It was so good to see Susan, Alisha and Eden together again 🔥

[@whitneydavis7443]

The love and respect the three of them have for each other is amazing.

[@loveanddreambig]

Eden’s portrayal of Bianca definitely saved my life. I was home sick from school one day when I was 12, and I was just flipping through channels when I stumbled across AMC and it was a scene with Bianca and it blew my mind. I already knew that I was attracted to other girls, but seeing a person like that on tv for the first time in my life made me realize that it just might be ok. I could never thank her (and the writers) enough.

[@TheLocherRoom]

Thanks for sharing that with me. I'm so glad you are still with us and that it had such an impact. I hope you're are living your life happy and truthfully today.

@@TheLocherRoom Did you know that Eden Riegel is also a voice director for Amphibia, The Owl House, & The Ghost and Molly McGee?

[@justinmckenzie4276]

All My Children lost so many great actors and actresses. If they were to bring the show back in some way, it will never be the same again. Most of the originals are gone. We only have Susan Lucci who was there from the beginning.

[@givemeshelter.]

Who died? I know Palmer died but who else did we lose?

[@whitneydavis7443]

Ray McDonnell (Joe Martin), David Canary (Adam/Stuart Chandler), Michael Nader (Dimitri Marrick)

Love these 3 women. Miss AMC so much

[@brinsonopinion]

This was wonderful to watch. I'm a lifelong (literally watching since the early 70s) AMC fan & Erica was everything to me. I remember every onscreen moment mentioned here. Alan I want to pay you the highest compliment I could pay someone in your position here: you stayed out of the way BEAUTIFULLY! So many online hosts/interviewers try too hard to insert themselves into an event like this when the focus should be and IS the guests. These three women had ample space to communicate freely, summon up memories & bounce from topic to topic through natural word/thought associations from their iconic & shared history. And that's because you functioned as a facilitator, a launchpad for that by asking the right questions...and then letting THEM speak. Congrats, well done!

[@TheLocherRoom]

That means the world to me, Scott. Thank you for watching and your words.

[@MalibuSkipper]

How awesome! And they all look fantastic. Always loved the Kane Women

[@TheLocherRoom]

They did look beautiful! Thanks for tuning in.

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

This was a treat, thank you. Eden's Bianca was landmark television period. She deserved that Emmy. All 3 ladies are ageless and were wonderful on that much-missed soap. ABC's egregious mistake of all time was to cancel AMC and replace it with what? Nothing else has worked in that time period. I met Eden at a special event just before her Emmy win and she is a lovely person. I wish I had asked her at the time (when someone presented her a cast photo to sign) about what she learned from the old pros on the show--Eileen Herlie (wasn't Myrtle such a hoot of a great character?!) who was Olivier's Gertrude in the Best Picture of 1949; Grand Dame Ruth Warwick who was Orson Welles' 1st Mrs. Kane in that great classic film of all time, and the wonderful James Mitchell who so elegantly played Palmer and who appeared with Astaire in one of the all-time great movie musicals The Band Wagon and who danced Agnes DeMille's choreography as Curly in the dream ballet in Oklahoma. Just think of working with folks like that and the show biz history they represented. I still kick myself for not asking her if she got to hang out with them and hear their stories.

[@cajayson8301]

Eden should have also won the Emmy in 2001 (Bianca's coming out story arc) or in 2004 (Bianca's rape). She was fantastic in each story. I can see her loss in 2001 since the winner seemed to pick strong tapes as well but the victor in 2004 appeared to not have solid material.

[@loriflori]

These three.... what can anyone say? All iconic, wonderful Kane women. It's amazing they all look the same! Great bones. Wonderful people, lovely inside and out. A joy to listen to and reminisce with.

[@TheLocherRoom]

The question not asked is are they coming back to the reboot Pine Valley. I love them so damn much. I would love to work with them

[@DianWilsonSoul]

OK We would ALL be very Happy if you All of EK's children returned to the screen together!!! We can work an AWESOME story line around just you 3. The epitome of "All My Children". Can we keep the name or do we need to change it to reboot this gorgeous energy???

Right? I love spending time with these three.

[@greenlee7smythe]

I hope Eden reads this comment: Eden, thank you for saving my life! I was 16 in 2000 and because of Bianca’s courage and strength (through your portrayal), I was able to come out and tell my Dad I was gay. I was constantly picked on at school for being feminine and girly as I am a guy and called horrible names and just bullied relentlessly. I never truly felt more alone than in 2000 and contemplated suicide many times that year. I told myself over the summer of that year, “that’s it! I can’t do this anymore! I don’t wanna be here!” And decided before the year was out I was going to end it all, but you saved me! I realized I wasn’t alone and someone shared my pain and it gave me the courage to speak up and out and to stand up for myself and once I did at school, everyone left me alone. It got better. I mean it didn’t stop completely, but it got better. If ever I adopt or have a daughter in any way shape or form and I am given the choice to name her, I have decided on “Bianca Eden” in honor of you because if it wasn’t for you, I would not be alive today. Thank you! I love you! ❤️

That scene between Kendall and Bianca that Eden is describing at the 39 minute mark - that’s what got me back into All My Children big time. I had stopped watching for about maybe 7-8 years at that point. It was amazing in every aspect. It was sort of like the true moment of conception (of Miranda).

Mr ALAN LOCHMAN THANK you for this wonderful interview with 3 AMAZING TALENTED BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. I have been an AMC fan since the show started in 1970. I started watching it at age 11. I am now 62 and I'm excited about the reboot, but hope some of the same actors/actresses will be in the new show. How about trying to get these 3 actresses, WALT WILEY, REBECCA BUDIG & CAMERON MATHISON. I would also LOVE to see CADY MCCLAIN, MICHAEL J KNIGHT, etc. Just bring back as many of the original characters as you can.

[@cajayson8301]

This was AWESOME! Thank you so much! You can tell these three great actresses and women have so much love and respect for each other. I actually spoke to Eden Riegel via phone back in May/2008 when my friend hosted a blog talk radio show. She was such a sweetheart! I treasure that convo. I recall during that talk that I asked Eden if Susan had it in her contract that Erica could not be referred to as "grandma" or refer to Spike, Ian, Miranda, Gabrielle as her "grandchildren" LOL. Eden said she was sure that was not the case due to how easygoing Susan was but that it was the writers doing since Erica is so vain. Obviously I was joking around with the question and even Eden gave a nice chuckle to it. I still laugh to this day at how nobody in Pine Valley called Erica "grandma". There's no doubt, if he could, Adam would relentlessly tease her about it! Ahh the days of AMC aka my favorite show ever ;)

[@der22672]

I haven't watched the whole interview yet but just curious if it was brought up about the possibility of AMC being rebooted yet again, this time as a prime time soap. It's being produced by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos production company. Obviously it would be completely different than the soap we all loved, and at this point no one knows much about the plot or characters. I would have loved to have gotten their perspective on it especially Susan's. Or are we just beating a dead horse. 😊😊😊

[@TheLocherRoom]

We did have a great discussion about it near the end of the show. I hope you'll tune in.

Are we all just pretending Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kendall never happened?

[@TheLocherRoom]

Never!

[@whitneydavis7443]

She was mentioned a few times at the beginning.

[@loriflori]

I think the point was these three Kane women had all these major interactions with each other. SMG was before that time, and interaction was really just between Susan and her at that point in time. No one is forgetting her, she was also great. But these three were together for these landmark story lines, so they have that unique bond.

[@KrisBryant99]

@@whitneydavis7443 You're missing the POINT though! Lucci obviously cant stand Gellar so she dances around her name every time it's mentioned.
