You Can't Mess With a Classic: Opal

Jill Larson (Opal Cortlandt) continues to steal the scene every time the writers invite her to make her all to rare cameos. Today, we saw shades of the classic Opal: a dark determined maven, hidden behind a comedic facade. She lured Sam Woods in with her southern hick charm, and went for the kill when the topic turned to his blossoming relationship with best gal pal Erica Kane.

Let's hope the new regime continues to utilize Larson and her acumen for the dramatics. In a perfect world, by year's end Larson will be back on Contract with the other show veterans where she belongs.

Watch CNBC's behind the scenes video of Warren Buffett's appearance on All My Children. The video features some great banter between the Omaha billionaire and our Daytime's greatest writer, Ms. Agnes Nixon.

As if People in Pine Valley Could be Any Richer

Warren Buffett makes an appearance on All My Children on May 9. Opal Cortlandt (Jill Larson) accompanies Buffett to visit Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) in prison.

This is Buffett's second appearance on All My Children. He first met Erica on screen when he interrupted her meeting with then ABC CEO Tom Murphy in 1991. He would make a second cameo in 1992.

Creator Agnes Nixon allegedly first invited Buffett because she was a fan of his witty annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders.

UPDATE: Buffet played a reel of his appearence this weekend at the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting. Not that's what we call synergy.
