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

Hey Everyone!

Well, that was really some show, yesterday! I enjoyed seeing the clips in Maria's flashbacks. But - notice how she only remembered the positive things in her past? She didn't remember anything about Dimitri or Kelsey or Del or Erica being mean to her when she was on painkillers - or stealing Maddie, etc. etc.!

I also thought that that body of water looked like a big whirlpool / jacuzzi, Faith! And I also thought that it was amusing that Maria had this big revelation while Maddie was floating somewhere, out there, Sherry! Erica and Jack are definitely still on the show - surely you saw the big press conference, the other day, where Michael got what he deserved?? :)

PNelson - They never really went into Chris's connection to Flanders, except that he was a criminal to whom Chris owed a favor, because he knew that Chris witnessed something at some point that he never admitted to, or something (?!?!). So he hired Flanders to spy on Erica and Jack, amongst other things. He originally intended to have Flanders kill Jack - which Flanders wouldn't have minded doing because Jack "put away" Flanders' father or brother in jail, or something - but told him not to kill Jack at the last minute. Of course, Flanders was so excited by the prospect of getting back at Jack, that he shot him anyway.

I agree with you, Erika - Maria is a great cryer! She always makes me cry, when she cries, too! I'll never forget that scene, years ago, when Ed-dumb took Sam out of her arms at the airport - I was bawling, right along with her!

Lilboo and Sarge - :) :) :) LOL!

I agree with you, Pam - I have a feeling that it will be awhile before Maria tells anyone how much she remembers. I hope that they're not going to kill off Aidan - he's sort of grown on me, since his beginning on the show, when he served no purpose! And I also hope that they keep Lysistrata around, even if not as a love match for Tad (who SHOULD be the Sexiest Man in America, Lilboo - I agree! I can't believe that they put an "age cap" on their stupid contest. That's ridiculous! Notice how they never said exactly what that "cap" was, either?!).

Very interesting theory about Regina and Henry, Claudia (welcome, by the way! :) ). I definitely think that there is more to their connection than just her having a crush on him and their cultural similarities and values. She seems so mysterious, every time she's talking to Maggie......unless that's just another example of the wooden acting by the younger cast members of the show - like Drone Chick (Laurie) and Sister Christian (Joanie)!

I can't believe how rude Greenlee was being to and about Simone, yesterday. I thought that they had formally "buried the hatchet", already. And I'm so sick of this cat and mouse thing that she and Carlos have going. If they're going to be together, let them just be together, already! I still think that each of them is more suited to someone else, but....... I enjoyed the back and forth conversations that the Fusion women and the guys at the gym were having, about men and women. I almost expected them all to burst into a sort of "Summer Lovin' " from "Grease" kind of song, with the women singing one part and the men singing another, with Greenlee and Carlos as the "Sandy" and "Danny" of Pine Valley! :)

Have a great day! :)
 
DANG!!!!!! I knew I would miss something good while I took my trip to WDW. I missed the news conference with Cambius. What happened????? dang dang dang
 
Hi Christine!

Well, I say that even as much as I love watching "AMC"........being at WDW is better! :)

Michael called a press conference to announce that Cambias Industries was taking over Enchantment. Erica was there, pretending to quietly "concede her thone". Michael got up in front of the crowd of reporters, all cocky, telling them how Cambias Industries no longer needed Enchantment, because they developed their own age-defying cream formula, which they would release first, thus putting Enchantment out of business (thinking that he had BoydBoydBoyd's formula, and Enchantment now had nothing). But then Erica got up in front of the crowd and told them that the formula that he had - the one that he had Lena STEAL from HER safe - was nothing more than a formula for regular cold cream, because the "main secret ingredient" had been purposely left out of the formula on that disk. She made a fool of Michael and told Michael's father that she would forget the whole thing - if she could have Michael's seat on the Board of Directors of Cambias Industries. Michael's father called him a "disgrace to the family", welcomed Erica to their Board of Directors, and Michael was totally humiliated. Then, Kendall produced evidence that Michael had Enchantment's files on his computer, and the police showed up and took him away in handcuffs. As he was being led out of the press room, he yelled over his shoulder at Lena that she'd better watch out, or else her mother would die (smart thing to do, while in the process of being arrested for something else!). At that moment, Bianca realized that Lena had been telling the truth about being blackmailed by Michael, and Jackson told Lena that he would work out a deal with her, so that she wouldn't have to go to jail, too. Apparently, that night when Bianca had asked Jack to look into Lena's story about her mother having to hide because Michael was holding her shady past over her head had proven to be true.......and all of a sudden, Lena's mother showed up in the press room, and Lena fell into her arms, crying. Apparently Jack had arranged to have her flown to PV, to be safe, and also to prove to Bianca that Lena was telling the truth. After it was all over, Erica, Bianca, and Kendall toasted one another with champagne (actually, probably sparkling cider). And that was the end of Michael!
 
Well Brooke knows now, and Maria told her she love Edmund. Then Eddy started to tell her Aidan loves her, and she stopped him, and in tomorrow's previews (even after Aidans return) she was still teary and trying to tell Edmund! Maybe she will actually do it!!!! I may need a large box of kleenex though, she just kills me when she cries. Of course, I'll be out of town tomorrow so I'll have to watch it later.

Erika
 

Will tommorrow be THE day???:confused: Or will SOMEBODY else interrupt?:confused: :rolleyes: She won't tell him to next week I bet!:rolleyes:
 
I cried again when Maria cried yesterday, too, Erika! I am such a sap! But she IS a very convincing cryer! And she has different "gradations" of crying, too - there's the "burst of happiness cry", like when she admitted to Brooke that she remembers, there's the "burst of sadness cry", like when Flanders first threw Maddie in the water, then there's the "all out happiness or sadness cry" - like when Eddy took Sam away from her, years ago, or when she first thought that Aidan hadn't survived the boat crash. She's very good at bringing up those emotions and doing so convincingly! I don't know how she does that, on cue! But it is very affecting! I always thought that she was a very good actress.

In the mean time, I can't believe how "well" Brooke took Maria's saying that she loved Ed-dumb. She must really be either a saint or a total masochist to say "oh, that's all right - it's better that you have those feelings than if you remembered and your feelings had changed....", without then going home and killing herself!

I think you were right when you said that it's going to be awhile before Maria gets to tell Ed-dumb about her memory, Faith!

Isn't the baby who plays Leora totally adorable?! I was so bored by Anna and David's 5000th discussion about the pacemaker that I just concentrated on the baby's little facial expressions, instead - very cute! :)

I see that the evil, conniving businessman Adam of old is making a return.......I wonder what he has in store for Michael. I can't imagine what it is (unless it's to bring down Fusion, to get back at Liza) - he has no interest in Erica or Enchantment.

Did anybody catch Walt Willey and Catherine Hickland on "Caroline Rhea", yesterday? Walt was very funny!

Have a great day! :)
 
i was so happy when maria told brooke about her memory yesterday!!! but i'll bet that she can't tell edmund for a bit. something or someone will keep interrupting...

are they still going to the leora dying storyline? i haven't paid much attention to it lately...but i'd hate to see that baby not there anymore. she's so adorable!!

will anyone ever find out that chris is dead? his body will probably wash ashore or something at some point. he deserves to "rest in peace"...
 
Well is M & M goes back to Edmund I will GLADLY take Aiden off of her hands! :teeth: :teeth:

Watching the show now - look is Lysistrata (however you spell her darn name, lol). She looks good.
 
LOL - Liza on Tad the Cad, "I can almost hear your theme song" That had me laughing, great line Liza!!

Tad is such the devil and I love that!!
 
what happened today? i missed it cuz i was at lunch with hubby...
 
what happened today?

The big one....Maria let Edmund know that she has regained her memory.

Michael has gotten out of jail and is plotting with Adam. He also walked in on Erica alone in her office and it looks as if he may be going to attack her.

I missed some of the other parts of today's show, too.

Can someone fill me in on how Aidan went from going to go home with Maria and Edmund to winding up in the bar buying Kendall a drink? Does he know Maria has regained her memory?
 
I only saw bits and pieces ....but ....I'm pretty sure that Aidan knows, he called her Maria....He went to the bar cause he knows it's over, he still loves her but she is going back to Edmund.....
 
Pam-Yes Aidan knows she regained her memory, I think he found out when it was happening to her on the now burned up Fidelity. He went to Wildwind at the request of Bratty-Maddie then left and went to the bar. Poor Aidan! At least he didn't end up dead!

Maria telling Edmund today was so awesome!

Anyone else NOT like Simone and her trampy ways?
Carlos and Greensleeves....yadda yadda yadda.........
 
Wow - I wish that Maria would stop all this crying - I need a box of tissues, every time I watch the show, now! As much as I liked Maureen and Aidan together, I have to say that it was great to see Ed-dumb and Maria "reunite" at the end of yesterday's show - very touching! I wonder if poor Mia will have a nervous breakdown, though, being dumped by 2 men in the span of a few months? And they elude to the fact that Ed-dumb and Maria sleep together on the next show......does he even remember that Mia exists?! At least Maria had a somewhat sentimental "goodbye" scene with Aidan, yesterday! I wonder if he and Kendall will have another fling, now, before she (of course) ultimately ends up with BoydBoydBoyd and he (of course) ultimately ends up consoling Mia?

I can't believe how poorly Tad treated Lysistrata, at the gallery! A few days ago, he was mourning Ditsie, and now he's being totally rude, ignoring his date, and flirting with someone else, right in front of her?! I love "Tad the Cad", but I hope that he apologizes to Lysistrata! I thought that Liza looked great, at the gallery - she seems so much more "alive", since she divorced Adam. And it was great to see Marian, for a few minutes, too!

Pembo - I couldn't stand Simone when she was pretending to be Mateo's girlfriend, or when she was with Roger, but since they've sort of made her a comical character and a caricature, I enjoy seeing her antics! Also, since they've given us a little bit of her history and background, we can kind of understand why she's so needy of attention, etc. I DO think that they should calm down her "trampiness", though, if they want her to be at all "believable" and relatable (assuming they ever do have her involved in another "real" relationship, again). But I think that she is pretty funny, and I like when she "tells Greenlee like it is"!

Speaking of which, I am so bored by this Greenlee and Carlos storyline, which is sad, because I'm usually not bored by any of Greenlee's scenes. I always say it, but they really need to pair her with someone else!

I thought that Kenny was adorable, yesterday, trying to be "stand offish" (and Tad told him "go 'stand off', over there"! :) ) to get Simone's attention. They would be a good couple, with Simone's strong personality and Kenny's sort of sweet, bumbling personality - they would be cute and funny together!

I REALLY hope that they are not going to have Erica and Kendall be rivals, again, as was sort of hinted at, yesterday. Just when it looked like they might finally get along, they have to create antagonism between them. Oh well - I guess we should have known that it was too good to last. In the mean time, it was nice seeing "Jan Brady", again - maybe she is the "new Donald Steele", and we'll be seeing her every time they need to have an annoying tabloid reporter, for a storyline! (I hope that they keep Donald Steele around, too, though!)

Have a great weekend, Everyone! :)
 
:bounce: YEA! Maria and ED-DUMB are BACK!:bounce: Boy, she sure can cry can't she?:rolleyes: ;) (I went thru a BOX of tissues too, and I only caught the last 15 min of the show):rolleyes:
 
You just never know where Simone will pop up! I was watching "Boy Meets World" on the Disney Channel today....a fairly old one when Corey was like Jr. High age. His older brother needed tutoring and the tutor was a very seductive teaching assistant who told him she'd give him the answers so they could smooch instead of study....SIMONE! I know it was just the actress but she might as well have been playing Simone the way she acted. It was very funny to see the "young Simone", she didn't look much different.
 
Saved Erica from Michael!;) Oh, and if I see Maria and Ed-dumb KISS one more time..........:rolleyes: Its a wonder they have lips at all!:rolleyes:
 
Sorry to jump in here but I just had to!!! I really like Carlos but that song was just cheeeesy!!!!!
 
Today's show sure was jam packed! Making up for all the long boring periods with one shot.

I'm with you on Carlos' singing. His whole character doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense. He also must be dumb as a brick. He didn't think Greenlee Enterprises would be in any way connected with his wealthy love interest, Greenlee....because her last name is Dupree? Come on. He knows she was married and besides, he thought her name would be Greenlee Greenlee?
