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

[JKanownik]

Has anyone seen the new Fusion products yet? I was at Walmart over the weekend and I came across some body spray and shimmer lotion. I tested the spray and it has a very fruity scent. Too fruity for my taste, but much better than the Enchanment scent they released a few years back. I was not a big fan. The shimmer lotion was pink and didn't smell as strong. It was something I would consider buying.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Christmas is right around the corner and this would make a great stocking stuffer.

 

[AllyandJack]

Have to agree Zach is about the only one holding my attention. I fast forward through all the Lavery stuff...blah blah blah...if I hear the word HOCKET one more time I will scream!!

Me, too with the "Hocket" thing. Enough already.

Who dresses Erin and why does this actress agree to wear that crap? They have really gone downhill in the wardrobe department. Since most of the storylines are either lame or predictible, the wardrobe really stands out.

First, Babe is in that peek-a-boo top with the obvious push-up bra exposed. Now, she's in the silly knit shrug.

I finally noticed JR's teeth. It looks like an Extreme Makeover gone wrong. I'd sue.

 

[IASW Rider]

I'm right with you, concerning the wardrobe on the show, recently - ESPECIALLY Erin's! It looks like she went back into her closet and pulled out clothes from elementary or high school in the 70's or 80's! And what's with Julia's weird hair style? She needs to change that, soon - she looks like a character from "Star Trek", or something!

I hope that Di and Julia take care of Garrett today, so that they can get back to town and reveal that Di is not Dixie, and move on from that storyline, already. (I still say that Lily is going to be the one to ultimately crack that case, somehow!)

And I agree with all of you - get rid of the Lavery's, but keep Greenlee!!!!!! She is worth more to the show than all 3 of them, put together!

Glad to hear that the new (real) Fusion products are superior to Enchantment! I'm surprised that they haven't been advertising the new Erica Kane doll, at the "halfway mark" of the show, yet!

It will be nice to see Kate Collins again, of course, but if they're bringing Janet back for a few episodes, I too wish that she would be played by Robin Mattson! I loved Kate as Natalie, but NO ONE played Janet like Robin!!

Dani is now officially a "WOMAN OF FUSION", appearing in the TV commercial, etc.? I guess she must have graduated from high school when we weren't looking!

 

[AllyandJack]

Dani graduated from high school on the same day Jamie graduated from medical school.

I'll miss Greenlee....I wish they would do more on her relationship with Erica. I always liked to see them be nice to each other, but not TOO nice, but like each other, but not TOO much. They had a great chemistry.

I only vaguely remember Kate Collins, so her being Janet won't really do it for me. Oh well....I wonder how they'll explain her face going back to the way it was.

I actually love Amanda's character and hope they develop it more.

I wonder if Anita and Zach are going to get together.....then Kendall will have to fight for her man.

 

[IASW Rider]

I can't see Anita and Zach together - he needs to be with a stronger character - I could actually see him with Julia more easily than with Anita! Of course, I'm still rooting for him getting together with Kendall "for real" (although I've always liked the chemistry between Kendall and JR - nice scenes, yesterday!).

Back to wardrobe..........Erin really needs to change her outfit, and what the heck has Babe been wearing, the past few days?

So glad that Julia got rid of "THE DRAGON" and that that part of the storyline is over! It was so chivalrous when Tad and Zach swept in to save Julia and Di! And so glad that Derek was there to see it all, so that he could report back to Mimi exactly what sort of sleaze she was actually married to! So glad that he won't be around to bother Dani any more, too.

I love how it JUST OCCURRED to Ryan that maybe Greenlee would feel that her life couldn't go on without him. Selfish jerk. Like he didn't think of this, before he faked his own death??? He's really making me mad, lately. I hope that Greenlee really gives it to him, when she finally finds out that he (and Jonathan) is alive!

 

[s&k'smom]

Anything good today. I work until 2pm now so I have to catch it on soapnet.

 

[MELSMICE]

I missed yesterday's episode when they found Julia & Di. I found it funny today that both Di & Julia were in the same clothes though - you go through this huge fight, shoot someone & then don't change your clothes - how about some nice cozy, comfy sweats.

As much as I love Adam & Crystal together I really enjoy seeing Brooke with Adam - she just keeps him so grounded.

And................who in the world is the hairdresser on the show lately. Julia's hair is awful, Babe's has been looking shaggy & some of the other ones aren't so great either.

I'm glad the Dragon storyline is over, but I have to say that I thought the actor that played Garrett was outstanding & that they could have done alot with him. It's too bad he didn't just play a sleeze that stayed on the show instead of having to kill him off.

From Soap Opera Weekly:

After months of speculation, inside sources confirm Rebecca Budig is quitting AMC. She'll be gone by the end of the year. "No Comment" responds an AMC rep. Budig's name was conspicuously absent from the list of actors attending this year's Super Soap Weekend. The omission was especially glaring because her husband, will host the weekend's "Super Soap Talk Show."

Budig told AMC she wanted to leave months ago, which gave them time to craft a story that would facilitate her exit. (Fury at Ryan for faking his own death, for starters.) AMC also brought back another fave from the past - Julia Santos, in hopes of filling the heroine hole that Greenlee will leave. There was talk of recasting the role, but speculation now is that AMC will bring back another popular character with major ties to Pine Valley (Bianca?, Hayley?). At press time Budig wasn't talking about her exit, but sources said she would be leaving soon.

I hate what they have done to Greenlee's charactor but I am very curious what they are gonna do with the baby that Kendall is having and her anger at Ryan for what he did.

 

[JKanownik]

I am wondering the same thing about the baby.

 

[grinningghost]

I had to skim over the thread real quick, as to avoid any spoilers, but I have to say, I just love Zach. He is getting more and more lovable everyday. The cigars were mucho cute.

 

[luvwinnie]

Please don't tell me that Greenlee is leaving and RYAN IS STAYING??

 

[Deb & Bill]

... There was talk of recasting the role, but speculation now is that AMC will bring back another popular character with major ties to Pine Valley (Bianca?, Hayley?). ...

Lynne

Kit, maybe???? Ohhh, you said a popular character.

 

[grinningghost]

Please don't tell me that Greenlee is leaving and RYAN IS STAYING??

I wish Ryan would go. He's become so annoying to me, I cringe everytime he's on. He's got to lighten up or SOMETHING soon. His bobble head and over-annunciated speaking drives me to drink.

 

[s&k'smom]

Yes it's true my friend, Greenlee bye bye, have a seat and stay a while Ryan. God JR's teeth are annoying it's all I can see when he's on the screen, besides that yesterday's episode was very good, the acting between Di and Tad was awesome.

 

[AllyandJack]

I hope they don't mean Janet....we already knew about that, so that doesn't count.

 

[Alicnwondrln]

Please don't tell me that Greenlee is leaving and RYAN IS STAYING??

[J.Cooper]

Finally some juice! see spoilers!!

SPOILERS

RYAN RETURNS TO GREENLEE!
Greenlee is stunned beyond belief when Ryan shows up at his own memorial service. She's overjoyed and they share a romantic and intimate reunion…until Ryan confesses to her that he faked his own death. She is so furious at his betrayal, that she keeps the secret from him about Kendall carrying his child. Meanwhile, Kendall throws Zach out after learning that he knew all along that Ryan was alive. She can't believe that she's now carrying someone's baby for a man who might not even want it. And JR learns that his mother is really dead. Will he ever forgive Di for pretending to be Dixie? And will Tad decide to love her or leave her?

 

[s&k'smom]

I hate to admit it but the Kendall/Zach triangle is intriguing.
