Daytime Confidential has a series of other Ricky Paull Goldin from his first day on set.
As usual, a series of fun, exciting story lines are awaiting All My Children fans. Here's a look at the ones for next week...
One is coming back from hell. One, from heaven. But two new characters will shake up All My Children in the near future.
Indeed on April 30, daytime megastar Ricky Paull Goldin who just exited Guiding Light will join All My Children as the new Jake Martin. Viewers will discover that Jake, who left town in 2003 to join Doctors Without Borders in Africa, is currently held captive in Darfur, where he is being forced to treat one of the illegal armies.
As TV Guide reports, two episodes later, Emmy winner Cady McClain will rejoin the show as Dixie Martin... in the form of an angel
"Jake comes back emotionally scarred and with a very big secret," executive producer Julie Carruthers said. "He does not want to see his family. He wants to get back to the land he's grown to love."
Here's a brief look ahead at next week's All My Children episodes...
Laurence Lau, a Pine Valley cast member as Greg Nelson from 1981-1986, will return to All My Children for several episodes. He'll first appear again on May 20.
Lau, who later starred on One Life to Live as Sam, rose to daytime prominence as Nelson, alongside Kim Delaney's Jenny. Greg will be back to reunite with old pals Angie and Jesse, as well as brother-in-law Tad.
Yaya Dacosta, the runner-up on season three of America's Next Top Model, has been cast on All My Children.
The model will portray Cassandra Foster, the daughter of Dr. Angie Hubbard (Debbi Morgan). Cassandra was adopted by Angie and her ex-husband, Jacob. Cassandra and made her debut on ABC's The City.
In that soap's final episode, Angie and Jacob (played by Darnell Williams, who currently plays Jesse on All My Children, of course) found an abandoned Cassandra and brought her home with them.
Cassandra arrives in Pine Valley on April 25 and meets her mother's first husband and current boyfriend, Jesse.
Don't expect the family reunion to be all roses, however: Cassandra will be pulled into the sinister plan Rob (David Rasche) has in store for Jesse.
Let's take a peek at the week ahead on All My Children...
Who would have thought that teen R&B group B5 is would be a big fan of All My Children?
Whether this is true or this is just for publicity's sake, the group is headed to Pine Valley on April 25. It'll be singing its song "Erika Kain," fresh off the album "Dont Talk, Just Listen."
The song's video features Erica in handcuffs. Seriously!
Here's what you can look forward to this week on All My Children...
Attention, All My Children fans: This just in, from ABC.com:
"You wanted it, you got it! Cady McClain returns to All My Children as Dixie Cooney Martin on Friday, May 2."
The network added:
"Dixie is back in Pine Valley with a mission: She's reuniting Tad with their long-missing daughter, Kate! As the audience knows, Kate was stolen at birth, put up for adoption and now lives with Nurse Julia under the name of Kathy. Only Adam Dixie's evil ex-husband and Tad's lifelong enemy knows the truth that Kathy is Tad and Dixie's child.
"When last seen in January 2007, Dixie fell victim to a serial killer.... "
But that's just a silly detail All My Children can easily overcome, right?
"Her ghost watched as Tad received a comforting hug from Kathy. It was then that Dixie realized Kathy was really her daughter. Now, with her angelic hand, Dixie will guide Tad into the loving embrace of their little girl. This is drama you can't miss!"
