Weeks ago, All My Children announced that starting January 4, production of the show will move from New York City to Los Angeles. What was not known was which cast members were making the move -- until now.
Susan Lucci, who has played Erica Kane since the show's debut in 1970, will be going! She'll be joined by most of her castmates, including Cameron Mathison (Ryan) and Michael E. Knight (Tad).
We should note that Alicia Minshew, who plays Kendall, will start her maternity leave in November 2009 (she'll continue to air into December).
Thorsten Kaye, who plays Zach Slater, will not be relocating to Los Angeles. Ray MacDonnell -- AMC's other original cast member -- has decided to retire from acting. His character, Joe Martin, may appear occasionally, depending on storyline needs and actor availability.

I like Zach to and I just started watching it because it conflicts with my young and restless I watch it at night I want to see who the killer in ryan little daugther got me watching it her voice got my attention

I think in this economy the show moving is very selfish to all the cast and crew. For the ones that can't uproot their lives , after all their hard work and dedication is very unfair. I think it is going to be a total bust and off the air like the guiding light. I guess the unemployment rate is going higher in New York. All the good people like Myrtle (god bless her soul) Eileen, Julia Barr, Stuarts character and half the cast gone.And let's not forget Zach and Kendall. That's the first decent love story I've seen besides Jesse and Angie. We don't like change and who needs high def. Good Luck but don't say I didn't warn you. Faithful watcher for 38 years but we'll see. We love you Tad and Erica. But Ryan is to full of himself even in real life. Better stay grounded Cameron.
Erica & Ryan Please???????? I do not believe the powers that be can be this wrong. They do belong together. I also think this who killed Stewart thing is enough is enough. If you want to do who killed who make it David and leave Amanda and Jake alone. As for Zach & Kendall if Zach is truely leaving that stinks but then they need to come up with a fantastic come back for Kendall after her leave.
wow, joe martin , damn, he's great, i luv'd him on the show . and zack most likely will be going to " ONE LIFE TO LIVE " to claim his family back, cause everytime john gets a girl, thier doomed for failer...... marty and chole need to be reunited with him, sorry john, i luv ya though, but natalie will be free soon...
This is show is sinking in quicksand the whole show revolving around Ryan and his monthly conquests of a different woman is annoying. He and Erica? What? Are you kidding? Ryan also loses allthe money he inherited from Canbias and then somehow buys out everything Zach has and calls it a hositle takeover? Does anyone out their want to join me in a hostile takeoverof Microsoft? I've got some loose change. Then we go to Jackson as a leading man with Erica? He's not very manly (kinda prissy) and seems a huge mismatch with Erica. They need to put her with a strong man somewhere closer to her age. I could go on and on and on...
I'll only follow the show if Erica and Jackson are reunited. Otherwise I'm passing. Erica and Ryidiot? EWWWWWWWW
Same here, My grandma and my mom were big fans of the show and they use to put me on the floor in front of the tv when i would cry and i'd stop when Erica came on.
I will miss Zach the most, I think he is a great actor and i love his book. As for Kendall, she should leave also, because the show will not be the same without her and zach, their chemistry is awesome. Nobody can top that Not even LIZA !
I like Zack. He is the only stable person on the show.
Everyone else is impulsive and nutty. If the show changes that dramatically, it will be hard to get used to. But I guess I will since I like it so much. I am retired and enjoy watching All My Children and One Life to Live. Adam acts like he has gone completely stupid. Ryan is hard up for a woman. Kendall
needs to stay in that room. Amanda needs to set David
straight about living with him. I guess poor old Zack will get a break from both Kendall and Liza. There is really a lot of story lines on this show and I hate to see so many people not going. It will feel strange.
