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.

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.
