Kim Delaney on All My Children Primetime Reboot: “All They Have To Do Is Ask, and I’m There”
While Kim Delaney is currently appearing on General Hospital in the role of Jackie Templeton, and she just appeared in her new Lifetime movie, The Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother’s Hunt of Justice, the actress revealed she would be up for appearing in the upcoming primetime revival in development of All My Children.
Delaney became soap-famous in the role of AMC’s Jenny Gardner from 1981-1984 before she was killed-off the show in the now iconic jet ski explosion.
Now even though Jenny died, Kim would be up for figuring out how the character could be resurrected or how she could take part in the primetime reboot of the ABC soap opera called, Pine Valley.
In an interview with Soaps.com, Kim shared on being part of the reboot: “All they have to do is ask, and I’m there. Sure, Jenny died, but someone asked me the other day if we ever saw her body. So maybe she’s out there, somewhere… ”
Former All My Children stars and real-life duo, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are executive producers of Pine Valley along with Andrew Stearn.
So, would you like to see an alive and well Jenny Gardner, or some other role for Delaney, in the All My Children reboot? Comment below.
I don’t feel she has added anything to GH. Wish they would have kept Julian and Neil instead.
So true. Perfectly said
Yes definitely!
I highly doubt they’d consider a back from dead character from 40 years ago. It doesn’t seem like the Martin/Gardener clans are a major part of the planned series. Didn’t Ripa say the primary focus would be the next generation of Santos and Kane families?
Delaney is doing a fine job in Port Charles. Lots of story potential for Jackie. I’m sure prime time May call again, but it likely won’t be Pine Valley.
Yes, we saw Jenny’s body. It is a soap. Anything can happen.
As I recall, Greg said good by to Jenny in the hospital after the accident, so there was definitely a body.
Yes, was great and now stay tuned
She definitely was a favorite, one of the reasons I started watching. YES, BRING HER BACK!
Yes I would definitely want her character to come back in some way.
I would prefer ABC would leave Kim Delaney alone let Kim Delaney do her role as Jackie Templeton on General Hospital and forget about the All My Children reboot I would like Kim Delaney make Jackie Templeton her own role on General Hospital as an investigative reporter on Port Charles We need and appreciate Kim Delaney Kim Delaney is a an inspiration to General Hospital and to Port Charles as Jackie Templeton Please keep Kim Delaney on General Hospital and Jackie Templeton in Port Charles as an investigative reporter Kim Delaney is very valuable actress and her role as Jackie Templeton to General Hospital Please Keep this Talented actress Kim Delaney on General Hospital
Yes, bring Jenny back! Loved her character.
I agree bring her and Greg back!!
Next to Luke an Laura Greg an Jenny were the next best great love story of the 70’$ and their story ended way to soon…It was actually Jennys twin sister that was put up for adoption by opal as tad was that died on that jet ski that horrible day for all AMC fans!!!
I would like to see the resurrection of Jenny Gardner!!!
Soaps and Comic Books have one mutual rule, “No body, not dead”. Jenny died before I started to watch but if they brought Tad back with an amnesia storyline. Also they had Angelique, Dimitri’s wife, and Nina on GH in a coma for decades why not Jenny? Even if there was a body there are always ways to get around that too.
Whether they bring Jenny back (I don’t see a reason to) or not, what CENTURY is this show supposed to start? They announced in 2020 just around Christmas time that this new PINE VALLEY was ‘very real’ and a done deal – then, I realize of course that the horrible Pandemic struck and that slowed things down considerably – but the details since the announcement have been very vague and sketchy. So what’s the deal? Has a pilot been ordered – Susan Lucci said that the News about the show was “leaked” but that the word is out and there has been movement in going forward – so, what’s the latest word?

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.
