Hubbard Byrne

Two-time Emmy winner Elizabeth Hubbard (ex-Lucinda, AS THE WORLD TURNS et al) has joined the cast of the web series ANACOSTIA in the role of Eva Montgomery. She will make her web series debut this fall in a role that was “custom made for her,” says series creator Anthony Anderson. “We are incredibly excited to have the amazing Elizabeth Hubbard join us for ANACOSTIA this year. It was so hard keeping such a huge secret from the loyal viewers of the series. Ms. Hubbard is a legend and is one of the true architects of daytime drama. This is a dream come true. The episodes are gripping and compelling and I am sure will be a treat for all of Ms. Hubbard’s fans to see her again doing what she loves, ” he adds. The casting reunites Hubbard with former Oakdale on-screen daughter, three-time Emmy Award winner Martha Byrne (ex-Lily). Byrne, who has appeared in ANACOSTIA since 2011 in the role of Alexis Jordan, wrote the story arc for Hubbard with Anderson, and will make her directorial debut in the scenes featuring the two actresses. "I've said it many times, Liz forever changed the course of my life with her willingness to treat me as a peer, even as a teenager,” Byrne notes. "To be able to write for her and guide her as a director is something I never thought possible in my career. Thanks to Anthony and Liz, I have another opportunity to work with one of the most influential people in my life. I can't wait for the fans to see what we have planned." Along with shooting ANACOSTIA with Hubbard, Martha is putting together a docustory about her life. "For years I've wanted to the world to see the Liz I've gotten to know throughout my life,” explains Byrne. "Her experiences in daytime are ones that everyone in our industry and beyond need to know. Who Liz is outside the world of soaps is filled with bravery, humanity, fearlessness and humor. Being a witness to her life, I'm a richer person for it and so are millions of others. I'm hoping our audience for this piece will learn more about Liz and walk away with a greater understanding of what drives her. She's amazing."
