An MVP worth checking out!

I am covering a Daytime Emmys pre-party tonight and tomorrow will be on the red carpet at the Kodak Theatre and backstage during the show. OIh yeah, there's a swanky post-show party two that I'm hoping to spend some time at.

So who do you think I'll be looking for? Barbara Walters? Cameron Mathison? Van Hansis? Okay, I'd stop and chat up any one of them but my biggest prize would be the star of the new SoapNET series "MVP." His name is Dillon Casey and he was introduced to America recently with this image on a 60 foot billboard in Times Square.

ABC, which owns SoapNET, is trying to give the series some big-time sampling by airing it at 10 p.m. tomorrow night right after the Daytime Emmys.

"My friends are saying 'Let's go to New York,'" a sheepish Dillon -- who lives in Toronto -- told SoapNET.com. "But I think it might be kind of lame to go stand under my own billboard and point at it."

The actor, who plays a hockey player on the show, has a master's degree to go along with those abs.
