All My Children star Susan Lucci was voted off Dancing with the Stars last night.

As anyone who has followed this actress' career would expect, though, she handled the elimination with nothing but class.

“I feel so much gratitude for the opportunity to have this particular experience in my lifetime. I want to thank all you wonderful audience members here, the fans…and most importantly i need to thank this dancer, this incredible teacher, this incredible man, Tony Dovolani.”

Might this be Susan Lucci's final performance on Dancing with the Stars?

The All My Children star and partner Tony Dovolani earned 24 points for their Paso Doble last night. Not terrible. But not outstanding, either, as the competition grows tougher and tougher.

Susan Lucci has been on All My Children for decades.

Still, the actress told OK! that she has no plans on leaving the show any time soon.

“I don’t see a time. This character is fantastic and the American public seems to embrace her and it makes me so happy,” the actress said.

The 10,000th show of All My Children, meanwhile, will air in November. It's providing Susan with a chance to “look back on some of the happy times." Some of her favorite scenes?

The ones that had Erica Kane working as a model in New York City in the 1980s shot at Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan museum.

"All of that comes back to me," she said. "That was so much fun!”

We're gonna try to capture the essence of what Erica Kane is...

- Tony Dovolani

After being referred to as "timid" last week, Susan Lucci was tasked to bring out her inner Erica Kane last night - and it worked wonders!

The All My Children star and partner Dovolani earned the second highest score of the night for their Tango. Watch the performance (and a quick clip of Dovolani making a cameo on All My Children) below:

It wasn't the best night on Dancing with the Stars for Susan Lucci.

During a recent interview with BuddyTV, Dancing with the Stars professional Tony Dovolani was asked about partner Susan Lucci.

Here's what he had to say about the All My Children star:

Being partnered with Susan Lucci, I'm a big fan of hers to start with, and then on top of it, to get to dance with her was quite an incredible journey so far. She's such an incredible icon. She's the queen of daytime. And to be as humble as she is and as normal as she is, she's a genuine, genuine person, and I really feel that I'm blessed.

You know, this season, I was blessed with my twins, and then on top of it, I'm dancing with Susan Lucci, and on top of it, I'm in New York, which means I'm home – I get to stay home – I think somebody's looking out for me.

So far, so good for Tono Dovolani and Susan Lucci.

Susan Lucci performed the Rumba last night on Dancing with the Stars.

Prior to the routine, which earned a decent score of 21 from the judges, the All My Children actress consulted with co-star and season five contestant, Cameron Mathison. Watch it all now:

Susan Lucci has more reasons to smile this morning than she did 24 hours ago.

After a disappointing opening number Monday night, the All My Children actress and partner Tony Dovolani earned a solid 22 last night for their Quickstep. It was set to the song "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon."

As far as Dancing with the Stars judges went, Carrie Ann Inaba said Lucci showed vast improvement; Len Goodman thought she did well, but he asked for a bit more oomph from the star; and Bruno Tonioli praised the actress for her grace.
