All My Children
Facing Cancellation

Susan Lucci may soon be out of a job as ABC is considering canceling the soap opera All My Children.

All My Children's 41-year run may soon be coming to an end as ABC is considering pulling the plug on the soap opera due to record low ratings.

All My Children is joining other soap operas that have been canceled in recent years, including Guiding Light, As the World Turns and Passions. Deadline is reporting the network is considering replacing the soap with a talk show by this fall.

Cast of All My Children

Even though All My Children has launched the careers of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Amanda Seyfried, Josh Duhamel and Kelly Ripa, it hasn't resonated with recent audiences. In fact, it has been coming in last among the six daytime soaps on the air and drawing in 34 percent less viewers than last March.

One of the most famous faces on the show, Susan Lucci, who plays Erica Kane, has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy an astounding 18 times and won for the first time in 1999.

Other notable All My Children actors that would be out of a job include Rebecca Budig and Cameron Mathison.

The announcement on All My Children's fate should be announced tomorrow.

This show has been on sense I as a baby and I have watched it sense the day I was brought home from the hospital same as my daughter. This soap is legendary cancelling it and replacing it with a talk show would be a mistake. Aren’t there enough talk and reality shows. Watching AMC is my getaway from the drama . It would be a mistake to cancel AMC. I am such a fan of this show that I named my daughter Kendall. Crazy I know but I am a die hard AMC fan.

If they take this soap off, I will boycott TV!!!!! We need something that we can relate to or a show that gets us out of our life and gives us a chance to live through someone else life that is not so real. Real TV is not giving us that anymore!!! Please don't take my soap off TV!!!

All My Children is still on the air? Wow, I have to give them kudos for eeking that much drama out of such a lame-o show!

Please, Please do something with your stories. JR is no more a corporate CEO than Marisa and her sudden law degree. This new actress playing Marisa can't act. More trouble brewing involving David..Erica and Jack, is the relationship on or off. Caleb? really. Another child for Ryan...It is boring. I am not sure when it happened but "All My Children" has run its course.

GOOD! Get rid of All My Children. The alst year or so has been so bad I can't even watch it anymore and I have been a fan since the first episode. The story lines are the worst ever and I'm tired of watching girls in overly tight, strapless dresses in the middle of winter. What doctor have you ever seen with so much clevage showing like Angie Hubbard shows? The whole show is just pathetic now since they hired writer who killed off their last 2 shows they worked for. So bury it, it's been dead for a good long time. Or get some writers in tehre who know how to write for a successful soap and turn it around, but do something to stop the suffering.
