"All My Children" star Susan Lucci is returning to TV as the host of a new crime investigation show.
 
Lucci starred on the long-running soap opera until September, when TV bosses axed the program as part of a cost-cutting initiative.
 
And now the veteran actress is set for a career revival after signing on to front "Deadly Affairs," a new series which will explore real-life cases of love gone wrong when it premieres on the Investigation Discovery channel this autumn.
 
Lucci will begin filming in March.
