Thorsten Kaye confirms that he would like to be part of the AMC ending!
That “Hurray” you hear is from All My Children fans and soap devotees who have just learned via Carolyn Hinsey at a post at Soap Opera Digest that Thorsten Kaye is willing, able, and ready to come back to play Zach for the conclusion of All My Children!
Thorsten told Hinsey: “I am very open to going back and finishing this up the right way. I would like to be there when the fat lady sings. I wasn’t aware the fat lady was warming up, and frankly I think it’s too soon for her to be singing, but here we are. “I would certainly like to be part of the ending.”
And SOD and Hinsey pointed out, “With Lorraine Broderick back at the helm, and AMC creator and legend Agnes Nixon reportedly consulting on story now, all signs point to someone fishing Zach out of the drink — or wherever he has REALLY been — by summer.”

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.

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.

Henry Joseph Samiri Returns to The Bold and the Beautiful
This sounds like good news to me! 🙂
I would LOVE to see Thorsten Kaye come back for the shows last days! Maybe Kendal can finally have her happier ever after?
My day-year has been made. I hope this comes to fruition and Thorsten is on his way back and soon. I love him to pieces.
this is wondeful news!!!
it would only be right for zach to be apart of amc final storyline!
I would love to see him back, but not the show ending. On facebook go to “save our soaps” I hope they can help us save both soaps.
Yeah this is good news alright comes back to go back off. But maybe just maybe some of this petitions will help and I still have a gliimer of hope that someone somewhere will pick up both of these soaps. This guy is a terrific actor and I have been watching since the very start. I have been to every site on facebook anymore suggestions? No the opera isn’t over yet..I like this guy another class act.
I really, really hope that Thorsten Kaye will return!!! He is one of my very favorite actors!
I just AMC weren’t ending–I’ve been a loyal viewer since 1974. It’s quite depressing…
I would love to see the real Zack come back from the dead. I think Kendall would just die especially when she thinks he’s dead. That would be very interesting.
aww..Poor Griff!!!! but Zack is the MAN
Is he for real? Who talks like that? He sounds like someone who’s never learned to carry on a conversation – just runs on and on.
