“There has been movement,” she teased at the time. “I wish it was a quicker movement, but yes, everything in terms of being in the right hands, as far as I know, would be in place.”

“It’s really interesting, and the concept is so good,” added Lucci, who starred in the original series in its entirety. “[It’s] in the right hands… so I’m really hoping that this is going to actually go forward.”

Although she stayed quiet on the “sporadic” details — including whether she would return — Lucci revealed what she thought her character would be like a decade later.

“With Erica, you never knew what she was going to say or do, and that made her really fun to watch,” she said. “She was full of spirit, and people identified with that spirit of her very much. So certainly, I think, the same thing that women and men could identify with would still be there,” she continued. “She was a woman you loved to hate, but, on the other hand, you also loved to love her and root for her.”

ABC’sAll My Childrenaired for 41 years — from January 5, 1970 until September 23, 2011. In 2013, a brief web series revival lasted less than a year.
