This week marks the end of an era, as the cast of ABC soap All My Children will film their final scenes.

After 42 years on air, the network has bumped the soap to make way for new shows. However, plans for a web series are underway, although no official deals have been made with the cast.

Susan Lucci tried to describe her final moments on set, as Perez Hilton reports her telling TV Guide, "Walking out on to the set for my first scene yesterday morning, I have to say, I started to feel it.”

Continues Lucci on playing her last moments as Erica Kane, "I had to rein my emotions back in because I had to work … but the setting was spectacular! Perfect for the last day of shooting.”

She does, however, reveal that the ending won’t be so cut and dry. “Oh, I think it's spectacular. Like any great novel, when you put it down you say, 'Well, then what?' I knew she wouldn't tie it up in a neat bow, and she really didn't. There are several cliff-hangers,” she explained.

Lucci, 64, also said of her future, "There are a lot of feelings. There's pride and excitement and gratitude and joy and celebration — and still a cloud over us because we don't know."
