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

[IASW Rider]

Sounds more like a "nighmare bachelor", to me, if he's anything like Carlos in real life! Actually, maybe we should give poor Max the benefit of the doubt - he's probably a very nice person, in reality, and probably much more animated and fun than Carlos is! Besides, I recall one of our posters here saying that she met him at DL's SSW and saying that he was very friendly and sweet. Even though I am a charter member of the "I Hate Carlos Club", we should give poor Max a break, when he's not on the show!

AMC is on right now, but I'm waiting till DH gets home from work so that we can watch it together on tape. I'm curious to see how Kendall will react to seeing Mia and Aidan slide out from under that car, together! Can't Simone find ANYONE other than Carlos to be her "personal sexy man"?! It looked hopeful on Friday that Bianca would tell Erica about what Michael did to her, but I doubt that she will tell her so soon.

Thanks for those great updates from "Soap Opera In Depth", Sherry! Very interesting!

I actually liked Joanie and Reggie together, the other day, too......because Reggie was doing most of the talking, and kissing her so we didn't have to listen to her wooden delivery of her lines! I thought it was very sweet when Jack asked Reggie to be his best man, and Reggie's reaction was cute. I'm glad that they are keeping Reggie on the show, but I wish that they would keep Henry and Jamie around to be his buddies, at least.

Can't wait to see Ryan and his "new attitude"! And can't wait to see how they play Kendall and Greenlee against one another, with regard to him.........even though I was really liking seeing them becoming real friends, finally!

Have a great day!

I'm sorry, but I think that might be the booby prize.

Ooh...this is a tough crowd; I loooove it. Carlos in a 'celebrity refrigerators' spread???? Like, "Maximilian has a Sub-Zero with oak wood paneling....but, devil-may-care bachelor about town that he is, he never stocks it with more than a take-out order of Egg Foo Young and bottles of Pellegrino..."...that kind of spread? Okaaaaay.

"I Hate Carlos Club". Shall we make some t-shirts, Lisa?

Sher...what's the countdown to Ryan?

 

[PamOKW]

Lilboo! You saw the show. That's exactly what it was. A reporter in his apartment looking inside his nearly empty frig. I can't remember what was in it. LOL!

 

[lilboo]

No way!!! Oh, the poor dear ...sooooo busy spouting off lousy, INANE lines at the ABC studios that he can barely muster the energy and creativity to fill his fridge.

 

[IASW Rider]

Well, you know - it takes so much of his time and energy to bring forth his Emmy-worthy performances on AMC that he has no time for superfluous tasks, like food shopping!

 

[elgerber]

Where do we order those "I Hate Carlos" T-shirts? Put me down for one!!!!

Hi,

Pretty uneventful show, today. The whole thing with Montel and the Fusion women feuding was totally ridiculous. If I were him, I would have run out of the office as soon as I saw how unprofessional and childish they were being........or referred them to "The Jerry Springer Show", instead! And I couldn't believe how tacky Mia and Kendall were being, about Aidan - they were acting so pathetic and desperate - are they supposed to be friends and business colleagues, or high school rivals??!!

I just knew that Bianca wouldn't say anything to Erica or Lena....... I guess they really ARE going to drag this out for awhile - it's very painful to watch Bianca's discomfort and confusion. She's doing a great job with the storyline, though. She had better win that Emmy, this year!

I enjoyed the scenes with Jack telling Greenlee that she could use a friend, and the 2 of them reaching common ground. I hope that she finds out that she's his daughter soon, though, and that they don't drag THAT storyline on, indefinitely! How long can Erica walk around being all paranoid and Mary sit there, toasting herself and the future that she imagines that she, Jack, and Greenlee will have??

I wonder if Erica and Jack WILL ever get married? Between her eventually finding out about what happened to Bianca, and the memorial service for Chris that is (finally!) sure to happen. immediately following Ryan's return, she may be too preoccupied to order her gown from Paris, or whatever!

This was in an AMC newsletter I get:

Blast from the Past
Exciting news! On an upcoming episode, Pine Valley will be visited by a character from the past that has to do with the "Tad the Cad" storyline from the 80s! It was a great time for the stars to work together again...more when the airdate is announced. I hope you'll love it!!

 

[IASW Rider]

Oooh - who will it be??!! Hillary? Dottie? Edna? Bob? Who else was really "associated" with "Tad the Cad", besides Liza and Marian? It will be neat to see Tad get a blast from his past.........his pre-Ditsie past, that is!

 

[scarlett873]

i LOVE how the actress portraying bianca (i can't remember her name!!! eden?) is handling her scenes, especially in today's show! i'm not crazy about the story line dragging on and on, but she's doing a phenomonal job. you don't think that they're going to follow the old erica rape storyline, do you? where she ends up pregnant? i hope not...

i had to turn the show off today to go back to work right when erica asked kendall to be a part of her wedding. i'm assuming she said yes?

i hope that erica and jack do actually get married. they both deserve a touch of happiness in their lives! mary smythe is driving me up a wall!

 

[BermudaJ]

The Blast from the Past character that is coming on I think is Alfred Vanderpool played by Bill Timothy (sp?). I think he will only be on for one episode.

Hi Brandie! At first, Kendall said "no" to Erica, because she thought that Erica was only asking her to be in the wedding so that she would stop trying to find out what her secret was (ie: that Mary Smythe knows something that could potentially break up Jack and Erica). But then Erica convinced Kendall that she really wanted her there, and that it was actually Jack's idea, but that when she thought about it, it only seemed right that "my two beautiful daughters be standing with me on the most important day of my life", so Kendall agreed and they both hugged, and it was very touching. I also think that Bianca is doing an amazing job with her recent scenes, acting disturbed and nervous and hallucinating about Michael. I always thought that she was a great actress - I'm glad that they're giving her some scenes where she can really DO something. I also like the relationship that is developing between David and Bianca. I'll bet that he is the one who figures out what happened to her, judging by her behavior and what he knows about her past medical (and emotional) history. I wonder if this is the beginning of their possibly putting him back with Erica, though.......if he and Anna can't work things out.........if Jack really DOES start paying too much attention to Mary and Greenlee (or whatever) when he finds out that she is his daughter.........maybe Erica will start working with David to help Bianca deal with the rape, and then they will fall in love again.......who knows?

Hi Janice! Oh yes, good old Alfred Vanderpool! He shows up, every once in awhile, when ever Liza needs a financially related favor, since he's President of Pine Valley Bank (or something like that!). I definitely remember him from the good old days! I'll bet that as a joke, he is going to be the guy whom Tad sets Liza up with, in their stupid "love of your life" contest. What's with all of these characters having contests to fall in love? It's like all of PV is turning into a crazy reality TV show! As I've said before, we have to deal with enough stupid reality TV in prime time - keep it off of our daytime TV!!!!

Has it really been a year since Greenlee and Leo's wedding? Time flies. I wish that he was coming back. When Greenlee was telling Carlos that she doesn't even know who he is, because he never lets her see who he really is, I expected him to exclaim "I'M CARLOS!" again........as if that explains his mysterious, enigmatic personality........give me a break! And what the heck were Maggie and Simone wearing, when they were fighting over him? It looked like they were both wearing maternity tops! I like the new friendship which is forming, between Greenlee and Jack. She deserves to have a nice "father figure", after having to deal with slimy Roger for all of those years.

Have a nice day!

Alfred! Oh, I like him! It will be nice to see him again!!

The whole Erica not wanting Mary to tell Jack that Greens is his daughter is blech! I hate when they do that. Just tell him already. I don't know what Erica is so afraid of.

I couldn't agree more. And what is even worse, any one who is rational would realize that a secret like that will come out eventually and when the people involved knew you were hiding it from them, it makes it even worse. I wouldn't be surprised if this 'secret' breaks up Jack and Erica (I almost typed Diane.. LOL

 

[IASW Rider]

...........and if that happens, Erica will turn to David, the only person who understands Bianca - that is my prediction! Though I really hope that Erica and Jack finally get married! I like her with Jack so much better than I liked her with Chris. I liked her with Jack, years ago, too!

I almost felt sorry for Simone when Carlos rejected her - yet again - today. Her throwing herself at him so blatantly is pathetic, but at the same time, it's hard not to feel badly for her when Carlos is simultaneously flirting with Maggie and Suzanne-the-bartender and won't even give her the time of day (in my opinion, that makes her lucky, but...... )!

Great scenes with Bianca and David on the roof!

It's great to see that Erica finally has someone to fight with in restrooms, other than Brooke! I KNEW that Mary's return was serving a purpose!

Have a great night, all!

 

[Poohbear123]

Saw the last 4 min of the show today, where is Binks? I saw her leave yesterday, where did she go?

 

[elgerber]

Ack, what the heck was Maggie wearing? She used to be so cute, and I really liked her, but lately they have changed her image and personality just a little too much. These women and their men obsessions, enough!!!

Erica, of all people, should know that when you hide secrets it's only worse when the truth comes out.

Did you see Liza in the previews for tomorrow? Looks like a second major haircut in the last couple of weeks. I like Liza, I hope she and Tad are on more in the future. They are a great pair, and provide great comic relief!

I loved David and Erica together, but I've always loved Jack and Erica too. I highly doubt they will actually make it the altar with this secret.

Hello everyone, the long lost founder of the AMC fans is doing her monthly pop in. I just have not been watching the show so I dont have much to add to this thread. I guess I should be posting the spoilers - I will try next week!

Is Ryan back yet?

I miss you guys, one day I will start taping the show.

 

[dizneenut]

Hi Christine!!
How's it goin'?


Nope, no Ryan yet.

 

[PamOKW]

I guess I should be posting the spoilers - I will try next week!

Please..... But, we miss you not just your info. Lots of twists and turns happening on AMC so it's hard to keep up!

Speaking of which. I blinked today and missed how the new "mysterious stranger" hooked up with Greenlee. Can anyone fill me in? Thanks.
