'All My Children' Series Finale: Liveblogging Till The End

Goodbye Forever 'All My Children': A Liveblog

After more than 40 years, "All My Children" is coming to an end.

The story of Erica Kane and all the many, many children of Pine Valley has brought us classic soap moments -- murders, twins masquerading as other twins, steamy love affairs and more. "All My Children" has also stood as one of the most progressive programs on daytime, which is traditionally a more conservative timeslot than primetime. Over its history, the show has featured the first same-sex kiss on daytime, the first transgender coming-out story, and at one point, cast an actual Iraq War veteran.

Some of the stars who made their start on the show -- Sarah Michelle Gellar and Josh Duhamel, among others-- have returned in recent days to say goodbye to the sudsy mainstay. Though production company Prospect Park has purchased the rights to continue both "All My Children" and "One Life To Live" (which will stay on air until January 2012) online, not everyone has signed on to the new format.

"All My Children" will be replaced by "The Chew" and "The Revolution," daytime talk shows about food and health, respectively.
