Soap vet Susan Lucci, whose role as Erica Kane on long-time soap All My Children began in the 1970’s, has decided not to continue with the next season.
All My Children, along with One Life to Live, have been bought by Prospect Park and will continue to air online. Despite Lucci’s wish to stay on the show, negotiations fell apart when Lucci was not given the salary and the lighter workload she asked for.
Lucci will work on a prime time show, however, beginning next season called Royal Pains.
