The Real Greenlee Returns... Again!		Greens is a go!
Budig backers, you’ve gotten your wish: A rep for ALL MY CHILDREN confirms that Rebecca Budig will return to the role of Greenlee later this year! Though the soap had no first airdate for the returning actress, she is likely to begin taping in New York before AMC moves to Los Angeles in December. Budig created the role in 1999 and left in 2005 before returning last year and leaving around the time Bianca and Reese got hitched. As for the presumed-dead Greens, we never saw her body, and Ryan ID’d her remains based solely on her one-of-a-kind engagement ring, so it was only a matter of time before Greenlee returned to Pine Valley, right? And it’s not exactly like AMC headwriter Charles Pratt Jr. has been able to hide his enthusiasm for bringing Ryan’s ex back to the canvas. “From the moment that Greenlee rode the motorcycle in her wedding dress off the cliff, as I said, this is not the end of the story,” he told In Depth a few months back. “This is the beginning of a story.”

Most Of Pine Valley Moving West!		Lucci is packing her bags!
ALL MY CHILDREN just wouldn’t be AMC without Susan Lucci’s Erica Kane — and now it won’t have to.

Lucci told the Associated Press she will commute to the set and maintain her residence in New York. Some notable absences from the regular cast include Ray MacDonnell (Joe), who is retiring. MacDonnell is the only other original cast member who has been with the soap since its first episode in 1970. The fate of fan favorite couple Kendall and Zach is up in the air; Alicia Minshew (Kendall) will be on maternity leave starting in November, and Thorsten Kaye (Zach) has chosen not to relocate to Los Angeles. According to SoapNet, there's no word yet on Kaye's last AMC airdate. Also according to SoapNet, details about Chrishell Stause (Amanda) and her involvement with AMC were forthcoming. Cast members who will stay with the show inclue: Brittany Allen (Marissa), David Canary (Adam), Bobbie Eakes (Krystal), Melissa Claire Egan (Annie), Stephanie Gatschet (Madison), Ricky Paull Goldin (Jake), Vincent Irizarry (David), Shannon Kane (Natalia), Michael E. Knight (Tad), Jamie Luner (Liza), Adam Mayfield (Scott), J.R. Martinez (Brot), Cameron Mathison (Ryan), Debbi Morgan (Angie), Cornelius Smith Jr. (Frankie), Denise Vasi (Randi), Darnell Williams (Jesse) and Jacob Young (JR).
