The married couple, who starred on the original All My Children, are developing Pine Valley, a primetime version of the beloved soap, which aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. AMC creator Agnes Nixon's son, filmmaker Robert Nixon, is on board as an executive producer. In Pine Valley, written by Leo Richardson, "a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families," per Deadline. "The series explores all the secrets that come with the Kane and Santos family names. Kane was one of AMC’s founding families, with Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) becoming one of television’s most popular characters."

You can't possibly reboot this daytime show and not invite the face of the show for decades. But, that is the plan right now because the actors/producers/hosts who are rebooting the show hate the actress for some imagined slight from years ago.

I think this is very interesting. I loved this show and was so sad to see it go. Followed it to Hulu and hated the laziness that followed; they tried it just sadly didn't work out. It will be interesting to see what happens. Would LOVE to see Vincent Irizarry return.

As for this feud with Susan Lucci; I really can't see it being a reason why Erica wouldn't be on the show. The show has the Kanes involved as a 'major family.' to me, you can't have All My Children without Erica Kane and I think vocal fans would push that fact toward the network. So, we'll see.
