US TV soap ALL MY CHILDREN is to air an historic transgender focused episode later this week (09MAR07) after becoming the first daytime drama to introduce a sex-change character. JEFFREY CARLSON, who plays ZOE on the show, joined the cast in January (07) and now producers are going one step further by honouring real-life transgender people as part of the programme. Six transgender people will share their unscripted real-life experiences as part of a support group segment of the episode, which will feature author and activist JENNIFER FINLEY BOYLAN.
