On Tuesday, January 14, 2025, daytime legend Susan Lucci will host a 55th anniversary celebratory event honoring the daytime drama series “All My Children,” where for more than 40 years she captivated audiences with her portrayal of Erica Kane, a character who quickly became a cultural icon. Look for Lucci to reflect on the creation and evolution of her character and the lasting impact of “All My Children” on television history.

Titled “Susan Lucci in Conversation with Andy Cohen: All My Children at 55,” the event will take place in person and online at the 92nd Street Y (92NY) in New York City on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Tickets start at $25 for online viewing while in-person runs between $50 and $70, depending on seating location.

Moderated by Bravo star Andy Cohen (“Watch What Happens Live!,” “The Real Housewives” franchise), fans can look forward to seeing Kelly Ripa (Hayley Vaughan Santos; “Live with Kelly and Mark”), Eva LaRue (Maria Santos), Jill Larson (Opal Cortlandt) and Eden Riegel (Bianca Montgomery), along with the show’s acclaimed casting director Judy Blye Wilson and head writer Lorraine Broderick, as they relive stories front the set, share insight into how the show broke new ground, and celebrate with fans the enduring magic that was Pine Valley.

In addition to cementing Lucci as a pop culture icon, “All My Children” set the standard for dramatic storytelling throughout its more than 10,000 episodes.

Debuting January 5, 1970 on ABC, the show tackled contemporary social issues and created unforgettable moments of love, heartbreak and triumph while helping redefine the soap opera genre for generations.

“All My Children” concluded its ABC run on September 23, 2011 while a short-lived reboot ran from April 2013 to August 2013, produced by The OnLine Network (TOLN), a division of since-defunct Prospect Park Networks (PPN). Susan Lucci did not take part in the reboot.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)
