As many have heard now through various soap publications and online platforms, it is Vincent Irizarry’s nefarious Dr. David Hayward, who gets “killed” in the whodunit/murder mystery plans from new AMC head writers, David Kreizman and Donna Swajeski. And while this Daytime Emmy winner’s departure from the show was a well-kept secret and had been touted as the “death of a main character” on the show, there are some conflicting reports emerging that may cast doubt if Vincent is: truly gone from Pine Valley, if it’s temporary, or if something else is in the works.
Last evening on his official facebook page, Rachel Anderson, who runs the page for Vincent posted this statement to his fan base! “Hello everyone — We can now confirm and tell you that Vincent is still in negotiations, as the end of his contract is up shortly. The show has added this plot twist, but as I expressed below, please continue to tune in and make your thoughts, wishes, and voices known. Like many of you, I feel there is much more of D…avid’s story that needs to unfold and we would love to continue watching Vincent’s amazing portrayal of the most complex character on the daytime canvas!
Vincent passed on at how touched he has been by the overwhelming support and outpouring of messages that he has received over the past few days from all of you. Vincent writes, “I can’t say enough how appreciative I am of all the comments on websites and message boards that have been written in support of my work and my character. There would be no doubt to me whatsoever, if I do return to AMC, it will be in greater part because of this wonderful outpouring from all of you who love the show and David as much as I do. I am forever grateful to all of you.”
So what do you think? Is Irizarry truly dead and gone from P.V.?

Mark Consuelos Celebrates One-Year Anniversary as Co-Host of ‘Live’ Alongside Kelly Ripa
Today, April 17th marks a full-year since Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo, All My Children) took over the co-hosting duties of ‘Live” alongside his wife, and longtime co-host, Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, All My Children).
Consuelos replaced Ryan Seacrest who are six seasons decided to be back on the west coast full-time. For Consuelos, now having the opportunity to work off of Ripa as co-hosts has been something of adjustment for him, but viewers have been eating it up.
Live with Kelly and Mark has remained the No. 1 entertainment talk show on television over the past year, growing 3% in average total viewers to 2.23M per episode. It is also the most-watched daytime talk show in the last year in key demos of women 18-49 and women 25-54. All of this, since the real-life marrieds teamed-up.

Speaking with Deadline, Kelly Ripa shared why the two are gelling on-screen, “I do think that there is something very possibly relatable about our relationship. We have disagreements like a normal couple, and we’re not afraid to let them unfold on the air and in front of America, and I think people find a lot of themselves in that.”
Mark weighed in how he has progressed as a host, and what he could improve at, sharing, “I’d like to get better at my interviewing skills. I’d like to get better at reading a teleprompter…I think I’m getting better at throwing to commercial. The other day in the middle of the show as we go to commercial, my sign off was ‘See you guys around.’ I mean, the show wasn’t over. The most obvious thing to say would be, ‘We’ll be back right after this.’ But I just said, ‘See you around.’ So we went to commercial and one of the producers (goes) ‘What was that?’ I don’t know… So for the next few sign offs, as a joke, I’d say ‘See you around.’ We got a kick out of it.”

Meanwhile, Kelly has given huge props to Mark, “I find Mark utterly compelling, really interesting, super funny, and he’s bold in a way like nobody else. He says what’s on his mind. If he’s thinking it, he says it. I’ve done this a long time and oftentimes people will adjust their natural personalities to pander to what they think the audience wants to hear, and Mark will tell people what he thinks, and he doesn’t care if it’s not a popular opinion. It gives him an edginess that I think is really missing in the landscape today. Everybody’s so afraid to say anything, and Mark is unafraid to say exactly what he’s thinking.”
In a statement, Debra O’Connell, President News Group and Networks, Disney Entertainment shared, We could not be more thrilled with how Mark has seamlessly joined the show family as permanent co-host. His undeniable charisma and his and Kelly’s natural chemistry are evident as they deliver the laughs and smiles to our viewers each morning. We are incredibly proud of how Live has continued to evolve and that the audience is responding so enthusiastically.”
So, do you think Mark Consuelos is the best co-host his wife Kelly Ripa has ever had on ‘Live’? How would you say he is doing as co-host after one full year on the job? Comment below.

Dear Vincent, I can’t describe how I feel today. I’m hoping and pulling for you to stay on amc. I think that amc wouldn’t be the same without you. You’ve done such a wonderful job with your character the evil Dr. David, the villain we love to hate.
Know that you have a slew of fans out her rooting for you and writing letters to tptb, on your behalf. We want you back her in p/v where you belong.
Hang in there we’re behind you all the way.
….
Couldn’t agree more! If he really is gone, it’s another (one of many) MAJOR misstep by AMC & ABC.
David makes the most of so much lousy material he’s been given. Able to play a villain in complex terms, not just one-dimensional. True talent. Sick of the shallow boring crap and one-dimensional characters AMC writers/etc treat the characters like paper dolls, puppets and matchsticks used to gloss over superficial story arcs and issues not allowed to be complex characters any more.
Good luck David!!!! They’ll rue the day the let you go.
….
Did i say David? I meant VINCENT of course! see, that’s how believable he makes the character!
I hope he isn’t gone from AMC. I think the character and the actor are fantastic. They have so many newbies and storylines we really don’t care about but Dr David always make any scene he is in interesting. They don’t seem to value their talented vets over there so anything is possible. However, it would just be one more reason to stop watching, which I do frequently.
David is the best soap star period
after just reading this, it gives me hope. as a 40 year fan of all my children, lets just say i feel like a true lifelong friend to many of pine valley. i have watched this show since i was 12! i grew up with these characters! before there were vcr’s or dvr’s, i would work nights just to not miss MY show! i have always been a huge dr. david fan! there is no one in that town with more talent, depth, comedy and deliciousness. sure he is slightly evil and unpredictable, but that is what i would so look forward to seeing. i hope and pray that they can negotiate a deal to keep him! i cant imagine pine valley without him AGAIN….so many blah boring righteous better than thou characters judging him. i am over it. if vincent irizarry walks away from pine valley. i will still tune in, but it will never be the same! dont know whats up with the writers there anymore, but you are boring the %^$& out of us lately!!! if dr. hayward goes, who are we to wait on the edge of our seats to see, scott? jr? lol! you have lost adam, brooke, palmer, jamie, babe, zack, and dixie once again. good or bad, we, your audience, need someone we can root for. i see very few left on the list for me anyway! PLEASE KEEP DAVID ALIVE, AND SEND RYAN TO JAIL! btw, i dont care much for greenlee, so her pain goes unfelt for me. she is just getting back what she always gave. these pompous asses of pine valley have me shaking my head and wondering, will i finally just turn the show off for good?
It would not surprise me. I love VI. I have followed him from soap to soap, starting when he was Lujack at GL. As a lifetime watcher of GL, I also saw what David Kreizman did to that show. I was shocked, appalled, and sad when I saw AMC had picked him up as a writer. It worries me. He destroys core characters, and has no concept of what is best and good about the soap genre – characters and their relationships. He’s a nightmare, and I hope his presence does not mean the end of VI’s presence.
OMG…i had no clue David (Vincent) was leaving AMC…what the heck are these writers thinking? The show is so boring lately and hes the only one that spices it up with his anitcs. I’m glad hes not a real person cause he sure is full of anger and hate..but …Vincent…you make this evil man the guy that he is lol…I’m sure nothing like your real life..or at least i hope not…lol…but you are very believable..unlike many of the idiots running around Pine Valley…I have watched the show since day 1 and have seen many good actors leave and go to other shows and be very successful…You would be scooped up in a new york second and never out of work..Honestly if i were you, i’d tell AMC to KMA and move on to bigger and better things…Maybe CSI or night time TV…hey isnt it time for Erica to retire lol…i am so over her..and others i’m over are ryan, greenlee (she comes and goes like the wind), marissa, but i do especially love Calib…and i sure hope he doesnt get hooked up with Erica…but..this is about you Vincent…you are such an asset to the show and they have no clue what they will lose if they dont renew your contract…but if they dont as i said i’ll look forward to seeing you on Prime Time TV where you truly belong……….best wishes
I HATE HATE HATE DAVID….but, he still has to make Greenlee and Ryan pay and get Liza to prosecute both of them. Then he’ll return and destroy more lives. He’s David…they can’t truly kill him…I don’t even like him and it doesn’t make sense to me!
I don’t know about David, but Vincent should never ever wear that sweater again.
Vincent is an integral part of the landscape. Without him there is not much of a show!
David is an evil man. Pine valley needs this villain, they don’t have anyone truly evil. And I watch AMC solely to see David get his comeuppence. His death would be a disappointment to the loyal fans that enjoy Vincent’s exceptional performance. Let’s hope there is a bizarre twist where it’s a secret twin that gets killed. Or maybe Greenlee steals his body and hires some Dr. Frankenstein to bring David back to life.
surely not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First you take Zach away and now David. I feel like not even watching it anymore. I am very disappointed.
I think David has somehow given himself a drug that makes a person appear to be dead. Meanwhile, he has an accomplice who will make sure he isn’t really buried. Then his “death” can be pinned on Ryan, whom David wants to get out the way anyway.
I hope something like this scenario happens, since David is one of the best characters on the show.
I think you’re right, maybe not spot on, but I definitely don’t think he’s dead. David’s way to crafty to just collapse! It would take an army to take him down!!
Exactly, and who dies from a punch in the face?
Just saw the last episode where David dies, and we were devestated. Are you all kidding me? He is the WHOLE show. You definitely need to bring him back, or I definitely see you losing a huge fan base.
I agree. There are so few substantial characters left on AMC these days. It seems like they’re just catering to a younger demographic by filling the show up with characters ages 18 to 35.
I truly believe it is a great mistake to kill off one of the best and most interesting characters on AMC. I was sad when Vincent left the show before but the character of David Hayward was still alive and there was always some hope he would return. Vincent Irizarry is one of the best actors on AMC. I always look forward to his scenes. Please reconsider your decision.
After losing David Canary (Adam) only Vincent could take over the role of villain so perfectly in his place. PLEASE bring him back. The show will go downhill without such a diversfied and professial actor.
vince is all my children, especially w/ the departure of the almighty david canary!
Knowing David, he took a drug to make him look dead. He will arise again. He is to evil to die.
David is alive and Madison helped him stage his death.
Yes, I just thought the same thing, when I saw that vial of digitalis in Ryan’s pocket. The only one who could have put it there was Madison.
I’m a 25 year veteran of the show. I think that David is alive. I cried when Zach’s son and Annie’s brother died. Both resurfaced on other soaps.
david is the only villian on the show which make him incredible in every scene i will miss him i wish they would have gave him a real love interest
I hope All My Children isn’t stupid enough to kill off one of their best ever characters. Vincent plays the part of David so well, he is a true talent and so much fun to watch. You never know what he is going to do next. It was sad enough to see David Canary retire so Pine Valley needs a bad guy. JR tries to be the bad guy and nothing against Jacob Young, but he just isn’t the caliber of an actor as Vincent is.
amc has had major ratings issues and can not afford to let vincent/david go. He is so
wonderful to watch and keeps the stories exciting. If people hate david thats a good thing! Means vincent is doing his job well! I miss his interactions with tad. I also like
becky budigs chemistry with vincent. Ryan and greenlee would be more interesting if she truly has feelings for david as well. Be smart amc, you finally have fans talking and
an opportunity to have david resurface after the fake “death”. This story could be so much more interesting if david were still alive than the usual who done it which has been
overplayed by every single soap!! We all love vincent and want the writers to do this actor and his fans proud!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Who could play the villain better??? David Hayward is the guy you just LOVE to HATE! But he does have some redeeming traits – I just can’t believe he is off the show! Please, please, please bring him back!
Iam and still in shock that Vincent’s character is off, I really hope he is not,I am a huge and devoted fan of his,and yes I truley hope he comes back,AMC will not be the same without him.
Plus I wont watch if he is really gone.!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been a fan of AMC since 1974. I will stop watching this show if David is truly killed off. I’m through.
Hey, I’ve been watching since 74 also, don’t quit it’s a great show. They will make it interesting again. Maybe they will bring David back
I hope they keep Dr. Dave on the show also, as the storyline possibilities are numerous if he comes back. But if he leaves, the best of luck to Vincent. However, I’ll still continue to watch. Asher is a pretty good possibility for a new villian (he’s actually kind of creepy), as is Caleb Cooney (why is he always so secretive – I mean, what does he have to hide ?).
I don’t think Caleb Cooney has anything to hide. He’s a great down to earth man although he has trust issues and you can’t blame him after all.
I think they could have the usual ‘who dunnit’ but then later have him resurface. The last couple of episodes I thought were ridulous with David coming back as a ‘ghost’, or Greenlee’s conscience. The “ghost stories” have also been done to death. No, I don’t believe David’s death with kill AMC either. I mean, other major characters have left and the soap itself survived amongst protests from fans. And I hope David doesn’t come back only to pretend to be a ghost to drive the others crazy, as that’s been done before also (like when Janet from another planet had the deceased Will Cortland’s double ‘haunt’ Dixie to drive her crazy). I think he should come up with something more devious than that. But seriously, if David does come back he should really consider taking a self defense class because the guy doesn’t know how to fight, and everytime someone goes into battle with him he gets his butt kicked.
David’s death on AMC made no sense. I think the producers, directors etc. need to relook at this and figure out how to correct their script. Everything was going well, David was black-mailing Greenlee and it was just getting good then all of a sudden David’s gone? It didn’t make any sense but I’m not a producer, director etc. so I guess they know what they are doing. In addition, no one really knows what he died of? Two guys fist fighting doesn’t usually end up in death unless one person is hit upside the head but when David stumbled to the floor he was holding his stomach. I thought he had been shot or stabbed but neither happened so it’s really not realistic. I’ve been watching AMC since 1974 so I’ve kept up with this soap for a while, David is a grreat actor! He deserved his award last year and he should have received one again this year. I think the directors, need to figure out a way to bring him back. Maybe they can include something like: David faked his own death because too many people (especially Ryan) already knew what he was trying to do to Greenlee and therefore he knew he would end up in jail and without Greenlee, and he didn’t want to lose Greenlee to Ryan so he makes sure Ryan is arrested for his death. How did he fake his own death: David is an excellent doctor and probably knows some way to make himself look like he’s dead in addition he pays off the doctor who pretends to perform an autopsy. By the way the individual that left his input about David getting his butt kicked all the time well, I do believe David can probably fight, I just believe that they make his characted appear to be a wimp when it comes to fighting. It’s really kind of comical because everytime he gets into a fight he always get whooped. I love AMC and all of it’s characters. I have laughed, cried and felt sorrow especially when the Martin’s grandmother, Mona, Palmer, Phoebe, and Myrtle passed away. Awesome show!! wish I could meet the characters especially, David (Bring him back!) Adam (too bad he’s no longer on the show) , Erica (of course), Jackson, and Angie and Jesse.
I was very happy to see Vincent return to Pine Valley…now, he’s gone again…possibly forever! I say, “NO”……………….(to the head writers) …….don’t do this to us! I really like him with Greenlee……I see she is having remorse, second thots, etc??????? I like her with David better than with Ryan. I say, “KEEP HIM on All My Children!!!”
Even his scenes as a ghost are terrific. I don’t care who killed David, (other than the worst writers in daytime), dropping Vincent I. was such a letdown. I thought that there was great chemistry between VI and Rebecca B. (Greenlee), and was hoping the writing would steer the characters into a more geniune relationship. Then we could see VI and RB at their best, showing their characters vulnerablity. There seemed to be so much more the writers could have explored with David Haywards background, because he wasn’t always so devious. I have tried to watch the past weeks show, and am only enjoying the scenes VI is on with RB. The other storylines are leaving me disinterested at best. If there is not a plot twist soon, I don’t think I will invest any more time with AMC. Wherever Vincent I. winds up next, I will be watching. I read he will be guest starring on NCIS-LA. soon, can’t wait.
I hope that Vincent Irizarry/David isn’t gone from AMC permanently. – – He had a great character on the show and was such a key part of Pine Valley. If Jessie can return from the dead after 20 years, surely David will be back too!!
No way, David is not gone for good. He is a fantastic actor. He makes me want to strangle him myself.
I hope there is some way to bring d.h. back from the dead. the show could not be the same!
The character of David is basically the whole show, without him the soaps rating has beeb seriously downgraded. Vincent has an on screen presence which exudes quality of his craft in a unique persona.

Im sure David is not dead. He is a major character of the show. If for some reason the writers chose to let him go and he is dead they should reconsider it will be a great loss for the show. Noone does it better than Vincent Irizzarry.
I love david even if he was a scoundrel,please don’t let him be dead
This is how my theory will be and how David Hayward’s death is a hoax. He must’ve pay Nick Pearson a lot of money to frame Greenlee and Ryan for murder that he planted the vial in Ryan’s jacket and Nick must’ve have the antidote to keep him alive. Maybe he will walk in the courtroom to shock everyone that is one big ploy.
David’s character is the only character that actually makes sense on this one sided soap opera. While ALL MY CHILDREN try to give Ryan all the good written story lines.., David really does some fine acting. Without David, Adam, and Zach, the show really sucks. All MY CHILDREN can not continue to make Ryan look good on this show. It makes the show really boring.
Please hire the writers they have ten years ago.
If you get rid of real actors it really hurts a once great show.
It’s about time they brought David back.. the show was truly suffering. I was getting so sick of the BS they were putting on. I completely stopped watching it. Now with Zach gone, which is a huge lost, David can spice the show up again. The sorry excuse for writers must have come to their senses. The next move is to kill Ryan off, and for good. Cameron is a lousy actor and his character is over-rated. He pisses me off.
This is the man I love to hate. Life just wouldn’t be the same without his lying, cheating, sneaky, devious character to spice up my day. If All My Children doesn’t fight for him, I’m afraid they’ll have lost a major player!
YOU PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO BE CRAZY-DAVID IS GONE LET IT GO ALREADY AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT GET RID OF ANNIE AND MADISON TOO.
