I felt as if Maria took Brooke's storyline. I think Brooke was meant to be the one eventually moving into Wildwind and clashing with Erica under the same roof. But I guess if that had happened the Santos family would not have been fleshed out and we wouldn't have gotten Julia, Noah, Mateo, etc. and Hayley would not have married Mateo and Kelly Ripa would be hosting Live with someone else 😂

As I recall Maria was initially supposed to be a love interest for Trevor. Back in the day, I much preferred Brooke and Edmund over Maria and Edmund.

I actually find it easier to VPN and watch on Pluto TV Canada than to watch on BeondTV.

One nice touch is that between episodes, they’re sprinkling in archival AMC clips and actor soundbites. Just now there was a clip from a 1980s episode featuring Cliff and Nina’s wedding, plus Benny and Phoebe. Then there was a soundbite from Susan Lucci reflecting on Agnes Nixon’s writing.

I'm watching on Pluto right now and my gosh Arlene is horny for Alec. My gosh, get it together woman!

Reese and Zach never slept together. There was a kissing scene that was cut after word got out that the storyline was going in that direction. Then Julie Carruthers started gas lighting the fans saying it was all in our heads.

I've had issues too with getting logged out. I cleared my cache on Safari and it seems to be working now.

Thank you 😊

Eva edited her message to “in development” rather than “definitely happening.”

Eva don’t get my hopes up!

She's terrific! Yes, I got a photo with her. 😊

Susan Lucci is in Los Angeles right now. She appeared at the LA Times Festival of Books on Sunday, and today, Monday, she had an event at Barnes & Noble. Yes, I went to both because, you know, I’m a fan. 😆 She also stopped by the KTLA Morning News: https://ktla.com/video/susan-lucci-talks-all-my-children-outcome-and-her-new-book-la-lucci/11716646/ And she posted a really funny Instagram reel where she’s cleaning her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and even the stars of Celine Dion and of her on-screen son in Outcome, Keanu Reeves.

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.
