Walt should be there, unless he his busy….

Wonder if anyone can see it who does NOT get Hallmark channel.?

Might Hallmark be a home for classic soap reruns or a revival of one of the classic titles?

Good idea! Would be great to watch the reruns since Hallmark runs other reruns. If they could revive the classic titles would be good, but if not, if they could do periodic movies of AMC, OLTL (and other soaps), with the cast and related storylines of these shows. I know so much depends on rights of the shows, money, pulling the casts together (as many as they could get), etc., but Hallmark may want to think about it since there is such a loyal fan base.

I am so looking forward to it!

Let’s hope more good news on the way for a possible return of both AMC & OLTL

Yes, I still have hope.

I have just set my DVR to record these shows. It will be so great to see some of the old AMC gang. Just wish Michael Knight was going to be part of the program.

I can’t wait. I loved AMC and haven’t watched soaps since it went off.

Will definitely be on hand for February 2nd.

From your lips to God’s ears…..

I love Susan Lucci, she is a wonderful actress. I want to see Erica Kane on GH, that would be terrific. Too late to revive AMC and OLTL, ABC will not bring back AMC and OLTL, they will never admit there mistake.

I kicked the soap habit a long time ago, but became addicted again when Michael Knight
came to Y & R. I’m addicted again. I wish he would come back.
I hope I’m able to see the gang next week.

Looking forward to this. I’m from Brazil, Rio and AMC was the very first American soap I started watching.

Hi Silvio, I’m writing from Italy 🙂

Do you watch Globo/Record/Sbt’s novelas? Beside american soaps, I do love brazilians series 😉

My mother wishes that Dimitri Merick -who ever that was – would be on the guest list. She used to record All My Children just for him. Then when he left the show my mother stopped watching on a daily basis.

Wonderful! It’s a start. I would love to see All My Children have an ending (after 40+ years) of faithful viewing. ABC/Disney owes us this, but I would be happy with anyone providing an end to our wonderful soap. Still waiting!

Had my interest until the mention of Rebecca Budig-no thanks. I wish her annoying, obnoxious character (Hayden) would disappear from Port Charles.

I can’t wait to to watch Susan Lucci and, the rest of the All My Children cast I have missed watching All My children so much!!! 🙂

I can’t wait to see Susan host the show and I can’t wait to see some of the All My Children cast, wish they would all be there. I am still missing and mourning for the show. I watch Devious Maids just so I can see her, hoping that will be back on too.

It will be wonderful to see Susan and the AMC team but we need the real AMC back in our homes or at least Susan Lucci back on the screen. It is a tough world out there in respect to work but Susan deserves after her years of dedication and loyalty to ABC and the daytime genre – unlike others she always kept AMC first, she didn’t leave AMC even though she did other projects (she was the first to do tv movie of the week as a daytime star and actually score huge ratings even against her more famous night time stars). If anyone saw Devious Maids while she was not Erica Kane she was hillarious. Really good.

I missed the Feb. 2 Hallmark All My Children reunion. Will this be aired again?

Please air the Feb. 2, 2017 All My Children renunion again! I did not even know that this would be on the Hallmark Channel, or I would have recorded it on my DVR!

Carol Burnett Talks About Being a Superfan of ‘All My Children’ on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’

In a heartfelt reunion, of sorts, the one and only Carol Burnett appeared on Monday March 25th episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.

Burnett had first met Kelly Ripa (Hayley) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) back when they all appeared on All My Children together. Carol played Verla Grubbs first in 1983 and then again in the 90’s.

Host Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, AMC) noted to Burnett that “we go back a long time”. She also described Burnett’s character of Verla Grubbs, “extraordinary in every way.”

Carol’s love for All My Children is well-documented, hence legendary soap creator, Agnes Nixon, created the role of Verla for Burnett.

Speaking on how her passion for All My Children began, Carol told Kelly and Mark, “It started with my kids. They would watch at noon. I said, ‘What are you guys doing?’ I sat down and I started to watch and I got hooked!”

When Carol’s family decided to travel through Europe during one summer, the comedic legend recalled thinking, “How am I going to last if I don’t know what’s going on in Pine Valley?” She revealed she had a friend, “who sent me a telegram to the (different hotels) on Fridays to bring me up to date.”

In a hilarious moment from the segment, Carol recalled receiving a late night telegram while in Lake Cuomo when there was a knock at her hotel room door from the hotel manager who was shaking.

Carol related what it said, “Erica is still in a coma. Mark slipped again and ran away from rehab.” As Kelly and Mark broke into laughter, Burnett continued, “Chuck has learned that Donna is carrying his baby, who was once a hooker.”

Check out Carol explaining how she became an AMC Superfan below.

Now, let us know, did you enjoy Carol as Verla Grubbs? What show do you consider yourself a Superfan of? Tell us in the comment section.

Malachy McCourt, ‘Ryan’s Hope’ and ‘All My Children’ Actor, Dead at 92

If you watched Ryan’s Hope through its 14-year-run, you know that Kevin the bartender became a beloved “member’ of the Ryan clan on the defunct ABC daytime drama series. The character of Kevin MacGuiness became so loved by the fans because of the actor who portrayed him, Malachy McCourt.

Sadly, according to his wife Diana McCourt to The New York Times, Malachy passed away on Monday from a heart condition and battling cancer. The actor was 92-years-old.

Playing Kevin on Ryan’s Hope was not much of a stretch for McCourt, because in his lifetime, he was the owner of 1950s Irish pub Malachy’s on Third Avenue in Manhattan. Known as one of the city’s great story-tellers, patrons from longshoremen to the actor Richard Harris would stop in and talk all things Irish with . On Ryan’s Hope, Kevin was best friends to “Ryan’s Bar” owner, Johnny Ryan (Bernie Barrow) and he tried to keep Delia (Ilene Kristen) on the straight and narrow.

In his soap opera career, McCourt also was widely-known for his role of Father Clarence McCourt on All My Children especially come Christmastime. Was Clarence, actually St. Nick? That was always the proverbial question. McCourt also appeared on the New York soaps: One Life To Live, Search For Tomorrow and Another World. Other roles included: Devil’s Own, Brewster’s Millions, The Molly Maguires, and Starman, to name 

Later in 2006, Malachy ran for governor of the state of New York as a Green Party candidate. He tackled social issues of the time including being an advocate for gay and lesbian groups to march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

McCourt’s childhood was recounted within his brother Frank McCourt’s Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela’s Ashes, which detailed their mother’s attempt to raise the four of their surviving seven children in poverty in Limerick, Ireland. Later, Malachy wrote his own memoirs: 1998’s Monk Swimming, and 2000’s Singing My Him Song.

Malachy is survived by his aforementioned wife, Diana, daughter Siobhan McCourt; sons Malachy Jr., Conor and Cormac; stepdaughter Nina Galin; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson.

Share you remembrances and condolences for Malachy McCourt via the comment section, but first check out this scene from a 1983 episode of “Ryan’s Hope” featuring the late actor with Ilene Kristen.
