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.

Plus, a couple of my Broadway friends and a very well known Czech actress (Hana Vagnerova).”
According to Jacob, the production start date is April 1st.

IMDb has more on the film. It shared that former All My Children star Trent Garrett (ex-Asher Pike) is listed as co-directing the feature. Mark Rozzano is listed as writer of Murder Between Friends.

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Explains Where He Has Been, Sam is Emotional
Oh please bring them all back. I want Scott Chandler and Colby too.
I would love to see Jennifer Bassey, but would be even happier if David Canary returned. IMO he would be the biggest asset to the canvas!
Well, I would have to add Michael E. Knight would be up there with David Canary on my “must-have” list. Can’t forget Tad. He’s been my favorite since I started watching AMC.
At the end. The Chandlers and the Martins had but 2 or so left to carry on..
The core families were on the endangered species list ..
I wonder if and how they could be rebuilt..
They never used her enough, great character, great actress
Yes! Missed Marion so much when she was written off the canvas.
Marian, Adam, Stuart, Dixie, and Tad all need to come back to AMC!
Yes, but don’t bring back Jamie Luner as Liza!!!! Please try and bring back the one and only Marcy Walker. She is the one and only Liza in my book. And the chemistry that she had with Tad, Dixie, Marion and Adam was unbeatable.
Yeah but it seems Marcy is retired from acting, she’s big into her religion, I believe Christian. Maybe a recast Liza would help. People have mentioned Beth Chamberlain that played Beth on Guiding Light and I think she could be good. She definitely has the chops.
I agree!!
You know Blake, they should have given that role to Beth Ehlers when she came on AMC….she had good chemistry with Tad, but they blew her storyline to pieces and wasted her talent. And I’m from the school that on some characters, just don’t recast because it won’t work. Liza was played to a T by Marcy, so I just don’t think they should recast it.
The show would be boring without David and Stuart. Hope they bring him back, if they do, then I might think of watching again. And don’t forget Brook.
I hoped he was coming to.Someone had posted he was in bad heatlh.Hope its not true.Adam is the monarch of the family and Sturat the loveable one.
I did not think that David Canary wanted to return ~ but then again what would Pine Valley be without Adam Chandler – but we have to realize that these are NEW shows, a new inception of AMC – they will be introducing new characters I’m sure and some fans will like it and some may not – the soaps are being launched into unchartered waters and just how they will float is anybody’s guess (how’s that for poetry) ~
I miss hearing her say “Darling” in that breathy voice….Please bring back Marian!
stuart is a must have!! lol..
I hope we get to watch Jennifer Bassey…. Marion is GOLD.
At the “ending” of AMC….. it was the scenes with Marion and Stewart (coming back to life) that had me sobbing…. my favorite “ending” off…..
I’d like to salute and Commemorate the superlative…. ubber talent… Marcy Walker…. Liza….. Mother and Daughter ran with the gamut of emotions…. They transcended.
Marion and Stewarts’ loving relationship beamed….
Love just love David Canary.
Ms. Bassey is a wonderful actress and in the final months showed her comedy chops as well! Hope we will be seeing her!
I believe that means that David Canary will be on board. Julia Barr is rumored to be returning also, so with both of his leading ladies on board – he can’t be far behind. Also noticed we haven’t heard from Michael Knight or Susan Lucci yet.
I do understand this is a reboot and not all characters will be returned…but to start, you really must have Tad and Erica..
David Canary is just the best……..It won’t be the same if he doesn’t return. I love Tad……he needs to be with a woman that will love like he does. Hope Erica can get out of the contract she has and also that Kendall and Ryan will return.
I would love to see her back. She was once a major player on this show, and I would love to see them take Marion back to that.
OMG this is wonderful. I love Stuart and Marion, not to mention Adam! How can ya have All My Children without Adam Chandler LOL? Yes I know JR is coming back but Adam Chandler Jr is NO Adam Chandler Sr LOL…..
Glad JR iscoming back too.
Me too just wish it was JY, but maybe he can come back after his contract with the other show is up….Loved JY!
Does anyone know when it will be up and running? I’m having some fars that I may miss the beginning
Fears***
PP hasn’t announced it officially yet, but it looks like AMC will start shooting in late February-projected for a potential early April start
Can you see the first show now?????
Should never have been canceled in the first place. I am sick of cooking and eating shows.
I agree and your not alone if I want to see a cooking show I will turn on the Food Network LOL
I am sick and tired of cooking shows & eating shows like ‘The Taste”. Give me a break with that one. Yes all these cooking shows should be directed to the Food Network where they belong. Never watched one ever and never will. They
don’t interest me in the least. I rather go to my cooking book not these cooking
shows!
Yes, and yes! Let the fun begin!=)
