actress made the transition to As the World Turns.

Here are highlights of the interview CBS conducted with the rising star:

CBS.com: How has it been at As the World Turns?
MARNIE SCHULENBURG: It's been amazing. It's been so much fun, an amazing experience and everyone is so nice. A dream come true.

CBS.com: Did you get this role right out of college?
MARNIE SCHULENBURG: Pretty much. I graduated in May [2006] and I had a job in the summer at the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival and then moved to New York in September.

CBS.com: Did working on LA Diaries help you get into the role of Alison?
MARNIE SCHULENBURG: Yes. It explained a lot. It was easier for me to know what Alison was talking about or where she was coming from and acting the way she was because there was that underlining subtext that had happened to her that nobody in the town of Oakdale knew about. She obviously is not the same person who left and doing LA Diaries taught me why.

CBS.com: Tell us about Alison.
MARNIE SCHULENBURG" Alison is a really good-hearted, loving person. She's very loyal; her heart is in the right place. [She] tries to put family first when she's in the right state of mind. She tends to follow guys when she's in love with them and ends up not making the best choices.

I think all the Stewart women sort of have bad taste in men. Weather it is right or wrong they tend to do whatever the guy is doing to make them happy. They are survivors. It's just how they survive, and it's usu
