On Friday, ABC announced that comedy icon Carol Burnett will return to All My Children (AMC) for a few episodes this fall, just a few weeks before the axed sudster wraps up a 41 year run on the small screen.
Burnett’s Grubbs first popped up in Pine Valley, Pennsylvania in 1983; playing the long-lost daughter of Langley Wallingford, played by the late Louis Edmonds. Over the past 28 years, Carol has reprised her role as Grubbs periodically. In 1984, she teamed up with screen dame Elizabeth Taylor in an AMC scene and played Grubbs again for the show’s 35th Anniversary episode in 2005. Carol “will now play Verla Grubbs one last time” opposite Susan Lucci (Erica Kane), and Jill Larson (Opal Cortlandt).
All My Children began broadcasting on ABC on Jan. 5, 1970. Bosses at The Alphabet Network pulled the plug on the show in April. The longrunning daytime dramas will come to an end in Sept. 2011. A food-themed talk show, The Chew, and a makeover show, The Revolution, will replace AMC and One Life to Live, another dumped soap opera, on the network’s daily daytime schedule.
