For 25 years, Oprah Winfrey has shared the daytime hours with cheaters, murderers, and celebrities -- and we're not talking about her guests. Now, the Queen of Daytime Talk Shows will pay homage to the soaps in an hour-long, soap opera tribute that encompasses everything from the wedding of super couple Luke and Laura to Erica Kane and her many husbands -- all eight of them.
Susan Lucci (Erica Kane, AMC) will give fans a private tour of her New York estate, and Oprah will bring Erica Kane face-to-face with her past husbands. This won't be the first time that Oprah has thrown Erica together in a room with her exes, though. In February 1991, Oprah devoted an entire hour to Erica and the men she'd loved before. In 1990, Oprah also entertained fans by inviting All My Children cast members to celebrate the soap's 20th anniversary.
Oprah viewers and soap fans had the chance to win guest tickets to the 2011 soap opera tribute event by submitting essays to the talk show's website about their love of daytime dramas.
Oprah's soap star spectacular airs Wednesday, February 9. Check your local listings for the time and channel in your area.
