All My Children Fans Revisted!! (still loving and hating our show)

Hey Everyone!

I don't check in for a few days and everyone posts! Great to "see" you all! :) And great to catch up on all of your posts!

You guys are absolutely right - a million dollars says that Maria will remain unconscious until Dr. Dave is released from jail to cure her (just like he was released from jail to perform Laura's heart transplant). UGH.

I also think that the Edmund / Maria reunion was anti-climactic and can't believe that we didn't get to see Mateo's reaction to the news that his sister is alive (of course, that just gave Hayley a new reason to get up on her soap box and "reprimand" someone - she even SAID ".....I gave Brooke a lecture". I guess that that's Hayley's new purpose - to act holier than thou and look down on people. Brooke is supposedly one of her best friends - has she no sympathy at all for her? Or even a desire to hear her side of the story??). And I can't believe that Mateo was planning to tell Isabella on the phone, either! I hope that they at least allow us to see the family's reaction, the first time that they see Maria, herself! And why doesn't someone tell Maria that she has a son, too, already??!! Or that she was a well-respected neurologist?? (As I've said, wouldn't David have known her from the medical community, at least?)

I loved when Tad came to cheer up Brooke yesterday. I like the fact that they're finally allowing him to be more lighthearted, now. I just feel so badly for Brooke - it looks like she is on the verge of a real breakdown. I hope that someone else "takes her side" and tries to make Edmund see why she did what she did. Maybe even Maria, herself, will explain to him why she believes Brooke didn't tell him that she is alive. As much as I was sure that they were slowly setting up and eventual love triangle between Brooke, Tad, and Liza, I read on SoapCentral that they're currently casting a (possibly) new character who may be a love interest for Tad, eventually. They also reported on SoapCentral that Noah and Hoolia have been approached to return to the show (that probably won't happen).

I also can't stand Kendall - and I especially can't stand her stupid head bobbing thing! What is she up to, now? And why does Aidan keep falling for it??!! He's an idiot.

Isn't the whole town wondering why Brooke and Edmund mysteriously cancelled their wedding reception? (At least they finally explained that, the other day - I was wondering where everyone else went while Brooke was making her revelation to Edmund in the chapel - didn't anyone wonder where the bride and groom were, all that time?!) The whole town must know that something is up!

How long do you all think that it will take for Maria to fully "reclaim her former life" and completely act like her "old self", have her job back at the hospital, etc.? I suspect that she will have a big breakthrough around Christmas time and that by Valentine's day, she will be back working at PVH and living happily with Edmund and their kids.

I agree - Greenlee always has the best lines on the show - and she's great at delivering them, too! I just love Leo and Greenlee! It's hard to remember that a year ago now, he was "with" Laura!

Erica and Chris were adorable, 2 days ago, with the photo shoot - I loved how he just picked her up and like hoisted her onto his shoulder! I wonder if Chris will find out that Ben's father is Kendall's father while he is investigating the Proteus thing / arson at Erica's house.

Will we EVER see the end of the stupid Proteus storyline??!!

Have a nice day! :)
 
Oh my God, Sherry - I hadn't heard that! Well, she'll probably be on the show so infrequently in the future that when she is, they can just shoot her from the waist up, like they did a few years ago!
 
Yes, Ripa made an annoucement this morning that she's due in February. She and Regis joked a little about AMC and it sounds like she still wants to appear once in awhile. I haven't heard whether AMC went along with that idea or if they are still discussing her contract.

I guess she'll be going back to brunette again soon. ;)
 
What I really noticed for the first time yesterday was the way Anna was WALKING, or more like Stalking into the room each time they showed her. I mean she came in SWINGING, almost like she was running! They really try to make her as unfeminine as they can. Even in the dress at the wedding, they made her look drab. I really don't feel sorry for Brooke at all-She really is having a pity party. I'm glad Tad didn't feel sorry for her. But again, I've never liked Brooke-Sorry.

How many years has AMC been on the air? I figure everyone is related to each other by now-they keep rotating the same couples and their are so many step-siblings and half-siblings going back generations, that the whole town is one incestuous city by now. Sorry.

I'm still waiting for Chris to dump Erica.

Yeah, remember when Hayley had 2-tone hair, a few years ago, Pam?? That looked awful! It looked much better when they slowly darkened it, when she was pregnant in 2001.

I agree, Patty - Anna needs a new wardrobe - they do make her look very harsh. And I can't stand her uneven hair cut, either! Sometimes they make attractive people so much less attractive, on AMC, because of the hair and wardrobe that they give them. Sorry - I feel badly for Brooke - maybe I'm just a sap - but every time she says "I never win" or "I never get to cross the finish line", I feel sad for her. Then again.....she DOES keep picking "bad men": Jim Thomason, Pierce, the Minister who turned out to be the man who killed her daughter........!
 
Kelly is pregnant?! Wow! When did that happen? Mark hasn't been around much lately! :) I hope she doesn't get the 2-tone hair again!

Haven't been watching Live much...The Wayne Brady Show premiered on Monday and it is opposite LIVE here. This is my new favorite show!


Ok, AMC-Anna really needs a wardrobe, poor thing!
Kendall-keep your lips to yourself!
EdDumb demanding that Maria WILL remember! Shut up!
Poor Brooke! Was Tad in her bedroom? I've never seen anything but the Living room in her house, so I was confused as to where she was!

45 mins to today's show..........
 
My take on the stories so far:

Edmund has every right to be furious with Brook. He's mourned Maria for 5 years, with all of Pine Valley participating, too.

Brook did the wrong thing and she knew it. That's why the guilt was eating at her during her wedding day.

Kendall is just like Erica was when she was young. Does anyone else remember how she went after every man, betrayed everyone, lied, schemed....and still does.

For me now, Hayley and Mateo are just an after thought. Hayley is preaching and suspicious,ugh.

I wonder when Kendall finds out she has a brother who is soooo bad, what kind of trouble they can stir up together, of course she'll have to get past his trying to set her up for arson first.Hmmm.

Gotta go, 20 minutes til AMC
 
EEEEEWWWW-ugh-when Kendall gets her "been everywhere" lips into action-yuck-I have to reach for an appropriate barf bag(sorry to have to use the word 'barf').

Kelly Ripa-no. 3 right? She must be EXHAUSTED-hawking shampoo, water, reprimanding Brooke-where does she find the energy?

I agree with so many of you-all I can say is DITTO-hearhear!(or is it "herehere"?)

BUT-I do feel a little sorry for Brooke-can't seem to help myself-and I was NEVER a fan of her either. Weird...

We're only halfway through and I am SNOOZING...

almost makes me want to see Kendall doing something stupid...
 
OMG-eeewww-did I say "been everywhere" lips?

I meant "been EVERYWHERE"!(How OLD is JR? where's my barf bag?)

She needs a warning label slapped on those lips...:)

If it didn't make me so sick-I could start a "Kissing Kendall" drinking game-everytime those lips start going-gluglug!

I suspect that she will have a big breakthrough around Christmas time and that by Valentine's day, she will be back working at PVH and living happily with Edmund and their kids.
Where is Natalie's Christmas Angel? Did Uncle Trevor leave it with Haylay? Maybe Tim brought it with him when he came back to PV. At any rate, it makes sense that it would do it's usual Christmas miracle for Maria and bring her memory back like it brought back Natalie's sight all those years ago.
 
PREGNANT--AGAIN??:confused: :confused: What is she nuts??:rolleyes: Oh, that's right......she's RICH--I forgot!:rolleyes: She can POP out as many as she wants!:rolleyes: Taped the show today, so got to find time to watch it!!;)
 
i just started watching again after a long hiatus.

but where oh where is the real Mateo..this new one is the pits..and Not nearly as adorable as the real mateo..where is he!
 
The real Mateo is making movie somewhere (and making a baby). ;)

Kendall and JR...that is just WRONG!!! How old is JR supposed to be? and Kendall??? That boy gets around...Frankie, the random girl in the mansion, Kendall...Ewwwwwwwwwwww!

Anna & Jackson...I kind of like that couple...I like Jack, he needs a good woman.

Dr Dave sure had a quick shower and clothes change while "in the car listening to the radio about Maria."


WHY doesn't Ed-dumb already know who Aidan is???? I'm so sure they remember each other from the PineCone! We all take lots of notice of people at fleabag motels!:eek:
 
I haven't watched yesterday's yet so haven't read any posts from after the show yesterday but wanted to pop in and comment on Kelly's announcement yesterday.

I happened to catch Live yesterday (which is a rarity indeed) so I saw her announcement. Regis was like -- how did that happen?! Hasn't Mark been gone about a year?! LOL! Kelly said he left on June 14 and it happened *before* then. Plus she and the kids just returned from visiting him. She also said that after 2 kids you lose all your brain cells which allows you to get pregnant for a 3rd time. LOL!

Pembo - I love the new Wayne Brady show too but it doesn't come on opposite Live here but if it did I would definitely choose it over Live any day! ;)

Lisa - I'm with you on feeling bad for Brooke. When she finally does pick a good man she screws it up. I actually liked Hayley the other day for the first time in a long time. She *sort of* stood up for Brooke to Edmund and Mateo. More than anyone else except Tad so far.

Patty - WELL!!! Not only do I not get a "thank you" for reminding you (twice, no less!) that a Jack Scalia movie will be on TV, you go and trash my favorite AMC couple. Don't think I won't remember this! :p ;) :p ;) :p ;)

I'm off to watch yesterday's episode.
 
Hey Everyone!

Welcome MrsMick and Katie! :)

Aprille!!!! I can't believe that you haven't seen yesterday's episode, yet! Wait till you see what Kendall is up to, now! I just can't get over her grabbing and kissing Aidan - AGAIN - and especially JR! I just had a weird feeling that that was going to happen when she and JR were talking in the park - I said to my DH "watch - she's going to start kissing HIM, now...." and she DID! Who will she grab and kiss next??!! I also find it funny because when Trey / Ben (TresBien!) tried to kiss her, last week, she said that she wasn't over Ryan and wasn't ready to be with someone......I guess she changed her mind within the course of a few days!

Why does Liza always have to be so rude to JR?? No wonder he wants to move to NY. Why doesn't he hang out with Jamie any more? Especially now that Jamie is mysteriously closer to his age?

I'm wondering if they will put Anna and Jack together......that could be an interesting couple.....and Jack hasn't had a romantic life (unless you count the references to his past with Mary - hey, where is Mary, anyway?) in so long. But it will be short lived if the rumors about Finola's leaving in the spring are true.

I think that Hayley does have Natalie's Christmas angel, MaryJ - didn't they break it out, for some reason, a few years ago? Maybe when Hayley was pregnant or trying to get pregnant? I can't remember the circumstances, but I definitely remember seeing it.

Can't wait to see what happens today when Maria wants to see Aidan but not Edmund! Still can't believe how casually Edmund said "yeah, they know" when asked if Mateo and Isabella know that Maria is in the hospital - you would think that they would BE THERE, wouldn't you? Oh well - looks like there will be some action between Isabella and Brooke, today!

Have a nice day, all! :)
 
I just have one question...I absolutely love Tad, think he's hysterical, BUT, does he even have a JOB now??? He wears this suit and tie every day but never works?? Anyone know?
 
OMG! lilboo - pass the barf bag. Kendall's lips have definitely been busy! UGH! Maybe we should start calling her Sluttall. :p

I was cheering Aidan on when he was giving it to Kendall. I even clapped (for real!) when he finished with her and stormed away. Kendall soooo deserved it! Go Aidan, go Aidan, go Aidan.

Lisa - my mouth fell to the floor when Edmund indicated that Mateo *and* Isabella knew about Maria. Isabella slapping Brooke in the previews made my eyes pop out. Wow! Can't say I blame her even though I feel sorry for Brooke. And ITA with you about Liza. She's definitely the Wicked Stepmother. LOL!

Jillpie - Tad is supposedly working for Chandler Enterprises again. But you know how these soap jobs go - you don't actually have to show up at work too often. LOL!
 
(Lilboo passes vomit receptacle to Aprille)

Jllpie-I think money grows on trees in Pine Valley-who needs a JOB!:p

WHY doesn't Ed-dumb already know who Aidan is????

Wasn't it hilarious when they were sitting next to each other in the waiting room?

Thanks, lilboo! I especially appreciate the fact that you cleaned it out first. ;)
