Every day ❤️

Love it @Cheap21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy National Erica Day!

Oh wow! Thanks!

I do wonder how people would have felt if Matt had stayed as Brian for the Dixie/Brian story. The recast allowed them to just make him a brand new character. I really enjoyed Matt Borlenghi's portrayal of Brian Bodine, especially because I loved the dynamic between Hayley and Brian as star-crossed lovers and high school sweethearts. When Mateo arrived in Pine Valley, it took me some time to adjust and accept Hayley with someone else. (I never cared much for Hayley and Charlie Brent, the guy she lost her virginity to—LOL!)

Thanks for the heads up @SFK!

I completely agree with you. Lorraine Broderick did bring many characters back from the dead toward the end to wrap things up, but it worked. She managed to re-balance the show in its final months, making it more enjoyable. For once, I didn’t feel like vomiting every time the “fab four” – Greenlee, Ryan, Kendall, and Zach – were on screen. Broderick created a better balance among all the characters.

All this Rebecca Budig talk has me remembering an article (pretty sure it was in Soap Opera Digest) for All My Children's 40th anniversary. They asked Agnes Nixon to name her top 5 AMC characters, and one of them was Greenlee. I was like, "Wait, what?" I know Agnes created the character, but by then, Greenlee was so overexposed and retconned. It felt like Brian Frons must’ve forced poor Agnes to say Greenlee at gunpoint or something! Does anyone else remember this article? I'd love to re-read it!

Happy Birthday, Susan! You've been on Santa's nice list all year. Wishing you all the joy and surprises you’re hoping for!

100%

Oh my, another post on Lipstick Alley mentioned that Frons and Rebecca Budig dated briefly. So gross. Now it all make sense. To be honest, I never understood the hype around Rebecca Budig throughout her entire run, even with her brief absences. Her acting never resonated with me—it felt underwhelming. Sure, she plays a good "mean girl," but so do countless other actresses. When her character was retconned to be Jack's daughter, it only made me dislike Rebecca's acting even more.

Wow. Thanks for sharing the Greenleetea@NothinButAttitude

She looks amazing as always! https://www.instagram.com/p/DDjCGrhs5HP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Wisner Washam is probably the best head writer All My Children had whose name wasn't Agnes or Lorraine.

Kelly, Mark, and Ben Stiller reminisce about Ben's mom Anne Meara who played Peggy Moody on All My Children.

I love that they added Lorraine Broderick. Should be a fun conversation.

Me likey.

I don't think it was ever meant for a 2024 launch. Maybe 2025 if we're lucky.

LOL. Hope she doesn't go stealing any babies.

Oh, I interpreted it as Andy thinking that Lacey played Kendall. I also think Lacey couldn't recall Bianca's name.

Lacey Chabert talks about playing Bianca.

I really like that we have the chance to get in on the ground floor with Beyond the Gates — something soap fans haven’t had in decades. I gave it a shot with Sunset Beach, Passions, and Port Charles, but my interest eventually faded, and I just stuck with my old faithful, All My Children. I’m really hoping BTG takes off.

I tuned in for a brief moment and saw Greenlee straddling Zach, both of them sobbing like they’d just shared an emotional, non-penetrative climax. It was... a lot to process.

Good guess. If the line in the script about smoking or non-smoking is correct, then the person in question would have been one of Susan Lucci's co-stars between 1988 (when smoking was banned on domestic flights) and 2000 (when the ban extended to all domestic and international flights).

It's truly sad news. I wasn't an avid viewer of DAYS, but I certainly knew of Drake Hogestyn and his iconic role as John Black. He was a soap legend, and when legends pass away, it's like a piece of television history fades with them. His impact on the genre will always be remembered. My heartfelt thoughts are with his family, friends, and all the DAYS fans.
