I Wanna Be A Soap Star

With Diane Sawyer moving from Good Morning, America to World News Tonight, ABC is reportedly hunting around for just the right person to become the new GMA host. The names bandied about include George Stephanopoulos, Bill Weir, Chris Cuomo, David Muir and Cameron Mathison. I am telling you right now, Cameron Mathison would be perfect for Good Morning, America.

While the other men mentioned are all involved in news, Cameron is on All My Children. He's an actor. But he's also an attractive performer and an ABC talent on the rise. He was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, and even though he didn't win, he won over a lot of non-soap viewers who'd never seen him before.

Who wants to be a soap star? Well, apparently quite a few people. Casting auditions for the third season of SoapNet's I Wanna Be A Soap Star have been underway in major cities like New York and Chicago, and people from all walks of life have been trying out for the series, the winner of which will be given a thirteen-week contract to appear on the popular ABC soap opera One Life To Live. Despite this being the third season, I hadn't even heard of this show until recently. Of course, I'm also not an avid soap opera watcher, so it's not as if a show like this would have been on my radar, anyway. If any of you have seen it, I'd love to hear your take on it. Is it a worthy "guilty pleasure" or something I should avoid? The new season begins this Thursday at 11 p.m. EST.
