It's true: soap opera stars go on vacation just like everyone else.
Below, thanks to Soapdom.com, a handful of daytime drama favorites tell us how they spent this summer traveling:
Kassie De Paiva (Blair, One Life to Live): My family is going to Italy in August - to Venice. And, Ive never been so Im really looking to have some nice wine and great food. Were staying for ten days and will be taking day trips all over northern Italy.
David Chisum (Miles, One Life to Live): Im going to see family in Atlanta.
Kate Linder (Esther, The Young and the Restless): I have no idea, since Im the celebrity spokesperson for ALS, and it takes up a great deal of time. My brother-in-law suffers from Lou Gerghigs Disease and I am out there trying to raise awareness.
Brandon Buddy (Cole, pictured, One Life to Live): Maybe go back home to Texas.
Rachel Melvin (Chelsea, Days of Our Lives): I never go on vacation. I take after my parents. Im actually moving and Im working quite a bit so Im not going to be able to go anywhere.
Gina Tognoni (Dinah, Guiding Light): We are actually leaving first thing in the morning for Riviera Maya, in Mexico, about 30 miles south of Cancun.
The following soap opera ratings were taken the week of September 4-8. As usual, The Young and the Restless leads the way...
Each ratings point equals 1,096,000 TV households. It looks to us like All My Children needs to pick it up!
