Everyone loved All My Children’s Jenny Gardner played by then soap opera newcomer, Kim Delaney. And after Kim left the world of soaps, she went on to a career on primetime television most notably on NYPD Blue as Diane Russell.

Well, in news this week, Delaney has signed on to reprise the character in the revival of the series in development over at ABC. This is the role that Kin won a Primetime Emmy for her work back in 1997 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

According to TV Line, what we do know about the pilot; it will center on the son of Detective Sipowicz, who is working in the 15th squad and trying to earn his detective shield while investigating the murder of his father. However Emmy winner, Dennis Franz, who played the Sipowicz, will not be joining on to the reboot.

The pilot will be helmed by notable executive producers: Matt Olmstead (Chicago Fire), Nick Wootton (Scorpion), and Jesse Bochco (Murder in the First), who is the son of the late NYPD Blue co-creator, Steven Bochco.

Jesse Bochco, will direct the pilot, which is being considered for a potential fall season 2019 launch or possible next year midseason. NYPD Blue aired originally for a 12-year-run from 1993 to 2005 on ABC.

I think I’ll do a wait and see on this one. I did like her on NYPD and for the short time she was on CSI Miami. I’m happy to see Bill Bochtrup has also signed on but my overall favourites were the ever unpopular David Caruso and the wonderful Dennis Franz.

I agree about David Caruso. I loved him. Dennis Franz too. I liked Ricky Schroeder but the writers ruined his character.

As a fan of NYPD Blue, this discussion caught my eye and I am thrilled to learn about it! I thought I’d make my comments in reply to you, Celia, as I know we’ve been out of touch for a while — I’m the one with very sporadic visits… Glad to see that you were also a fan of this show! I did watch every episode. Like @GramS, I am disappointed that Dennis Franz won’t be a part of this. Same apparently goes for David Caruso. But I liked the entire cast, and I am hopeful to see many others… Read more »

Hi, James,
Good to hear from you….I’ve missed all of you….I’ve missed our chats–life happens….Ive been subbing more oft than not—no school today, though!!
I can’t say I don’t enjoy it, because I do—I try to work around my daughter’s schedule ( pre-school).
She’ll be in school full-time come fall….so, I will, most likely, teach full-time again–
Agreed, my friend—-I’ve always loved Kim Delaney —-I remember watching in my dorm room —the care-free days, James, LOL.
I wish you the best 2019, as well, my friend.❤️

Thanks for your warm reply, Celia! 🙂

Regarding NYPD Blue, I hope to see unsung hero, Medavoy (Gordon Clapp), in this reboot. And Kim Delaney has always been a fan favorite.

So glad to hear that all is going well with you! And that you’re enjoying teaching. I also fondly remember “care-free days,” Celia, and I try to recapture them whenever I can, and I will try to stop by here on occasion, too. Again, best to you and your family! Take care, Friend!

I’m wondering what position Diane Russel will be playing. She should be the captain

Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa & Ryan Seacrest at The Oscars, as Consuelos Reveals First Airdate as Co-Host on ‘Live’

March 13, 2023

If you caught Sunday night’s 95th annual Academy Awards, you saw former All My Children alums, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) and Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley) walk the Oscars red carpet along with Ryan Seacrest.

Clearly, the trio was on-hand to not only promote Monday morning’s Live with Kelly and Ryan’s Oscar post-show, but the upcoming hand-off when Seacrest steps away from the show, and Consuelos takes his spot as co-host of ‘Live’ alongside his wife.

During, ABC’s The Red Carpet Live: Countdown to Oscars 95, Seacrest expressed that his upcoming departure is “bittersweet.” While Consuelos revealed his first airdate in the co-hosting chair.

Mark shared: “I am so excited, I start the show on April 17, which is a Monday, and I could not be more honored and excited.”

However, Seacrest and Consuelos made it clear, that Ryan still has a few key weeks to go on ‘Live’ before his final exit.

So, are you looking forward to seeing Ryan leave ‘Live’ and Mark as his replacement? Do you think the husband and wife chemistry between Kelly and Mark will work long-term as co-hosts? Comment below.

Ryan Seacrest Exits ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’ as Mark Consuleos Becomes New Co-Host

February 16, 2023

In a surprise announcement, Ryan Seacrest is stepping down from his gig as co-host of the popular morning talk show, Live with Kelly and Ryan.

He revealed the decision on today’s episode. With Seacrest departing, it was also announced that Kelly’s husband and former All My Children star as well, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) will be joining the show in the co-host spot.

With Consuelos coming on to the series, the show will be renamed, Live with Kelly and Mark. However, Seacrest shared he would return as a guest co-host from time to time.

Apparently, Seacrest and Ripa knew this day was coming for awhile, including last year, as they had several internal discussions between them. However, Ryan revealed it was a tough decision to make. Seacrest had spent much of his time simply commuting from his home base in Los Angeles to New York to host the show.

Ripa shared on Thursday’s show that with her real-life husband, Mark Consuleos, now being her new co-host, that it would be “the nation’s weirdest social experiment.” But in seriousness, she added, that she felt Mark was the only person capable of holding Seacrest’s torch the way he held it.

After his six years on ‘Live’, Seacrest will still be the co-host for a few more months and plans to return to Los Angeles full-time when the new season of American Idol, in which he hosts, starts its live shows. ‘Idol’ is about to start its 21st season with the first episode airing this Sunday, February 19th on ABC.

Live with Kelly and Ryan is currently the No. 1 daytime talk show in total viewers and women 25-54.

Watch Ryan’s announcement below.

Now let us know, what do you think of Mark joining Kelly as the new co-host of ‘Live’? Sad to see Ryan go? Comment below,

Kelly Ripa Launches Podcast on SiriusXM

February 1, 2023

Former All My Children stars Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) can add launching a podcast to their extensive resume through their production company, Milojo Productions, and Sirius XM.

According to Deadline, Ripa will host Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, where she will have in-depth conversations with celebrity guests. Depending on the subject matter, a specialist or expert could also join the episode to provide insight.

In a statement on her new hosting gig and show, Ripa expressed: “After 23 years of interviewing celebrities, authors, musicians and experts on live TV, the big takeaway is that the most compelling and unfiltered conversations happen off camera. I have dreamed of a platform where I can have these honest talks without all the fuss and filter of a camera. Now SiriusXM has made my dream a reality with a podcast featuring friends, both old and new, discussing a variety of topics we all face in life, while getting deep with some experts’ views and advice along the way. Not another podcast, this is off camera!”

New episodes of Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa will be available every week on Stitcher, the SXM App, and all major podcast listening platforms beginning in March.

Kelly will be quite busy co-hosting the syndicated talk show Live with Kelly and Ryan, in addition to Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa.

So, will you check out Kelly’s new podcast? Hope she has some All My Children alum on as guests? Comment below.
