It looks like fans may be able to revisit Pine Valley once again. After the network canceled the long-running soap back in 2011 (it ran for 41 years), ABC is currently developing a prime time revival of the classic ABC daytime soap All My Children.
The series, titled Pine Valley will follow a young journalist with a secret agenda who arrives in town intent on exposing the dark and murderous history of Pine Valley. However, they soon become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families.
The revival will be executive produced by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, who starred on AMC as Hayley Vaughan from 1990 to 2002, and Mateo Santos from 1995 to 2002 respectively. (The two married in 1996.)
Leo Richardson (Katy Keene, EastEnders) is writing and executive producing the project, with Robert Nixon (son of AMC creator Agnes Nixon) also on board as an EP.
EW was the first to report this story, and earlier this year they held a Zoom reunion with the cast, who said they’d be up for a revival if one ever happened.
Since the new version will center around tension between the Kane and Santos families, it’s pretty much a no-brainer to bring Susan Lucci back as the iconic Erica Kane.
It’s also a way to have Kelly and Mark make appearances on Pine Valley since she seems absolutely bored doing Live with Kelly and Ryan.
