Although there are not firm reboot plans are in place yet, former viewers of the two now-defunct shows can rest easy knowing that the powers that be are exploring such options.

Burke said, “There’s nothing that I can report definitively, but I can tell you it’s something we’re thinking about and looking into and having conversations about.” “Should there be the right opportunity, we will revisit… We’re really looking at everything, other models and ways of telling those stories,” she added.

During the 1970s, daytime was saturated with several soaps including “The Guiding Light,” “As the World Turns,” “All My Children,” and “Another World.” But four decades after, daytime soaps significantly reduced and now, all that’s left are four sudsers including “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “General Hospital,” and “Days of Our Lives.”

“All My Children” ended their run in 2011 while “One Life To Live” ended during 2012. The shows lasted for 41 and 43 years, respectively, before they were terminated and replaced with “The Chew” and “The Revolution.” The latter didn’t last that long since it ended after six months on the air and then was replaced by “Good Afternoon America.” “The Chew,” on the other hand ran for seven seasons before it got replaced by “GMA Day,” which was later on rebranded as “Strahan & Sara.”

“All My Children” and “One Life To Live” were revived briefly on the Online Network back in 2013. But the rights to the show’s characters were returned to ABC. This was not the first time that a possible reboot of the two soaps was brought up. Back in February, Burke was asked about the same thing. She simply responded, “There might be some conversation about that. There might be.” At that time, she also praised the performance of “General Hospital” and teased that the show is sure to have a long future ahead.
