What should Susan Lucci do next ? After All My Children was canceled

(CBS) Losing a job - and a job playing deliciously evil Erica Kane at that - after 41 years has to be difficult. Susan Lucci seems to be taking the cancellation of "All My Children" pretty well.

"It's been a fantastic journey," said Lucci in a statement.




So what should the Queen of Grace During Emmy Defeat do now that she’s lost her day job?

Other stars and former stars of the soaps are making their feeling known, too. "This is like losing a member of your family," said Kelly Ripa, according to Deadline. Ripa was a cast member and met her husband, castmate Mark Consuelos, on the show.
