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

[PamOKW]

It's good that they did that public service message. Bianca did just about everything they tell a rape victim not to do and young girls might not know it.

Which had me thinking yesterday that she was too smart to do that. Some of the flashbacks today also have my suspiscions up. Anyone else think that maybe Bianca killed Michael? We haven't seen anything of him except for mistaken identity.

Yeah Maria and Edmund are in love....we get it. The PV timeframe had them eating Chinese in the park at the same time Anna and David were having late morning coffee.

Oh, Aidan as mechanic is a good thing!

Say hi to the puppies! You need your rest to follow all the action this week!

 

[Poohbear123]

I have one on my lap now!

 

[BermudaJ]

I believe Cameron Mathison (Ryan) will be returning on or around July 22nd, for any one who is interested. (I can't think of anyone who isn't interested - LOL!)

[kylie&haley'smom]

i got the feeling binks killed michael also. i have a feeling she will turn up pregno also. i do believe erica will blame kendall for bianca's rape. i do not think erica and kendall's mother daughter new found relationship will last. no one will ever measure up to binks. carlos is gross,please write him off amc writers. the whole maggie-carlos-henry thing was boring. he was not polite,he hit on her in a tacky way. i'm glad greenlee and carlos aren't together anymore. she deserves so much better. but of course who will ever compare to leo!!!!

Hi Everyone!

I've been gone from this thread for ages trying to get caught up on my AMC episodes! I missed a bunch when my oldest DD had identical twin girls and I spent a lot of time playing "grandma" for the first time!!!!!!!!!

Edmund's chest grossed me out too. How about we have a scene where he goes to the opening of the new Pine Valley Spa (I just made that up--it could be attached to the Health Club/gym place) and he wins a door prize for a free chest wax! Now THAT would give us lots of chuckles!!

Can't wait for Ryan to return!!! YEAH!!

Well, we're off to WDW tomorrow so I'll be behind on AMC--again!! I'll say HI to Mickey and SNOW WHITE for everyone!!

 

[BermudaJ]

TV Guide Online just posted that AMC is letting go of three more characters - Henry, Joni and Jamie. I liked the Jamie character and didn't mind the Joni character lately. They seemed to have ruined Henry and never really gave him a good storyline.

Pam-I too noticed Ed-dumb & Maria having Chinese when everyone else was talking about how early it was.

Binks killed Michael???? Now that would be something but what did she do with the body? That could be a great storyline.

PKK/MJK-Congrats on being grandma to TWINS! How fun!

I want to marry Aidan. He's so multi talented. Greens should go after him!

 

[IASW Rider]

Hey Everyone!

Welcome back, Mary Jo!

Glad to hear that the puppies are doing well, Faith!

Another comment on Ed-dumb and Maria..........did anyone catch the blatant sexual innuendoes, when they were in bed, yesterday?

Maria: ".....It's hard to tell where I end and you begin...."

(Ed-dumb looks under the sheet)

Ed-dumb: "......well, that's definitely YOU...."

(Maria REACHES under the sheet)

Maria: "well, THAT'S definitely YOU....."

(they both dive under the sheet and Maria says something like)

Maria: "get your elbow out of my eye....."

Ed-dumb: "....that's not my elbow....."

Maria: "......that's not my eye...."

My DH and I were like WHOA! We couldn't believe how risque that scene was! As for the Chinese food scene, did anyone else wonder if Ed-dumb got Chinese food in Maria's hair, when he wrapped his chopsticks around her neck (after just taking them out of his mouth) to bring her head closer, for a kiss??

I can't believe that they are going to let Henry go - I liked him! Although now that he's been kicked out of PVU, I don't know what they could do with his storyline, unless he and Maggie got back together. I also liked Jamie - he had real potential as an actor. Joanie on the other hand - I'll be happy to see her go! I wonder if they will actually explain why they're all off the show, or if they will join the others at that mythical medical convention, never to be seen or heard from, again...........! Why can't they just get rid of CARLOS, instead??? I can't believe that they would let Jamie and Henry go, but keep Carlos around. Even though they are supposed to be younger, couldn't one of the Fusion women pick one of them as her "sexiest man"? Simone wouldn't mind going for a younger man, I'm sure! Heck, she wouldn't mind going for ANY man!

I also thought that Eden Riegel's public service announcement at the end of the show was very well done.

I don't think that Bianca killed Michael - I suspect that Sarge is right - someone will kill him in the future, after he's walked around town with that smug expression on his face for awhile, and Bianca finally gives in and admits what happened to her. Then there will be a big "whodunnit" thing, with the wrong person being accused and going to jail, etc.

I liked the scene between David and Bianca yesterday, too. Who knows - maybe HE will be the one whom she turns to (because he is a doctor, because he helped her through some of her anorexia issues, and because he used to date Erica), when she finally needs to talk.

I wish that they would stop teasing us and get Tad and Liza together, already, if they are going to do it!

Have a nice day!

 

[Pembo]

I thought that whole bed scene with Ed-dumb & Maria was a bit much. Little more Cinemax than daytime tv.

I was starting to like Joni! Does that mean Reggie is staying without her? And no more Jamie? I like this Jamie. When he comes back will he be 30???? Could care less about Henry. ho-hum......he can leave and take Maggie with him.

Where's Petey??? and Lysistrata???

Bought ABC Soaps In Depth yesterday.
Lots of AMC info.

About Ryan:
"Ryan comes back with some power from a source that I think will be an interesting surprise for the audience. He's a bit of a scoundrel again. He's a little older and he's alot wiser. He certainly has tried to play by the rules in the past, [but] I wouldn't look for him to do that this time. Ryan went out of town on his motorcycle with nothing, and now he's coming back on top, not on bottom."

According to McTavish, there will be 2 ladies looking to get their clutches into the hunk, but it's not the first time either one has done so. "Greenlee was involved with him [before she fell in love with Leo] and Kendall was engaged to him [before he left]. Both women--as the audience will see--will have very good reason to go back after him.

And although McTavish emphasizes that Ryan will come back as a "force to be reckoned with", she adds; "At heart, he's always a good guy."

 

[dizneenut]

Bianca/Michael

"Bianca was [raped] not because of her sexual orientation, but because she is the beloved of all the people that Michael hates," McTavish is quick to point out. "She is Erica's darling. She is Kendall's sister. She is Jack's niece. She is Lena's love. Boyd is one of her best friends. She becomes, in a sense, the sacrificial lamb, because everyone loves her and because she is truly the most innocent of all those involved in this story."

Will Bianca Reveal Her Secret?

Back at Myrtle's, Bianca flashes back to Michael grabbing her and flips out when he walks in and hugs her. But when she turns around, it's Lena who's there, and she's with a cop! This makes Bianca even more upset, but Lena explains that Jackson wanted all possible targets protected from Michael. Just then, Erica arrives, and Bianca asks a stunned Lena to leave.
Once the two are alone, Erica explains what happened the night before with Kendall, opening the door for Bianca to ask how her mother ever got over being raped. Ericas says that she's not sure anyone ever does, but admits that hiding it from Mona was a mistake. "Erica knows there's something [wrong], but she doesn't know what," explains Lucci, "and she tries so hard to find the way to get through to Bianca."
"When Bianca looks into Erica's eyes, she sees how much this person lover her, and she feel's it's a huge responsibility for her to take away Erica's happiness," points out Riegel. "Erice has made this huge breakthrough of her own, she's getting married to Jackson, and finally everything is falling into place. How can she deprive Erica of this one chance at happiness she finally has?"
"This begins a story that is going to take awhile to tell ," concludes McTavish. "It has many twists and turns to it and is going to bring in a whole lot of other people. It's tragic, but tragedy overcome, tragedy fought with...Tragedy can be very inspirational."

 

[PamOKW]

Well, based on today's story Joni is probably going to get sent far away from Reggie....probably to do some missionary work.

It's funny how kids can be tossed away -- first JR, now Jamie...and where is Petey anyway?

Yes, the quips in bed yesterday were a little shocking for daytime TV.

 

[elgerber]

I was actually rather liking Jamie and Joanie. I think she and Reggie are cute together!!! I loved his reaction when Jack asked him to be the best man.

Until Bianca tells Erica, I'm irritated with this storyline. I think Erica's reaction will add some interest. I just want her to hurry up and do it!! Let's get moving, so we can get past this disturbing topic.

Henry can go, but I wish he'd take Carlos with him!!!!!


Erika

 

[Pembo]

I think Carlos the cave man should leave when Joni does. I like Joni and I'd love to see her bible-beating dad learn to "deal" with Reggie. Too bad.

Sherry-Thanks for the info! Ryan.......Can't wait to see him again. I think they should pair him with someone completely different then Greens or Kendall. Again, another TALL man for Greens. They need to hire an actor her height! LOL!

 

[PamOKW]

They need to hire an actor her height!

Is Mickey Rooney available?


I agree that the "bedroom chat" yesterday was suprisingly risque but while flipping channels today I saw scenes on one of the CBS soaps that almost crossed into "soft porn". I hope folks realize what's on during the day when the kids are home for the summer.

 

[PamOKW]

I'm not exactly sure what to make of this "recap" that is in my local TV listing. "Bianca encountered Michael and knocked him unconscious".

Now, we didn't see that but it plays in to my theory that Bianca has done something to Michael and that's part of why she is being so secretive and cleaned everything up.

 

[PamOKW]

Hey, where'd everybody go? Is everyone at WDW? No posts all weekend on the AMC thread.

 

[sgtdisney]

I was around, just too busy to even get online. I think what the recap may have been referring to is when Bianca hit Michael with the fireplace poker when he was lying on the floor before he began to assault her. Who knows though? I am caught up on the shows, except for Friday, and it is really kind of depressing.

 

[PamOKW]

I guess I'm off-base with Bianca having killed Michael. I just read an upcoming spoiler that has him still alive.

Also sounds like more "mysteries" will be coming to PV.

 

[PamOKW]

I'm sorry but the word coming to my mind is "yuck!" Guess who is one of the "Dream Date" bachelors on Regis & Kelly? That's right...Carlos! Here's his description:

Maximillian Alexander - Soap Opera Star
Height: 6'3"
Age: 26
Born in Texas and raised in Mexico, this sultry soap opera star plays the sexy Spanish-speaking cast member Carlos Reyes on "All My Children." He keeps his cast members on their toes with his practical jokes and spontaneous sense of humor. A talented actor, music writer and dancer -- turns out, he can tear up quite a tango.

I'm sorry, but I think that might be the booby prize. Maybe he'll show a little more personality in person. Shortly after he came on the show he was featured in a local NY news story about celebrity refrigerators. He was pretty stiff then, too.
