On Friday, Mark Consuelos (Ex-Mateo, AMC) was a guest on the CBS afternoon series, The Talk, where he shared his excitement and some insight into the upcoming All My Children primetime reboot, Pine Valley, in development at ABC..

As previously reported, Mark and his wife Kelly Ripa (Ex-Hayley, AMC) are two of the executive producers on the project.

Consuelos shared on the reboot:All My Children was such a big part of my life and my wife’s life. And you know, I met my wife there obviously, had kids, became a young man on that show, and we got the opportunity to reboot the primetime version and the idea was brought to us, and we’re so excited.  Of all the things that we’ve ever announced that we’re going to do, this is one of the biggest responses we’ve got from our fans. They’re so excited.  It’s a big piece of TV that’s been missing for such a long time, and we’re going to bring it back.”

When avid soap fan and The Talk co-host, Sheryl Underwood, posed a major question to Consuelos that has been on longtime All My Children fans minds, she got a solid response from him.

Sheryl was trying to get some tea on who might appear in the reboot, when she asked, “Is it going to be the Cortlandts and the Warners? Is it going to be everybody?” Consuelos then responded with: “I know they’re going to bring back some fan favorites, and it will take place in Pine Valley, and I’m really, really excited.”

You can watch a portion of Mark’s virtual visit on The Talk below.

I’m so excited! Can’t wait for more details. Looking forward to seeing who will be coming back to Pine Valley.

All of them!!! Can’t pick a favorite, loved them all!!!

can’t wait! All My Children was my favorite soap…and due to the places I lived during the last couple of years it was on …I missed the last two years of All My Children. I hope Erica and Tad will come back. Love you guys

Whoever is still alive!

I’d like to see Noah and julia back

Without Erica Kane, played by Susan Lucci, how can this show succeed? Why even try?

Yes it can. Erica would be greatly missed but the public misses ALL of Pine Valley not just it’s Queen.

I watched all the ABC soaps for decades, and if they bring the right characters back, I’ll most surely become a fan of “Pine Valley” when it makes it’s return. Can’t wait!

I’m so glad I miss all my children

Bring back Alicia Minshew and Thorsten Kaye! And of course Susan Lucci!

Well you know Thorsten Kaye has been in a leading role on The Bold and Beautiful for some years now, so I doubt that he would come back, but I sure do miss Zack and Kendall.

Jenny and Greg

I would like to see Tad Martin, His sister Jenny, Erica Kane Angie and Jessie

Also Kelly and her hubby Mark they were one of my favorote couples

I would likebto see Kelly and her hubby Mark love them together

The executive producer’s must bring back, Angie/Jessie Hubbard and their family, Brooke English, Benny Sago, Mimi Reed her daughter Dani and her father Derrick Frye, Terrence Frye, Tom and Livia Cudahy JR, Tad/Dixie Martin, Opal, Greenlee Smythe, and David Hayward just to name a few. We need an AMC Hulu reboot update the writers were on fire and proved certain characters were not needed for rich storylines.

I can’t wait til all my children comes back on. I really missed so many characters on that show. So excited.

Billy Miller Memorial Scholarship Endowment Created at His Alma Mater to Help Others ‘Realize Their Dreams’

Two months since three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor, Billy Miller passed away, the beloved All My Children (ex-Richie), General Hospital (ex-Jason/Drew) and The Young and the Restless (ex-Billy) star, will now have a permanent scholarship endowment in his honor at the University of Texas at Austin which was Miller’s alma mater.

Through the scholarship, it will be able to help radio/television and film undergraduate students with financial need. Billy’s family and friends have established this permanent scholarship in his memory, naming it the William Jon Miller II “Billy Miller” Memorial Scholarship. They hope the endowment will be a legacy to his life and love of acting.

Before becoming soap-famous, Billy graduated from the the university’s department of Radio-Television-Film (RTF) at the Moody College of Communication. On its official website, they shared the news of this special memorial scholarship and how Miller died at the age of 43 after surrendering his life to bipolar depression, which he struggled with his whole life.

Megan Hubbell, Billy’s sister, expressed, “We want something positive to be held in his name in perpetuity through the University he loved. He would be honored to know that even in death, he can help someone else realize their dreams.”

She added how she hoped her immensely talented brother will be remembered: “I hope BJ (as Billy was known by to his friends and family) is remembered for the kind-hearted, silly, funny, goofy, generous, beautiful soul that he was His megawatt smile, deep belly laugh and gorgeous mug were gifts on screen, but his true self was a bright light that will be carried with us forever.”

According to Miller’s family, Billy had his picks of schools and UT was his first choice. When he first came to the university, Billy started in the zoology program before switching to radio-television-film, where he felt he belonged. Miller was one of just 20 students at the time accepted into the department’s prestigious production-sequence program.

“BJ was extremely proud to be a Texas Longhorn and always remembered his time there fondly,” Hubbell said. “The time he spent at UT allowed him the space to explore who he wanted to be and what he wanted to accomplish.”

In honoring her brother’s work and strength to persevere in the often heartbreaking world of entertainment, Megan related: “I always admired the guts it took to go after a dream in Hollywood that so many people tried to discourage. He heard, ‘You’ll never make it’ more times than I care to count, but he used those comments as fuel and said, ‘Watch me.’”

Miller’s roles went far beyond those on daytime soap operas, as throughout his career he played major parts in primetime’s Suits, Ray Donovan and Castle to name but a few.

In his death, Billy’s family is encouraging people to take stock of their own mental health. “BJ would want anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts to seek professional help,” Hubbell said. “Do not suffer in silence or try to muscle through on your own. Mental health is vitally important and shouldn’t be spoken about in silos behind closed doors but rather in open forums with open arms. Shame has no place in the discussion to seek help.”
