Fantastic news for fans of the online revivals of All My Children and One Life to Live this afternoon! In an official statement just released, the labor dispute between Prospect Park and the Union has been resolved meaning new episodes will begin shooting after the current hiatus!

The official statement reads: “Today Prospect Park and the I.A.T.S.E. New York Production Locals 52, 161, 600, 700, 764, 798 and USA829 are pleased to announce that the two parties have resolved issues related to the production of  All My Children and One Life To Live to their mutual satisfaction. As a result production of both series will resume, as planned following the shows’ hiatus, on August 12, 2013.

Speaking on behalf of the New York Production Locals, Local 600 Representative David Blake stated, “We are pleased that that the parties were able to successfully address their concerns in a mutually beneficial way, which will enable these innovative shows to continue to be produced with our talented crews.”

“We thank the entire I.A.T.S.E. organization for their continued support in bringing these shows to fans, and we especially appreciate the efforts of Chaim Kantor and John Ford and our entire crew for helping us to move forward as a unified team,” said Jeff Kwatinetz.”

New episodes of both series are being produced by Prospect Park and The OnLine Network. One Life to Live debuted on ABC in 1968, and All My Children debuted on ABC in 1970. The shows were created by Agnes Nixon, and each ran for more than 40 years, until 2011. Both series have won numerous Daytime Emmys, and have earned hundreds of nominations in various categories. TOLN brought the shows back on April 29, 2013 and audiences can still log into HULU and iTunes to catch brand new episodes Mondays through Thursdays on HULU and iTunes.

So soap fans, and AMC and OLTL fans, happy to hear the news of the resolution between the Union and Prospect Park?  Are you excited to know new episodes will begin shooting in August? Share your thoughts on this breaking news!

Who wouldnt be happy?

Only people who want PP to fail..
I am doing a happy dance!!!!

All my children sucks. Susan lucci needs to come back or the soap will be cancelled again. the storylines suck. agnes nixon is such a bitch. she is senile and needs to retire. please cancel one life to live. horrible writing and bad storylines. get rid of the show now. cancel it now. too painful to watch anymore.

Wow, Nancy, who pooped in your Cornflakes this morning?

BITTER..AREN’T WE..DAMN U DONT NEED TO WATCH NANCY

I love the new AMC and OLTL and if you don’t, why ya watchin? Hope they run for a really long tome, I especially like the new actos and actresses!!

Isn’t that the truth, there are ppl out there that want it to fail. Sucks. And what is this crap Nancy that AMC sucks, what stories are you watching? I love it! It will not be cancelled again. Storylines are awesome. How can you say AN is a bitch? Senile? Where is this coming from? Cancel OLTL, you must work for ABC/Disney then. A troll who wants the shows to fail. If it is way too painful to watch darling, perhaps you need to stop watching then, perfect solution for you. As for the rest of us, we will continue watching. I hate when ppl complain about something and then have time to come on here and gripe. Get a life!

You mean people like Nancy? Wow, just wow.

I’m loving AMC & OLTL! I’m thrilled they will be returning. To the cast & crew ,please disregard mean comments and people expressing a desire for you to fail and become unemployed.These mean spirited negative people are not representative of your many loyal ,dedicated fans. Keep up the good work!

Feel sorry for poor Nancy. She’s been locked in her basement now for way too long. Surviving on cheetos and bitterness can do that to a person.

BTW, Nancy, I hear Agnes Nixon hates you more. Who can argue with her?

Really, though, just another non-watcher who likes to stir it up. Now I have to wonder how she got access to the internet at the asylum…..

Nancy made a comment that she works for ABC! And wants more talk & reality
shows on abc. And sad Agnes is an old bat & should retire. And still saying both soaps stink and should be cancelled again. See her comments on 6/20 at
11:50p.m. More vicious comments! BELOW!

More like who peed in her wheaties

Wow Nancy! Shame on you! If you don’t like the shows, writer’s, or actor’s then just stop watching and stop this horrible talk … you are ungrateful and trying to ruin it for everyone else… It’s the ole adage our parent’s taught us…”if you don’t have anything nice to say then say nothing at all!” Shame Shame Shame on you… I love everyone working so hard bringing us our shows that were resurrected from the dead… Thanks to all of you….

Nancy is nothing more than a troll. Ignore “it.”

i will beat the crap out of you derek. they will cancel general hospital. replace it with a game show and talk show. all my children will get cancelled as well. im looking forward til all my children is gone for good. as for agnes nixon she is a bitch skank and a senile old bat. meet me on a dark ally derek. i will tie you up and feed you rats. watch out derek. dont blink loser.

Nancy I think you forgot to take the Blue Pill…..

Well Nancy, if you feel that way don’t watch OLTL & AMC! You seem very BITTER!
I am very happy the dispute was resolved. Agnes Nixon is not a bitch by no means. If it is too painful for you to watch well, don’t watch and go read a book instead! We soap fans will continue to watch & support our soaps! DUTIE HEAD!

LOL Susan, your reply came to me instead of Nancy…im ok with it…i agree with you!

Yeah, Nancy, that is a little harsh. Okay, a lot harsh.

Granted, I am not LOVING “All My TEENAGE Children” and “One TEENAGE Life to Live,” I am patient with them and crossing my fingers the vets will get some story lines before Christmas.

I am very excited to hear that production will be restarting up in August. Now PP, lets take the web series global and make a big splash. Show all the doubters that this is the wave of the future. Bring back the veterans that put the soaps on the air and made us fall in love with AMC and OLTL. The younger actors rightfully don’t have the “grit” of experience yet to make us love them like we do the veterans; Yes, we do need the young actors to attract new viewers but they alone won’t keep the show online. Find a good balance of the two eras and you will be in production for a long timel.

im in total agreement with you, Sandy! im wiling to give it more time too.

Amen Sandy! I think a good balance would be good … I do love all the younger crowd but also hope to see more of our other Character’s brought back… I’m still having a difficult time with the new JR character and storyline LOL Just isn’t JR anymore…

Halle-freaking-lujah!

Good for everyone involved coming together and making this work! I’m delighted for everyone, including for us fans!

Bravo! I’m so happy for everyone and al the fans.

Never had a doubt that somehow this would work out after all PP’s hard work to get our soaps back, didn’t think they’d let them fall apart that easily. Happy News!!

Now that that is settled, is there any way that they can start showing episodes 4 days a week again?

I actually like having less episodes. I work full time and I don’t feel under pressure to stay on top of them. I enjoy them enough to want more more more, but at the end of the day, I get to digest them long enough to anticipate the next one. I’m liking the new 2x a week per show.

We need more episodes char. all of us are losing intrest in both soaps. 4 episodes a week would be a better fit. or they will be cancelled yet again.

I’ve not seen any evidence of this. Its how you think its going based on talking to others? Who iis all?

I am not losing interest in the soaps! And they aren’t going to be cancelled . That’s the second time you mentioned that(nancy)…All I can say don’t watch them… If you feel that way.

Wow Nancy, not sure where you’re getting all of your information but please don’t speak for the rest of us fans who love the new shows and will take them any way we can get them whether it’s 2 times a week or 4.

Then you have the option to watch during your lunch hour or breaks, or evenings, or weekends… the rest of us would love to have 4 days back and hope one day it could be 5 days per week of episode’s only…. Sorry you feel this way but why should we suffer with less for you… meant in a nice way 🙂

I and many others new it was nothing to worry over, just union stuff, it would be settled soon, and it was ..

that is good news for the very many who said; PP would go bankrupt , PP would cancel the soaps, PP doesn’t know how to do this and that, this is the end of the soaps, it was all doom and gloom from many LOL
I am happy all is settled and PP will continue on with our soaps!!
I hope this will end the cures on PP and the soaps 🙂
PP has survived through all the obstacles thrown in their path !

I feel two faced(maybe i have d.i.d…about the cursing cuts i responded to you in a very disagreeing way, and now here im very much in agreement with you…i may not like the cussing like you do but i can see we r on mutual ground here…we love oltl and want to stay around for good. If only it could always be that way!

Yes PP and TOLN have survived so many obstical’s … I think our soaps are here to stay thanks to all the hard work by everyone … Thanks to everyone making our stories possible… :))

Now the only thing they need are some stronger scripts and some familiar faces
and they will be all set!
Doesn’t it just seem like without Tad Martin there as played by Michael E. Knight
and without Susan Lucci as Erica Kane that PINE VALLEY just isn’t the same?
Also, whatever happened to Dr. Castillo who is a doctor at Pine Valley Hospital?
Isn’t he Cara’s brother? What happened?

good question.how bout rex and gigi?

They are in London with Shane. I want to know why no one ever mentions Jessica! Where is she? I am hoping she is back with Brody.

They are never mentioned GiGi, Rex ,Shane,and most of all Jessica.

Dr. Castillo I’ve wondered about, though I can’t say I ever cared about his presence even on the best day. Personally, I’ve been waiting on more Adam for WEEKS and WEEKS now! We haven’t seen him since what? Week 3?

Well Ms. Lucci is busy doing others things and she might make an appearence on AMC if her schedule permits . That’s what she said a while ago.

Susan Lucci is in lots of other show’s but we can pray success there and that she will at least be a guest star occasionally on AMC … never know what can happen in the future… maybe yes and maybe no… she is in the new Devious Maids right now… great show too… love being retired and watching TV & On-Line all day hehehehehe

Finally! Frustrating when you have to pay to watch your favorite soap and there are not enough episodes!

Free on hulu

Why do YOU have to PAY for your soap?????

Someone’s taking you to the cleaners if you’re paying. Unless, that is, you chose to. It’s free through HULU – something that has been said, typed, and shouted from the rooftops for months on end.

Unless you’re one of the non-watchers who just come onto these sites to complain about shows you don’t watch.

I’m Canadian and I have no other option but to pay via ITunes. But I do so with a smile in my heart. I told myself back in November/December 2011 when the first words of PP picking up OLTL/AMC were announced that I would pay if necessary as a way of showing my support. Now that I have to, I have no complaints.

I’m getting really tired of the hater’s too… why do they even waste their time complaining and calling foul names at this hard working team to bring the shows for us that do appreciate them… I think when they are calling people foul names Hulu and ITunes should block them from their sites including the comment site’s… Hater’s are a waste of time to society… they must be very unhappy folks in a miserable life to act this way 🙂

Maybe in the future things will change for you guys in Canada…sure hope so… It’s your own networks there that caused this for you not PP or TOLN … I don’t understand what prevents Hulu and ITunes from providing free to you like the U.S.??

Hello Nancy Gonzales. You can Watch All My Children AND One Life To Live on Hulu and that is FREE. Also, You can Watch All My Children And One Life To Live on The Online Network and That is FREE. Jody

This is the best news I have heard next to finding out that both shows were given a 2nd chance.

Most certainly…Very happy!

Best news ever, the last thing we need is a disruption or complete loss of our beloved AMC and OLTL. Oh Happy day!! 🙂

Great news!

It’s fantastic that both labor and management came together and worked out a solution that benefits everyone, including the viewers. Congratulations to all!

Wonderful news.

This is great news. Today’s (6/20) OLTL was the best yet, didn’t want the episode to end. Luv that Shaun is back, can’t wait to see him in scenes with Destiny.
Looking forward to seeing the new One Life To Live become stronger, with the new writers, after the hiatus. Thanks Prospect Park and the unions for resolving.

I agree with you Mark ! I am happy the dispute was resolved! OLTL has alway’s been my #1 favorite soap.. I hope more of the cast returns in Aug. OLTL was the best on 6/20 and threre was no cursing which they don’t need in the storyline. Never needed it before and it wasn’t necessary . Happy the unions resolved everything! Need more episodes like on 6/20! Viki really gave it to Clint ! And so did Natalie….This episode of OLTL ROCKS and I hope there are more to come like this
episode! These are the kind of stories that made OLTL so great!

God is good but I had no doubt that it would work out. Congratulations PP and continue to make AMC & OLTL the best online soaps.

Fabulous!

How courageous PP has been to push forward through the many storms!

That is awesome news.!

Thank God. Thank you.

I think people who said the show(s) would face cancellation and are now praising Prospect Park should not be allowed to. You’re hypocritical.

Happy they figured this shit out, though.

Absolutely thrilled! So happy they could work it out and that these wonderful soaps will be back taping new episodes soon! Congratulations!

This is great news – and not unexpected. Labor disputes, unfortunately, have happened before and will probably happen again. Now we can look forward to more great episodes of these two wonderful shows.

I wonder what the gloom and doom crowd are going to do now that their latest “the shows are doomed” predicition didn’t play out?

Does this mean it will go back to 4shows each per wk?or r we stuck with basically 1 hr per week total per soap? i had read some time back they each went to only 2 shows each per wk because basically people wernt watching daily and binge watching on weekends …. hell whats new about that when they were on neteork t.v. i dont know any one who watched daily scense dvd’s came out what 20 yrs ago. then tivi dvr etc etc.i guess ive binged watched for many years and even with the shows each being. only 2 new episoides per week a whopping hour each per week i will certanially binge watch watch all about every 3weeks now. i did hear the actors work 5on 5weeks off.if thats true good for them they deserve it.they been there most of them a long time. o.l.t.l. has always been numero uno for me..best storylines actors.etc.i can remember vicky hiding in closest from father victor.thats how ling ive been a fan!!!so glad they r back. even if not an hour 5 days.per wk.i always liked amc too. o.l.t

It’s good news. All we need now is for Susan Lucci to return as “Erica Kane” or should I say “Erica Kane-Martin-Brent-Cudahy-Chandler-Roy-Montgomery-Montgomery-Chandler-Marick-Marick-Montgomery.

WHEEEEEWWWW!!
So happy that is over!! I am excited to see what is in store for the citizens of Pine Valley & Llanview….
For the one(s) leaving negative comments, please stop. If you don’t like the shows,
don’t watch but don’t come on here and bash them. As fans, we worked hard to get them back and are very thankful to Prospect Park, TOLN and HULU. GREAT JOB!!!

Oh shut up gayle. anybody can voice there opinions here. This is a free country to express your opinions. all my children is close to cancellation mark my words. one life to live will stay on the air. All my children is not a good soap anymore. say bye bye all my children.

I disagree with you completely on that Marlena. I love the new All My Children!

Marlena, how did you get out fo the locked ward again? I swear, if we find you online ONE MORE TIME you’ll have to go back in the “Bad Room”. And that means no more Jumbo bags of Cheetos – and we’ll make you bathe again. Girl, you do reek a bit, you know that, right?

So shuffle back down the hall to your room and don’t forget your bunny slippers.
Anymore outbursts today and it will be enema time.

Hello Marlena. If Anybody can Tell their Opinions on here, then why are you Telling Gayle to Shut Up? All My Children Is NOT about to get Cancelled. All My Children is Number 1 on Hulu and I Tunes. I Watch All My Children AND One Life To Live. I don’t think One Life To Live is Better than All My Children. There is Todd and Victor and the Tattoo Organization and how is The Shelter Club Involved. However, Nothing Else is going on. I Watch Viki and the Paper and Nora with her Radio Show and that is almost all that is Happening. Maybe All My Children is Overly Dramatic, but I am Interested in what will be with Cassandra and will Jesse have to go to Prison for Faking Uri’s Death. I am Interested in David Hayward Finding out about His Child and whether David will be able to work at the Hospital. I am watching Brooke and Dimitri and Billy Clyde Tuggle. I still wonder who Celia’s Guardian is and IF that Guardian is that Man that Celia keeps Seeing. I Still Enjoy Opal. Jody

What a relief that the problems have been solved and the shows resume production. Love them both and am still thrilled that PP brought them back. JMHO but ABC should never have cancelled them. Susan Lucci fans can get a weekly dose of LaLucci on the Lifetime presentation of “Deceptive Maids”. Someone suggested this Michelle stalker could turn out to be Hannah, who tried to kill Starr and James so she could live happily ever after with Cole. Well, Cole is dead and gone, so wouldn’t it be cool if Michelle turns out to be Hannah? LOL

I work for abc. enjoy watching all my children and one life to live. we want these horrible shows cancelled. horrible storylines and desperate actors not making enough money. susan lucci will not return to all my children. she has moved on. agnus nixon is a bitter old hag. Retire and go away you old bat. I’m glad u were fired you old bitch. just cancel gh too. we want more talk shows and reality shows on abc.

If you are for real ……..you outta just work for the Obama administration – and try to jam his despicable programs down our throat.

Huh? What?
Quite the stretch to be able to make the jump from Nancy’s garbage to getting in your political opinions.
If someone wishes you a Good Morning do you say, “Well, not so good with Obama trying to jam his despicable programs down our throats!”

Sounds like and Nancy are a marriage made in heaven.

You are very nasty & bitter! First you say you enjoy watching OLTL & AMC. Then you say you want them cancelled. HUH!!!! Don’t watch them ! Soap fans NEVER wanted more talk shows or reality shows ! Sorry you work for ABC the traders that cancelled them ! Don’t watch the soaps!!! Agnes isn’t aan old bat! We all are tired of your doom & gloom comments!

Hello Susan. Agnes Nixon is NOT An Old Bitch Either. Who Says You Old Bitch? Either People say You Bitch OR I’m glad that you got Fired You Bitch. However, Nobody says I’m glad that you got Fired You Old Bitch. I thought Most Bitches were Young Bitches Anyway. I don’t know any Old Bitches. Jody

Troll!!!

If these comments “await moderation” why on earth would Michael allow “Nancy” to post this?? This is a great and fun website where we can all bond with each other as soap fans, not be verbally abused by some troll. It’s one thing to disagree with another viewer over an actor or storyline or which soap is best but this is just nonsense. This is clearly just some dumb kid who’s bored at home getting his (or her) rocks off.

Michael let the person speak and had faith in us, our intelligence, to not respond to the troll.. Pass over/ignore the comment ..
Trolls needed to be feed, and h/she was given a good lunch..
It is obvious that Michael is very open minded and respects the 1st amendment..

I’m sure as all that Michael has a limit, but he does not censor peoples right of expression, I admire Michael for that, very much ..

It’s Brian Frons. He has to do something when he gets off his shift at Burger King.
Cleaning the toilets there just makes him cranky!

Nancy is his supervisor -or his mother.

I doubt very much that this “Nancy” works for ABC. If she does, she should know better than to post such comments. And if she really does work for ABC, she most likely will be fired soon.

Hello Brian. I’m sorry that you have the same Name as Brian Frons. Also, Nancy said that ABC should Cancell General Hospital. Well, If Nancy Works for ABC, then why doesn’t she have ABC Cancel General Hospital. Jody

YAY!!!!!!

Great – lets continue the progress….maybe longer episodes or more per week?

I don’t watch either, but keep up for my mother who started watching AMC when she was pregnant with me in 1973. Not quite sure why people EVER want to see a show canceled. And I’m saying from both sides – I want AMC & OLTL to thrive online. And I don’t want to see The Chew canceled. We have so many options on TV. If you don’t like something, watch something else. I didn’t boycott NBC when they canceled Santa Barbara – a superior soap to ANY other 🙂

I had no doubt they wouldn’t resolve their issues. It is in both parties interest to work it out and they did. To all the Negative Nelly’s out there. Stop watching the shows! You are a very SMALL portion of the viewing audience and while you are entitled to your opinions, you are also entitled to the wrath of those who disagree with you. AMC and OLTL will be on the air for a LONG TIME, if you (haters) feel they suck, watch something else because the more you complain, it just shows you are watching two beloved shows enjoy a second lease on life!

And to that bitter Nancy woman, get a life as you are a sad troll with vicious thoughts! Maybe Billy Clyde should kidnapp you and put you to work! LOL

You are a bully sir. stop harrasing nancy. go watch your gay porn.

Marlena you’re the bully who defends bullies when they get called out. You and Nancy must be BFF. Go take your mean girl group and zip it!

Pretty ridiculous of you to get on your high horse about what someone else says and then tell them to go watch their “gay porn”.
So not only are you a hypocrite but also a bigot.

So when you slip out of your bunny slippers and get your nose out of the feedbag, go back to your basement and watch your horse porn.

Marlena: What a shriveled up, dry c*%t.

Why are you soap fans calling each other such awful names? I do not understand this.

Hey Robert. Maybe Uri should Kidnap Nancy and have her go through what Cassandra is going through. Let Nancy have Withdrawl Pains and Nightmares and have Seizures and Be Pregnant and Also Have AIDS ! ! ! ! ! ! Jody

WHEW!!!!!!! I can’t take this anymore!!!! My poor heart!!!!!

A Twinkie disaster is avoided! yeah!

Great news! I’ve been holding off watching because I couldn’t deal with another cancelation , looks like I’m tuning in!

Wow some people on this site have gone crazy all right. the name calling the bullying the swearing. please everyone this needs to stop right now. i love michael fairnans site. we all have diffrent views or opinions. please stop the name calling and putting people down. i hope you read this michael fairman. I’m shocked and angry with bad individuals swearing and homophobic slurs. it angers me and shocked by peoples behavior. Lets try to get along. peace everyone.

Thank you so much michael fairman for getting back to me. i agree with you totally. i love your comments and you do work very hard for us to give us the scoop. i love your interviews as well. take care michael.

I love this site Micheal…its the best thanks to you…i hate to see it shut down but i do agree some people have gone to far with some of their vulgar and offensive replies…i recieved one but it never appeared on here and i appreciate it…my friend Kim sometimes uses my computer to comment as well…both of us always look forward to your interviews and agree you are the best there is…now that pp has decided to eliminate the cuss words some of us found overused and offensive, i hope some people on here will do the same when responding to others. These comments should be what we like and dislike about our soaps, and those who reply should explain why they agree or disagree without the name calling or condescending remarks. If they cant stop the name calling and continue the insults, id ban them from this site for good. Just dont shut it down completely…there are lots of us who would miss it terribly, and who can make comments without being offensive. IF i ever offended anyone i sincerly apologize. Just put out a warning for now, and see if that works but dont shut down this site. WE LOVE MICHEAL FAIRMAN!

amen to you ricardo. i love your comment on this site. the name calling needs to stop right now. why cant we all just get along. we all love michael fairman. he is doing a terrific job on this website. he gives us info on all our beloved soaps. good job ricardo. you are straight to the point. ricardo. god bless ricardo. have a nice day my friend.

Well said Ricardo. My comments were mean but in response to a meaner person for attacking Agnes. You’re right, name calling is an immature action and we are suppose to be adults.

I am sorry if my respones where offensive. This particular comment someone made on this site & started all this which I couldn’t believe the comments she made…I will not chime in anymore & avoid commenting on hateful remarks. I enjoy Michael Fairman’s site and all the wonderful information he gives us about
our soaps! He does an awesome job!

Cool.

This is wonderful news. I am not surprised that the situation was resolved quickly. Had they not be able to resolve this with the union and had taken the productions to another state, all of those union employees in Connecticut would be out of work.

Am proying that the new writing team on OLTL will answer a burning question. Why did Alison Perskins kidnap Victor Lord Junior, how did Victor escape and what connection does Alison have to the tattooed mob that are trying to kill Victor now. PLEASE. CONNECT THE DOTS FOR US. Also to the new writing team, it’s amazing to me that Natalie has not once mentioned Roxy or Rex or Jessica. Sam, Jack and Dani have a sister, Starr. Not even a one way phone conversation. I hate it when writers think that if they never menton a character’s name that the audience will forget them.

those are the same things id like addressed…they couldve at least had victor mention allison and where she kept him prisoner…bo couldve said the found allison unconcious and unable to speak because she is in a coma after being struck in the head…did victor do it…keep a little mystery going to keep us fans on edge but gradually reveal allisons connection to vics kidnapping, the tatoo orginazation ect. Plus let characters talk about Jessica, Rex and the others not shown by one way phone conversation or simply just by talking about them. we have families who live in other cities we dont see but we talk about them or we talk with them on the phone. hopefully new writers will touch on this.

Thanks jimh…hopefully the new writers will write some of our favorites back into the show. (Barbara Garrick, Ilene Kristen please come back) After seeing Tuesday’s episode I can see why changes in the writing staff need to be made. Very uneven. Parts of it were fantastic (the scenes with Tea and Dani were deeply moving). On the opposite end of the spectrum was the Jack Manning storyline. Given that Jack has never ever expressed an interest in girls his out of nowhere love tryst with a total stranger was completely out of character. The scene came out of nowhere and just didnt ring true.

I think Jack already knew her…i believe she’s his summer school teacher…the writers arent revealing her identity in that episode but will soon, i believe. The only girl he did seem interested in was Vimals sister Neela during the shows network run but they apparently forgotten her and she’s not even mention. i also think they shouldve had Shaun work as a bouncer at Shelter…i liked Shauns scenes with Destiny….your right about Tea and Dani…their scenes were very moving…need more of them…and Roxy too…wouldve been great fun seeing Roxi do Todds nails in that one episode. thanks 4 reply.

Hello Richard. I think that Viki and Clint should mention Jessica. At least Tell us if Jessica had A Set Back and she is at St. Ann’s OR say that Jessica and Brody got Married and Moved out of Llanview. Jody

I agree with you Jody! She is never mentioned at all!

Hey Nancy. Why do you call Agnes Nixon A Bitch? If she had gotten somebody Fired, then she would be A Bitch. If you think she is too old and shouldn’t have anything else to do with Storylines; then she is Not A Bitch. Jody

Hey Nancy. Now Agnes Nixon is A Skank? Is She Making Out with Your Boy Friend OR Husband? Stop Insulting that Nice Elderly Woman and Especially with Calling Her A Bitch and Skank ! ! Also, I don’t think you are Supposed to be Making Threats on the Internet. WOW ! You will Beat the Crap Out of Derek and Meet him in A Dark Alley and Tie Him Up and Feed him to the Rats ! ! ! ! Nancy, YOU are The Loser ! Jody

Hello Jules. Try Typing http://www.toln.com OR http://www.theonlinenetwork.com and Scroll downward and Click on the All My Children Video or the One Life To Live Video if you want to watch that. Keep Up with what Episode It is such as Monday will be Chapter 10 Part 1. I Hope you can do that in Canada. Good Luck. Jody

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.”

Photo: ABC

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.
