I can't tell you how sad I was when they were canceled. I was hopeful that they would come back in a different format, but the news didn't always make me feel very optimistic.
But they're back! TODAY!
Kind of feels like Christmas. I started watching "my stories" with my mother and grandmother, and I feel like I grew up with these characters. The Networks got it wrong. Soaps are not dying. They are not just for older viewers and stay at home moms although many in those categories love them too. Young women (and MEN) like to come home and lose themselves in these kinds of story lines. It's all fantasy, and it's all fun, and I can't wait to jump back into Pine Valley and Llanview.
If you aren't familiar with them, and always wanted to watch, now would be a perfect time to start. The format will now be a 30 minute weekday episode with a recap on Friday. They've recruited some really cool guest stars too, including Snoop Lion, Riff Raff, and Nervo.

Some AMC Facts to get you up to speed:
Since 1970, the residents of All My Children's Pine Valley, PA -- including its most famous citizen, Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) have seen their fair share of scandalous hookups, feuds, and devastating murders. Pine Valley luminaries include resident hero Ryan Lavery (Cameron Mathison), Fusion Cosmetics maven Greenlee du Pres (Rebecca Budig), perpetual troublemaker David Hayward (Vincent Irizarry), funnyman Tad Martin (Michael E. Knight), and the unforgettable romantic duo of Angie and Jesse Hubbard (Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams).
OH MAN. Look at that picture! Angie and Jesse. Dixie. Adam Chandler. BIANCA. CANNOT. WAIT.
Some OLTL facts:
The good people of Llanview, Pennsylvania, lead complicated lives. In a town of questionable marriage ethics, teenagers grow up fast and fall in love quickly. The quiet simplicity of small-town living on the Llantano River is frequently upset by an over-abundance of multiple personalities who disturb the peace. Despite the jealousy, betrayal, and occasional baby-swapping, Llanview is where the Buchanan, Lord, and Cramer families struggle to retain the strong family ties that have always united them.
Not going to lie, this has been one of my favorite shows since the dawn of time. I cried last February. Some episodes will live forever on my DVR. And look at that picture. Holy cow, everyone is on this show including Corbin Bleu as Jeffery King as well as returning actors Erika Slezak as Victoria Lord Buchanan, Robin Strasser as Dorian Lord, Tuc Watkins as David Vickers, Robert S. Woods as Bo Buchanan, Kassie DePaiva as Blair Cramer, Jerry verDorn as Clint Buchanan, Florencia Lozano as Tea Delgado, Melissa Archer as Natalie Buchanan Banks, Hillary B. Smith as Nora Buchanan, Kelley Missal as Danielle Manning, Josh Kelly as Cutter Wentworth, and Andrew Trischitta as Jack Manning. Recurring actors include: Sean Ringgold as Shaun Evans, Shenaz Treasury as Rama Patel, and Nick Choksi as Vimal Patel. Be still my heart.
They both premiere tonight at Midnight on Hulu, and will also be available on Hulu+ and iTunes. Because these shows are no longer on a regular TV network, there will be more adult content. STEAMY!
