Members Adam Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 Steve, all those storylines you mentioned remind us all of what a powerhouse of a soap All My Children used to be. I only wish I was alive when most of those aired. Agnes Nixon, I and every other AMC fan salute you. Most of if not all of those stories were penned by Ms. Nixon herself.
