‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Looks amazing!
The show needs either Erica or Kendall to anchor it, like Viki anchors OLTL.
Alicia Minshew has nothing going on, she needs to sign on to be Kendall again. I think AMC’s plan was to pass the show from Erica to Kendall anyways, prime opportunity.
They have neither Erica nor Kendall. The actress, Alicia Minshew came back for an episode and it’s reported that Erica has returned for one episode as well, but it could be just a rumor.
Just because Susan isn’t on the show, does not mean over a dozen actors and crew can’t go on with the show.
And as for Alicia, she is currently prepping for a play and has other opportunities in the works.
Making blanket statements like Alicia Minshew has nothing going on is ridiculous. She’s a working actress, with a full schedule. She’s not just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring! She’s filming a movie this spring, is slated to star in a pilot and also works on an online drama series. Maybe YOU have nothing going on.
I honestly believe that it would be best to just recast the role of Kendall. I know that Alicia has a lot of die hard fans out there, but I see nothing wrong with moving forward with a new actress. After all, Alicia was a recast….As for Susan Lucci, I think the show will be fine is she is put in recurring status and appears when she has the opportunity. PP can utilize Julia Barr, Cady McClain, Jill Larson or Debbie Morgan to anchor the show. I would like to see Susan on a more regular basis, but think the show will survive just fine, if she’s put in a need-to-show only basis (like when there’s a big story going on for Bianca).
But in the overall spectrum of things, I believe that both shows are going to have to make some recasts in order to drive more stories. And as a long time soap watcher, I can deal with seeing the proper actor replace another, in order to improve story development.
the show must go on! Kendall can be recast easily and at this point, i dont think she is a “must”. Let the newbies develop their roles and all will be fine.
I love both AMC and OLTL previews!!! That end. 🙂
Many ”kids” just like the AMC of the 1970’s ..
It is starting out with a mystery, I like that ..
I always loved both soaps near equally, but now I think OL will be the front runner., with me..
Nonetheless, I am a die-hard fan of both soaps and can’t wait to see them once again..
Looking forward to this… very good teaser. Too bad we don’t have more Cain women in it but I have been so lost without this show I will be happy to see my stories again and I will take it with an open mind!! Welcome back AMC!!!!
That was neat. I liked how they filmed outside and the music was good too. I am on the edge of my seat and can’t wait to have both of them back in my life. This is just thrilling and a joy all wrapped up in a big pink bow! Here we go again! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The outdoor scenes look great, and it has its moments…dont mind the teens but alltogether it just doesnt seem itll be as good as OLTL. ill have to just wait and see first!
I think it looks like a great new show but this isn’t the old AMC. I didn’t recognize 90% of these charactors. I’m going into this as a new show and not expecting anything more but I do think that they will lose many of those fans (after the initial few weeks) who wanted it the way it used to be.
The location shots look great!
WOW Just WOW!!! I love all the outdoor scenes! To see Brooke and Adam is just beyond words. Seeing Dixie Hug Adam brought tears to my eyes! I can not wait for the 29th!!!
Loving the location shoots. It’s going to be so brilliant to have AMC back in my life. Marissa was definitely killed off; Marissa or someone else close to Bianca. Still wish CBL was coming back. But AMC looks so amazing and like it should have been during the Pratt years! Cannot wait to venture into Pine Valley once again, all rejuvenated!
The new AMC, it looks to me to be a really solid half hour drama, the way daytime soaps should be. Great to see the returning performers and I look forward to figuring out who the new youngsters are portraying. Love the location shooting, Stamford area makes a terrific stand in for Pine Valley!
The exterior shots are OUTSTANDING-all in all, a great preview. But, of course, the complainers are once again being selfish. Quit worrying about who’s NOT there-and appreciate who is. These people have taken a leap of faith, primarily because of their love of AMC and the fans, and it’s time to suck it up and take the leap with them. Once again, if AMC-and OLTL-fail under the weight of people’s unrealistic expectations, there’s no bringing them back
Troy – as I said before, this is a “new” show. Problem is people are refusing to admit that it’s a “reboot” and want it to be the same AMC. I feel these folks are in for a rude awakening and will probably drop off within a couple of weeks time. I don’t blame the marketing department for trying to gain new viewers – as they should. I’ll be watching but with the expectation that this is a “new” show with SOME roots in the old AMC.
i love how they showed the picture book from the early 90s at the end. Gives me a walk down memory lane when Erica’s pic would fall into the page and the book would close…. I LOVE that my soap is BACK!!!
Opal, Jesse, Angie, Thor and David, um, let me see…guess that’s it. 4 good actors lured into a pile of crap. I said I’d watch a couple of episodes out of curiosity. But this ‘teaser’ has pretty much summed it all up for me before it even begins. Don’t think I even have to bother with HULU. Back to my television, news programs and re-runs of AMC BEFORE all the drek and the new demo appear. Sorry. This looks like a real dud.
Bianca, Brooke, and Adam are also back. I am going to give it a try but I think most of the story lines will involve the new young actors. I am not sure why they don’t recast Kendall. Hopefully Tad will return. Hope Erika returns also. I just don’t think they are going to get enough young viewers to make up for the older viewers they are going to lose. I would celebrate the return of AMC if it was truly a return to AMC. I know they think that older viewers will not watch online but all my friends and I have iPads. It is going to be so sad to see these soaps not make it again. These soaps have a large fan base that would watch if they just hadn’t changed it so much.
I can’t wait until AMC comes back on?? lets go!!!!
I think veteran viewers will be disappointed after the initial,excitement wears off. Especially if they think stories will revolve around the veterans. I have low expectations and I’m unsure whether to bother with all the new kids.
