Thorsten Kaye (Zach Slater, AMC)  spoke with soap columnist Carolyn Hinsey for her latest blog on the Tainted Dreams/NYC Brand Productions website about his upcoming role in Michelle Stafford’s hit web series, The Stafford Project and if he heard any news on the status of the second season of All My Children.

In regards to AMC, Kaye commented, “Nothing thing is in place. Eden [Riegel, Bianca] is about to have a baby and my love interest (Pilar Garces, Lea) is about to have a baby. We’re going to have to call it All My Children-en-en-en.

However,  a source close to Prospect Park told On-Air On-Soaps, “They are hard at work prepping the second season of All My Children.”

As for Kaye’s upcoming role in The Stafford Project, Thorsten will play a french guy who is on a date with “Michelle”, and as the actors explains,  “I play this French guy who is a little off – like most French people – but this guy is moreso. Michelle is having dinner with him and her producer comes over and says the guy is wanted for the disappearance of his girlfriend.”

Thorsten’s episode of The Stafford Project will debut this coming Monday, October 14th! Are you looking forward to seeing Michelle Stafford and Thorsten Kaye in scenes together?  Thoughts on the return of AMC?  Comment below!

I would LIKE to be more positive regarding the return of AMC for the second season but Prospect Park once again has any possible detail shrouded in dark mystery.

Not one actor has tweeted about any new scripts, any new taping schedules, any production dates, nothing. It’s as though every actor has been asked to refrain from making any comment whatsoever. Usually, the AMC actors are very communicative with the fans but it’s not a good sign when mum’s the word.
If the show is due to go back into Production on October 21st (that’s one rumor) then
we should have heard something by now.
I don’t know how others feel, but I don’t have a great vibe going regarding the return for Season two of AMC but please believe me I hope that my feelings are wrong.

I Agree! At first it was mid-August, but PP originally said 5 one hour episodes a week too. So why no news from anybody, like here, about OLTL or AMC coming back or in production? I don’t really care about SP or GH, sorry.

IMHO PP should grow up and an get on with producing OLTL/AMC. Forget the lawsuit and just make the show. I don’t get why they can’t, or won’t. Seems lame.

Yes ABC screwed PP but now PP is screwing over the fans and themselves. I read the court papers and IMO I can’t see anyone taking this lawsuit seriously.

Soaps kill off characters and them bring back all the time. GH killed 2 very minor characters, so bring them back. PP agreed to let GH use OLTL characters, what did they think GH would do? PP is asking for a jury trial. We all know how long those take.

I love OLTL and the new AMC, I am a long time fan and have never much liked ABC or Disney, but if it were me, I’d throw the case out of court on grounds. $25 mil, for what? just an opinion. 😉

Honestly, I think it boils down to money. I think the shows are very expensive to produce — even the new “half hour” inceptions. Of course, that is truly conjecture on my part, I don’t really know what’s going on any more than anyone else seems to. Even though Season one of the new On-line ALL MY CHILDREN did very well, it may be a while before they can return to production. Fans are getting frustrated and aggravated (myself included) from not even having our questions dignified with an official response.

I had no doubt that AMC would return and have a great second season..
It was very obvious AMC was doing very well and and it was logical it would return..

As for OLTL hmmm time will tell.. however there is always another season for its return if not this season..

ABC was supporting 3 soaps.. and in this era of struggling daytime tv it was inevitable that 2 soaps would have to close..
ABC can handle 1 soap but ludicrous to hold 3 soaps..
Perhaps PP can handle 1 soap but not 2 at this time, it could be a finical challenge..

I do believe OLTL will have its second, also .. 🙂
PP has always conquered all the obstetricals to bring the soaps back; have faith 🙂

I am pretty sure you mean obstacles not obstetricals unless you are referring to labor and delivery!

Well in either case there’s been no “labor or delivery” on ALL MY CHILDREN regarding the “so called” second season.
The fact that the actress who plays Bianca is expecting a baby should have little impact on the Production resuming in a timely manner, Biance is always out of the country or visiting Kendall anyway and they could easily write around her temporary absense.

I am looking forward to AMC and Zach returning to the web soap ….hope PP will be presenting it very soon. Will The Stafford Project be on Hulu.com or some other web station? I sure want to see Thorsten when he appears on this show this coming Monday, October 14th. He is a wonderful actor and I wish him the best of luck in the future!!!!! Can’t wait for AMC and hope OLTL will get a chance to come back also!!!!! Thanks for keeping us up to date as always, Michael ….. as a big soap fan I really appreciate all you do to help keep our soaps alive!!!!!! Merci Beaucoup!!!!!!

The Stafford Project is on YouTube at thestaffordproject.com!

Thanks so much, Chris!!!!!

What Prospect Park has been doing to the fans is really disrespectful both to the cast of AMC and OLTL and fans. I hate to say this but for myself I am over those soaps. Thank God GH lived on otherwise I would not be watching soaps.

We should all cancel HULU PLUS, those of us who subscribed to it to get ALL MY CHILDREN. Let’s be realistic, Prospect Park has not had the decency to release even a statement, albeit they are great for issuing vague and misleading ones most of the time. If ALL MY CHILDREN were going back into production for October 21st, we would have heard something from one of the actors who are generally communicative with the fans, which is more than we can say for Prospect Park. Sorry to dwell on the negative here but let’s face it, things don’t appear too promising at this time.

I am worried sick about AMC, but I am beyond excited to see TK on The Stafford Project!! The small clip I’ve seen looks hysterical!! Love me some TK!!

WANT ALL MY CHILDREN BACK ASAP

Well, considering that he just accepted a new Role on another popular soap, I doubt that the future of ALL MY CHILDREN on line is very promising. I’m sad about it, but the silence from Prospect Park is deafening. No one seems to know anything but let’s be honest, it isn’t very encouraging News for fans of ALL MY CHILDREN.

Is the Michael Fairman Interactive Radio Program still going on? I only ask because I don’t see any announcements regarding interviews, updates, etc.

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.
