Could Erica Kane Return on ‘General Hospital’? Susan Lucci Says..
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are developing two All My Children films for Lifetime, sparking renewed interest in Erica Kane's character and the daytime soap genre.
- On February 3, while promoting her book La Lucci, Susan Lucci said she would be on board to reprise Erica Kane under the right circumstances after fan buzz on General Hospital.
- AMC's absence since 2011 has fed debate, and Lucci called ending All My Children a mistake that hurt the genre, while Beyond the Gates' February 2025 debut showed soap storytelling still resonates.
- After a 41-year run as Erica Kane, Susan Lucci emphasized the importance of being in the best hands, naming Agnes Nixon and Lorraine Broderick, and praised CBS and Julie Carruthers's long tenure.
- Developing two All My Children films, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos's Milojo company creates pathways such as crossovers or tie-ins for Erica Kane's return to Pine Valley.
- Given that audiences remain for shows like General Hospital, a return would carry substantial legacy weight from Lucci's 41-year Erica Kane portrayal and reconnect Pine Valley to daytime viewers.
