Susan Lucci Dishes On Devious Maids and The Status of an All My Children Return!
Courtesy/Lifetime
Devious Maids is finally arriving next Sunday, June 23rd (10PMEST) on Lifetime co-starring soap opera icon Susan Lucci! The Devious Maids pilot episode was just made available for viewers to entice them to join in the fun and the dramedy of the 13 episode arc series on Hulu.com!
Lucci made a stop to Washington D.C.’s WUSA-TV to promote her new role in Devious Maids, but also dished on if a return to All My Children is in any way imminent!
The Daytime Emmy winner, who many hope can work it out to appear in upcoming episodes of the revival of Pine Valley noted once again in this television interview that she is back now filming in New York her Investigation Discovery series, Deadly Affairs, and so she is hoping that Prospect Park and her team can sit down look at the schedules of everyone and figure out if a return could be imminent when the show goes back into production after the labor dispute is resolved as well as the current AMC and OLTL hiatus.
Watch the segment after the jump! Then, let us know, do you hope Susan returns still to AMC? Will you be watching her on Marc Cherry’s Devious Maids? Let us know!

Susan is one of my favorite actresses, she’s entertaining in whatever she does. Still hoping for an AMC return, however. I think Erica would fit right it as the new series is quite brash and that is exactly what she is.
Well put, and to your question, yes and yes, LOVE Susan!
I second that: yes, yes, and yes, Love Susan and miss her on AMC too.
Hoping she returns to AMC. The show really needs her and Michael E. Knight to return. Not liking the characters being recast! Bring back Erica Kane (Lucci) fulltime.
DM is On Demand, so I’ll at least check out the first ep. If it’s good, I’ll watch.
I will be checking out devious maids but I have one question. Is Susan playing a major character on DM?? All the ads I have seen for DM I have yet to catch a glimpse of Susan?? you really missed the mark lifetime not promoting the fact that Susan is a part of this series.
i saw the pilot of devious maids & as far as i could see the maids are the main characters…………erica was in about 2 scenes and the show is on for an hour……………
Love her and so glad she is working. Would be so happy to see her on AMC, but just happy she is working unlike many of the other actors ABC fired.
Watched episode 1, not my thing so I won’t watch again, not awful, just not my thing. I’d like to see her back on AMC but as long as Angie and Jesse are on I’m happy!
wow, the reporter certainly has not done her homework as far as All My Children is concerned; First she calls her Susan Loosey, at least that’s what I heard. And then she’s like, I hear All My Children might be coming back? What? Get your homework done first girl.
What I thought was a funny was.
Susan said in DM her ‘son’ was in collage LOL
That would be/should be, her grandson..
I thought the same thing – do some research lady before you Interview someone as Iconic as Susan Lucci – learn to pronounce her name correctly and get your facts straight. She bluffed her way (badly) while attempting to interview Susan.
Yeesch!
AMC could only benefit by Susan Lucci. Erica is not even mentioned, let alone seen. There is a lack of Kanes in Pine Valley, and I’m hoping for Aunt Kendall and Grandma Erica to join Miranda and Bianca in town soon. How great it would be to see Erica and Dimitri mix it up again! I watched the first eppy of Devious Maids and it’s not bad. SL was only in 2 or 3 scenes, so she’s not The Star of the show, but she’s good and it’s nice to see her acting again, especially in a role that is… Read more »
Actually Bianca has brought up Erica’s name a couple times when she has scenes with Miranda. I do hope Susan can work things out to make an appearance. I love the reboot but her presence is diffinitely missed!
Yes, let’s hope that is where things are headed–not just a guest appearance, but regular appearances and storylines with the Great Erica Kane in them.
Well, her character is needed on ALL MY CHILDREN, that’s all I can say. Maybe If Erica Kane was there with Bianca and if they bring in Kendall it might bear more of a resemblence to the AMC we all know and remember. Somehow, without Tad Martin, Erica Kane, Kendall Slater and other key players, Pine Valley doesn’t quite feel like Pine Valley to me. At least, if Susan were around as Erica Kane she could annoy Brooke and interfere with how Bianca handles Miranda.
I disagree. Don’t get me wrong I would be happy to see Erica, Tad and Kendall back but even though they’re not on now I feel AMC is better than I’ve ever seen it. Lots of fans hated on the show for years even when those characters were on. As long as they keep doing great I won’t get hung up on who currently isn’t on.
So I get it that this is a new beginning for PV, but I am one of the long time watchers since the 60s when I was a kid. Is the new beginnings of AMC supposed to only cater to the “new” “younger” viewers and say, out with the old, in with the new? I’ll bet it would lose a lot of longtime loyal viewers where were the very ones screaming to keep AMC and OLTL when it was canceled by the unnamed horrible network? that would not be fair. There has to be a balance–a good balance that is… Read more »
I totally agree!!! Don’t understand why it had to start out 5 years after the original show ended. Dixie is not old enough to be a grandmother to A.J. and I don’t like the new J.R. The show just doesn’t seem right!!
Erica would never fit into the new modern AMC..
she just does not belong in this AMC.. she will be very out of place and look ridiculous with her trade mark diva hair flipping 80’s era diva flaunting ..
even on Devious Maids she will still be the prancing diva Erica, she can only be the 80’s diva no matter what roll she would play ..
And that will not fit into this AMC.. 🙂
SuOOOO, I totally disagree with you on your take that Erica Kane would be out of place and look ridiculous. Preposterous assumption on your part. Erica Kane (played by none other than Susan Lucci would actually boost the ratings of the show. She will fit into PV much better than some of the other new characters. She is the life of PV in my book. She’s bigger than life, and so much more than an “80s diva” in my book. Right now, PV needs life pumping back into it. Sure there are great storylines going on, but PV seems subdued… Read more »
susan lucci is not coming back to all my children. too late. its going to be cancelled soon. susan lucci has moved on. agnes nixon failed yet again. i hate agnes nixon. she is such a bitch. she is phoney and needs to retire, i never did like agnes nixon. she is senile old witch.
Leo, I keep hearing that the cancelation rumors are not true and got started up after someone picked up on an old post while ABC still owned the rights to the shows. Well, Prospect Park owns the rights now and as far as I know both shows are doing quite well and are NOT getting canceled at all. Where are you getting your information from.
After the mess Marc Cherry made with Desperate Housewives, I won’t be tuning in to Devious Maids, but I do hope Susan can come back to AMC. I wonder how Erica would feel about Dimitri working closely with Brooke?
I think AMC desperatly needs Susan Lucci back. The show needs her kind of drama on it. I watch AMC faithfully, bu I miss the longstanding characters, Erica, Ryan, Tad, Liza. I like the storyline with Pete and Celia, but I think she needs to ditch the school and get her own place. We need to see some backstory about where Colby has been and what she’s been up to…She acts like a bad-girl now (I wonder what’s happened to make her that way?) I miss Kendall and wish she would return–she was always more exciting than Bianca anyway. What… Read more »
I’m with you on that – why in the heck do they need Billy Clyde Tuggle back on the show? It is almost as if the Producers will grab anyone who used to be on the show that is available. His character was cute and funny back in the day (waaay back in the day) but seems pointless now.
I get it they are trying to show the dangers of young girls being too trusting in public places and what can happen (and really does happen in real life) every day, not just in America, but across the globe. I get that, but Billy Clyde Tuggle? He was a joke back in the day and he’s a joke in 2013. How does he even have any “girls” in his so-called “stable?” I mean, just look at him…how on earth could someone like him EVER pull that off? I am not LMAO. So, I get it now…he is back to… Read more »
That woman needs to know how to pronounce her name, before she started the interview.
i already saw the pilot for devious maids & i must say i was not impressed at all………………
That’s expected from a horrid writer like cherry.
It’s too bad though that these are the only kind if roles available to Latin american actresses.
I would love to see her back on AMC, but I also like seeing her in other things. I will check out the Devious Maids episodes, as I also LOVE Anna Ortiz.
ditto
I would LOVE to see Erica Kane make an appearance on AMC!!!!! I know Susan is busy with other projects, but still, Pine Valley could use a visit from the one and only Erica Kane! And I would love to see her with Miranda right now.
I see both sides of the picture here – I do understand that some feel that this ALL MY CHILDREN is a new inception of the show, which to some degree it is. However, the character of Erica Kane can only help this show, which so far has had some very mediocre scripts. True, the character of Erica Kane is a little over-the-top but that’s how she is, and to say that she just wouldn’t “fit in” with this modern show is a little harsh, I think she would fit in just fine. The scene between the new Colby and… Read more »
I agree here…soap characters are like ones own family and friends…i wouldnt watch my real family and friends doing the[blank] so i dont want to here as well…im no prude but this sex stuff here is going too far! Im not looking for Disney channel stuff but if Y&R can be hugely popular without it these reboots can too. Anyone who critics me for voicing my opinion go right ahead…i dont care!
Johnny, it couldn’t have been better said. I agree.
Enjoyed the pilot of DM and plan on watching the series … it’s a good ensemble show with very dark humor. Would welcome a brief visit to Pine Valley by Erica but the AMC reboot has been so well planned with respect to character and story, it’s not necessary for SL to become a permanent cast member; recasts and new characters are excellent. Would like to see Kendall return, if possible, and it would be a pleasure to welcome Tad the Cad if he wants to catch up with his family members … but he may not want another confrontation… Read more »
I agree, I would love to see Erica whenever Susan has a chance to show up and do short term arcs. Count me as another one who really misses Kendall, and feels that AMC badly needs her. There’s something not quite clicking with this show yet, but I think getting a few more familiar faces would help. I’m hopeful the new writers are looking at doing just that and looking forward to what they will bring to the show.
Susan is an icon as Erica Kane and she needs to be on AMC now. She brings a bit of oomph to the show; she is needed now.
My feelings exactly.
She has no desire to star on an online soap, at least not long term. I wish she would just be honest and let the fan girls not get their hopes up.
One person on here had written that all Latin americans are the help when it was discussed that a former days actor was cast on this devious drama. It’s bec pop culture shapes how people are viewed. This is exactly the reason for american government spending tons of money researching film and tv as propaganda tools. It’s bec stupid films and tv shows from hollywood make people think that how hollywood portrays certain chars is true for entire groups. Majority of gay chars are shown as rich and white bec hollywood wants people to think flatteringly abt 1.6% of population.… Read more »
Latin americans are really being bashed recently. Devious drama is obviously very offensive towards Latin americans. Even a child singer named sebastian de la cruz is getting hate tweets from racists for singing national anthem at spurs arena for nba finals. Where’s hollywood screaming abt how a Latin american child is being bullied? Tolerant hollywood would only be screaming if it was abt gay bullying. All these nba athletes and general managers and coaches were tweeting praise and speaking to the media abt how past nba athlete collins has come out of the closet. But only spurs coach gregg popovich… Read more »
It doesn’t matter to me if she comes on AMC or not. If she does fine,if she doesn’t that’s okay also…
One of the joys of the original AMC was that it was multi-generational. In thread after thread of recent conversation, the naysayers of the new AMC have been reminded of the iconic “teen” stories that have fueled the show for over 40 years. I know; I saw them all. The new incarnation is still getting on its feet, and I think they are addressing a certain imbalance in the generational storytelling. Frankly, I find the plotlines for Jesse, Angie, Zach, David, JR and Cara more compelling right now than the stories for the younger folks. I think they’re missing a… Read more »
You’re right about that aspect of it too Brad, it’s missing humor. It’s also missing some decent writing. The fact that Tad Martin isn’t there hurts the show – and I now agree it has to be Michael E. Knight in the role or don’t bother – and of course, Erica Kane has to be played by Susan Lucci. I am now convinced that Key roles cannot be re-cast so easily. A supporting role like Colby Chandler, well fine, she’s been played by so many blonde actresses what’s the difference. But if ALL MY CHILDREN doesn’t get on the stick,… Read more »
Johnny, I don’t think we’ve seen the work of the new writers yet. Hopefully, they will bring some wit and flair to the proceedings. And yes, some characters are iconic and cannot be successfully recast (although Jill Larson has done a wonderful job as Opal #2, and I sure remember how amazing Dorothy Lyman was.). Better a brief cameo by Susan Lucci than a “new” Erica. But they know that!
I started watching All My Children In 1980 and Erica was my favorite character. I hope she does return. Even though I am watching every new episode it is not the same without her. I would also like to see Michael Knight come back as Tad.
I am LOVING Susan Lucci in Devious Maids. She has a comedic side we have not seen while channeling echos of Erica Kane (slightly nutty) but awesome. We will see Ms. Lucci on AMC in the future now that Oprah has picke the shows up for a “test” run so AMC fan relax…our dreams will come true soon!!! 🙂
Probably will never watch her on anything other than AMC. Forgive me for being selfish, but miss her so much as Erica! Desperately wish the show had remained as it once was.
Me, too!!! It is so different with different people. I have noticed that the language is pretty bad at times and this was never part of the original AlMC.
