Alan Dysert, who played Sean Cudahy on ABC’s All My Children has died. He was 75-years-old. The news of his passing came from his wife Michele who shared via a Facebook post that Dysert died back on October 23.
“My heart is broken as I share that my beloved husband, Alan, passed away on October 23, 2026. While I am struggling to imagine life without him, I am forever grateful to have experienced what so many people spend their lives searching for — the love of a lifetime,” Michele expressed.
While a cause of death was not made public at this time, Michele admitted that Alan, “faced more than his share of health challenges over the years, yet he continued to approach life with determination, humor, and gratitude.”

Dysert wrote about his battle with a rare, aggressive and incurable cancer in his 2023 autobiography, Lights, Camera, Cancer! He spoke of having undergone four major cancer-related surgeries, and many rounds of chemotherapy and CT scans.
SEAN CUDAHY WAS ‘BAD GUY’ PERSONFIED
On All My Children, Dysert played Sean Cudahy, the con man villain to his brother, good guy, Tom Cudahy played by Richard Shoberg. Dysert played the role between 1980 and 1990 returning for multiple story arcs, which included being revealed to be the murderer of Sybil Thorne. He was also involved in several affairs including with the impressionable Devon McFadden (Tricia Pursley).
THE LIVES HE TOUCHED
Alan’s longtime agent Melinda Eisnagule told PEOPLE his death is a “loss to our community and to the acting community at large. He touched so many lives and made the industry and the world a better place every day with his positive energy and kindness.”
Dysert leaves behind his wife, Michele and his two sons Cody and Cooper and will be remembered by those who knew him for a career that spanned the theatre, film, TV and performance coaching, and of course being a part of the legacy of All My Children.

Mark Consuelos Celebrates Kelly Ripa’s 56th Birthday on ‘Live,’ But Remember When Wendy Williams Outed the Couple as Married Before Anyone at ‘All My Children’ Knew?
On the Friday, October 2 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the morning talk show marked the 56th birthday of Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos, All My Children).
During the opening segment, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos, All My Children) humorously comparing his wife to both Gandhi and Groucho Marx, reflecting on both her comedic ability and peaceful ways.
Later, they went on to discuss the origins of her name and the most popular picks to name babies back in the year she was born, 1970. They were Kimberly, Lisa, and Jennifer for girls and Michael, David, and James for the boys.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Ripa recalled that she learned she was almost named Kim. However, their neighbors at the time had two daughters Kelly and Kim, which is what her parents wanted to call them, but they settled on Kelly and and her younger sister, Linda.
At the conclusion of the episode, Mark rolled out a huge cake for his wife. It was, “Happy birthday from all of us here at Live and at home.” Next, he cut the cake, and Ripa grabbed his face and gave him a “thank you” kiss.

KELLY AND MARK TRIED TO KEEP THEIR VEGAS WEDDING ON THE DOWN LOW
All of this brings back memories of how Kelly and Mark’s Las Vegas wedding ceremony went public in 1996 while the two were still on All My Children playing Mateo Santos and Hayley Vaughan. In essence, they were outed by then radio host Wendy Williams! They discussed it on the talk show back in 2024.
In fact, the duo hid their marriage from their All My Children castmates for months, until they found out Williams got wind of the nuptials and spread the intel on the airwaves.
The two recalled their secret wedding on a 2024 episode of Live! “We’d eloped. It’d been a few months at that point. We’d been married for three months, nobody at All My Children knew we were even dating, much less married to each other. We’re brushing our teeth and we’ve got Wendy Williams’ radio show on. We’re listening, and she’s like, ‘I’ve got celebrity dish!”
EYEWITNESS
Next Ripa continued, “The celebrities,’ I guess they had a broad use of the term back then, was the fact that ‘two soap stars from All My Children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eloped in Las Vegas.’ There was this eyewitness that worked in the Clark County courthouse that said we eloped, and the news broke, and we had to tell everybody we were married.”
Live With Kelly and Mark airs weekdays in syndication. Check your local listings for times in your area.
Share your birthday wishes for Kelly in the comment section, and let us know your thoughts on how Wendy Williams broadcast the news, unbeknownst to the All My Children newlyweds, that they tied the knot in Vegas? Check out Mark and the ‘Live’ studio audience singing ‘happy birthday’ to Kelly in the post below.

Everyone new promo released makes me smile. The New OLTL promo with the new EP calling a grand slam and the fans did bring a tear. I am still watching the OLTL preview and getting emotional at the beautiful sets and costumes, the cast I love and excited to Shelter and all that happens there. I have never watched AMC but I am ready and willing now
One Life’s “First Day of School” doesn’t seem to be available yet…at least not in my iTunes Store.
Every time I see these new promos, I get emotional and pumped up at the same time. Jennifer Pepperman “grand slam” comment is on the money because for me, this is a beautiful grand slam that these soaps are back. Of course, the icing on the cake for me is my girl, Tea “F-fantastic:)” Delgado is keeping it realz:). Thank u Agnes Nixon, Prospect Park, show crews, actors, fans, and everyone involved in breathing new life into these shows and last, but certainly not least is thank u Mr. Fairman:-) for all that u do for the soap community to include keeping me as a fan informed:-).
I love Florencia (Tea) as well. I just love how Flo makes you forget she is acting. I only wish I could have seen the clip before it was taken down. I am surprised they didn`t re-edit it and re-post it 🙁
This is wonderful. I’m so excited.
I’ve gotten onto Itunes and the videos are nowhere to be found. I’d love to view them but I can’t. Can someone assist me?
I can’t find the newest video (first day of school) on the oltl page it just has the 3 previous videos. AMC has theirs up I downloaded that one in case they shared it but that is only AMC and I don’t care about that one. Did they take it down for some reason. I really want to see Tea tearing into Mathew
I hate iTunes..
It was the most evasive program I ever had in my PC and I took it out and freed up a huge amount of storage space getting rid of the bandwidth thief..
dumb thing was in my drivers etc too..
And it is a nightmare to navigate,, confusing.
I go to Amazon for my movies, download music etc..
One clean click and the download is done and music mine 🙂
I know some people will be forced to use iTunes to watch the 2 soaps, but HuLu is 100 times better and one click.
I will stay with HuLu:)
So far, I agree with you. Just signed up with iTunes today. The customer service person I spoke with had no information about OLTL or AMC. He didn’t seem to have heard of either and certainly had no information about them being available on iTunes. What he did tell me was episodes of TV shows cost $2-$3 per episode or a bulk rate of $26 per series season. He said we would have to wait until the shows air to learn the actual price of these shows. If this is true, and I’m not sure it is since this guy had no information about OLTL or AMC, Hulu seems like a better source.
It’s looking like .99 cents per episode on iTunes.
If you’re looking at more than 8 shows a month, Hulu plus is cheaper
I’ve been re-loading iTunes and checking Hulu and can NOT find this clip!!!
I watched the OL clip earlier,and Tea definitely drops an F Bomb,but when I went to watch again,the clip had been removed from ITunes.
Can someone post a link so we can see it if we don’t have itunes?
It’s not listed on iTunes. Apparently there is rumor it was pulled. I watched the preview video and when it ended the list of videos showed up with the newest one. I had watched it earlier so I’m not sure if that is why it popped back up that way.
Oh, PP pulled the OLTL video because they were careless and might have made a confirmation they wished to avoid. We missed it. I hope someone can post it for us.
I saw the video yesterday morning when it first came out. PP pulled the video a few hours later because in it someone put a scene in a hospital and in the background in a far off doorway was Trevor St John(Victor Lord Jr). I guess his being on OLTL was supposed to be a guarded secret but SOMEONE boobed up big time.
I saw that too…..HA!! The Real Todd Manning Yea Baby!!!!
That is fantastic news. I so want Trevor back.
not the real Todd Manning – his twin Victor Lord Jr. The real Todd is played by Roger. But love them both. Since both showed up I like Todd with Blair and Victor with Tea cuz they are really good chemistry together> It goes to show all for actors are great because no matter which combo they are currently in they are all good.
