Cady McClain Posts Message Confirming All My Children Is Not Returning!

Daytime Emmy winner, Cady McClain (Dixie) has now shared her thoughts on what is happening with All My Children and is confirming what Debbi Morgan (Angie) already related to her fans on Twitter, that AMC won’t be coming back online this year, or in this incarnation.
McClain, who has always been deeply concerned for the feelings of the fans of All My Children and the soaps, and has always written on the events surrounding the changes and the ups and downs of bringing AMC back from its original cancellation by ABC, posted this message on her facebook page today! You can read it here below in its entirety.
Cady McClain: “If you aren’t hearing anything about the ending of AMC as we know it, it’s really out of shock. I am also trying to allow PP to have the moment to contact all the actors and explain what is and has been going on with AMC, and then gather themselves to try and explain it all to you, the fans. I can confirm what Debbie Morgan has shared already, that we were given assurances that we would be continuing with the series and then were very recently contacted and told that, with great regret, AMC won’t be going back online this year, or in this particular incarnation. Certainly hope springs eternal that we will yet again, spring from the dead.
I do feel confident in sharing my opinion that PP and all “the powers that be” involved in making AMC and OLTL truly loved the shows and did their utmost to make continuing them possible. The premiere in NYC was one of the most exciting moments I have had the privilege to be a part of in my career. I am not privy to the behind the scenes decisions, however. Like you, I can only experience those choices second hand and guess at the reasons why this is happening now.
Instead of going into the “What Went Wrong” question, I think I’d rather focus on the gratitude I feel for having been asked to continue with the show. If I am still wanted as an actor on daytime, it is all because of YOU, the FANS.
I am so very grateful for your support. To have had the opportunity to be a part of an innovative experience that strived to keep American soaps alive via a new medium, to be a part of the continuing fabric of your lives through daytime storytelling, and to be able to work with dear friends who I’ve known all my life was a very special experience for which I have you to thank. So THANK YOU for all the cheering, love, and support, daytime family. You’ve been AWESOME.”
What do you think of Cady McClain’s statement? Are you sad today with the news coming from actors from AMC? Are you happy that at least we got an attempt at a revival of the series since ABC canceled it? Do you think the show will return perhaps still down the line? Share your thoughts below!
So sad to here this.(and we didn’t get to see
tad and Dixie together) I had the feeling
This was coming and the end of soapnet
I enjoyed dvring old shows from oltl and
AMC.These shows have been important
Part of my life for 30yrs. Hard to say gbye.
I will never forgive ABC. And their current
Daytime programming is awful! My soaps will be on my heart forever.
I no longer blame ABC who originally canceled both AMC and OLTL…both shows had an amazing 40 plus year run…not many soaps are so lucky…PP made a good effort to revive these soaps…however, no matter what GH wrote for Todd, Starr, and John PP shouldve never started that stupid lawsuit since they went forward anyway with what GH had done with those characters…they wouldve had a better chance of keeping OLTL alive and as GHs ratings grew that might have drawn more viewers to the reboot if GH and them came to a mutual agreement to do crossovers…also, when the both amc and oltl went on hiatus PP shouldve rented their studio to other entetainment industries who couldve used the sets for commercials and other entetaiment uses…it might have broght in some money to help keep the reboots going…also ABC shouldve aired the 30 min. serials with PP producing them…they couldve aired 6 months a year then repeated 6 months knda like they did years ago with the syndicated soap ‘Mary Hartman’. Maybe silly and pointless but i wouldve tried anything!
OK, I HAD SOME TROUBLE WITH THE KEYBOARD!!! LOL
Yes, I’m extremely saddened by the News, and greatly dissapointed that Prospect Park won’t even comment. We’ve been hearing the rumors for weeks on end, and yet, we were all hoping for a better outcome. I love Cady as Dixie and I love Debbi Morgan as Dr. Angie, it’s just sad. They are like old friends to all of us – people you watch every day and become a part of your daily routine. The on-line inceptions weren’t perfect and needed some work, but I think we were all willing to go along for the ride. Surely they deserved a longer chance to attract viewers than the relatively short time they were revived. It certainly has been a rocky roller coaster year for the many fans of the
iconic ALL MY CHILDREN.
One last note: ABC-TV should consider bringing it back as a half hour show as a
lead-in to General Hospital.
ABC WILL NEVER BRING BACK AMC OR OLTL. LETS JUST MOVE IN. PP ARE. LOSERS AND PLAYED GAMES WITH ALL OF US’ FROM THE START. ABC AND PP CAN ROT IN HELL.
I meant lets just move on. lol.
Although I am extremely upset, and think PP has the worst communications of any organization, that we the fans who did everything we could to help deserve more- I don’t hate them as much as ABC. They tried to bring our soaps back to us and I absolutely adored their AMC (though not so much their version of OLTL, though I loyally watched it too, hoping for improvement). I assume they couldn’t afford to go on– but we the loyal fans deserved to know what was happening. To know that they were trying to secure funding. To be asked to write to x and y and z to help them. Instead we get no communication, which is disrespect. ABC …. I will not watch anything but GH on ABC daytime and I watch one or two shows at night. But everytime they cancel one of my shows, I do not give the replacement a chance. I loved watching AMC on my computer. The production values and “picture” were better than on my TV and I could watch anywhere.
yep
What class acts both Debbi and Cady are! They have such respect for the fans that they have always communicated with us, both in reporting great news/updates and now, the dreaded final nail in the coffin. I applaud PP for bringing back both shows but also feel they were in over their heads. The revenue stream just wasn’t there to sustain both shows financially. PP made sound decisions on one hand and head scratching decisions on the other. In any event, it’s a sad day for everyone involved. The actors yes, but the fans who have had the carpet yanked once again.
I totally agree with most of what you said. And I loved especially the online AMC. But PP has the worst communication skills of any organization . They did not show respect to the fans by not keeping us informed at all. Instead of the MORE show, they should have communicated MORE. My heart has been broken again. However I do thank PP for trying, but hate them for their lack of communication/respect for the fans. We did all we could so that sponsors could see that people would watch. I did all I could to get people to watch. I had some friends who were afraid of getting their hearts broken again. Their decisions I agree with you about. It’s a very sad day. I really can’t believe it. In my heart of hearts I have not yet accepted it . Debbi and Cady should have been running PP’s PR department.
the writing was clearly on the wall for me when thorsten kaye went to b&b to take over the role of ridge forrester …………..wow – i watched amc from the day it started and i am so sad to see it end this way…………..
McClain is one of the finest actors out there. This woman shouldn’t be blogging and uploading silly Facebook videos, she should be balls against the walls on some TV program, whether it be daytime or primetime!
Cady is always so nice and straight to the point. prospect park are losers and flakes. grow some balls and tell us what’s going on. i don’t trust prospect park, what comes of there lying filthy mouth. enough is enough already. rip again amc and Oltl.
I agree with everything you said. But lying yes, filthy no. Basically their lying, silent mouth as they were the worst communicators in history. They said they would tell us, but they told us nothing. Cady and others should have been running their communications. And.. to not even tell actors what was going on. That’s why people like Thorston Kaye, who have to make a living, took other jobs.
At least they should have tied up loose ends and given us a happy ending.
Sadly, you can add the RIP back to All My Children and One Life To Live.
Still wondering what was up with Billy Clyde – was he on the up and up with his redemption?
Who is Celia’s guardian? Why didn’t he/she reveal sooner?
Do Celia and Pete end up together?
Do Miranda and AJ end up together?
Do Heather and Hunter end up together?
Do Brooke and Adam get re-married – FINALLY?
Did Jane have a story? Dr. Anders? Dimitri?
Would Cass forgive herself for her actions?
Would Jessie catch Uri? Would he bring him to justice lawfully?
How would Dr. David react when he finds out he has a living offspring?
Will Cara end up with Dr. David?
Does JR continue to unravel again or would Tad’s presence in town help to settle him?
Alas, we may never know. 🙁
And to tell you the truth, it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten some of the storylines and I did watch each and every episode on line. I wasn’t that crazy about the Celia and Petey storyline, but hey, that’s all right I’m sure there are younger viewers out there who enjoyed it. But the point is, Soaps don’t have “seasons” they are a separate genre from other types of televised programs. You invest your time in a soap, the characters become like daily friends, you can’t just say, see you in six months, it doesn’t work that way.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder if Agnes Nixon has any public comment about
all this? Also, Jill Larson hasn’t commented on this and I know that many actors actually re-located to Connecticut just to do this project, and to think that it’s just over, just like that – the whole “On Line Network” page – I’m just baffled and bewildered by the whole thing ~ but of course, I guess, it was a huge undertaking and I guess it just was too difficult to sustain financially (?) – I don’t know, I guess we can all speculate till the cows come home but until Prospect Park offers some type of explanation we never will know for sure what went wrong.
HAHAHA
What actions would Cass have to forgive herself for????
If only they could have had one more season, even if only to tie up those loose ends. Your questions are fabulous- very well stated.
I am truly sorry it did not work out, now all those naysayers who said it would not work is problay gloating. I seriously doubt anyone will try to revive it again after this, I will truly miss this amazing show that I have watched since Greg & Jenny fell in love.
I feel the same way. It could have worked. Maybe they needed someone like donald trump (who I dislike but he has lots of money) as a backer. I’m afraid of the naysayers will be bragging too. But i do feel it could have worked given more time for more word of mouth. And too many were too stupid to watch on their computer. In time I feel it would have been successful. Especially their version of AMC which I loved.
Just cancelled my Hulu Plus. I told them it had nothing at all to do with their service but that I was cancelling because my soaps were cancelled. I’m disappointed and was holding out hope that at the very least AMC would return. Such a shame, as I really enjoyed both AMC and OLTL on Hulu.
I think it is very sad that it failed but PP handled the whole thing so badly it was doomed from the beginning. It also was a very expensive undertaking trying to pay so many big name stars with hardly any advertising. So many actors put their career on hold for the past year. I am glad the 3 that found perminent employment on GH are still working
Cady is a class act. I however am not. PP played the soap fans like a fiddle following in the footsteps of Disney and ABC. Too bad TPTB at PP and TOLN didn’t have the balls to admit AMC & OLTL were canceled months ago. That would have been the decent thing to do for the actors and everyone that worked on these two iconic soaps. An unemployment check doesn’t cut it. I really don’t want to hear PP say how they really tried to save AMC & OLTL. I am thoroughly disgusted!
I totally agree. So unfair to the actors- and the fans deserved more as well. I am disgusted and very sad.
I wish Netflix would do AMC and OLTL – maybe in a weekly venue. They’d be XXX, they’d have great stories, we’d still have our people, and Netflix would have an immediate audience. And would certainly gain more. It breaks my heart to really have to say goodbye. But I missed Zach and Kendall, and various and sundry other characters…but then, that’s the life with a soap and a real life. 🙂
I am sad that the show isn’t coming back as of now, and I think Cady and Debbi are wonderful spokespeople for AMC, which is something PP should have taken care of on its own. I have to admit that I hadn’t wanted AMC to come back when PP first announced it was putting it online late last year. I’d been happy with the ending on ABC and felt it was very respectful and fulfilling. Unfortunately, alot of my concerns about PP undoing some of the good which we’d seen on the ABC finale did come true, and I don’t think AMC was as good as alot of critics made it out to be. But still, I’m very sad that alot of stories are unresolved. That didn’t have to be. That said, I do think that you never know what the future has in store. Just as I was surprised last year when PP said it was bringing AMC back, I can see me being surprised at some point down the road when someone else decides to bring AMC back, or wrap up AMC’s open stories somewhere, somehow. It could happen. I’m glad Cady is considering that very possibility in her statement.
I feel that I have lost a very good friend for the second time. I do not blame tha guys that tried to bring it back to us in fact I applaud them and Hoover ! The only company that tried to help us, the fans keep One Life to Live and All My Children. They tried to give us the fans what we wanted. It was ABC and the Rat that decided the American way that the almighty dollar is the bottom line and the fans can go to h’ll. It has really changed the way I view TV now. I just cancelled my Hulu Plus as there is no good reason to have a streaming media group that has commercials. I will keep Netflix for now so as to have a variety to watch without interuptions. As for ABC and Disney with the exception of General Hospital I no longer support either one of them.
Sounds like we will see it again but in a different format. This may or may not be good news. I am ready to move on and invest my time in Y&R . If AMC does come back, I will watch. Thanks PP for all your hard work. Hope to see more AMC actors on Y&R.
Last time PP needed to change all they told us;
The soaps were being suspended..
We heard nothing more for an year, thought they were dead and gone, and surprise, the soaps were back..
This time PP said;
” AMC won’t be going back online this year, or in this particular incarnation.”
Read that carefully.. – I still feel PP is silently trying to bring them to cable ..
time will tell .. ((PP works in silence …
I hope you are right… but I think that is Cady talking with her intuition, not any PP . I think they don’t communicate at all— with us or the actors. But I so hope you are right. I think she is thinking maybe someone else would try it . Maybe Netflix, HBO, who knows? But I hold out less hope than last time. And I don’t think the fans will support PP again, afraid of having the carpet pulled from beneath their feet again. But I so hope you are right.
What idiots and their silence.
No more this is ridiculous. The rest should be cancelled too, they ain’t so great.
You have the right to your opinion but you dont belong on this site if you think the other soaps are bad…and if you ‘REALLY’ think that then why would you watch them…you have to be watching to think they are all bad…unless you are just trying to get a response to see how many of us are dumb enough to answer back, and you have a winner because im dumb enough to do it!!!
Please just shut up. you are very annoying. jim h i will not take your bs anymore. you need to get a life.
Annoying…i guess we got somethin in common…lol
Prospect Park is not giving up, they are not quitters..
PP has built a studio, a huge studio to produce the soaps..
That studio was big millions to put out to produce the soaps.
PP put out more millions on building sets, and cameras, all the equipment needed to produce the soaps..
they fought Unions and therefore created new standard for the internet..
They gathered up most all the stars available from both soaps..
PP fought and finally brought the soaps back, a job very well done!!
Both soaps were in the top most popular on both HuLu and iTunes..
I believe PP will not throw the soaps to ruin, no way..
They will ‘SILENTLY’ attempt to bring them to cable..
It is now easier to get a cable network to take them on because of the great showing they had on the internet!!!
That will let the cable networks know that there is an audience for the soaps..
Also, now that PP has the studio and all needed to produce the soaps that is also very good and in their favor to get a cable network to take them on..
I believe we have not seen the last of our soaps, not yet..
the fat lady has not sung!!!
You are crazy or on drugs. prospect park are stupid pathetic idiots, who can’t tell the truth in what’s going on. they need to go away and grow some balls. lmao.
Su0000, I like the way you think. Now THAT is positive thinking!
That’s not a nice thing to say about Oprah just because she isn’t producing the shows….uh…that WAS what you meant wasn’t it….oh..sorry, never mind.
One can hope.The news last year was a pleasant surprise.
Oh, how i hope you are right!
They need to just make a one big AMC movie,tie up all the loose ends and then just have some major catastrophe that knocks off all the villians and skanks of Pine Valley,never to be seen again,period,this is the way to end a show. Take it out with a BANG.
the five years jump was a big nono
I am sad to hear this. I had high hopes. I do wish if they are truly going to end AMC, that they would complete the story lines that are still up in the air.
I am honestly glad it’s over. The torture of wishing and hoping is just too much. Getting my hopes up to AGAIN have them crushed is too much. I love these characters like old friends. For 30 + years I shared their happiness, sadness! excitement, devastation! and every other emotion. I laughed, cried, yelled, applauded with them everyday. It’s cruel to keep giving us hope and then ripping it away from us. I will once again go through the grieving process of losing these people again and move on. Good luck to all the actors and thank you for the memories!!!!
Interesting to note that today (November 11) marks the 25th anniversary of Cady’s first airdate in the role of “Dixie Cooney” replacing Kari Gibson who originated the role a few months earlier.
Some very good posts here! And others…wow! Really??? You have called the Prospect Park people losers..and flakes….and even wishd they would rot in hell. Seriously??? These are people who have been working tirelessly non stop for over 2 years to keep these two shows alive in some way. They built a production facility…got the show on some cable channels…how does this make them losers??? Imay be an optimist but I think there is something in the works. Possibly with OWN or some other network or format. I think that’s why they have not and are not making a statement…they are not ready to concede defeat but can’t say anything definitively yet. If these shows are over…I think it is just time to say good bye. The fight has been fought…we got them back for a while…it was nice but not the same….and at the end of the day…they are just shows. There are hundreds of shows and thousands of channels. These shows had historic runs of 40 plus years and that is nothing to be sad or angry or upset about. All shows come to an end. Except The Simpsons apparently.
Sad to hear that the shows are not returning but not shocking at all. Prospect Park mismanaged this from the beginning. Now the shows are gone again.
ABC is not going to bring the shows back. They have had very good ratings as of alte with The Chew and GH.
Interestingly enough I believe if the shows stop being produced by Prospect Park that hte rights revert back to ABC. I wonder if that means GH would bring back Todd, Starr, and Mcbain if that is the case. Just a thought that I am show would please some and upset others.
Funny, during the day at 1:00 p.m., I still remember watching AMC on ABC. I didn’t watch much the last decade because the show had changed; but, I do have fond memories of being younger and watching throughout the 80’s and 90’s. I wish the old episodes would be broadcast more. It was something new to try, putting it on the web. I didn’t watch it; but, I am guessing it just didn’t have the same “feel.” I still dislike The Chew, which took the place of AMC on ABC. I’m sure it’s a great show and I just haven’t given it much of a chance…
I always said we only won the battle, not the war. Time to suit up….
Could different format mean focussing on one family group? Less actors and sets could save a lot of money. Other actors would just be seen occasionally, not as regulars. Just a thought…
Will Bianca ever find her happiness and love? Answer left hanging.
so sad to hear this i was really getting back into both soaps i been watching for 40 yrs….smh if they can jus get back to daytime t.v. on local channels im sure it will b a success….although own network was working out pretty good for me….we jus need our 1oclock & 2oclock slot back…..im still keeping hope alive……smh

‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
