From the press release:

Real life couple and fan favorites Alexa Havins (Arabella “Babe” Carey Chandler) and Justin Bruening (Jamie Martin) return to ABC’s daytime drama “All My Children” this September.

Havins was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2005 for her role as Babe Chandler, whom she played from 2003 to 2007. In 2008 Babe suffered injuries after a series of tornadoes hit Pine Valley, which ended in her death. Bruening took over the role of Jamie Martin, Tad and Brooke’s son on “All My Children,” in 2003. When he departed the show in 2007, his character left to work at an AIDS clinic in Africa. Both actors will return in several episodes, scheduled to begin airing this September.

“All My Children” has been hallmarked for its iconic brand of humor and satire, and has been prized with more than 30 Daytime Emmy Awards over the past four decades, including the three-time top honor of Outstanding Drama Series. Praised for its socially conscious foundation, the show has been at the forefront of such issues as AIDS, rape, abortion, alcoholism, spousal abuse and racial bias, among others.

Created by Agnes Nixon, “All My Children” premiered on the ABC Television Network on January 5, 1970, as a half-hour show; seven years later it expanded to an hour. Julie Hanan Carruthers is executive producer with Lorraine Broderick as head writer. “All My Children” is produced in Los Angeles and airs MONDAY-FRIDAY (1:00-2:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

It's so cool that so many of All My Children's big name alums haven't forgotten where they came from. Watch a clip of Havins and Bruening's AMC characters Babe and Jamie meeting for the time after the jump.

Alexa Havins has come a long way since she was stealing babies from beloved lesbian icons as Babe Carey Chandler on ABC Daytime's All My Children. Even still, the beautiful, talented starlet, with the bubbly, infectious laugh, certainly hasn't forgotten where she got her start, or where she met the man who would become her husband and baby daddy (Daughter Lexington was born Aug. 9, 2010), then-costar Justin Bruening, who played Jamie Martin opposite Havins on the soap opera.

Havins then gets personal about how it felt to learn the soap opera that not only gave the young actress her start, but essentially her family, was being cancelled, only to be saved by the Internet at the eleventh hour. With so many big name alums like Josh Duhamel and Eva La Rue returning to Pine Valley before the All My Children picture book closes on network TV, will Havins and Bruening be returning as Babe and Jamie? After she answers that, Havins gives us a sneak peek at tonight's sure-to-be exciting episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day.

Pop Confidential: Congratulations on the strong debut ratings for Torchwood: Miracle Day.

Alexa Havins: You know I was curious, I just said to my husband, “I wonder how the numbers did and I don’t know what the ratings are,” so you’re the first to tell me [Laughs].

PC: I think they were 1.5 million?

AH: For cable that’s really good!

PC: Yeah, they were good.

AH: I don’t know what they’re aiming for, but you know what? It’s one of those interesting situations to be in a show that’s not like a new debut, but in a way it is new to many people stateside, so it’s interesting to see.

PC: I think I read somewhere that it matched the highest rated original scripted debut for Starz.

AH: Oh fantastic! Then they’re happy [Laughs]! That’s good, so then it won’t be uncomfortable when I see everyone at Comic-Con [Laughs]!

PC: Nope! What has it been like becoming part of the whole Dr. Who/Torchwood universe?

AH: It’s interesting to be part of a show that has such a strong legacy. I mean we all know how long Dr. Who’s been with us, and since [Torchwood creator] Russell [ T. Davis] did the revamp. The second the job offer came around I was really enticed at the opportunity to 1.) be a part of Torchwood and 2.) just to work with Russell and John [Barrowman] and Eve [Myles]. So without question, it’s a place, especially for a newcomer, to just jump in and be a part of the team and just be a part of the ride. It’s pretty mind boggling. It’s a little surreal. READ MORE
