Erica Kane – and the rest of Pine Valley – have left the building.
The final episode of ABC's All My Children aired Friday, ending the soap opera's 41-year run.
The last episode combined final elements of both Gone With the Wind (with Erica being told by Jack that he didn't give a damn) and The Sopranos, with a Jack Daniels-fueled J.R. pulling the trigger into a packed party at the Chandlers' ... though viewers didn't really know who was the target. (It seemed to be Erica.)
While such spawning career-defining characters as Susan Lucci's indelible, 12-times-married Erica Kane, the show also launched the screen careers of Kelly Ripa, Sarah Michelle Gellar (who made a guest appearance this week), Josh Duhamel, Amanda Seyfried, Melissa Leo and others.
The beloved soap often embraced farcical storylines involving baby-switching, evil twins, amnesia, and the return of characters presumed to be dead. It was also groundbreaking, particularly in its early run during the 1970s, touching upon taboo topics in it's time.
