~ All My Children Fans ~ What's new in Pine Valley? *Rebecca returning as Greenlee* Part 2

[elgerber]

It's so bizarre & confusing.....Jessica's father was Mitch & Natalie's father was Clint, but Vicki delivered them both....sort of! I think Vicki delivered Jessica & Nicki (one of her alter egos) delivered Natalie, which is why she didn't remember having twins.

So that was how they explained that whole thing?????? I quit watching right after it was revealed that Natalie was really her daughter. So she had twins, but they had different fathers??????????? Wow, even AMC doesn't go that far into the twilight zone!

Yup! And I agree - "that far into the twilight zone" about covers it! I thought that storyline ranked right up there with the GH one about the Cassadine's freezing Port Chuck back in the 80s.

LOL, yes I have always thought GH has been the most far fetched soap on ABC, but OLTL is a pretty close second. What was that stuff they did awhile back with some western city, and one with a lost city or something stupid like that???

 

[piratesmate]

Oh my! I'd forgotten about that one! I actually kind of liked that one. Far-fetched, but fun. I'm assuming you mean the one where the Buchanan clan kept getting swept back in time to the old West?

Yeah, that one, and wasn't there another one with a lost city or something? And they had futuristic kind of outfits???

 

[piratesmate]

You're right - they're had more than their share of bizarre storylines! That one was an underground city that they accessed through a cave on Llantano Mountain. Something about Vicki's weird, abusive father & some far-fetched cult wasn't it?

 

[sgtdisney]

I just wanted to chime in and say the show is really getting dumb lately. Bring back Proteus. Blech.

 

[piratesmate]

It's pretty bad when we long for the days of Proteus, isn't it?

You know, I've been reading that TPTB on at least one other ABC soap (trying to stay on topic here ) have committed to using their veteran actors a bit more....making them more a part of current storylines even if they're not giving them their own. I wish AMC was doing that too! JR & Jonathan are getting way too much air time (since I hate their characters) and it would at least alleviate some of that if others needed to be onscreen too.

I'd love to see more of Opal & Palmer (the old coot ), Myrtle, Stewart & Marian, Dr Joe, etc. Of course the last few times I've seen Dr Joe I wasn't happy either. I guess I'm never happy. I just can't stand the capacity Dr Joe has for carrying a grudge against David. I thought he (Dr Joe) was supposed to be a sympathetic character???

 

[luvwinnie]

What does J.R. DO exactly that he needs to be in a 3-piece suit? Ok, so now he's going to work with Ethan...but before this, he was jobless I guess? PLEASE, I'd do anything to see someone in a pair of jeans! At least JR calmed his hair down...remember his "Joker" look?

I also wonder how Tad keeps that house and manages to not really work...ok, so I'm jealous I guess!!

ETERNA!!!!

The explanation that Jonathan gave for "how" Braden managed to shoot Ryan and poison Greenlee was laughable - especially the part about how Braden managed to drug Greenlee to the extent that she had to be institutionalized during the course of just a few visits to Fusion and Ryan's home (even if Braden WAS there, how did he ensure that the drugs got into Greenlee's food / drinks? It makes NO SENSE.). I can't believe that the writers are expecting us to buy this garbage. I can't believe that the writers expect THE OTHER CHARACTERS to buy this garbage!

I was thinking the same thing about Tad, LuvWinnie! He hasn't had a paying job since he worked with Liza at Chandler / "ColMar Enterprises", years ago! Even the PI work that he was doing recently seemed to be favors for other people - not paying jobs.

In the mean time, isn't it nice how JR has been spending so much time with the son that he so badly wanted to take away from Babe??? Every time we see him, he's off somewhere insulting someone or plotting and planning - not spending time with Adam III / James / Ace!

By the way..........is Sam sitting by himself, waiting at the airport right now? 2 days ago Brooke told Maria that she called a car to take her to the airport to meet him.......Maria said "thanks"........then proceeded to go 1) to the courthouse to see Zach's arraignment 2) to the jail to yell at Zach 3) to the police station to say "DID YOU KILL MY HUSBAND?".........but at no time did she take a break to stop at the airport to retrieve her grieving son.......whom she presumably hasn't seen since he "went to soccer camp" at the beginning of the summer, aged several years, then somehow wound up in an academic program in Europe!

 

[elgerber]

Eterna, that's it!!! LOL, how pathetic.

Is Tad somehow still getting money for the Orsini Vineyard? When he bought that house, he was an Orsini and loaded.

No one in that town ever works, or wears jeans LOL. I have always found that funny, that they don't wear jeans when they are just sitting around.

Good point about JR never being with his son, maybe Babe should throw that in his face next time he stalks her down.

 

[piratesmate]

AMC writers must be reading this thread! Jamie just told JR to get a job! And Stewart was on for about 3 seconds. I'll take what I can get.

I'm going out to fix computers this afternoon. Someone please let me know if it's even worth catching on SoapNet tonight? Ho-hum.

 

[luvwinnie]

Maria probably won't be able to recognize Sam when she DOES finally get to the airport!!!

 

[luvwinnie]

I have to laugh though at Jamie telling JR to get a job...has JAMIE been looking for one?

 

[sgtdisney]

Maria probably won't be able to recognize Sam when she DOES finally get to the airport!!!

Hey didn't you hear.. Shhhh.... They superaged Sam so much that they have actually kept John Callahan on contract and how he will play Sam, the splitting image of Deadmund. Pay no attention to the fact that Sam isn't blood related to Deadmund..... shhh

 

[luvwinnie]

sgtdisney...

Ever notice how the men usually have on jackets or at least long sleeves and the women parade around half naked all year long.

Even the ones with jobs like the Fusion girls never actually work. Maybe I need to go live in Pine Valley. You get to wear beautiful clothes, your children never cry, and you have all the money you need without ever going to a job. Plus all the men are gorgeous

 

[noseybuddy]

Yeah and did notice all the girls have nice arms to show off. Can tell they lift weights.

 

[PamOKW]

I saw tomorrow's clip with Maddie yelling at Maria. Come on....she goes from 6 to 16!!! If Mama Santos does show up she'll have a hear attack about the growth hormones her grandchildren are taking!
