The husband and wife acting duo will return to “All My Children” for the show’s 40th Anniversary episode, Brian Frons president, Daytime, Disney-ABC Television, announced on Friday.
This will be the first time either actor has appeared on the show since they left in 2002. The milestone special episodes will air on January 4 and 5, 2010.
Kelly’s current daily TV home, “LIVE! With Regis and Kelly,” will cover the couple’s return to Pine Valley with an exclusive first look that will air on the popular morning talk show in November.

The characters quickly became one of daytime television most popular super couples both on screen and off. In fact, it was their meeting on “All My Children” that brought this real-life couple together.
Kelly and Mark have been married for 14 years and three children together.
“All My Children” will celebrate its 40th Anniversary on January 5, 2010.
