Susan Lucci on Life After Erica Kane on Today's GMA – Watch the Video Segment

Susan Lucci was a special guest on this morning’s Good Morning America in a segment with GMA anchor, Robin Roberts.  During Lucci’s segment, they talked about her new role in Army Wives with Kim Delaney.  Susan was promoting this coming Sunday’s, May 20th episode of the Lifetime series in which she appears.

In addition, Susan reveals she will start taping her new fall series, Crimes of Passion for Investigation Discovery channel in which she will host! Plus, Lucci talks about how she ended up in Gloria Estefan’s new music video.  But of course, Robin and Susan admit how much they love and miss Erica Kane and All My Children.

We wish Susan would have been asked about Devious Maids not going to series, but perhaps that subject was off-limits.  After the jump, watch Susan’s segment.  And let us know what you would love to see her take on next?

Robin was probably not allowed to ask about Devious Maids because she works for ABSleeze.

Of course, interview Lucci on ABC and ABC controls the content. Lucci will probably never speak out again about ABC, since the last time she did, Devious Maids was canceled. You can’t go against a network or its executives and ever expect to work for them (Charlie Sheen, Conan O’Brien, etc.).

Susan is another absolute class act!

For God’s sake, Susan, eat something.

I have to agree with you about her weight, but I think that picture of her in the video still (above) is one of the worse pictures Of her that I have ever seen, Her face looks like it is not real.

I miss All My Children.. I am still boycotting ABC. I wish the soap would come back. I would love to see everyone from All My Children come back in a series or movie.

Wow, Ms. Lucci looks amazing. I much prefer her hair longer like this. I wish Army wives would pick her up full time or Hot in Cleveland or someone if Devious Maids doesn`t want her or isn`t going on. She is a class act and she has represented ABC well.

It seems LaLucci can have anything she wants. She is not a great actress, but has been given the royal treatment as a personality. She Is one lucky woman…

Well she can`t do >Devious Minds. She has been so loyal to ABC and daytime tv. Doesn`t she deserve some success.

I said it once before somewhere, but my sense is the decreasing ratings DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES had in recent years, and the failure of GCB to catch on as ABC wanted, my guess is ABC did not think DEVIOUS MAIDS had what they thought it needed to carry the web across the finish line. It may have been a perfectly fine pilot and showed great promise, but it was not the right time or right place for it. Honestly, the MAIDS premise did sound very familiar, only from the “downstairs” angle. Sometimes projects do not work out. I do not think we need to worry about Susan Lucci. I just hope she is not forced to play a shadow of Erica forever and will secure roles that test her and challenge her as the actress she is.

Looks like something I wouldn’t be interested in watching………………..I will pass on this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn’t think S. Lucci could sing…………………. Sounds a little premature to me…….When did she have singing lessons??????????????? And for how many years did she study to be a singer??????????? This a first for me…

Well Susan has sung on a CD, has a cabaret act and sung on Broadway. She was orignally trained for musicals but with Devious Maids and Deadly Affairs doesn’t have much time to sing. I wish DM would have fun and let her look like the video.

Is that really all her hair or just extentions..She once said her hair was thin but she had a lot of it…..I think it is extentions………………………………….It can be professionally done & you couldn’t tell……………………………………..

Extentions all the way>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Go, Susan, Go–Yay! 😀

Um, she and Kim shared a pretty major storyline back in the 80’s. Infact her is a scene of them together – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoYRYxh9SyQ (go to the 2 min mark). Not sure how she can say that they never worked together on AMC.

Very interesting, Isn’t that before jenny started modeling? I thought they were together before, Maybe Susan isn’t thinking with a full deck anymore, Or she thinks we the soap fans forgot, or shes speaking to different fans now. Either way she has been in scenes with jenny before. Nice find Alex.

Yeah, I never understood how she could say she did not have any time on air with Kim Delaney – Erica Kane was like a mentor to Jenny as a model. And Susan and Devious Maids will be coming to Lifetime. I heard Lucci was one of the key reasons why Lifetime picked it up. I hope Lucci shows us the goods.

I was hoping we would see Susan back on Hot In Cleveland which has been in a bit of a lull and I liked the Audrey role – total departure – on Army Wives. Lifetime should use her on both Army Wives and Devious Maids. But of course most want Susan back where she should be All My Children.

Carol Burnett Talks About Being a Superfan of ‘All My Children’ on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’

In a heartfelt reunion, of sorts, the one and only Carol Burnett appeared on Monday March 25th episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.

Burnett had first met Kelly Ripa (Hayley) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) back when they all appeared on All My Children together. Carol played Verla Grubbs first in 1983 and then again in the 90’s.

Host Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, AMC) noted to Burnett that “we go back a long time”. She also described Burnett’s character of Verla Grubbs, “extraordinary in every way.”

Carol’s love for All My Children is well-documented, hence legendary soap creator, Agnes Nixon, created the role of Verla for Burnett.

Speaking on how her passion for All My Children began, Carol told Kelly and Mark, “It started with my kids. They would watch at noon. I said, ‘What are you guys doing?’ I sat down and I started to watch and I got hooked!”

When Carol’s family decided to travel through Europe during one summer, the comedic legend recalled thinking, “How am I going to last if I don’t know what’s going on in Pine Valley?” She revealed she had a friend, “who sent me a telegram to the (different hotels) on Fridays to bring me up to date.”

In a hilarious moment from the segment, Carol recalled receiving a late night telegram while in Lake Cuomo when there was a knock at her hotel room door from the hotel manager who was shaking.

Carol related what it said, “Erica is still in a coma. Mark slipped again and ran away from rehab.” As Kelly and Mark broke into laughter, Burnett continued, “Chuck has learned that Donna is carrying his baby, who was once a hooker.”

Check out Carol explaining how she became an AMC Superfan below.

Now, let us know, did you enjoy Carol as Verla Grubbs? What show do you consider yourself a Superfan of? Tell us in the comment section.

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.

Share you remembrances and condolences for Malachy McCourt via the comment section, but first check out this scene from a 1983 episode of “Ryan’s Hope” featuring the late actor with Ilene Kristen.
