Susan Lucci On ALL MY CHILDREN Lesbian Storyline: 'I Was Thrilled To Be Part Of It'

Appearing on Bravo's WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE on July 18, Susan Lucci was asked how she felt about Bianca's (Eden Riegel) coming out storyline on ALL MY CHILDREN.

“The storyline was presented to me by our executive producer at that time. She called me into her office and we both just sat there with tears because it sounded like it was going to be such a great storyline, and it was,” Lucci said. “She told me that a lot of gay kids, and even gays in their 20s, they would rather commit suicide than come out to their parents. And I thought to myself, 'Oh my God, if I can be part of a storyline here that would help one person feel good about themselves, and be who they really are, and know that their parents can love them anyway – they just have to be themselves. I was thrilled to be part of it.”

“That storyline really had a lot of impact, I'm very proud and happy to say,” she added.

Wanda Sykes was Andy Cohen's other guest that night.
