An iconic daytime drama is getting a primetime makeover.

ABC is in early development on "Pine Valley", a primetime version of the network’s beloved daytime drama "All My Children", with popular alums Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos executive producing alongside Andrew Stearn and filmmaker Robert Nixon, son of the late AMC creator Agnes Nixon.



In the new series, written/executive produced by Leo Richardson (Katy Keene, Star), a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families.

The series explores all the secrets that come with the Kane and Santos family names.

Excited for this but a little nervous too!

Will be interesting to see if this gets picked up

Appearing at the Television Critics Association virtual winter press tour on Tuesday, Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment and Hulu Originals, answered some questions, even if vaguely, on ABC programming.

Erwich had no updates at this time on the primetime "All My Children" follow-up, titled "Pine Valley", which was sent into development over a year ago.

But he did say that he is “always open to additional iterations or explorations” of ABC’s "General Hospital" franchise.
