Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are developing a prime-time version of “All My Children.”
Amateur soap opera stars are teaming up for the “Pine Valley” project, according to The Wrap.
The feature film “All My Children” originally ran on ABC between 1970-2011. It had a brief restart on The Online Network in 2013.
According to the report, the version led by Ripa-Consuelos would tell the story of a young journalist with a secret agenda to “expose the dark and deadly history of Pine Valley only to get involved in a conflict between the Kane and Santos families.”

I initially gave up shooting at other people, because [that was] my side is shaking. “
