ALL MY CHILDREN legend Susan Lucci will be starring in the new Lifetime soap opera DEVIOUS MAIDS starting in 2012, but first, she will host and narrate DEADLY AFFAIRS, a new primetime series airing on Investigation Discovery. The show will explore true stories of romance gone wrong and the crimes of passion that resulted. It premieres September 8 at 10 p.m. ET"They are deceptive love relationships, love triangles and betrayal that have deadly consequences," Lucci said. "And they end in tragedy.
"Every day you hear these stories and you think, 'Oh, my goodness!' Then they disappear. You don't know what happened next, and you don't know why they happened. I'm hoping that, in exploring them, we'll shed some light on human nature."
Lucci played Erica Kane for all 41 years ALL MY CHILDREN was on the air.
"As Erica, I got punished for my wrong deeds," Lucci noted. "I wound up in jail several times, even in a blood-stained ball gown. But with DEADLY AFFAIRS, these are not characters on a soap opera. This is real life."
Describing her new show as a "real-life soap," she called her hosting role "a perfect match," adding, "I couldn't help but smile" after getting the series offer.
Lucci has appeared guest shots on the Lifetime drama ARMY WIVES and TV Land's sitcom HOT IN CLEVELAND this year.
