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

since I've seen this show (used to watch it from the very beginning to about 3 years ago), I don't know who ANYONE is anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Maureena, Simone, Aidan, Frank, Jami, Joanie.....??????????????????????????

I DO remember those original golden-oldies --

Jesse, Jenny, Angie, Billy Clyde, Ellen, Mark, Trevor, Natalie......

Ahhh - those were the good old days!!
 
and managed to watch 30 min of it today.....fell asleep during the Erica/Chris story!:confused: Yes, Kendall is VERY THIN, she looks about the width of a Quarter!:eek: :eek: NO Fat on that girl at all,, I wonder WHAT IF anything that she eats!:confused: :confused: Hello Baboo!;) and FOJMO!;)

Hey gang!

I haven't been too into the show lately. Missed it on Monday, and saw only the last 5 minutes today.
Will be interesting to see what Ed-dumb has to say about Maureena, Kendall, and Aidan being in the condo.

Your right, Kendall is a STICK!! :eek: :eek:

Best part of the show yesterday....Aidan in a bath towel! ;) :teeth:
 

Thanks for the updates and spoilers!! I just got back from visiting family in Florida (weather was awesome!) and am still catching up on the tapes. I did miss 2 days worth of the show when our local (Chicago) stations pre-emted the show on Friday for the George Ryan clemency crud and then again during our new governor's inauguration. It sounds like I didn't miss ANYTHING! Anyway, I know Edmund isn't very popular around here, but I always kind of liked him, that is until now! Why are the writers doing this to his character??!! What a Jack-a.. well you know. How can he ever expect Maureena to come back to him now? I may be in the minority here, but I am tiring of Aidan. Maybe it's because I don't care if he is shirtless? :) ;) I just think that whole storyline is silly, he is a knight in shining armor or an evil villian?? Who cares, not me anyway. If Jake and Frank are blowing town will there ever be any scenes at PVH? Who will be left there besides the less and less seen Dr. Joe? Are these re-casts or are the characters just leaving?? Oh well. Time will tell, I suppose.
 
Welcome back, Baboo and welcome, FOJMO! :)

Hi Everyone else! How are you all doing?

Well, Sarge, I still suspect that it is entirely possible that Maggie will graduate from college AND medical school in a matter of weeks, like Angie did, and should be taking over the hospital, soon! I used to like Ed-dumb, too......until Maureena came back and he started acting like a neanderthal jerk with her and with Brooke! But I can't believe that ONCE AGAIN, Brooke gave in and is being helpful and sympathetic to Ed-dumb. Will she ever learn??

The whole thing with Jake and Mia yesterday was stupid. And why would Boyd help out "the competition" at all? Even if Kendall HAD been there, I doubt that he would have agreed to model and pose for pictures for Erica's competition.

Who the heck is this Lena lady, and what does she REALLY want from Erica / Enchantment?

I agree with you, Pembo - I don't understand why Greenlee runs around wearing sleeveless dresses and midrif tops in the middle of winter - though they all look great on her! (Why don't they sell Greenlee's wardrobe on Shop the Soaps?? THAT I would buy! :) ) And I also agree with all of you - I can't believe how thin Kendall is! She doesn't look unhealthy - just incredibly narrow!

Nice views of Aidan, yesterday! Can't wait for them to speed up the romance between Trey and Greenlee, so that we can have some more similar views of him! :)

I haven't seen today's episode, yet - will post again later! Have a good night! :)
 
due to my play opening tonight and I have off tomorrow too! So, I watched AMC and, as I suspected, I'm not sure who ANYONE is!?

Is Maureena really Maria? I heard David (at least I recognized HIM) say something about a potion/medicine that will bring back her memory? So, she doesn't know she's Maria? Does Edmund know? Edmund looks like he gained a little weight since I last saw the show -- not fat, but full in the face...

Who's the guy who was taking the black kid from the hospital? Didn't know anyone there.

Guess I have a lot of catching up to do.

You can say that again!!


Hi FOJMO (Val) nice to see you here, please join us and tell us about what stories you used to enjoy. :) It has been a few months since we have seen Jesse on the show.
 
Saved from way back...........

Missed the show today.

sgt-Aidan's character is pretty worthless, I agree. He does look good in a towel though and they aren't many of those left on this show. We need some new BUFF characters. They knocked off Leo and Ryan......


Jr washed his hair finally. I'm so happy but he needs to stop biting his lips. My 6 yr old does that and it's annoying! :)

Have a good weekend everyone
 
Sorry to pop in with bad news but I just read this on PVB and wanted to share it with y'all. Sam Page (Trey) has been let go and KathyPVB has confirmed it. :(

PVB thread - Uncasting Scoop

It's also rumored that David Canary will be getting less airtime. Lots of rumors flying and heads rolling. I'm afraid the new ABC Daytime president is ruining our show!! He's about to run this 30-year-fan off. :mad: :mad:
 
Another PVB thread from several days ago y'all might find interesting and it also contains addresses to write AMC/ABC:

a word about axes, now and to come

To make it even easier I'll copy & paste the addresses here from KathyPVB's post on the above linked thread:
...here are those addresses to send your letters to. Email is not nearly as effective so write it out and put a stamp on it! A letter in the hand makes much more of an impact.

Anyone at AMC can be written to at:

All My Children
ABC - TV
320 W. 66th St.
New York, NY 10023

Brian Frons (President of ABC Daytime) can be written to at either location (found the LA one!). He has an office on both coasts.

ABC TV
77 W. 66th St.
New York, NY 10023

or

ABC TV
500 S. Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521
 
Trey is leaving now too??
OMG, I am gonna stop watching the show if they keep doing this. And if David Canary leaves, that would be the last straw. :mad: :mad:

Hate how arrogant Ed-dumb has become. I used to really like him.

DESPISE this nu JR kid. UGH!! I hate every scene he is in.
 
I hope they're not planning to make this into a "teen" soap. It's the 20-30 somethings that make it interesting. :)

Now that's who they need to get rid of!!! :rolleyes: This kid is pathetic. It's painful to watch all the nose-scrunching and eye and mouth twitching. :p

I'm afraid that's exactly what's happening. :mad: I believe this Nununu JR is one of Frons' finds (perhaps a relative?? ;)) and Frons is really pushing the teen scene. :mad:

Edited to add: Frons was quoted in a recent issue of SOD as saying he hoped JR and Laurie would be the next Greg and Jenny or Cliff and Nina. :eek: :eek: BLASPHEMY!!!
 
I have heard rumors that this Frons guy has never liked AMC and thought it was filled with overpaid, longtime stars... If my suspicions are correct, he is making a blatent attempt to drive off the old time fans and further lower the ratings of this once wonderful daytime drama. He probably assumes if he alienates enough of the core viewers the show will drop from the radar and die rather quickly. From what I have heard of this Frons guy, he sounds like a dolt. If the future of AMC is the JR/Laurie storyline and others like it, you can count me out. AMC, and any other soap for that matter, is really not watched by a teen audience. I don't know why they can't see that. If anything college students may get into it, so a more mature character base is in line. I can't beleive that they are letting go so many major characters in such short order. It is really sad. AMC has some very talented professionals and they have to suffer through this no-talent trash that seems to be Frons type of actor. I guess the upside of this, is if this turns out the way it looks, I can free up 5 hours a week of my time to do other things.. :( :(
 
Here's a link to a thread on PVB started by KathyPVB: Sam Page update It still has not been officially confirmed that he will be leaving but it doesn't sound good. Sorry, Lisa. :(

I know it was JEP's decision to leave the show to be with his family but I can't believe they're not going to recast Jake!!! He's a member of one of the core families of the show!! :mad: And less David Canary?!?! :eek: And the worst part of all . . . . . . . . more JR & Laurie?!?! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: NOOOOOO!!!!!

I don't like this new direction. I haven't watched any of this week's shows yet and I can't seem to muster much enthusiasm with all this depressing news flying around. :( I'll try to sit down and watch some of it. It probably won't take long as I will ff through all the teen crap. :mad:

LOL! Good point, Sarge.

Stopped watching the show, it is just too painful on my eyes!:o With all this crap of everyone leaving, its really getting on my nerves!:mad: I agree, If David Canary goes, that will be the final Straw for me!:mad: I hope that FRON's guy gets the BOOT and soon!:mad: He's about ruined the show for me!:rolleyes:
 
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( :( :(

HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO TREY??!! :( :( :(

My heart is broken.

UGH. How disappointing. :(

Thank you for posting all of those great an informative links, Aprille. Wow. I can't believe the possible shake-up / new direction that AMC may have or be taking.

If they're going to concentrate on the younger characters, at least get some good actors in there to play them! What ever happened to the days of younger AMC actors of the caliber of Kelsey and Kevin?! Now we're stuck with the wooden acting of JR (scrunchy face), Laurie (who never smiles), and Joanie (who is about as exciting as Laurie)?!! Jamie is decent - maybe they could build storylines around him, Colby (cheese), Maddie, and Sam......or better yet, leave the acting to Petey Cortlandt, if they're going to concentrate on the "younger characters"! This is just ridiculous! They're going to lose their great and long-time stable of talent - muchless their long-time stable of fans - if they focus on these idiotic, boring, horribly acted storylines! UGH!!!!!!

With that said.......why didn't Kendall object to Ed-dmb's walking into her new home, using his key??? Couldn't she have him arrested for trespassing, or something?!! The whole thing with him slipping Maureena David's drug in her drink is stupid.

The scene with Jamie trying to convince Joanie to go out with him was nice, but JR and Laurie......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

And again - who the heck is "Morgan" and why is she after Aidan??!!

And why is Tad "out of town", when he promised never to leave JR, during this "tough time", again??!!

Very weird writing going on, on the show, these days!

FOJMO - Maureen is Maria, but she lost her memory after the plane crash because David had given her an experimental drug with the side effect of memory loss. He made up a new life for her and told her to believe it (because he didn't want her remembering that he gave her an experimental, unapproved drug). Brooke and Tad found her and brought her back to PV. She knows that she "used to be" someone named "Maria", and has been told her background (that she was married to and had a family with Edmund, that she was a neuro surgeon, etc.), but she remembers very little, in spurts. David told Edmund that he is working on yet another experimental drug that might help Maureen fully recover her memory as Maria, but that it's not ready yet......still Edmund stole it and put it in her drink on Friday, because he is totally impatient and expects Maureen to instantly turn back into Maria.

The guy with the kid at the clinic is Trey, a relatively new character. He used to be "bad", now he's "good", he's a lawyer who was raised in foster homes and can relate to Reggie's unstable upbringing, so I guess he's taking him in to help him out. Trey is the biological son of Vanessa (Leo and David's mother) and Richard Fields (the guy who raped Erica, years ago, who is also Kendall's father).

Anyway........hope that you're all having a nice weekend! :)
