Devious Maids is set to begin airing all-new episodes when the premiere of its second season happens tomorrow night on Lifetime beginning at 10PMEST/9PMCST!

While the interwoven stories continues for the maids, soap opera enthusiasts are also dying to know just what is in store for former All My Children icon Susan Lucci in her role of wealthy divorcee and effervescent socialite, Genevieve Delatour!

According to a preview in TV Guide with Devious Maids executive producer Sabrina Wind, it looks to be an intriguing season for Ms. Delatour! To recap at the end of season one:  Hours before Genevieve was set to tie the knot for the fourth time, her son Remi ran off to Africa and her fiancé Philippe “committed suicide.”

Now EP Wind previews for Lucci’s Delatour in season two: “Zoila (Judy Reyes) may have been the one to encourage Genevieve’s son to run off to Africa, but the two actually come to a much happier, even closer, even more fun place than they were last year.”

As to if there will be a new man in Genevieve’s life? Wind stated: “We do not have an immediate romantic relationship for Genevieve.  She is instead getting herself in trouble in all sorts of other ways.”

So are you looking forward to seeing Susan on Devious Maids? Do you kick out of her performance as Genevieve Delatour? What would you like to see happen to Ms. Delatour in season two? Let us know … but first watch a very clever edited promo for the new season below titled “OMG”!

This is a great show..So excited to see season two..Great campy fun to be had here folks..LaLucci is really good here and she is not even one of the leading actresses..Lead and supporting cast, writing and direction all deliver solid entertainment.

She is a hoot on this show! Looking forward to a fun season!

I’m excited this show is back. All the actors are so good and the stories are fun and have many twists and turns. And Susan is, as always, a delight to watch!

Genevieve is a delight but I wish they would have given her a bigger storyline or at least juicier! Susan Lucci shines here but I fear as this is a cable show she will be left out of a few episodes. You can tell an actor is good if they can stand out in a good way even if they they have a minor role or supporting role and they aren’t the bad person (Powell’s). Lucci somehow steals the show – so much fun. Okay, on the bad side, those who liked Erica Kane, a American icon, might be shocked to see Susan Lucci as a goody goody naive,neurotic, need but still nubile character and might not her not plaing the bad girl. But Lucci does amazing work with what she is given. Now she deserves an Emmy for this – but sadly it is a cable show so it might be hard and if history repeats itself Lucci has along wait for an Emmy.

So agree with you she is a lot of fun to watch on this show! Cute fun show ! This is why I was scratching my head when Globe put that story out of her being approached by JFP at Y&R they for one thing could not afford her. Still trying to figure out why MTS was making such a big deal out of the story??

How much do you think Susan Lucci makes on Devious Maids? I do think the ladies and Eric Braedon would feel threatened if Lucci went to Y and R. But if the ratings don’t pick up I wonder if Lucci will be looking for work?

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.
