Five Things That Happened On September 23 In Soap History

In 2011, All My Children aired its final episode on ABC after a run that kicked off on January 5, 1970. On the series finale of the beloved show, created by Agnes Nixon, the Kane/Montgomery clan enjoyed moments of family togetherness; Marian reunited with her miraculously back-from-the-dead hubby, Stuart; Adam and Brooke hosted a party at which Brot and Natalia announced their engagement, Randi and Frankie hinted that she might be pregnant, Tad gave a heartfelt toast and Adam and Brooke got engaged. Less happily, Jack dumped Erica, seemingly for good, while an inebriated JR fired his gun, resulting in the cliffhanger, "Who did JR shoot?" When AMC got its short-lived Internet reboot in 2014, JR's ex-wife, Marissa, was revealed to have been the victim, and she didn't survive.
