Alan Dysert, who played Sean Cudahy on ABC’s All My Children has died. He was 75-years-old. The news of his passing came from his wife Michele who shared via a Facebook post that Dysert died back on October 23.
“My heart is broken as I share that my beloved husband, Alan, passed away on October 23, 2026. While I am struggling to imagine life without him, I am forever grateful to have experienced what so many people spend their lives searching for — the love of a lifetime,” Michele expressed.
While a cause of death was not made public at this time, Michele admitted that Alan, “faced more than his share of health challenges over the years, yet he continued to approach life with determination, humor, and gratitude.”

Dysert wrote about his battle with a rare, aggressive and incurable cancer in his 2023 autobiography, Lights, Camera, Cancer! He spoke of having undergone four major cancer-related surgeries, and many rounds of chemotherapy and CT scans.
SEAN CUDAHY WAS ‘BAD GUY’ PERSONFIED
On All My Children, Dysert played Sean Cudahy, the con man villain to his brother, good guy, Tom Cudahy played by Richard Shoberg. Dysert played the role between 1980 and 1990 returning for multiple story arcs, which included being revealed to be the murderer of Sybil Thorne. He was also involved in several affairs including with the impressionable Devon McFadden (Tricia Pursley).
THE LIVES HE TOUCHED
Alan’s longtime agent Melinda Eisnagule told PEOPLE his death is a “loss to our community and to the acting community at large. He touched so many lives and made the industry and the world a better place every day with his positive energy and kindness.”
Dysert leaves behind his wife, Michele and his two sons Cody and Cooper and will be remembered by those who knew him for a career that spanned the theatre, film, TV and performance coaching, and of course being a part of the legacy of All My Children.

Mark Consuelos Celebrates Kelly Ripa’s 56th Birthday on ‘Live,’ But Remember When Wendy Williams Outed the Couple as Married Before Anyone at ‘All My Children’ Knew?
On the Friday, October 2 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the morning talk show marked the 56th birthday of Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos, All My Children).
During the opening segment, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos, All My Children) humorously comparing his wife to both Gandhi and Groucho Marx, reflecting on both her comedic ability and peaceful ways.
Later, they went on to discuss the origins of her name and the most popular picks to name babies back in the year she was born, 1970. They were Kimberly, Lisa, and Jennifer for girls and Michael, David, and James for the boys.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Ripa recalled that she learned she was almost named Kim. However, their neighbors at the time had two daughters Kelly and Kim, which is what her parents wanted to call them, but they settled on Kelly and and her younger sister, Linda.
At the conclusion of the episode, Mark rolled out a huge cake for his wife. It was, “Happy birthday from all of us here at Live and at home.” Next, he cut the cake, and Ripa grabbed his face and gave him a “thank you” kiss.

KELLY AND MARK TRIED TO KEEP THEIR VEGAS WEDDING ON THE DOWN LOW
All of this brings back memories of how Kelly and Mark’s Las Vegas wedding ceremony went public in 1996 while the two were still on All My Children playing Mateo Santos and Hayley Vaughan. In essence, they were outed by then radio host Wendy Williams! They discussed it on the talk show back in 2024.
In fact, the duo hid their marriage from their All My Children castmates for months, until they found out Williams got wind of the nuptials and spread the intel on the airwaves.
The two recalled their secret wedding on a 2024 episode of Live! “We’d eloped. It’d been a few months at that point. We’d been married for three months, nobody at All My Children knew we were even dating, much less married to each other. We’re brushing our teeth and we’ve got Wendy Williams’ radio show on. We’re listening, and she’s like, ‘I’ve got celebrity dish!”
EYEWITNESS
Next Ripa continued, “The celebrities,’ I guess they had a broad use of the term back then, was the fact that ‘two soap stars from All My Children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eloped in Las Vegas.’ There was this eyewitness that worked in the Clark County courthouse that said we eloped, and the news broke, and we had to tell everybody we were married.”
Live With Kelly and Mark airs weekdays in syndication. Check your local listings for times in your area.
Share your birthday wishes for Kelly in the comment section, and let us know your thoughts on how Wendy Williams broadcast the news, unbeknownst to the All My Children newlyweds, that they tied the knot in Vegas? Check out Mark and the ‘Live’ studio audience singing ‘happy birthday’ to Kelly in the post below.

As well, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos confirmed they will make brief appearances on-screen; one could assume as Hayley and Mateo Santos.
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos to the LA Times. “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 first thing that popped out : Eve, from Days of OUR Lives : press it girl… with LOVE
it’s Kassie DePaiva
Sharon Case should of been in the running best actress lead
I think Sharon Case should have been nominated too.
Sharon Case on YR was snubbed. Not fair
The Emmy ceremony is two DAYS after the return of Eve! I hope Kassie DePaiva is well received!!! I also hope there will be a big mention of Eileen’s return!!! The STORM is brewing!!!
*four days after.
The great General Hospital is not included.. ”snubbed.
I will not watch, boycott in way I guess is what it is.. So not wasting a nice day on them..
And besides GH would be the only soap I’d really care about..
I will be reading the winners and loser for a month on the boards/sites whichever after anyways,..
They weren’t snubbed. Better read the article again 🙂
You’re not going to watch, su000? I am sure they will be utterly devastated to learn of your boycott.
Harry, I agree!!
The awards will most likely halt until I tune in .. lol
Thing is; these are not soap opera awards, only..
there will a ton of talk and game show stuff I never watch to care about them..
I have never watched B&B or DOOL and no GH to speak of, so that leaves Y&R for what I watch and I won’t sit through hours of talk and game show awards for Y&R….
and I am seriously thinking of dumping Y&R and giving DOOL a try.. Exciting huh..
Anyways.. we will be bombarded with the winning clips and pic etc, so no need for me to sit through it all .. lol
I hope you enjoy it, Harry and that the winners are your picks/likes..
(make pop corn and have a fun watching!
Sounds good enough to me…just wish stars from cancelled soaps were included!!!
I agree with you.
Me as well, Jim. I really miss Michael Knight.
I miss him too…i miss amcs Tad the cad, Liza, Jenny, Greg…hell, i miss them all and many other fondly remembered stars from several other long cancelled soaps!
@JimH
THAT’s a NICE and Lovely thought
I long for the days when ATWT, AW, GL, walked the red carpet and we celebrated with SO much more
Christina Crawford would be great! Are you familiar with “The Secret Storm”? Her mother stepped in for her when she was on sick leave!
I know about Joan Crawford, and The Secret Storm. Former daytime star Jada Rowland started on the show as a young child Amy Ames and was on and off the show til the very end…they never aged her character…she then replaced Carolee Cambell as Carolee Aldrich on The Doctors serial and stayed in the part til the shows end in the early 1980s. For many years The Doctors was a top soap sandwiched between DOOLs and AW!
GH has two presenters like the other show (expect Y&R which has three). GH may of not gotten series, writing, directing but it still has SEVERAL nominations.
They had the third most nominations after Y&R and B&B–but it seems most people only care about the “big” categories—but in the end like I always say, viewers are the winners because we get to enjoy the talents of many people day in and day out.
So pleased to see Guy and Freddie from days up there! I wonder what award they are presenting as neither of them were nominated this year! Its a travesty that Freddie wasn’t nominated this year!
Good list. I love Lisa LoCicero, glad she’ll be presenting.
Will it be shown on tv this year? At first I heard yes, then no. Anyone know?!
No. GH getting snubbed didn’t help either.
I would have liked to have seen as presenters, Luke Geary, Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott added to the mix.
Will the Daytime Emmy Awards be televised this year?
No. The show gets such low ratings and with GH being snubbed in the major categories and advertisers worried that GH fans who bring in the advertising demo won’t tune in, no one wants to carry it.
There’s the million dollar question!
Maybe shown online after the fact? How sad the Daytime Emmy Awards have sunk to such low regard.
Well Guy Wilons acting skills are still not there, guess we can see now how well he does reading off a TelePrompTer.
are these awards televised or something so we can see??
Be neat for Guy to present the emmy to Chandler. He will probably be presenting another category though.
I dunno but sounds very dull to me..
Daytime TV has ALL talk and games show is those emmies from ALL the networks….
there are only 3 just 3 soaps..
I would not care to sit through all the talk and game shows stuff, not at all..
The daytime emmy soap winners videos will be all over soap land after to view ……
good luck to all nominated!!
Your a very negative person SuOOOOOO
Kim.. I’m very positive.. I do not watch game and talk shows nor B&B or DOOL, could give a hoot over Y&R wins to sit through hours of awards for them ..
And- that makes me a time saver! giving me that time for a long peaceful walk 🙂
I will hear about and see clips/videos for GH awards, after.. I will miss nothing .. lol
That would be four soaps but who’s counting?
LOL thanks Harry!! apparently I was not counting but! you did very well lol .. 🙂
Fitting that the emmy’s won’t be televised since GH got robbed! Best show on daytime! No question! What a joke. They should just give up on the ceremony. The nomination process is ridiculous! Why do so many actors get snubbed whenever they have a stellar year just to be nominated the following year when the material doesn’t compare to the previous eligibility period? One example would be Kelly Sullivan. Last year she submitted her rape and multiple personality scenes which were phenomenal and got shut out. This year her scenes paled in comparison and she gets the nod. The Emmy’s are DOA. Dump em!
I’m fine with these presenters for the Creative Arts Emmys on June 20th.However i’m wondering who the presenters will be at the Daytime Emmys on June 22nd.
I think Michael Muhney(Adam) of Y&R should have been nominated. Y&R gave him a raw deal. He deserved Best Actor, but wasn’t even nominated. So sad, they fired him just before Christmas, he has a wife and 3 small children. What a Christmas present. He was accused of a few things, non proven or talked about since. He wasn’t even given a fair chance to prove these things wrong. Not to proud of Y&R and there producer.
I was hoping Michael Easton and Roger Howarth would present since they weren’t nominated as much as they deserved it. GH and many GH actors were robbed this year! I hope Jason and some of the others win. Mostly, I wish it would get a network to televise it! Step up CBS! You got all the noms and have the most soaps!
So, I didn’t see where it was going to be televised…..What’s up with that? Am I missing something?
Years ago the daytime Emmy Awards were a big deal and the soaps were a big deal. The soap awards seem almost meaningless, how can you nominate four shows when there are only four soaps on the air. This event has dropped tremendously in importance over the years.
Way I see it;
The 4 soaps will get overshadowed by a slew of talk and game shows emmy nominations from ALL the networks..
The poor soaps are slipped in among them all ..
I partly agree, but in the end these awards began and always were an inside industry way to recognize outstanding work, whether in front or behind the camera. Other industries have such awards, most are not televised or hold any interest for the general public, but I am sure the importance for those who are being honored is still there.
Honestly, I think all award shows should be private affairs over the years they became less and less about the work and more and more about who is attending and what are they wearing— I stopped watching all of them saved the Oscars, my one indulgence, but after this year’s snooze fest I might give up on that one too.
The Emmy ceremonies are to be held on Friday night, June 20th !
That gives a network around 35 days days to arrange all the fanfare for it to air, not possible if it will be worth watching..
Thing is;
No Network even wants to air the Day Time Emmies..
Seems it is not worth their time and effort to hold/sponder the emmies..
I think Sharon Case should have been nominated too. She’s been doing great job!
I am excited to see the talented Jessica Carlton of Green Screen Adventures listed among the presenters. She is one to watch in the years ahead.
Gone are the real daytime Emmys, when it was full of clips of the 10 soaps on air. It started becoming a treat to see a clip, or even have a host that had SOMETHING to do with soaps! Now that nobody wanted to air it, they will finally load up on the soap stars to present all the awards, including the two cancelled at same time, & left only 3 & a half soaps? #Toolittletoolate Happy for the stars to shine that night, sad for soap fans. Will NEVER forgive ABC/D!
