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

[IASW Rider]

I guess in PV, you're born, you age really fast........and then all of a sudden, you stop getting older and remain the same age - even lose a few years, occasionally! They definitely have the fountain of youth, there. Must be something in the Pennsylvania Ocean water.

I was always annoyed by the fact that Erica is only supposed to be 14 years older than Kendall, too. Susan Lucci looks amazing.....but we know that she is not in her early 40's!

I also loved Marian's comment to Stuart about Greenlee's interrupting Leo and Laura's wedding, Pam!

And I thought that what Greenlee was saying to Roger's grave was very well written - for once, they are keeping with the "history" of the character - I think that her saying that Roger never loved her and she spent her whole life trying to live up to his expectations says a lot about why her character is the way she is, and why she's behaved the way she has, now and in the past. Greenlee's storylines are usually very well written.........though I still refuse to believe that she would ever have stormed into Erica and Jack's wedding and actually started reading from her mother's diary, in front of the whole town!

Glad that at least one of the PV "secrets" is out in the open, now. I guess they'll wait until this drama calms down before they allow Bianca to make her secret known. I have a feeling that when Erica finds out, there will be some very difficult and painful to watch scenes.

Anyway.........on a lighter note, it's great that Reggie is around, for comic relief!

What's with Jamie's hair and clothes? He looks like a cheesy Vegas lounge singer! Is that the new hip formal style for kids, these days?

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hey ladies, I just saw Cameron being interviewed on a local ABC newscast (WTNH New Haven). You might want to check-out your own local ABC station for sightings during the news. It looked like it was a press push hyping his return. It's too bad the guy that did the interview was kind of moronic but Cameron looked good and was gracious.

 

[BermudaJ]

Is anyone going to the luncheon next Sunday in NYC? I will be there to see the stars again and to visit with my other online buddies from across the nation. Can't wait. If anyone else is going, I would love to get the chance to meet you. Let me know.

Janice

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Good morning my AMC pals. I caught like 20 mins of the show on Friday - the middle of the show. Unfortunately I did not get to see much.

Hope you all are having a nice weekend.

 

[IASW Rider]

I'm sorry that you missed most of the show, Christine - it was a great one! Do you have SoapNet? Maybe you can catch a rerun, over the weekend?

Will keep my eyes open for interviews with Cameron, Pam! Can't wait to see him back on the show!

You know, every year I say that I am going to join the AMC Fan Club and go to the luncheon........and I always forget, Janice! I always wanted to go to one of those luncheons! Is it open to the public, or just to Fan Club members? I'm sure that you will have a great time! Please take lots of pictures, if you have a chance, so that we can see them!

Hope that you're all having a great weekend!

 

[Poohbear123]

Ready for SSW yet? I AM! Only 96 more days to GO! Time flies doesn't it?

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

I sure am!! I even requested the time off from job last week! I cant wait to see you again, last time was just too short. (about 15 mins?)


Have a great day everyone - it is already thundering here - looks like a wet soggy day. YUCK!

[IASW Rider]

You guys are so lucky to be going to SSW again, Faith and Christine! And it's thundering, grey, and rainy up here, too.

Wow - I guess that everyone was so shocked, moved, entranced or surprised after yesterday's episode that nobody posted about it!

So glad that David figured out Bianca's secret - I had a feeling that he would, sooner or later. Loved the way that Maggie tried to defend Bianca (and loved the surprised look on Bianca's face when Maggie started throwing Erica's wedding gifts at Michael, in an attempt to ward him off!). How the heck did Michael get out of that dumpster, anyway? It looks like David and Anna will uncover the truth and go after Michael - I hope so. I'll bet that it will be awhile before Bianca lets Erica know what happened to her, though. If Erica and Jack break up, that will be Bianca's new excuse for not telling her - she doesn't want to hurt her more, when she's already hurting.

And I loved Reggie's loyalty to Erica and "the family", even after he figured out that Erica had known that Greenlee was Jack's daughter, but purposely didn't tell him. He's turning out to be a great character!

Why would Greenlee set her childhood belongings on fire, ON HER COUCH?!! Even though at that point she may not have been caring about her own life, what about the lives of all of the other people in the building?? And doesn't she own that building?? I guess she wasn't caring about much of anything when she did that! YUCK - I hope that she doesn't get together with Juan Pablo. Imagine how weird she'll feel, once she finds out that he is Carlos's brother! So glad that we have been spared the sight of Carlos, for a few days!

Have a great day, everyone!

 

[scarlett873]

i missed the part where maggie was fending off michael yesterday! i saw up to the point where michael came in to where bianca was, but then i had to sign in a tester and totally missed it!!! i taped it so i'll have to go back and watch it. i did catch at the end where there seemed to be some lightbulbs going off in david's head though...

SPOILER ALERT









i had found a spoiler SOMEWHERE that said that bianca was going to tell erica the truth next week sometime...but i can't find that spoiler again...

oh well...here's hoping that she tells her soon!

 

[IASW Rider]

Hi Brandie!

Yes, definitely go back and watch your tape of yesterday's episode, if you have a chance - there were some great scenes with Maggie trying to support Bianca and convince her to tell someone, etc. I think that they both did great acting jobs. And then Maggie started throwing everything in sight at Michael, when she caught him cornering Bianca in the wedding room!

I thought it was neat how we could tell exactly the moment when David realized what was going on with Bianca, even though he didn't say a word. More great acting! These past few weeks have been the best on AMC, in awhile!

Hope that the truth comes out to Erica, soon, as well - it will be hard to watch, but I think that there will be some powerful scenes ahead.

Have a great day!

 

[sgtdisney]

I only want to know one thing...

Did Maggie get dressed in the dark? WHAT is up with the straps on her gown? Is it supposed to be that way? It looks like she put her dress on wrong.. Is that how straps like that are supposed to look?

Loved the Bianca/Maggie/Michael scene. Someone, eventually has to kill him.. They are making him such an evil dispicable character you know that they are gearing up to a murder.. It was hysterical when Maggie was throwing those gifts at Mikey. They sure looked awfully light, and didn't make any noise when they hit the floor. I suppose no one gave frames or glasswear to Erica. Maybe it was all strange lingerie or something...? LOL!

I agree with IASW Rider about Greenlee's pyrotechnics.. I can understand her anger and hurt. I can sort of understand burning your own pictures and memories, although I can say that is something I would never do... But to burn it in a box?? On a SOFA? In a CONDO? That was just plain ignorant, and actually out of character for Greenlee, I thought. Oh well. At least Tad stepped in to save the day.. I suspect that was all just a set up to get Tad and Liza together so he could spray her with a fire extinguisher...

 

[PamOKW]

If you blink you missing something these days! I missed that David had figured things out. Thanks for telling me about that. Did Michael say anything to Bianca?

I'm a little confused about David and Anna. Aren't they already married? Or was David just expressing the depth of his commitment when he said "get married"?

 

[IASW Rider]

Sarge - the same person who designed Maggie's uneven dress straps must have also designed the assymetric top of Anna's dress, as well! That must be some new style - if I'm not mistaken, Greenlee's bridesmaid's dresses (ie: Simone) were similar. Very odd, but possibly stylish - not my cup of tea, though!

You're right - there definitely has to be a murder in Michael's future! And Maggie should have thrown the one gift that we knew had something breakable in it - the one which Reggie shook (and presumably broke), the other day!

Pam - if you recall, Anna married David, initially, so that she wouldn't have to testify against him (as his spouse, she would be exempt), for some illegal thing or another that he had done at the time. Then, David forced Anna to divorce him, if you remember, so that she wouldn't jeopardize her Chief of Police job......because of some OTHER illegal thing or another that he happened to have been involved with, at THAT time! So they haven't been married for awhile, even though they were living together and functioning as a married couple the whole time that Anna was pregnant and Leora was alive.

The way that we knew that David had figured out that Michael raped Bianca was very subtle - it was a very subtle change in his facial expression and body language, when he was watching Bianca shivering on the stage while Anna was yelling at Michael about how he'd attacked Kendall and Erica. That's why I said that he did a great acting job - he conveyed that, without even saying a word.

Michael locked Bianca in the wedding room and told her the usual stuff about how she would never get rid of him and he would always be with her, etc. He grabbed her while she was trying to break out of the room, and wouldn't let her go. And that's when Maggie started throwing everything in sight at him!

 

[Poohbear123]

I heard Ryan's VOICE today! Still sounds the same. So, Juan Pablo is Carlos's BRO?! Cool, I must have missed that show! Alright Christine, I will SEE you there! Longer this time, Fri-Sun....hope you can stand me that long!

 

[PamOKW]

Thanks for the refresher, Lisa.

So, it looks today like maybe Ryan is coming back to PV a very wealthy man? And we'll have a very angry Michael?

 

[scarlett873]

i know that i read that there will be a murder in PV soon...


one can only assume it's michael!! and who on earth do you think would actually do it? they're building it up so that he has so many enemies now...i don't think that it's the obvious answer though...i don't believe that it will be bianca, erica, or even kendall. unless it's self defense or accidental...

and then will come the story line of covering it all up for another million years...

AMC has been pretty good lately!! can't wait for more!!

 

[Pembo]

Anyone else unable to watch the Greenlee/DonJuan kissing scenes? bleah! And how long has Greens been wearing that dress? Seems like a week or more.

Loved "hearing" Ryan today.........

Also loved Maggie and Binks scenes. I'm glad David is the one to figure out her secret and I'm glad he went to Erica. I didn't like seeing the previews for tomorrow with Erica and Michael.
Michael was so whiny on the phone with his daddy today. He just gets creepier as we go along.

 

[elgerber]

Looks like the whole Biance thing is going to come to light faster than we thought!! Erica's face broke my heart today. As did Greenlee (now if icky man would go away, though he wasn't too bad today).

I like Maggies dress, but the collar on Anna's is driving me nuts!!!

Wish they'd let us see Ryan instead of just hear him.

Who do you suppose can kill Michael. No real disposable characters in this mess now. Sounds dumb, but maybe his father will end up doing it? He doesn't need to stick around. Although, it doesn't matter who does it, no one goes to jail on this show anyway (except Janet, but she didn't stay gone too long).

Poor Jack, he'll have Greenlee to take care of, and the whole Bianca/Erica thing. He's going to stretched pretty thin. But, finally, we get to see lot's of Jack!!

Erika

 

[Poohbear123]

Erica to KILL Michael or pusibly Maggie, but Erica makes more sense, than Jack can defend her.
