Susan Lucci News

Susan Lucci has been eliminated from Dancing with the Stars.

And while it seemed to be the appropriate time for the soap opera star to go home, a pair of contestants are sad to see her go.

"It sucks!" Lance Bass told us of Lucci's dismissal. "She really did become close to us. She was the one who was so positive, she had the hardest schedule to keep, and I respect everything that she did."

Added Cody Linley: "This was so nerve-wracking! It was either me or Susan going home, and I was thinking, ‘I don't want to go home, but I don't want to see my friend go home either!' So it's sad to see another part of the family go home."

Susan Lucci is current residing in the world of Tony Dovolani, as this tandem attempts to win Dancing with the Stars.

But Dovolani recently spent a day on the set of Lucci's home, as he filmed a scene for an October 27 episode of All My Children.

In the episode, Erica Kane (Lucci) is injured in a deadly tornado that hits Pine Valley. She's trapped in a tunnel, rescued and taken to a local emergency room. Dovolani plays a fellow ER patient who suffered a broken leg in the tornado. Check him out:

With over 20 Daytime Emmy Award nominations, Susan Lucci is the unquestionale queen of daytime television.

But will the All My Children star be crowned the winner of this season's Dancing with the Stars?

The soap opera actress, who will be teamed with professional Tony Dovolani, does have one thing going for her: advice from co-star Cameron Mathison, who impressed viewers on season five.

"Cameron has been so generous with his time and his insights," said Lucci. "I really feel it's going to be a life experience."
