With "All My Children" ending its decades-long run on television, Agnes Nixon will make an appearance during its final month on the air.
She will once again play the character of Agnes Eckhart, a role that debuted in 2005 to celebrate the daytime drama's 35th anniversary. Eckhart sits on the board of directors of Pine Valley Hospital according to ABC who announced Nixon's return to the show.
The network's press release gave a bit of detail regarding what part Agnes Eckhart will play in the plot line of All My Children (AMC).
"This time around, Agnes Eckhardt is admitted to Pine Valley Hospital where Cara (Lindsay Hartley) and David (Vincent Irizarry) tend to her. She also crosses paths with Erica Kane (Susan Lucci). Agnes has a profound effect on all of the characters she interacts with that changes the course of their lives. Nixon’s first episode airs on August 31, 2011."
Agnes Nixon needs no introduction to fans of All My Children, a program that has won more than 30 Daytime Emmy Awards including the top honor of Outstanding Drama Series on three separate occasions. AMC was extended to a full hour on the air in its eighth season on ABC, after debuting as a thirty-minute show in 1970.
It was considered a pioneer in the genre of daytime television by inserting hot-button social issues in its scripts, thanks to Agnes Nixon.
She began her run as the queen of what were called soap operas with the program entitled "Search for Tomorrow" which premiered in 1951. After 31 years on CBS Broadcasting, "Search for Tomorrow" migrated to NBC until it went off the air after completing its 35th year in 1986.
Nixon was also behind daytime's, "One Life to Live," which made it to ABC television in 1968, a couple of years before AMC. It remains on the air to this day but its demise has already been announced. The final airing of One Life to Live will occur mid-January 2012.
Prior to her time as a creator of daytime dramas, she wrote for some of the more popular programs in that category, such as "Guiding Light" and "As the World Turns."
Both "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" will not disappear entirely. ABC announced that it had licensed the rights to both programs and they will reappear online. That original story can be found, here.
In addition to Nixon's appearance during the final days of AMC, other actors and actresses have already begun showing up during an episode or two. They include, Josh Duhamel and Carol Burnett.
