I love the idea of a recap show & the opportunity to see some behind the scenes stuff.

Will have to wait and see what they are like… but myself, I’d still rather have a new episode on Friday, and perhaps this re-cap show once a month.

This just keeps getting better and better!!!

Personally I have no problem at all with the recap shows. Anything that keeps me connected with the stars of these wonderful shows I fully support. I am just so very grateful that these fantastic shows are back in production. I mean we will be getting 210 shows a year of each. We seem to have a very committed team working on the productions. Bravo to Prospect Park for working so hard to return these shows to glory in the modern age!!

Yet another brilliant plan to stay connected with the fans and also to get a glimpse and have more of a personal connection to the actors

Good thing its a recap of the two soaps ect. but the rest of it sounds too much like another information talk show to me!

I do not like it..
I do not like getting overly personal with the cast it takes away from the acting because I’d see them as the actor not their the character, it would take the fantasy lol ….
That’s not Angie that is Debbie Morgan while watching the story..
and it seems boring, I’d rather have another day of the soaps..
It would be better if they had it one Friday a month..

It is PP way of abiding to the stipulations of the lease to keep the soaps in the original format of 5 days a week..
This way they put out for 4 days and 5th is interviews and the actors are paid by their scenes, so saving big money for PP to throw in the 5th day none story,scenes,scripts.
It will get old fast, and most would rather have another day of the soap not interviews etc etc ..

It’s better to have 4 days a week than NO days a week.If they can only afford 4 30 minute shows a week so be it.
The shows are back.This almost NEVER happens be grateful we’re getting this much.The new footage looks FANTASTIC.I predict more returns will happen once they see the finished product.

i agree with everything you posted! some are never satisfied…….

sounds great to me! would be great if they could keep at least these recap/behind the scenes shows on the web for years, like old episodes are on YouTube. It’s fun to go back and rewatch!

Love it! I can’t wait!

Let’s just hope the “lifestyle and beauty/fashion advice” doesn’t overwhelm them and hog up most of the airtime.

I’m skeptical about this being even 1/10 as compelling as even “The Soup” on E! but hey, it shows that Prospect Park actually does care.

Can’t wait to watch this stuff on my HuluPLUS on the TV (Roku, baby!)

This is reminding me of when Passions was cancelled and moved to DirecTV only, they cut down to four episodes a week, then only three a week if I remember right, and they did their weekly recap/call in show…I still loved it, but it only lasted a year. I hope that doesn’t happen this time. I do think they may have a better chance of lasting than Passioms did for a couple of reasons though… 1- I think both AMC & OLTL had a larger audience to begin with, and 2- more people have access to the internet than were willing to switch their TV service to DirecTV. So again, hopefully they won’t suffer the same fate, I just can’t help but notice that there are some similarities. I’m really hoping for success, especially for OLTL.

As a 40 year veteran of OLTL, I think these recap shows would benefit initially from educating new viewers (fans of Corbin Bleu, for example) of the history behind the current characters and a recap of the last couple of weeks of shows before it was yanked last January…..

I stil have the last 3 episodes on my TIVO and plan to watch next week, but the newbies might not be motivated enough to explore the background;….

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.

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.
