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

[PamOKW]

I believe you without pictures!

What a wonderful experience for you. Funny how things sometimes work out. Thanks for telling us all about it. Now, if he does become a big comic as well.....you can say you knew him when.....

 

[minniecarousel]

IASW - how fun! It's wierd to think of MEK as being nervous or shy on-stage! (guess it's right - stand-up is difficult!)

So anyone who saw today's show: is Walt Willey leaving too?! Please say it isn't so!!

 

[Poohbear123]

Of the show today, and just saw JACKSON get SHOT!!! WHAT's THAT all about???

This is probably the nefarious way that they plan on getting rid of Jack Scalia... So sad what they are doing to his character. I doubt Jackson will die, but who knows. The more 'old' people they get off the show the better as far as these writers are concerned...

Hi Everyone!

Glad that you enjoyed my little story! I'm just sorry that I couldn't get an "evidence" for you all! But speaking of AMC people, stand up comedy, and Jackson, I'm sure that you all probably know that Walt Willey regularly tours with a stand up act, and he is really good! I saw him do his routine at a local club (also in 1996, I believe), and he was very funny and at ease, on stage. He even played the guitar and sang a song that he wrote, entitled "Here, in Pine Valley", where he lampooned all of the characters and storylines of the time! Maybe he could give Tad some pointers! Or the 2 of them could get together and do an act as a team!

I haven't seen today's show, yet, but I'll bet that Sarge is right, and that Jack's getting shot is ultimately "the beginning of the end" for Chris...........

 

[Poohbear123]

Most likely another "Veteran" AMC person most likely to be Kicked OFF! I have heard about Walt's stand UP Comedy act, and he sometimes plays at a Comedy Club in Orlando when he is there for SSW! Some Fans of his had his Comedy T-shirts on at the last SSW!

And also the "new beginning" of Erica and Jack part eleventy-hundred. Okay, so even though we've been there, done that, I have to admit Susan and Walt have MEGAchemistry. I loved it the other day when Erica "forgave" Jack. LOL!. Vintage Erica and the look on Jack's face was priceless!

I don't think WW is going anywhere. If he is, it's the best kept secret in daytime. Jack Scalia is the one who got the raw deal in all this.

WW & MEK would be a hoot to see doing stand-up together!

 

[Poohbear123]

Congrats Christine! HI Aprille! Yes, they would make a great team wouldn't they?

 

[PamOKW]

I hope Walt/Jackson is going to recover. The only thing that has me a little nervous is his behavior at the Soap Opera Digest Awards. He was positively gushing to the ABC Daytime executives about how wonderful they are and how wonderful it is to work at AMC. I wondered at the time if he was trying to beg for his job since so many other old-timers were "leaving". Erica even did the same kind of "gush" in her acceptance speech but not quite so blatantly. I don't think they'd dare get rid of her anyway.

I'm betting that maybe Scalia is going to get to play the good guy once again. He was trying to stop the guy that did the shooting. I'm also wondering whether Lena may turn up dead. Erica certainly made a point of stressing how she would kill "Lena with her bare hands" if she hurt Bianca or Enchantment.

Oh boy, let's hope this doesn't happen... How many murder trials is the AMC fan supposed to accept that Erica has to endure. I realize this is a soap, but come on. One murder trial tends to destroy a celebrity (which Erica 'supposedly' is).. How many Murder trials can one person endure? Maybe Bianca will be on trial for murdering sweet Lena and Erica will be the embattled mother. That I could stomach a little more (but not much)

 

[IASW Rider]

Yes, and Bianca already has a "history of violence" - remember when she pushed Dr. Kinder down the stairs, and Erica, Skye, and Janet covered up her "crime"?

Greenlee and Kendall were pretty funny, on the show, yesterday. (Especially when they were telling Maggie - who desperately needs a new wardrobe - about everything that they'd had to drink that night, and Kendall said "margaritas - YUMMY!") Although I refuse to believe that Greenlee would allow herself to get so "sloppy drunk" in public! Speaking of Greenlee, she was on Caroline Rhea last night (strangely enough, she was wearing the same pink dress that Greenlee is wearing on the show, right now, I think!), and she confirmed that they are doing that "Sexiest Man Alive" contest on the show. ABC.....Home of Reality TV.......UGH. She didn't say very much else except that she had a huge crush on Josh Duhamel, when she was working with him. And she joked a bit with Chip Zien, about how she broke his nose, the last time he was on AMC as Donald Steele.

Have a nice day!

Hi everyone, forgive me - I have been lurking the last few days. You havce those days where you wanna jump in but you just dont. I guess I have been/still am in a funk. I hope to snap out of it soon. I have read this thread though.

Lisa - I wish I could have been there with you while you were with MEK! I bet that was a great night.

Aprille - yeah she is back (well kind of??) I am so happy to see your name here once in a while.

Faith - thanks for the congrats on 100 pages - 50 more and we will have to "move" again. :eek

Everyone else - nice seeing you and hope all of you are having a great day!


Oh I saw Rebecca on Caroline Rhea last night too. I noticed her dress too and thought that it was a bit odd. I have seen her character wear it a couple times - you would think she would not want to wear it IRL. But then again it is a cute dress. Isn't she married though? I thought she was. Wonder what her DH thinks about her crush on Josh.

 

[Aprille]

Hi, Christine!

Rebecca is not married. She was married for about 5 minutes in 2000. Okay, so it was more like 4 months. (I just don't get how someone can love someone enough to get married and then give up on the relationship 4 months later. Just blows my mind!)

Source: Internet Movie Database

My question would be: I wonder how Josh's girlfriend (fiance?) feels about Rebecca's revelation.

 

[Poohbear123]

Feel better, I have felt like that a few times too. I go for 2 days without posting a whit! Erica FEELS that Jackson is in TROUBLE!! (little does she know).

 

[Aprille]

Hope you're feeling better soon, Christine. I intended to say that on my last post but got caught up in the Rebecca marriage thing. That's what I get for posting a quick message during my lunch break.

 

[PamOKW]

I've got AMC watching troubles now that Soap Net went and changed their schedule....again!

They used to show the repeats in the afternoon, at 8:00 p.m., 11:00 p.m. and probably some other time later at night and then again once in the early a.m.

I often miss the "real" showing but almost always could catch it at 4:00 p.m. As of yesterday....gone. The 11:00 p.m. showing was changed to 1:00 a.m. awhile ago and that's just too late.

I'm not sure what Soap Net is thinking but I'm no longer watching except for possibly trying to get the recap on Sunday that now I'll need!

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Thanks Faith and Aprille. I played hooky today and had a me day. I feel a bit better.

 

[Aprille]

Glad to hear you feel a little better, Christine. Hope you feel even better still today.

 

[IASW Rider]

Hey Everyone!

Hope that you're feeling all better, Christine!

Not much to say about yesterday's show, except that I really hope that they don't have Reggie being framed for shooting Jack. (along similar lines to our conversation above about the possibility of someone killing Lena and being framed for her murder)

Are they setting up Anna and David for a separation (can't say "divorce", because they are already divorced!), again? Will she and Jack fall in love, while he is in the hospital recovering and she is in the hospital tending to Leora, after her pacemaker operation?

Now Michael is the stupid, naive one, if he truly believes that Kendall wants to "join forces" with him.

Hopefully today's show will be more interesting!

Have a great day!

 

[elgerber]

Would anyone, besides me, really like to see Kendall and Erica team up? Every time Kendall tries, Erica gets nasty. I hope that this is the time they actually do.
