Phoebe Wallingford (née English; previously Tyler and Matthews) is a fictional character on the soap opera "All My Children". She was played by Ruth Warrick from 1970 until her death in 2005.

Phoebe Wallingford was a pillar of Pine Valley. Her family, the Englishes, were founders of the region. The leading socialite in the community, Phoebe prides herself on her family's ancestry, and is a member of the fictional "Daughters of Fine Lineage."

Character history

Phoebe is first married to Charles Tyler, Chief of Staff at Pine Valley Hospital. They have three children, Charles Jr., Lincoln, and Anne. Charles Jr. and his wife are killed in a car wreck, leaving Phoebe and Charles to raise their grandson Chuck. Chuck gives his grandmother plenty of grief with his involvement in one of the show's earliest love triangles between himself, his best friend Phillip Brent, and the young Tara Martin. Lincoln becomes a prominent attorney and is first married to Amy. After Amy's secret child from a prior relationship is eventually found out, she leaves Lincoln and Pine Valley.

Chuck later marries Donna Beck, a reformed prostitute whom Phoebe detests, calling her "that Donna creature"; and Carrie Sanders, whose father had been abusive to both his wives). He dates several other women in Pine Valley. He is the natural father of Donna's son Palmer John, conceived in an affair while she is married to Phoebe's friend Palmer Cortlandt.

Her son Lincoln is married to a set of twins, Kitty Shea Davis and Kelly Cole.

Anne is married at first to a European nobleman, then to Nick Davis (the father of Amy's son), and, finally, to the attorney Paul Martin (who is involved with other women during the time of Ann's institutionization).

Phoebe constantly meddles in the lives of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and niece, much to the dismay of her husband Charles. Charles, much more down-to-earth than his often overbearing wife, later turns to his secretary, Mona Kane, for comfort. This pushes Phoebe to begin drinking heavily, often making a spectacle of herself at public events. Her fondness for alcohol once lead to a drunk driving arrest, as well as a drunken tumble down her staircase.

Phoebe and Charles eventually divorce, and she finds a new love in the form of Langley Wallingford. Langley claims to be a professor, but he has a checkered past as a con artist. He initially pursues Phoebe for her fortune, but eventually falls in love with her. Langley and Phoebe marry in June 1980. Their marriage is briefly strained in 1984 when Phoebe learns of her husband's past, but the two reconcile. They are blissfully happy until the arrival of another poser named Wade Matthews in 1986. Wade stages a series of events to break up Langley and Phoebe. Phoebe marries the much younger Wade in a drunken stupor. Wade unsuccessfully tries to murder Phoebe to inherit a sizable portion of her estate. He is later found out and imprisoned, and the marriage is annulled.

Phoebe and Langley remarry and remain together until Langley's death in 2001. Phoebe dies from old age in May 2005, with her niece, Brooke English, at her side. Her last words are, "Langley is waiting for me."
