All My Children


All My Children Information

All My Children (abbreviated as AMC) is]</ref> Prospect Park officially began negotiations with the actors of All My Children on September 15, 2011. On September 19, 2011, Cameron Mathison and Lindsay Hartley became the only actors that had agreed to continue the show with Prospect Park.

Prospect Park initially intended for All My Children to begin its run on the internet on September 26, 2011, but has since revealed that the transition could be delayed until 2012 because it had to negotiated a new contract with the union representing the actors of All My Children. On September 27, 2011, Prospect Park announced that All My Children along with its sister soap One Life to Live would be relaunched in January 2012 on the company's new internet channel, The Online Network. But on November 10, 2011, several sources reported that Prospect Park had indefinitely suspended its plans to relaunch All My Children and that the company would concentrate solely on the higher-rated One Life to Live. Reasons given for this decision were lack of funding coupled with Prospect Park not being able to sign enough cast members from All My Children.

On November 23, 2011, Prospect Park confirmed that it officially suspended its project, not only to continue All My Children, but also One Life to Live. Reasons given by Prospect Park for this decision include funding problems and poor negotiations with the unions representing the cast of both soaps. WGA and AFTRA, which respectively represent the writer and the actors, have both expressed disappointment over Prospect Park's announcement.

Second attempt

On December 17, 2012, Deadline Magazine reported that revival plans for All My Children and One Life to Live had resurfaced. A few days later, it was reported that Prospect Park had secured studio place in Stamford, Connecticut; where both shows would be filmed. Formerly, ?'All My Children'' had been filmed in New York City from 1970 to 2010, and in Los Angeles from 2010 to 2011.

Within the weeks following the reports; Lindsay Hartley, Vincent Irizarry, Debbi Morgan, Darnell Williams, Jordi Vilasuso, Jill Larson, Thorsten Kaye, Cady McClain, David Canary, Julia Barr and Ray MacDonnell were reported and/or confirmed to be returning to the show's revival, while Susan Lucci will reportedly return for one episode, Eden Riegel will be returning for a guest-arc, Cameron Mathison may return to the revival in the future, and Alicia Minshew will return for one episode with the possibility of returning in the future.

Along with the returning stars, confirmed to be new to the show are Ryan Bittle as JR Chandler, Robert Scott Wilson as Pete Cortlandt, Eric Nelson as an aged AJ Chandler, Denyse Tontz as an aged Miranda Montgomery, Sal Stowers as Cassandra Foster, and Jordan Lane Price as a newly created character named Celia Fitzgerald.

On January 7, 2013, Prospect Park released an official statement, confirming plans to revive All My Children and One Life to Live on The Online Network; their internet production company. Prospect Park inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soap opera's production.

Former All My Children writer and producer Ginger Smith will return to the series as the new executive producer and Agnes Nixon will work as a consultant. New episodes will be 30 minutes long and will air on Hulu, Hulu Plus, and iTunes. The revival show is expected to return on April 29, 2013, and will begin production on February 25, 2013 in Connecticut, with All My Children and One Life to Live filming in two-week rotations for 17 weeks.
