ALL MY CHILDREN alum Eva La Rue (ex-Maria) is the host of a new Saturday morning series on the CW, CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL’S ANIMAL TALES, premiering on January 5. “I was so excited when they asked me to be involved because not only do I love animals — I currently have two dogs — but I’ve been wanting to do a project that’s uplifting and positive,” enthuses La Rue. “It’s a great show and it’s been a great experience so far!”
