From Quiz All About Erica

Answer: Agnes Nixon

Agnes Nixon, often called "The Queen of the Modern Soap Opera" due to her excellent contributions to the industry (mainly for creating the soap operas "One Life To Live", "All My Children", and "Loving" as well as writing "Guiding Light", "Another World", and "As The World Turns" to much critical acclaim), created the legendary character of Erica Kane back when "AMC" debuted in January of 1970. Nixon modeled the character after a character she wrote for on "Another World" named Rachel Davis. Susan Lucci, the actress who has played Erica since the show's inception, has said Erica Kane is probably the best role written for a woman. Wisner Washam, Megan McTavish, and Lorraine Broderick have all been head writers for "All My Children" at one point but did not create Erica. When Susan Lucci accepted her first Emmy win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series after nineteen nominations in 1999, she told Agnes Nixon, in her acceptance speech, "You changed the face of the medium we work in. I am so grateful to have been placed in your hands. Thank you so much for creating the part of Erica Kane and for allowing me to part of your vision full of such humanity and passion and vision," and then finished her speech.
