"The Great and the Least
The Rich and the Poor
The Weak and the Strong
In Sickness and in Health
In Joy and Sorrow
In Tragedy and Triumph
You are All My Children"
All My Children is a daytime serial that airs every weekday on the ABC Broadcasting Network. Premiering on
January 5th, 1970, the series is set in Pine Valley, Pennsylvania, a town that, while quiet and calm on the surface, is truly the backdrop for the romances, schemes, scandals, trials, and tribulations of the cast of one of the most well-known and popular daytime dramas of all time. The series was created by
Agnes Nixon (also the creator of other historic daytime serial
One Life to Live), and currently airs at 1:00 P.M. (12:00 P.M. Central Time). The series has won the Daytime Emmy for
Outstanding Drama Series in 1992, 1994, and 1998. The series still retains two original cast members,
Susan Lucci (
Erica) and
Ray MacDonnell (
Joe).
