‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Those are teasers, not spoilers..
I know there are many who do not know the difference of teasers and spoilers..
Spoilers Tell What will happen and when, and the outcome….
Teases are nothing more than a description of the daily show; much like what TV guide would tell of the daily show for that day in the guide..
Teasers do not— tell what will happen/outcomes etc of stories..
There is a soap site that has a terrible time with what spoilers are and what tease promotions are, and people are scared to tell the promotion teasers, and they are meant to be told, they are a form of promotion…
and I am looking forward to another awesome week, the teasers tell me it will be a very good week and not to miss it 🙂
Victor and Todds storyline is what im most interested in…
Just watched today’s episode. I have decided to give AMC two months to work out their problems. AJ and Miranda are making the show unwatchable. All the other actors are wonderful and I like the story lines. I understand the need for bringing in young soap fans but as an older fan, the AJ and Miranda show is not what I want to watch. Aj’s cursing and shooting the finger is just too much. I really don’t mind a few curse words but it was way too much today. I really don’t see AMC lasting very long and it will be because of AJ and Miranda monopolizing the show. Young actors are inexperienced actors and they are taking over the entire show. So unless AMC can bring in young viewers to replace the older viewers….. Also they hop between too many story lines. I think because the shows don’t last as long, they can’t really get into the stories like they use to. I was disappointed with today’s episodes but will continue to watch for awhile to see if things get better.
Todays episode was a letdown…i can let pass some cursing but with it in todays episode and popping the finger seemed more like lets do it just because we can…it seems this is what the writers are most excited about doing instead of delivering good storylines! I can understand using younger characters to attract younger fans but at the same time these writers need not to push away their established fan base. I turn 30 May 25th…maybe im too old for this! I like younger characters and older ones just the same! Hopefully Adam, Brooke and Opal will get more to do instead of being props for the younger set. My 55 year old mother dont mind younger as well but feels too much focus on AJ and Miranda is ruining the show too!
I totally disagree. This is AMC. Jesse, Angie, Tad,, etc. , even Erica– started as teens. Keep it up Agnes, I love it!
I disagree. Like it or not that is how real teenagers speak. I am loving the new actors and i think the writing is more authentic.
Soaps are not suppose to be realistic! They never were! That’s what made them fun. Most people would never do these things! How many people have died & came back to life? Soaps are not reality shows!
I’m wondering if we are watching the same show? Miranda and AJ have not been monopolizing the whole show. All My Children has always had a focus on the younger set. Thus the title of the show. Just the younger set we grew up watching grew up,just like we did.
AMC is great! there is variety…
The vets are all in good stories, suspense and mystery..
Jesse and Zac are heading into an awesome story..
Jr and David’s story has just begun, too ..
There are very good stories for the vets and the new young of the cast are doing a good job and their stories all effect the vets..
All the stories have just started and looking forward to them to get into full swing!
I hate the cussing! I think it hurts the shows, because they will lose some of their audience if they keep it up. I love my shows, but I hate cursing. What’s next will they take God’s name in vain? All the reasons I love my shows they are taking away. I will have to stop watching them if this continues. I hope enough people say something so it will stop. It is totaling unnecessary, and it is a change that needs to go! We lived without it for a year, we don’t have to watch filth.
Watched today’s OLTL… I miss RC’s writing!!!
Let me change that to… really… really… really… miss RC’s writing!!!
Me too! Im still watching but im not addicted like before…that could change in the weeks ahead! Too soon to give up at this point…i do like it but it needs more drama, a little Roxy humor, and romance! Romance outside the bedroom all soaps need! Like when me and my husband take a picnic lunch and long walks at the beach!
It is not possible to have all that you want in the beginning; 5 shows, sheeshhhh ..
I finally seen both reboots…AMC seems like two seperate soaps…The Young and The Restless and the Old and the Still Beatiful. OLTL is the best of the two. Both lack addiction and i agree with my friend Kim that the cursing and more explicit love scenes do seem to be there just because they can do it without network cencorship and does seemed overused. But me and my friends will remain watchers hoping for more story improvement. Had Victor not return OLTL wouldve had problems, im just saying!
I have not watched but the New York Times gave both shows a scathing review with all my children really ridiculed. The reviewer said the acting was awful and the younger set was playing roles they were too old for. i feel all my children died ten years ago as it ran out of gas. I have no interest in starting up again when there are much better shows to watch and I mean non daytime soaps. I have not heard a single comment at the water cooler or in the neighborhood about these reboots. There is better entertainment out there folks.
Really? Instead of reading what some reporter at NYT who has probably never watched a single episode has to say,why not take 25 minutes out of your day. All My Children is better than it’s been in a decade.
I agree that reviewer came off as a moron who probably didn’t like either show in the first place.
So far I am loving both shows. Love the new Miranda, but not sure about AJ yet. The younger kids actually act like real life teenagers and not characters of father knows best teens. “Oh gee golly gee guys” is not life like and silly. I like the story of Miranda as this is really what teens of two moms or two dads put up with everyday in school. Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s life..
It’s a lifestyle choice for the parents but not the children, so it’s really refreshing to see how someones choices, any choices, really affect more than just them. I am looking forward to see how Miranda comes to terms with who her parents are, who she is, and how she really feels about that.
I think the younger cast so far are a great addition and I’m an old lady.
As far as teasers vs spoilers, I much prefer teasers. I think all the spoilers and soap magazines have really ruined the surprise of a cliffhanger and a must watch story line. I remember when I was a kid coming home from school and rushing to watch GH, and being excited about AMC when I was home sick. You never knew what was coming and it was great suspense.
I’m loving both of these shows, and so glad they’re back! Of course there are going to be differences from the televised versions, and it would be unrealistic to expect otherwise. I feel that there are enough familiar characters and stories to bring us right back to Pine Valley and Llanview, and I’m enjoying the journey!
I agree. I can’t believe how many are complaining when they should be happy just to have our shows back. They have been updated from the 70’s to the 21st century and are much more realistic to today than they ever were on T.V.
I am giving AMC and OLTL every chance to succeed. I know going in these are not the soaps I watched in ABC for decades. They cannot be.
I caught up on first week over this past weekend. I nearly cried seeing Opal. Love her. I also loved seeing Bianca in the form of Eden Riegel (a life favorite!), and of course, Brooke and a surprisingly docile Adam. I was surprised by my enjoyment and interest in the Celia storyline and am curious about who her guardian is. A private girls school is very Pine Valley! And the actress playing Celia is very interesting. I do expect some contemporary touches overall, such as the three-way pitch Miranda dodged and some language. Storyline is key and there is plenty I found riveting. I was not watching at the very start (January 1970) but I think the reboot is similar to the original in its concern for the children. Also, AMC 2.0 can get lots of mileage from mining five years we did not see.
Let’s keep tuning in! Rarely do we get second chnaces like this!
Gotta give them a chance, I’ll watch.. I don’t care how bad it gets. I know it’s better to have them and suffer thru growing pains, than to not have them.
I haven’t watched today’s episodes yet but why should they have growing pains??? There’s always a new show on prime time…we don’t “wait” to see it will get better! The writers of these soaps are supposedly experienced and should be able to tell a story and hold the viewer’s attention from the get-go…I would hope they caught up on both show’s histories…they should know how to write the characters without a blip.
I’ve posted this thought before but the whole “drawing a younger audience” is ridiculous. The fanbase that fought for these shows are the ages they are…they are the automatic demographic/numbers that these shows need to survive in the short run. if they lose us…I doubt they’re going to have “millions” on new viewers based on the finger and some random curse words thrown in to show how young and hip they are. LOL…people of all ages curse…you either do or you don’t. It doesn’t draw viewers…
Think of all the shows from the past…Friends, Seinfeld, Thirtysomething, Saturday Night Live, all the Vampire shows…they didn’t attract young viewers because they use certain words and give the finger.
These writers beter step up to the plate and start telling stories…not little meaningless segmants sewn together or even the most diehard fan is oging to close the book on their new “chapters…”
and…if I only knew how to edit or correct my typos I’d feel much better about my rant!!! LOL…so:
“wait to see IF it will get better…”
“of” new viewers
better not “beter”
going not “oging”
sigh.
I am trying to really keep an open mind – I am not quite as interested in the younger set but DO UNDERSTAND that they need to attract younger viewers. I am more of the age bracket of Dixie-Tad-Angie-Jesse so naturally, I am the most interested in those characters ~ I don’t want Adam and Brooke to just be set decorations, I’d like to see and hear some interesting and meaningful dialogue transpire between them. I don’t want Opal to just bake brownies and give them to Petey, I feel she deserves a storyline of her own. These are just my observations and comments, the “new” ALL MY CHILDREN will need time to grow and expand and I’m sure we all agree on that.
