wow .. I just watched this on the All My Children Facebook..
I was loving it a few hours ago and again now !!
How awesome that AMC is coming back to us !!!!

The One Life to Live Facebook has a video too..

Put up the article for the OLTL one I want to have riveting discussions and debates with fellow soap viewers!

Wow! WOW…. Woah….

Stunning…. Tears of incredulousness… “Welcome to Pine Valley”.

My first real soap… 25-30 years ago. is back.

if in fact… it’s Tad that may have perished… ala’ that gun shot… ? hearing his voice-over Loving AMC… was fantastic. it’s relevant that it’s his voice doing the nuAMC opening… and/or publicity for.

Brooke… Dixie… Angie… Bianca….

these women leading nuAMC…. plus, Opal…. how grand is that.

it’s going to be fantastic… going from the reel above.

you know… the ramifications… when and if Dixie’s son…. JR…. is “revealed”…

talk about STORY,, for the chandler empire… haunted portrayal…. Tad was a resounding grounding…. for JR. with Dixie gone… a humane balance… if you will…. this would be a coupe… story…to… resonate throughout Pine Valley.

Flawless, could not tell what was old and what was new.

So excited. I can hardly wait for April 29.

This is beautiful. I wasn’t a regular AMC viewer and I’m in tears after watching this. I will be a regular viewing starting April 29th.

Thank you to everyone who is making this happen.

I’m in tears over the loss of David and Cara’s baby, UNLESS (I’m hoping!) it’s just David’s paranoid nightmare just before being released from prison! 🙁 🙂

NO! ? No….

say it isn’t true….

Dr. David Hayward… deserves “LOVE”….

if that’s what makes him so enigmatic…. “flawed”… cared about….

i hope his relationship with Angie is further explored in the nuAMC…

i just wish… Kyrstal was back…. to further develop… and intrigue us along… with Dr. David…. w/ Cara…. WHO IS MARVELOUS.

It seems Tad was the one most likely shot…interesting to see how this all plays out. Hope the new writers pull it off!

Thank you, Michael Fairman – true soap benefactor and patron. Love you for the support and information you give the fans.

Beautifully done! So looking forward to watching AMC when it returns and becoming a new fan of the show.

I don’t think its Tad. He has not said he would not return to AMC. So he may still come back. He might be in a coma in some hospital, if he was shot.

I hope it’s not Tad, but then again I can’t think of any character that I WOULD want it to be. I love them all. Bring it on!

This video is amazingly beautiful. Loved seeing some of the beloved performers from the past. I just knew they would do location shots in the Stamford area. So much more authentic for Pine Valley than the ones ABC did in L.A.

Looking forward to seeing Ms Morgan & Mr Williams back together, they truly are special on screen.

i can not waiting watch all my chlidren again on april 29

SUPER! Thank you Michael Fairman. You really bind everything together; I love your site and read it all the time. However I may feel from time to time about the success/lack of success about this endeavor, I know the viewers can count on you for the complete story! But must say that I was deeply touched by this video and was sitting at my computer crying. I do hope this is a success but as always, hope if it is, it will inspire the networks to return it to TV.

The video was great (but I liked OLTL video better). I really wish Tad was going to be part of this. There are really 4 people that should be part of it that are not. Tad, Erica, Kendall, and Jack. I know some are doing other projects but I think they should try to make it work for the fans.

I can’t tell you how elated I am that Prospect Park is bringing back All My Children. We waited and now it is almost here once again. Thank you so much for reprising this great soap. I have watched from its inception.

hi i so glad that all my children is back signed rita

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.
