New York (PRWEB) April 30, 2005

The Mother’s Days issue of Soap Opera Digest (Cover Date: May 10 – Newsstands May 3) features photos and breaking news about some of soaps’ most popular actresses who are mothers in real life.

The new mommies “Baby Love” feature includes West Coast based Alison Sweeney (Days of Our Lives), Rebecca Herbst (General Hospital), Lindsay Hartley (Passions) and East Coast based, Terri Colombino (As The World Turns).

Soap Opera Digest asks how these working moms handled working through their pregnancies, breast-feeding, losing their baby weight and their best “Mom” moments. “They used everything from potted plants to menus to shopping bags (to hide Sweeney’s pregnancy).”

More in the Mother’s Day issue - “Stage Moms” looks at how star mothers feel about their children following them into the business. Kim Zimmer’s (Guiding Light) whose son, Jake Weary is now on As The World Turns and Jeanne Cooper’s (The Young and The Restless) son, Corbin Bernsen (formerly L.A. Law – currently General Hospital) who is getting ready to release a film, their latest project together.

“Single Mom Sensation” features photos and a candid interview with All My Children’s Eva La Rue, who shares parenting of a three-year-old daughter with her former co-star, and soon-to-be ex-husband, John Callahan. “It’s been a stormy year for Eva La Rue, on and off AMC, but the future’s looking bright.”

“Meet The Parents” looks at The Young and The Restless’ Don Diamont’s life with fiancée and former co-star, Cindy Ambuehl who together have six children ages 4-13; twin boys plus four sons from a previous marriage. Cindy talks about staying sane living with seven boys – eight if you include Don!

“It’s fun to hear about the glamour of a soap star’s life but if you read Digest enough, you know that actors’ lives are a lot more like yours and mine than not, at least when it comes to the important things. And nothing is more important than family,” says Lynn Leahey, Editorial Director, Soap Opera Digest.

This year Soap Opera Digest celebrates 30 years as America’s most popular magazine devoted to soaps.
