On Sunday, June 7, soap veterans Marcy Walker and A Martinez, who portrayed the iconic supercouple Eden Capwell and Cruz Castillo on “Santa Barbara,” will reunite during an exclusive global livestream hosted by Melissa Braverman, author of the upcoming book “Santa Barbara: The Complete Story.”
The special two-hour virtual event, dubbed “A Martinez and Marcy Walker: In Conversation,” will begin at 4:00 p.m. ET and feature the actors recalling favorite memories from the beloved daytime drama series and offering behind-the-scenes insights into some of the show’s most famous location shoots and dramatic storylines.
“A Martinez and Marcy Walker didn’t just play a couple. They created a cultural phenomenon that resonated across continents,” said Braverman. “This event is a rare opportunity for fans to hear directly from A and Marcy about their chemistry, their favorite storylines, and the lasting impact of the show’s unique storytelling.”
As Eden and Cruz on the much-missed NBC daytime drama series, Walker and Martinez transformed a fictional romance into a cultural sensation that garnered unparalleled international attention, which remains relevant more than three decades later.
Currently starring in AMC’s “Dark Winds,” Martinez won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series in 1990 for his portrayal of Cruz and has since starred in several other soap operas, including “General Hospital,” “One Life to Live,” “Days of our Lives,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Bay.” His primetime credits also include “L.A. Law,” “For the People,” “Longmire” and “Queen of the South,” among others.
After “Santa Barbara,” Walker reprised her role as Liza Colby on “All My Children.” She won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series in 1989 for her portrayal on the ABC soap opera.
“A and Marcy’s partnership as Cruz and Eden was unforgettable,” says Braverman. “Bringing them together for a dedicated conversation about their SB journey is a true event, and a testament to their enduring appeal and the sheer popularity of the characters they created.”
Tickets to the event cost $100 per person, and ticket holders can submit questions for the actors to answer during the livestream up to 48 hours before the event begins. Questions can be submitted via the event’s official Facebook page, though only the host will be able to ask them, as video and audio will be automatically muted for ticket holders throughout the event.
