All My Children 40th Anniversary Guest List by Michael Logan November 11, 2009 01:28 PM EST

ABC has big plans to celebrate the 40th anniversary of All My Children on January 5. The return of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos as Hayley and Mateo Santos has already been announced but here—in a TV Guide Magazine exclusive—is the rest of the fabutastic guest list. Fans can look forward to the return of two-time Emmy winner Julia Barr (Brooke), CSI: Miami star Eva La Rue (Maria), Taylor Miller (Nina), Laurence Lau (Greg) and Leven Rambin (Lily). Eden Riegel (Bianca) has also agreed to return but only for that episode. Plans to bring her back full-time have fallen through, despite the fact she now lives in L.A. and AMC is moving there in December. ABC has yet to release details about the anniversary plot and what brings all these favorites back to the show but we do know this: It all has to do with Ripa’s character, who will return to Pine Valley on some sort of business involving her TV talk show. More news coming!

That's alot of people for one episode. I hope they can do each of them justice in 30-something minutes.

I don't want this to be like the 35th anniversary episode where they had Richard Shoberg listed as one of the guests but all Tom did was stand in the background taking pictures.

That's a good list, for the most part. Leven is a random return considering they're phasing Jack out big time. Do we know if she'll be playing Lily or Ava? Very happy about Nina, Greg, and Brooke, though. Brooke needs to be back FULL-TIME. But the show has to get better first.

I'm bummed that there's no Nick Davis. Yeah, he hasn't been a regular character on the show in over 30 years, but his appearance in 2005 made me feel good...made me feel that there was still a link between the show's beginning and its present.

I think they compiled a pretty good list of returners. Outside of Cady McClain or some of the other dead characters, I don't see many of the alive ones that could still be relevant (maybe Justin Breuning sans Alexa Havins), aside from Skye or other children of existing characters. And I don't think bringing back a ton of people that were on the show ages ago would do much now, since most of the viewers have left from those time periods.

LMFAO. Or just as some random nurse or character. That'd be nice even, just as a nod. :(

    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
