Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos Plot All My Children Movies for Lifetime
Ripa reveals two AMC films are in development for Lifetime, with Susan Lucci hinting at a possible Erica Kane return.
Kelly Ripa announced on her Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast that she and husband Mark Consuelos, through their production company, are developing two All My Children movies for Lifetime. The project is in the very early stages, but Ripa shared her excitement about revisiting the long-running soap, where she and Consuelos first met.
Susan Lucci, who starred as Erica Kane for decades, weighed in on the idea with enthusiasm. The 79-year-old icon said she would love to reprise Erica Kane and would be willing to read scripts to see if returning to the character would be right for her. The possibility of Lucci rejoining the AMC universe adds an extra layer of nostalgia for fans who followed the show through its 41-season run before its final episode in September 2011.
All My Children remains a touchstone of daytime television, and the news of new Lifetime films has sparked conversations about how the beloved characters would be reimagined for a new generation. Ripa and Lucci’s potential reunion—on screen or off—has already generated buzz among longtime viewers, who remember AMC for its iconic storylines and the real-life chemistry between its stars. While the project is in early development, fans are hopeful that these two films could bring Erica Kane back to life and introduce a fresh chapter to the AMC legacy.
