I would love to see the second half of this episode from May 1, 1980.

Thank you for letting me know. What a treat to see!

Not bringing back Paul Martin was a missed opportunity. I’ve always felt that in the 2000s, All My Children should have invested more in developing its original families, especially the Martins and the Tylers. As the show went on, it started drifting away from those families, and I think that was a mistake because they helped define the identity of Pine Valley. When a soap loses sight of the families that gave it its foundation, it can start to feel less rooted and less cohesive. Bringing Paul back, and putting more focus on the Martins and Tylers overall, could have helped preserve that sense of history and continuity.

Paul Martin is Joe’s brother. I always thought it was a shame the show didn’t bring this character back in the 2000s to beef up the Martin clan.

I don't think that was Susan's house. The decor is not really her style. LOL.

OMG. We discussed this a year ago. 😂 This was soft core porn.

Yes, really interesting how she dances around not mentioning Susan but instead mentions Erica Kane. 😂 Also, side note, Sarah's voice is really deep. It sort of sounds like Savannah Guthrie's voice before she had the vocal cord surgery. I hope Sarah is ok or maybe just had a cold.

I agree. Matt Bomer is great. Deadline also has a positive review of Susan Lucci's performance. The real scene-stealer is Lucci, who plays the mom yearning for her own corner of the fame game and really socks it to her son in a sharply played scene that remains best-in-show here. https://deadline.com/2026/04/outcome-review-keanu-reeves-star-canceled-jonah-hill-satire-1236785419/

The cast of Outcome play Pictionary. Featuring Susan Lucci and Matt Bomer.

Just watched it. Susan Lucci is terrific in it. Love to see her in this dark comedy.

Susan is listed fifth in the opening credits, after Matt Bomer. Amazing.

Slightly off topic, but I hate Keanu's shoes. He wore those damn shoes all day yesterday on every talk show with different outfits.

Keanu Reeves talks about working with Susan Lucci.

Susan Lucci at 'Outcome' Premiere in NYC!

Susan Lucci is a movie star! 🤩

This is in reference to Nathalie Paulding, not Eden Riegel.

I agree!

On All My Children, Dr. Joe revealed to Jack that he had a heart condition (I believe in a Friday cliffhanger), then it was never discussed again.

Perfect time for a reboot, or two Lifetime movies 😛

These changes are interesting. I'm intrigued about the nominees for writing and directing, where it seems like multiple episodes can now be under consideration for each show. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/daytime-emmys-rule-changes-date-category-eliminated-2026-1236693065/

So funny to see Susan Lucci and Sarah Michelle Gellar each having their own People magazine cover within weeks of each other.

Where is Susan Lucci now? Well, she's playing Keanu Reeves's mom in the Apple Original, "Outcome." 👏

Susan Lucci playing Keanu Reeves's mom. I cannot wait for this!
