Who Will Be Going When All My Children Moves To Los Angeles?

It has been debated among the faithful fans of All My Children, who will go? Who’s character will leave?

Wait no further….

What would AMC be without Erica Kane? Well, wonder no more Susan Lucci is staying with the show. She will commute to the set and maintain her residence in New York.

The only other original cast member Ray MacDonnell (Joe) will not be moving with the soap, he is retiring. He has been a fixture of Pine Valley for so long, he will be missed.

Alicia Minshew (Kendall) is going on maternity leave in November, so her fate is up in the air and Thorsten Kaye (Zach) has chosen not to relocate to Los Angeles. That is not surprising since his family (including Susan Haskell of OLTL) are in New York. Let’s hope the absence of this popular couple will not hurt the show.

Details about Chrishell Stause (Amanda) are not yet known. We do know the cast members staying with the show are Brittany Allen (Marissa), David Canary (Adam), Bobbie Eakes (Krystal), Melissa Claire Egan (Annie), Stephanie Gatschet (Madison), Ricky Paull Goldin (Jake), Vincent Irizarry (David), Shannon Kane (Natalia), Michael E. Knight (Tad), Jamie Luner (Liza), Adam Mayfield (Scott), J.R. Martinez (Brot), Cameron Mathison (Ryan), Debbi Morgan (Angie), Cornelius Smith Jr. (Frankie), Denise Vasi (Randi), Darnell Williams (Jesse) and Jacob Young (JR).

All My Children will tape for the last time in New York on Friday, December 11th.

Phillips Family Speaks Out About Mackenzie’s Claims

The same day Mackenzie Phillips appeared on Oprah with her shocking revelation members of her family spoke out.

Genevieve Phillips, who was married to Mackenzie’s father John Phillips from 1972 to 1985, sent a statement that Oprah read on Wednesday’s show, claiming the allegations weren’t true.

Michelle Phillips, who sang along with her husband of eight years in The Mamas and the Papas, made a statement of her own with The Hollywood Reporter’s Roger Friedman claims Mackenzie called to tell her about the affair and then called her back to tell her it was a joke.

Michelle’s daughter, Chynna Phillips, told Us Weekly that she believed Mackenzie’s revelation.

Chynna is scheduled to appear on Oprah this Friday.

Mackenzie Phillips Spills Her Secrets

While Mackenzie Phillips promotes her book, High On Arrival, she’s been spilling her family secrets. Her father was John Phillips of The Mamas And The Papas and she was a child star from American Graffiti and One Day At A Time.

First Mackenzie sat with Oprah on Wednesday and let out the bombshell that she had sex with her own father. That the “affair” lasted 10 years and what started as rape became consensual.

Thursday she stopped by The Today Show for another interview.

Mackezie also states that she became pregnant during the “affair” and because of the issue of paternity (she didn’t know if the child was her father’s or the child of the man she was seeing at the time) she chose to have an abortion.

The former wild-child also remembers a night she spent with Mick Jagger.

The book is sure to be a best seller. I would stay tuned though for family reactions.
