The current Kendall Hart Slater, Alicia Minshew,  made a statement this afternoon after the confirmation that the original Kendall, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar is now coming back to All My Children before its network television conclusion on September 23rd for a guest appearance!  In response to Gellar’s earlier comments that Gellar wanted to come back and play a different role than Kendall, Alicia had this to say to Soap Opera Digest about the endless possibilities of a scene with her!

Alicia Minshew: “That is brilliant! I think her ideas are brilliant and I hope if she does have a scene at ConFusion that I get to be in it! Whatever she ends up doing, I hope I get to be a part of it. I think it would be so funny if the two of us looked at each other and went, ‘Don’t I know you from somewhere?’ or if we said the same thing at the same time and looked at each other like, ‘Hmmmm.’ I’ve only met Sarah one time, but she couldn’t have been sweeter. I would love, love, love to work with her.  This is what’s really weird.  I actually had a dream about her last night! She had her baby right around when I had Willow and I was just looking at a picture of her with her daughter in a magazine, and maybe that’s why she popped up in my dream, but I totally dreamed that we were hanging out doing mommy things together. It was crazy!”

So what do you think Kendall vs. Kendall? What should the historic soap moment be if both Alicia and Sarah are in a scene together?

NICE ,

Can Sarah’s character name be Buffy?

For copyright reasons, I don’t think so. This is ABC after all.

As far as I’m concern, Alicia is Kendall and Sarah is Buffy.

I love it! Alicia is my all time favorite daytime actress but SMG is a close second so to have the two of them on together is like a dream come true.

I agree with Alicia, it would have to be fun. Both are excellent actresses and it would be interesting. I’m sure it will be written just right! 🙂

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALICIA AND SARAH IN THE SAME SCENE. I HAVE WATCHED AMC SINCE THE FIRST DAY IT CAME ON THE AIR AND ALL THE MEMORIES IS WHAT WE A RE GOING TO HAVE SOON. ALTHOUGH I HEAR THINGS ABOUT A CABLE CHANNEL FOR IT WE , THE FANS, CAN ONLY HOPE THAT BECOMES REAL. I LOVE ALICIA AS KENDALL AND THE FANS HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW HER AS KENDALL BUT THE EARLY FANS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER SMG AS THE YOUNGER KENDALL. THESCENES WITH SUSAN LUCCI WERE JUST ON THATS FOR SURE.

I would just like to be a fly on the wall when she runs into Susuan Lucci ! Don’t they have an intense dislike for each other? Or is that nasty gossip!

This looks to be fantastic. I can’t wait to see how this plays out. So loving AMC again for the first time in years.

I love that she is coming back. I’ve always loved her and loved her as Kendall but, I feel that Alicia is a great Kendal and did not want Sarah to come back if it meant Alicia was going to off the air. I love SMG she has always been a nice person and though I’m not sure, but years ago I think I read somewhere that Susan did not like SMG. It might have been a jeou thing as SMG was the one the show centered at that time, and SL came back after not being 100% successful off the show. SMG left because she was not happy with the coldness she received from SL. SL though seems to have grown up a bit (lol if you could grow up at the age she is) and accepted others being just as important on the show. Thank god she did not pull the same thing on alicia. When I heard they were bringing the character back I was worried, that Susan would be a diva again. Not sure if Susan is still a diva but she did give SMG a hard time and SMG at that time was under 18 and SL should be ashamed of herself for treating a young girl the way she did.

SL will suck it up though because now she’s in her late 60’s and knows that she can’t compete. SMG is a nice person and has always been a nice person.

I would like to see Sarah as a drunk patron at Confusion and Kendall/Erica show up and have her get into it with them…it would be funny!!!!

In addition you could have Sarah’s character go on the attack against Erica and have Alicia as Kendall stand up for Erica and then have Sarah say something like…”You can bet if I was your daughter I wouldn’t be so nice” haha

Promoting is always good busniess.

I like Alicia as Kendall but to me the real Kendall Heart is SMG. She originated the roll as Kendall and when I think of Kendall the first picture that comes to my head is SMG. Not saying Alicia is not doing a great job, she is and she is fine !!!! Talk about a stunning woman… So if I had to lose SMG, Alicia is a good replacement… and nice to look at.

Maybe they should bring SMG back as Silver, Erica’s sister !!!! I should be a writer for AMC. It wouldnt be cancelled if I was in charge…

We need to know whnen All My Children will start and the web site address to watch it. Fans need as much info as possible. 5 days a week….time????
Please advertize or send me an e-mail. WE NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!
Thank you

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.
