All My Children - Move to New York/Have U Heard?

It has been confirmed that Thorsten Kaye will tape his final scenes in New York and will not continue as Zach when the show moves to Los Angeles.

Longtime All My Children cast member Ray MacDonnell, who plays Dr. Joe Martin, will not join the cast when the show moves to Los Angeles at the end of this year. Instead, he will retire.

In the same press release, it was confirmed that another vet, Susan Lucci, who plays Erica Kane, will continue in her role. She will not move her family to L.A., however, but will commute to tape scenes.

Others continuing in their roles include: Brittany Allen (Marissa), David Canary (Adam), Bobbie Eakes (Krystal), Melissa Claire Egan (Annie), Stephanie Gatschet (Madison), Ricky Paull Goldin (Jake), Vincent Irizarry (David), Michael E. Knight (Tad), Jamie Luner (Liza), Adam Mayfield (Scott), JR Martinez (Brot), Cameron Mathison (Ryan), Debbi Morgan (Angie), Cornelius Smith, Jr. (Frankie), Denise Vasi (Randi), Darnell Williams (Jesse), and Jacob Young (JR). Alicia Minshew (Kendall) will be on maternity leave as of November.

    I am so glad that Susan Lucci will continue on! AMC wouldn't be complete without her. I still keep reading rumors that Alicia Minshew may not be making the move.

    I can't imagine what is left for Stephanie Gatschet ? Madison...character left to do...her story line sucks to begin with.

    From..Soap Opera Central:

    Yet another big-name star will be left behind when All My Children transitions to Los Angeles in January. The ABC soap will part ways with former Guiding Light star Beth Ehlers by the end of the year. Though her arrival in Pine Valley was highly touted, the show didn't seem to know what to do with Ehlers' character.

    Kendall I don't think will make the move.....her husband has a resturant in N.Y and then she will be busy with a new baby.

    Opal might be replaced......I guess we will all have to just wait and see what really will happen...sometimes you can't beleive everything you read.

    Thanks for the info. I've been watching and waiting for some official word. I'm sad but not surprised that Thorsten won't be going. I'm hoping that OLTL brings him back. He's one of my favorites and I'd hate to lose him to another channel. As for the rest, I'm glad that so many are staying with AMC.

    Thanks for the update. I am very very sad that Zac will be leaving. He makes the show interesting and fun and is the only man in the world who can handle Kendall. What will Kendall do without him? I hope and pray they don't kill him off. Maybe they can someday replace him with someone as handsome, as stunning, as dreamy ... no, they can't ever find a man as wonderful as him.

    Keep us posted so we will know. My heart is broken, but he will live on in my dreams.
