Five Things That Happened On July 10 In Soap History

In 2006, Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea, Young and Restless) made her All My Children debut as Annie Novak. But she had actually appeared on the show years prior. The actress told Soap Opera Digest in 2007, "I wasn’t a child actor. But I grew up in Westchester, an hour outside of the city, and I would audition every once in awhile and booked some things. I had auditioned for the young Bianca, like a year before – didn’t get it, obviously [Gina Gallagher did] — and had watched the show as a kid, like, ‘Oh, that’s the one I auditioned for!’ So I was excited about it. I totally remember sitting in the green room with all the other extras – and now, my dressing room is right across the hall. It’s just so funny how things come full circle.”
