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

[PamOKW]

I was amazed that they actually acknowledged Kit Fisher's existence

I have another question because of my history ignorance. Why didn't they mention Jack's daughter when they asked about relatives? Doesn't he have a sick daughter somewhere? I thought that's why Erica was comforting him and that she was back out of the hospital. Even if she's an adopted daughter shouldn't she be in the mix when her father is near death?

Also I think I missed something else. Today, Reggie seemed to know all about Jack and Mary being an item in the past. Did Jack tell him something? And what was it? Does Jack have any interest in Mary? I also wonder how Jack will react to Erica pledging her undying love, again, when he's at death's door.

Hello!

Faith - I wish that I could help you with the Spoilers, but you know I try to contain myself and not read them ahead of time!

Pam - Jack's daughter, Lily, is actually his adopted daughter, as you suggested. She is the biological daughter of Laurel (who was last married to Trevor, who died tragically in 1997, or so, live on WRCW's "The Cutting Edge". She passed away while defending her gay brother, Michael, against a bunch of narrow minded audience members - one of whom shot her while attempting to shoot him.), whom I believe was married to Jack for awhile. She is autistic and is in a "special school", outside of PV. Erica probably didn't want to tell her about Jack's condition for fear of upsetting her.

As for Reggie, after seeing both Mary and Erica waiting in Jack's apartment to visit with him, last week, he started questioning Jack. Although Jack refused to go into detail, he didn't deny that there was something between him and Mary in the past, to Reggie. So that's how he got the impression that Jack and Mary had a past together. He doesn't know specifics about Jack and Greenlee, or anything like that, however.

The scenes with Greenlee and Carlos today were so stupid! I still don't get what the writers are trying to accomplish by putting the 2 of them together. Carlos was acting as though he owned Lacey's, whereas chances are, Greenlee has more "pull" there than he does, based on her credit account there, alone! Plus the fact that she brought in a lot of business for them, a few years ago, ironically with her selling-perfume-in-her-lingerie-Enchantment-campaign! I can't wait until she starts concentrating on the man who is her biological father, instead of this mismatched romance!

Did anyone catch the previews for tomorrow's episode, with Maria saying to Joe ".....are you ready for Dr. Grey"???? First of all, in the old days, she was "Dr. Santos-Grey"......second of all, as predicted, she is sure to be the new PVH Chief of Staff by the end of the week!

Where will Henry go, now? He can't move into Maggie's dorm room with her........will he move into Myrtle's? Where does Carlos live? I still say that the 2 of them are eventually going to form a band! Maybe they will be roommates as well! Or maybe he will move in with his old double-dating partner, Aidan......assuming that Aidan doesn't really leave PV, as suggested by the previews for tomorrow's episode!

I can't believe that it took Erica as long as it did to figure out that Greenlee is Jack's daughter, and that's why their blood types were compatible and that's why Mary was so interested in the situation!

On a totally unrelated note, where has Palmer been, lately? And Petey? Petey used to hang around Fusion all the time, and we haven't seen him at all, lately. I'm always hoping to see our good "comic relief" characters! Bring back Lysistrata and Petey! (.......and Opal.......and Stuart.......and......!)

Have a great night, Everyone!

Show was kind of boring so I DIS-ed and kind of watched it, will watch it tomorrow for sure though.

 

[IASW Rider]

I hope that Aidan isn't really planning to leave PV! Has anyone read anything about him leaving the show?

Greenlee and Carlos - UGH. Why would she be turned on by his ordering her around and talking to her as if she was a child?

Colby is a far better actress than BrattyMaddie - they should give her more screen time! And why were Maria and Ed-dumb taking Maddie out to breakfast, but not Sam? Poor Sam - he always gets left behind! At least they let him come to the wedding!

Have a great day!

 

[PamOKW]

Maria and Ed-dumb taking Maddie out to breakfast, but not Sam?

LOL! I hadn't thought of that. He is really the mystery child isn't he? I was wondering why they were out to breakfast at all. Heck, I'd think it would be a lot easier to just "eat at home" when home is a mansion full of servants.

Colby is a real cutie! Hope we'll see more of her but not with some sinister plot. Enough with kids suffering.

 

[BermudaJ]

Now that Erica is pushing for the wedding to happen as soon as possible, do you guys think that Mary will stop it before it happens? I am really enjoying the interaction between Erica and Mary. I guess since Brooke hasn't been around much, Erica needed a new sparing partner.

[Bunchkin]

Where is Brooke???

And Adam??

 

[PamOKW]

And Adam??

We should be seeing more of Adam soon. He's starting a storyline where he hired Michael Cambius to try and bring him down. Cambius is trying to double-cross Adam as well by having Cambius Industries take him over. Cambius pumped Colby for information yesterday and she told him about "Mommy taking money from Daddy's company".

 

[IASW Rider]

Hi Everyone!

Yeah, I've been wondering where Brooke has been, too. The last time we saw her, she was kissing up to Maria, who had just remembered her past, and felt the need to tell Brooke how much she loves Ed-dumb. Maybe Brooke disappeared after that and is still "licking her wounds", somewhere (fortunately, not in Adam's bed, again!).

What the heck is with Mia and her rude attitude to Liza about Tad? I understand that she is bitter, after what Jake and Ed-dumb did to her, but that's no reason to take it out on Liza! And Jamie has quite the attitude, as well - if he likes Laurie so much, he might want to try speaking to her respectfully!

I'm also enjoying Erica's scenes with Mary. Mary is much more interesting, this time around, than she was during her previous stints on the show. If Greenlee freaks out, when she finds out that Jack is really her father and not Roger........imagine how she will react when she finds out that another "pool attendant" with whom her mother was involved was her beloved Carlos! I also like the new friendship and "protectiveness" between Kendall and Greenlee. They're funny to watch when they fight, but they're a good team as friends, as well.

David has really been "hitting below the belt", lately, with all of his comments to Tad about his affair with Ditsie. I wonder where they're going with this "David vs. the Martins" storyline. I'm glad that Kenny didn't take the case!

Hope that you're all having a nice weekend!

 

[Aprille]

OMG - is that really Aprille posting about some recent Pine Valley goings-on?!?! Yep, it's me. You can pick your chin up off the floor now.

Okay, first of all, am I the only one to LOL when Maria was pledging her "constant faith" to Ed-dumb?!?! Yeah, right. I guess the memory of that one-nighter with her BIL (which is when I lost all respect for the character of Maria) has yet to resurface in her brain. I MISS MAUREEN!!!

Loving the rivalry between Erica and Mary! Jack being Greenlee's father was hinted at months ago (when Roger was still alive) and I absolutely loathed the idea at the time. I liked Opal's reaction to the news - she said something about the thought of Jack and Mary together made her stomach do flip-flops or something. That was my initial reaction months ago. GAG! But the timing is perfect now with Jack and Erica being engaged. Mary is definitely a worthy opponent and I like it! Erica needs someone to give her a run for the money.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled AMC thread.

 

[Aprille]

Okay, one more post and then I'll disappear for weeks on end.

This following article was in last week's TV guide that comes in our local Sunday newspaper.

Houston Chronicle
TV Chronilog June 15-21, 2003:

Walt Willey Trades Shots with Lucci
by Nancy M. Reichardt
United Feature Syndicate

Walt Willey is finally playing out the story line he has been anticipating for years.

As Jackson Montgomery on All My Children he has always been there for the volatile Erica Kane (played by Susan Lucci), even when this involved telling her truths she did not want to hear. Years ago they were paired as a couple, and fans have been waiting for a reunion ever since. The time has come.

"I knew they'd eventually come around," says Willey. "We have smart writers and rich history, not just romance. But now I'm back in the saddle."

Willey says working with Lucci is "like playing basketball with Michael Jordan. Susan is the franchise," he says. "The first time we were a couple it was just an honor to play with her, but everyone was watching her, as they would Michael Jordan. My job was to be reactive. Now I get to take actions. I get the ball. But the re-pairing was inevitable."

Most of Willey's fans know that he's had a comedy act for the past 12 years. He did improv before he ever joined the show. He takes his comedy act as seriously as he takes his day job and is constantly working on new material. He's been known to do an almost-two-hour set.

"The act has evolved over the years and has very little soap-opera-oriented material now." He admits that at first he was not that good, but now he is more comfortable with the craft.

"I always wanted to be Richard Pryor," he says. "No one can be Richard Pryor. He is the master. But he brought the joy of truth. That's my goal. I want to live, laugh and have fun."

 

[Poohbear123]

Aprille watching Mary and Erica banter back & forth is FUN!

 

[IASW Rider]

Great to see you, Aprille! And thanks for that neat article about Walt! I saw his stand up act in 1996, and I thought that he did a great job! Hey.............where are all of your WDW pictures??!!

Hi Faith!

Yeah, I'm enjoying Erica's and Mary's interactions, too! And when they showed them with Greenlee and Kendall, today.........I was picturing that it would wind up being mother-daughter vs. mother-daughter. As much as I'd like to see Erica and Kendall get "closer", I'm glad that it didn't turn out that way - I like seeing Kendall and Greenlee as friends, too!

I just knew that Henry would wind up eventually moving into Myrtle's...........I'm telling you - the SOS house band with Carlos is the next professional move for him! I think it's amazing that Maggie was offered an internship in the medical field, after her first year of college...........I should be so lucky, when I start school for my second degree, in a few months! Maggie as my "role model"?? Very scary!

I liked Bianca's scenes with Lena, today. Lena is much more pleasant when she isn't associated with Michael! I'll ask the question that I've been asking since the Santos's left PV.........who the heck is running SOS, these days, anyway??!! Will Ryan come back and become its manager, since he worked there for awhile? Did Mateo have a silent partner? Is it the same invisible person who is currently serving as PVH's Chief of Staff??

Carlos is going to work for Stuart at the Gallery? What will Fusion do, with its seemingly endless bounty of maintenance problems? They really need to find a new building in which to house their headquarters, if it requires so much maintenance that Carlos needs to be there every day!

And Mia is acting like such a jerk. I really hope that Tad and Liza get back together! I would rather see them with one another than with anyone else on the show!

Have a great night!

 

[sgtdisney]

Hello all. I am back from 2+ weeks in Sunny, wait cross that out, rainy Florida.. We had a great time. Ended up spending 10 days in Orlando which suited me fine.. Looks like I missed a LOT on AMC. I have yet to try to catch up. I only recorded the show every other day anyway.. I love spoilers anyway..

Greenlee is Jackson's biological daughter.. How wild. Now Greenlee and Bianca are cousins.. And as someone else mentioned Kendall and Greenlee will soon to be step sisters? WEIRD! What is it in Pine Valley with these mysteriously appearing siblings and parenting lines changing!

I will watch some of the show tonight, hopefully and try to catch up so I can make more pertinent comments.. LOL!

It is actually good to be home, I still wish I were at WDW, but being away for 16 nights with a 6 year old and a 16 month old is kind of, well, not all that relaxing. LOL!

 

[Poohbear123]

Sorry about the rain, we were there this time last year, and had 4 days of it! NEVER again in June. Hope you catch up with the show, and I am wondering does Greenlee KNOW she is Jackson's DD?

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Hi all, remember me?

Sorry I have not posted here in a while, especially the spoilers. I have just been so busy and trying to adjust to my new daytime schedule. It has been hard but it is getting easier. Had a rough beginning to the week - my car is dead. Driving my little brothers around right now while he is in Oregon.

I hope all is well with everyone!

Welcome back Sarge. I know how you feel about the rain, it rained here for like 5 days straight. Crazy!!

Well let me go find the spoilers for this week, most have probably happened though. I NEEEEEED to get the booklet for my VCR so I can start taping the show. This is the 3rd week I have missed!

Not yet.

Re: today's show...
Loved the interaction of Tad and Liza today which leads me to the funniest line of the day - when they were trying to convince each other that they couldn't relive the past...

Liza: Been there.
Tad: Done you

<B>SPOILERS FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 23RD</B>



Liza warns Tad to stay away from Mia

Kendall talks Mia and Aidan in helping her bring down Michael

Michael wants revenge on Lena

Anna and David are still unable to talk

Brooke makes an attempt to reach David

Greenlee questions Erica about Mary

Greenlee realizes her mother is hiding something

 

[Aprille]

Hi, Christine! We must have been typing at the same time. Sorry about your car troubles but you must admit it's a little ironic considering you work for AAA.

Hope you get the car issue resolved soon and get adjusted to the day shift. Crank up that VCR, girl! You're missing some good stuff!

 

[sgtdisney]

Well, I suppose there are worse things than rain, like snow... but I think we had rain 15 of the 16 days down there. Most of the time, in Orlando anyway, it was what I always think of a typical summer Florida rain.. Rains for an hour or so and then the sun comes back out. However the last 4 days in Davie and Miami, it seemed like it rained all day. On Sunday we were going through a torrential downpour on the Palmetto expressway. Oh well at least I wasn't at work. I came back to find out my director (manager's manager) had been fired and the place is in an uproar...
