(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- Two grand dames return to "All My Children" this May. Look for Jennifer Bassey to air in her first "All My Children" episodes of the year this May. Marian Colby Chandler's return will coincide with the recent returns of Marian's daughter, Liza (Jamie Luner), and step-son, Scott (Adam Mayfield), as well as the soaps reportedly shocking Monday, May 18 murder.
The wonderfully talented Bassey has played Marian off and on since 1983 and taken the character from a not so terrific mother, she bedded her daughter's boyfriend (Michael E. Knight's Tad), to the woman who surprised herself by falling madly in love with the sweet and good Stuart Chandler (David Canary). The Emmy nominee has been with "AMC" in a recurring capacity since 2003, and last appeared on the soap in May of 2008.
Jennifer Bassey makes the first of several appearances on Friday, May 22.
The lovely Lee Meriwether will retrieve Ruth Martin out of the Martin attic on Thursday, May 28 when Pine Valley bids an emotional farewell to one of it's long-time citizens. Miss America 1955 began playing the Martin matriarch in 1996.
In other news correlating with the upcoming murder mystery, "AMC" has cast the roles of D.A. Henry North and his wife. North will first appear on-screen next week. Expect to see Mr. North's wife sometime mid-June. At this time, "AMC" has not released the names of the actors who will be portraying either character.
