BELOVED ACTOR THORSTEN KAYE RETURNS TO “ALL MY CHILDREN”
ABC’s Emmy Award-winning daytime drama “All My Children” welcomes back Thorsten Kaye, who originally debuted on “All My Children” in 2004. Kaye’s character, Zach Slater, was last seen happily married to Kendall Hart Slater in 2010. Viewers were shocked when Zach’s plane blew up when he was traveling to help Ryan and Greenlee, while Greenlee was on trial for David’s murder. This summer fans will be riveted as Zach returns to Pine Valley.
Kaye’s return will follow Cady McClain reprising her role as Dixie Martin on “All My Children.” In 2007, Dixie was seemingly murdered before she could be reunited with the daughter she gave away at birth. McClain’s first airdate is set for Tuesday, May 17th.
Both Zach’s return and Dixie’s will coincide with a summer filled with fan favorite character appearances and heartfelt surprises.
“All My Children” celebrated its 41st anniversary on January 5th, 2011. “All My Children” took home the 1998 Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, the third time the show received this top honor, having also garnered the award in 1994 and 1992. In 2004 the show also received its third consecutive Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series Writing, its third Writers Guild Award and its fourth GLAAD Media Award in March 2007.
Created by Agnes Nixon, “All My Children” premiered on the ABC Television Network on January 5, 1970, as a half-hour show; seven years later it expanded to an hour.
