The Kane Family is a fictional family on the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children, and reside in the fictional town of Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. The family debuted when the show debuted, being one of the core families on the show. Alongside the Martins and the Tylers.
The Kane Family started when Eric Kane married Mona Kane. In a short while they had a daughter, the infamous Erica Kane. Eric never gave attention to Erica, abandoning her at age 9. Eric was a famous Hollywood movie director. At age 14, Erica was raped by her father's friend, actor Richard Fields, leading to the birth of her first child, daughter Kendall Hart. Erica gave her baby girl up for adoption because she was too young for a child and could not raise her and give her a good life.
Mona Kane divorced her husband, Eric, for abandoning Erica and her for a lounge singer named Goldie. Mona dedicated her life to raising Erica, however love and dedication weren't enough. Erica blamed her mother for her father's abandonment. Mona soon enough fell in love again, this time to Dr. Charles Tyler, in which Mona was his secretary. The only problem being is that Charles was married at the time to Phoebe Tyler. Phoebe constantly badgered all the time, which led Charles into the arms of Mona. Knowing the whole situation between Charles and Phoebe, Mona blackmailed Phoebe into divorcing Charles. After their divorce, Mona and Charles got married. Mona was always there for Erica. Erica never saw this as love, only as interference. Then Mona was diagnosed with lung cancer, which she thankfully overcame, and Erica finally saw how much her mother meant to her. Charles eventually died and struck Mona with great grief. Mona died in 1994 due to breast cancer. With her death, Mona took many dark secrets about Erica, and the hearts of her friends, family and fans, to the grave.
A way down the road, Erica met her half-brother from her father, Eric, both Erica and Mark shared resentment for their father and the two almost had an incestuous relationship (before knowing they were related). A woman came into Erica & Mona's life claiming to be none other than Erica's sister, Silver. Silver and Erica's then husband, Kent, began a torrid affair and when Erica found out about the affair she confronted Kent and in the heat of the argument the gun Kent gave Erica went off, killing Kent and the only witness happened to be Silver, who was going to turn her sister in. Erica went on the run, but her sister, Silver, turned out to be an impostor, Connie Wilkes. In time, a mysterious woman appeared in Pine Valley named Noelle Keaton, who later on was revealed as the real Silver Kane. Silver was brain washed and sent to Pine Valley to kill Erica for Eric's inheritance by her own mother, Goldie, and psychiatrist Dr. Damon Lazarre who was Silver's secret husband. Jeremy Hunter later saved Erica and Silver, starting the relationship of Silver and Jeremy. Later on, Natalie Marlowe killed Silver in an accident.
