All My Children’s dastardly ex-David Hayward, Vincent Irizarry has confirmed to ABC Soaps In Depth, rumors that had been circulating for several months about the status of his real-life marriage.  The Daytime Emmy winner confirmed that he and his wife, Avalon have indeed separated .  “Avalon and I have been separated for the better part of this year and are in the process of going through a divorce. Our separation has been amicable as we continue to be friends. Our greatest priority will never cease to be the well-being of our two amazing children whom we love beyond words as parents.”

And while we know divorce proceeding are always tough on a family, our thoughts are with Irizarry.  Our soap hope is that his beloved character – the doc you love to hate – may be somehow in the not to distance horizon- set to re-enter the Pine Valley canvas.   Even though Irizarry was killed off…doesn’t it seem like David would have nine lives?  Do you think Irizarry is really gone from AMC, or do you think there is a larger plan at play in the works from the powers-that-be in Pine Valley?  Let us know.

He can’t be dead! We need our Emmy winning Dr. Dave back!

It is a shame to watch this man who claims to be strong devoted Christian and Father continue to have affairs and leave the mothers of his numerous children. I hope other Christian actors will stand up and hold this man accountable for his actions.

what is it they say? “Let he is without sin…” ?

How do you know that he had an affair?

What and who are you talking about?

In answer to Kirkcameron’s message, it is sad, Kirk, that Vincent is going through another divorce. However, getting a divorce has nothing to do with his Christianity. My Bible says: If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved.

I don’t think we should judge people who are not doing what we think they should be doing. That’s up to the Lord. I was Vincent’s web manager for nearly 10 years. I’ve gotten to know him through the years and know he is a fine and caring person. Do you know him? I can tell you that I KNOW the Lord loves him and will be with him through eternity.

11-22-10 I KNEW David Hayward would never kill himself. David has too much of a God complex to ever commit suicide. He would much rather be the puppet master and control everyone around him and those he cannot control, make them pay. I LOVE the character David Hayward and I LOVE the actor Vincent Irizarry who plays him. Today AMC moved back to my number one slot of things I MUST watch on tv. He was my favorite character and I found myself barely watching after he left in September. I watched today to see the scenes about Zack to see if he is really dead (I don’t think he is) and I am so glad I did because the last scene caught me by surprise. A very good one. One that AMC did an EXCELLENT job of keeping secret. I like those kinds of surprises. 🙂

Irizzary is a good actor, but I’m very tired of David Hayward. I’ve watched AMC from its beginning. I’ve seen villains come and go. There are no scenarios that I haven’t seen or for which I can’t figure out the outcomes. A villain is one thing, but his character is no longer entertaining. He has become too predictable and therefore boring. It’s very sad to see Thorsten Kaye’s character gone and David Hayward’s resurrected. Please, someone pull the plug on Hayward’s ventilator.

How can All My Children have a finale when it’s being transitioned over to the WEB? Is it or is it not continuing? This is absolutely frustrating to hear conflicting stories! This very unnerving situation is a soap opera story itself with all it’s twists and turns! Someone with the inside scoop, please have the decency to tell the fans the truth of what is to become of All My Children!

my comment is don’t give up your YOUR MARRAGE WITH AVALON BECOUSE I WANT TO MEET HER IN PERSON I KNOW YOU HAVE KIDS I UNSTAND BUT YOU HAVE FRIENDS LIKE ME TO BELIVE IN YOU DO THE RIGHT THING BY TELLING THE TRUTH I LOVE THE NEW DAVID HE SO GOOD LOOK MAN I WANT TO MEET KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

I have never believed in rumors and never will when it comes to people in the media as well as close friends. Call me crazy but I believe that a open mind is something you must have to be a real Christian. I was raised in a Catholic family yet saw so many people Christian or otherwise that closed their minds and hearts. Turning 50 in December of 2012, being divorced, watching my mother pass away, and living on my own has made me learn to be more outspoken And if by some miracle, I would meet a celebrity (including Vincent Izzarry) my first impression would not be influenced by what I read. We all have minds of our own, use your own instead of someone elses.

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.
