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

[debknight]

They literally "bumped" into each other in SOS. She fell down and he bent down to help her up.

 

[PamOKW]

Thanks, Deb. After today's show, is he real or is he an angel? He seems to be popping up to help all the ladies.

My first thought was "Do we really need another bad actor with a fake accent on this show?" Then I can't stand the way all they girls on this show swoon whenever they see a good looking guy-They act like they've never seen a man before!!! Also, I've heard that this new actor is going to be playing Carlos brother-Sounds farfetched to me as one is fake Spanish and the other is Fake French. I have to say, I really like the Bianca storyline-It's the only "real" storyline with any substance on that show, and even thought it's grim, it is very absorbing-unlike the Fusion sex craved goddesses.

 

[lilboo]

Christine!!!!! Was just about to ask aloud if you'd be popping in!!


I haven't been watching much either...got a peek today though...
and based on the snippets I watched...my totally frivolous and catty comments:


Hated Erica's hair and dress today...I thought the 70s revival was over...but even if it wasn't...or even if that look w asn't supposed to be 70s reminiscent...she still didn't pull it off....

AAAAND...the whole Simone fantasy thing was lame to the point of embarrassing. Well....actually I 'm not sure I watched enough to decide whether it was so ridiculous it could count as funny in a kitschy/campy sort of way or if it was just an eye roller.

Well that's it...Lisa should be along with more substantive and insightful comments.

 

[PamOKW]

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't watch Sex and the City. The idea was to make AMC something like that when they started the "Fusion" storyline. So, is it like S&C? Are the fantasies part of that show, too?

 

[Poohbear123]

Glad to see you around. Yes, I think the "fantasy" scenes were idiotic too. Give me a BREAK! Did Binks tell Mommie Erica about the rape? Is Michael STILL around and ALIVE?

 

[IASW Rider]

Hey Everyone!

Welcome back, Christine, our beloved Founder! Hope that you have a chance to watch AMC, soon - it's been very good and eventful, lately!

"Substantive" and "insightful" comments, Jeannie???? I was worried that I was boring everyone to death with my incessant ramblings! Thank you for saying that, though!

I thought that the scenes with Liza, Tad, and Alfred Vanderpool were very cute! Good old Alfred! Though, like I said, I really think that her not having had contact with him in all these years is an "AMC historical inaccuracy" - I could SWEAR that he was helping her "hide the bankbooks", when she was embezzling money from Chandler Enterprises for Colby, last year, and only Mia knew. I distinctly remember her (and Tad!) calling him to help with some financial matters of some sort, within the past year or 2! And her new hairstyle looks very nice!

Faith - how are those puppies doing? Yes, apparently Michael is still around and alive.......but what he's doing in Erica's apartment is another mystery!

Hi Pam! - I'm not a regular "Sex and the City" watcher, either (because we don't subscribe to HBO) but I am familiar with the show from DVD's. S&C is much better than the Fusion storylines, in my opinion (and they are much racier, too!). The main difference is that the 4 main characters on "S&C" are truly long-time friends.......not just 4 women thrown together by starting a new company on a whim.........so the bond between them is real and has a history. No matter what silliness they go through with men, the basis of the show is their friendship with one another and the fact that they are always there for eachother.........the Fusion women would spit in eachother's eyes and betray eachother for the sake of a "sexy man".......very sad.

Hi again, Jeannie! I thought that Simone's little fantasy scenes - though silly - were pretty comical - very campy! Only her character (or someone like Opal) could have pulled them off, 'cause she is so silly to start with! If Greenlee is "the new Erica", then Simone is definitely "the new Opal"! It's nice to have some comic relief on the show, even if Simone is basically a caricature! She does embarrass herself, too much, though!

Hi PNelson! Carlos's brother???? Oh no!! Does that mean that Carlos is going to be around for the long term??? At least this new guy is easier to "take" than Carlos! I really thought that he was going to wind up being a "guardian angel" or a figment of the imagination of the Fusion women........not a real person / regular character!

Hi Sherry and Deb!

Hi Erika! Yeah, I'm STILL wondering what Maggie was thinking when she got dressed (especially to go on a date!), wearing that crazy outfit! I don't know what's happened to the AMC costume department, lately - they're definitely living in another decade - between the women's clothes and Carlos's John Travolta outfits (he should be so lucky to look like John Travolta!)! As always, Greenlee's wardrobe is the only one which is always great, in my opinion!

When David told Anna that he felt that they could never work out, now that Leora is gone, I immediately thought (once again) "Anna and Jack ; Erica and David". As much as I want to see Erica and Jack finally get married, as Erika said, I don't think it's going to happen. If the Greenlee -being-Jack's-daughter secret doesn't kill their relationship, then Bianca's rediscovered anorexia will (remember - the last time she stopped eating was when Erica and Jack were engaged, the last time).

Just wanted to let everyone know that Aprille says "hello" and that she misses everyone, here! Her work schedule has been so hectic that she's fallen behind in watching AMC episodes, and has to catch up, marathon-style, over the weekends. So she doesn't want to look at our thread too closely until she catches up. But she said that she will definitely post, when she's all caught up, and might start posting "thoughts for the week", similar to her "thoughts (and quotes) for the day"! Anyway, I'm sure that she will be stopping in, soon!

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

 

[Pembo]

Well I just read the thread since I missed the week due to my vacation! I did record Mon and Fri so I'll try to catch up this weekend. But it doesn't sound like I missed much.......

Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.........maybe he'll come and knock out Carlos? And please send me a I HATE CARLOS tee!

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Thanks guys. I miss you too and I will try to post the spoilers tomorrow night.


At work they have on Young & the Restless and whatever show comes on after that - talking about BORING!!! The whole time I am thinking how badly they would kill me if I was to get up and change the channel. LOL I do get to see a couple of hotties from GH though - Jack Wagner and the old AJ, think is name is Sean Kanan (or something like that). Oh and Keith Hamilton Cobb too - he cut all of his hair off, talk about a shocker!!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Faith - we need to start chatting about our trip to SSW!! I want to hang out with you again, you are too much fun. Ok you can tingle on your own though...... LOL

 

[Poohbear123]

Puppies are fine, we are thinking of changing thier names to Lady Bug and Bugga Boo! Not sure as yet. Yes, Christine, I am anxiously waiting for Nov. 7th 8th and 9th! I am hoping Ric and Sonny from GH will be there, as I KNOW I will be tingling away. So sad that Chris will not be there though.

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Hi Faith! Yes, so very sad that we will not be enchanted by Chris/Jackl Scalia this year. BUT maybe, hopefully, got all my fingers and toes crossed that Cameron Mathison will be there!!!! I would be in drool heaven if he was! I should start a countdown clock for that weekend!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Talk to you later.

Elise

 

[PamOKW]

Christine,

Thank you so much for taking time to post the Spoilers. They really are a lot of fun to read.

Elise -- No Ryan today. They're too busy introducing Pablo.

Pablo and Carlos? The writers really spent a lot of time on those names.

 

[lilboo]

Ladies (and gents) of the AMC!!!!

I'd hate to put the word 'hate' in a t-shirt so how 'bout this?

N O C A R L O S !

 

[sgtdisney]

Looks good to me, Lilboo.. I am so tired of Carlos and his smarmy behavior. Maybe he and Mary can hook up again and ride off into the sunset?

Eeewewew!!!

Smarmy! A more polite form of the word I'd use...but it fits.

Just turned it on....eeeew...who's in bed with whom with that cheeesy solo sax...whaaa..MArilyn and Tad???


Wonder if I can put 'no carlos' image in my sig...

 

[IASW Rider]

Loved your "NO CARLOS" logo, Lilboo! OK - when can we get those T-shirts printed??

UGH - I am so sick of watching the Fusion women throw themselves at men. Aidan should have spit in Mia's eye, yesterday, when she blatantly came out and TOLD him about the contest and about how she intended to win it (by seducing him). How rude! OK, I guess one could say "at least she was honest", but that wasn't very nice to Aidan - especially since she KNEW that he was still hurting and trying to get over Maureen. I'm glad that he rejected her! And the whole scene with Greenlee, Simone, and Kendall jumping up and down about their "perfect man" made me sick - don't these people have any pride or maturity? I'm sure that it's just going to get worse when Ryan returns...........

I haven't watched today's episode, yet, but it looks like it's going to be cute - especially if Tad has fantasy sequences like Simone did. At least they are bringing some of the humor back to the show, after those many depressing weeks, last month.

The dragging out of the Bianca storyline is very painful to watch, though. I can't believe that she told Erica that the reason she's been so upset is because she broke up with Lena. I wonder if Lena will catch on and realize that there is something REALLY wrong with Bianca, when she finds out that she told Erica that. And what the heck is Michael Cambias doing, walking into Erica's unlocked apartment?? What about that huge security team that Jack put "on" Erica, Kendall, and now Bianca? And doesn't Erica's building have security? What about the guy sitting at the station with the monitors? What is Michael Cambias doing, walking around PV, period? I thought that Adam said that he had "gone underground"!

Maggie is still wearing her maternity top........hopefully she'll change her outfit before she tries to "get Carlos", again - GAG.

Hope that you're all having a nice day!

 

[Poohbear123]

Christine: I am HOPING Cameron will BE THERE for SSW! Than I will get some great Pics of YOU Drooling..... Saw bits and peices of the show today, and it looks like ALL 3 girls are IN LOVE with the same MAN! Horrors! Acck!

 

[PamOKW]

especially if Tad has fantasy sequences like Simone did.

It ain't no fantasy. Nuff said -- you'll laugh when you see it.
