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

[dizneenut]

Hey Christine!

I'm here!!
Can't really comment on the show today. I was listening to it while DIS'ing, so didn't really get into it!

 

[lilboo]

Booo...I guess I missed the party too...

Classes are cutting into my AMC time *sigh* ...

I'll poke my head in tomorrow-hopefully there'll be something juicy afoot...

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Same here Sherry - I have had a very busy week. I missed the whole show yesterday and part of todays. I saw Chris giving it to Erica though, that was fun to watch.

 

[Aprille]

Hey, Lisa! Welcome to the world of the unemployed! I love it. Unfortunately it looks like I'm going to be going back to work before long (after almost 3 years of staying home by choice) and I really, really, REALLY don't want to.

There's a photo of NuSammie posted on PVB. He's adorable. Here's a link: PVB Ins and Outs

 

[MaryJ]

NuSammy's a cutie! Thanks for the link, Aprille.

 

[dizneenut]

Thanks for the link, Aprille. NuSammy is pretty cute!

 

[Pembo]

I'm here...the show has been boring this week.

I have a question...where is Vanessa??? THe last show I saw was when she mysteriously moved and Trey was running around demanding to know where his mother was?

Does anyone here believe that Anna will really have a baby? Soaps are infamous for miscarriages...so shall we place bets?

Anyone else not really care about the Frank/Simone/Simone's dad storyline? These characters bore me! I have too many memories of Frank Hubbard from his time on Loving and The City.

And in the PVB comings/goings...can someone tell me more about Lily, Jack's daughter? I don't remember this character.


Have a good day everyone.......

Hey Everyone!

Boy has the show been boring, so far, this week! I caught DH snoozing a few times, through the past 2 days' episodes, which we watched back-to-back last night!

I finally caught up on all of your posts, and I can't believe that I missed John and Eva on The View (I hate that show too, Aprille) or Susan on Caroline! I saw her on Wayne Brady, though!

I'm going to look at the picture of NuSammy as soon as I'm finished posting, Aprille - thanks for the link!

Pembo - I believe that someone mentioned to Trey last week (maybe it was Jack?) that 'Nessa had been moved to some minimum security facility, since she is still a witness in the Proteus case. We haven't heard anything about her whereabouts since, though. I have a feeling that Anna will wind up having the baby - I read somewhere that she might leave "AMC" after she does, though - it should happen around May sweeps time. They will drag out David's trying to get her back, until then, I'm sure......I kinda liked the conversation that she had with Liza, about their controlling husbands, 2 days ago! Lily was actually the daughter of Laurel (who eventually married Trevor) and some jerk, whom Laurel killed, and Jack helped her hide the body afterwards. Jack and Laurel were involved for awhile - and they must have gotten married, though I don't remember that - because Jack adopted Lily. If you recall, Laurel was shot on the set of The Cutting Edge, taking a bullet intended for her gay brother Michael Delaney, the school teacher. We haven't actually seen Lily in years, though Jack mentions her every once in awhile. She is disabled and is (or at least was) in a special school, somewhere in the South East, I believe. She should be around Bianca's age, now.

I understand why they had the plot with Erica showing how she always thinks that the people in her life (mostly the men) are going to abandon her - maybe they will have Erica and Chris search for Eric and use that as a lead in to start discussing Richard Fields more.....so that it can come out that Trey / Ben is his son, and involve Kendall somehow, too. But notwithstanding that, I thought that it was ridiculous that they had Erica get all upset like that, out of the blue (speaking of "blue", I loved her outfit, yesterday!). I did like what Chris said to her about not leaving her, though, and I'm glad that Jack stood up to her and said that he won't be used by her any more.....even though he has said that countless times in the past and is always there for her!

I'm bored with David and Anna, even though they are both playing their scenes really well. And as much as I love Greenlee and Leo, I'm getting bored of their "will we or won't we go to Paris" thing. I liked the location scenes yesterday, though!

What is Simone's father's big secret? Did Simone's mother OD? And why the heck doesn't Jake just kick Mia to the curb, after how she's treated him over the past few months?? UGH - I hated seeing them together!

Have a nice day, all!

 

[lilboo]

I thought today's show was pretty good...

IASWRider-who's Eric?-I have a vague recollectionof someone dark-haired...

Does anyone else hope Maria does NOT get her memory back-the new hot-headed Maria is so much more fun.

Am also looking forward to a Kendall/Greenlee collaboration-although their smackdown fights were great entertainment-second only to David and Tad's fights!

I think Jake looks a little like Luke Wilson-

 

[Pembo]

I LOVE the new Hot-headed Maria/Maureen too!!! Ed-dumb is suffocating to me! Give the poor girl some space! He is so insensitive. "she touched my hand"--make me puke! I did like the scene with Maureen and the shrink today.

Nu-Mateo has not grown on me, bleah.

Go Kendall--trap Trey! I like this storyline.

Thanks IASW for the Lily info. I don't think I was watching AMC when all that was happening and also for the Nessa update.

In the scenes with Erica yesterday...is her father Eric Kane still alive??? Whatever happened to him?

Mia & Jake--another make me puke scene!


PLEASE don't let this David/Anna take me back/go away thing last until spring!!!!! I don't think I can bear it!

 

[kpgclark]

I think Marci Walker (Liza) is the most boring dull awful actress. I wish they'd get rid of her. She never shows any emotions. They ought to put emoticons under her character when she "acts"!

 

[Aprille]

Welcome, kpgclark! I happen to like Marcy Walker but all opinions are certainly welcome here.

lilboo & Pembo - I love Maureen and her attitude! Much more interesting than dull, boring Maria who was never a favorite character of mine. I want Maureen and Aidan to have a hot, steamy affair and for Edmund to turn to Brooke and get back together with her. :::sigh::: I'm sure it won't happen though.

Funny Line of the Day...

Greenlee: "I'm so close to justifiable homicide right now it's not even funny."
Kendall: "Ooh, I'm shaking. What, are you going to beat me with your powder puff?"

 

[lilboo]

The new Sammy-a great improvement! And thanks for the link earlier Aprille!

I'm pretty neutral on Liza-maybe the writers COULD give her something a little more to bite into..

Heehooboy- OMG-Greenlee is such a little bully-it's hi-la-rious! I thought Kendall would vastly improve under Greenlee's tutelage but DUUUUH-"did you think I'd start another fire?"- if that didn't tip Tres/bien off-duhh.

And ED-dumb-what SCUM-using the kids as a DESPERATE last attempt to GUILT Maria/Maureen into living at Wildwind- "YOu know what I see. I see a woman who is torn up...you are frightened...how about being honest with me?" Honestly Ed-dumb-open up your clogged ears-she's telling you loud and clear-BACK OFFF! Heehee!

 

[Pembo]

Honestly Ed-dumb-open up your clogged ears-she's telling you loud and clear-BACK OFFF! Heehee!

AMEN! Ed-dumb! AUGH!!!!!!!!

My dh was in the room while I was watching today, he was laughing at David's demanding attitude about "MY baby". Poor fool.

Nu-Sammy seems a lot younger, now he and Maddy look the same age?!?! But he acts better than the previous boy.

I loved that outfit of Kendall's today!

Marcy Walker - She needs a decent storyline and a decent wardrobe and a new hairstyle. Poor kid. IMHO

 

[IASW Rider]

Welcome Kpgclark!

I'm right there with you all - I like this "new" Maria / Maureen much better than the old, self-riteous one. But......do you remember how Ditsie was, when she first came back to the show a few years ago - the "new, improved Ditsie" who was a "career woman" and who stood up to Tad and wanted to be her own, independent person??? And then look how they "watered her down" by the time she left the show, a few months ago. They'll probably do that with Maria, too. But in the mean time, it WOULD be great to see her have a hot, steamy affair with Aidan....and have Ed-dumb TRY to go back to Brooke.....and have Brooke REJECT him! I can't stand the way he makes all of those assumptions about what Maria wants, and assumes that he knows what's best for her. I liked the way that she explained why she wouldn't be staying in Wildwind to the children, and I think that the NuSammy is adorable!

The plot with Leo and Trey and Greenlee and Kendall is cute.....but I hope that it's not going to be a catalyst for Leo and Greenlee fighting and breaking up, so that he can leave the show. I have a feeling that Leo doesn't trust Trey and is just acting like he does, so that he will help him. OK, so Trey is a big jerk........but I still swoon every time he comes on the screen! *SIGH*

Anna and David......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz........enough, already!

I actually think that Marcy Walker is a great actress.....when they actually give her something challenging or remotely interesting to do! Remember back when she was the Station Manager of WRCW and Tad worked for her? Those were the days! I looked forward to their scenes together - like when she tried to seduce Tad away from Ditsie and put Ditsie down whenever she saw her. All this stuff with Adam and with Mia and with David Hayward is boring. But it looks like Liza is going to stay with Adam, after her conversation with Anna, the other day. So I guess we can "look forward" to many more years of watching them try to trick and "one up" eachother......goody. I also think that Liza needs a more interesting wardrobe and hair style. She looks nice in those black and white photos that they show at the half way point in the show!

Why doesn't Dr. McMillan just hypnotize Maria, to see if she remembers anything????

Lilboo - sorry for the delay- Eric is Erica's father, Eric Kane. We haven't seen him in years. The last time we saw him is when she found him and he was a clown, right??

Have a nice weekend, Everyone!

 

[kpgclark]

Ya know, I think they are going to have Anna try to have an abortin and David try to stop her legally. Remember this story played out in the real papers recently. A guy got his girlfriend pregnant and she wanted to abort, he wanted the baby. He actually got an injunction to stop her, but then it was reversed. She ended up aborting. That's where I think the story will go.

I still think Marci Walker is boring. She is expressionless. She was much better in High School with the whole Tad and her mother thing.

I've been wondering the same thing!! Maybe TPTB will get around to that soon!

I think it has more to do with the writing than the acting. Marcy may well be bored with her storyline. Most of us watching certainly are. LOL!

I don't think Anna will try to have an abortion but I also don't think she'll carry the baby to term either. I think David is stressing her out so much she'll have a miscarriage. But, of course, it won't be HIS fault as nothing ever is. LOL! I hate to hope for a miscarriage but I don't want Anna to have a baby!! I'm with Lisa and am bored to tears with David and Anna. It may be a different conflict but it's still same ol', same ol'. I hope FH goes back to GH as has been rumored.

And about Anna being pregnant - you'd think they would at least put loose-fitting clothing on her to make it look a little more realistic. The sonogram made the fetus look about 6 months along but her stomach is still flat as a pancake!!

 

[Poohbear123]

I have been getting used to my NEW Schedule at work....5am till Noon! Now I can see AMC and OLTL and GH....but during AMC I have been falling Asleep! ZZzzzzzzzz.....haven't missed too much I see! Yes, I too, am SICK of the Anna/David/Baby story ALREADY! AACCKKK! As far as Maria/Maureen........she sure fumbles her lines doesn't she??? I hope that Vanessa hasn't left the show ALREADY! If so, that sure was QUICK! Only 48 more days till SSW!

 

[Aprille]

Someone on PVB posted that AMC's new opening will begin airing this week. Can't wait to see it!

I'm also hearing some speculation that Leo will be killed off for his exit leaving Greenlee the grieving widow. While I hate to see this happen I can't see him leaving her any other way. I guess we can hope for another "no-body-recovered" storyline so there would at least be the possibility of a return at some point.
