Is Ryan Losing Annie?

You can’t call Kendall and Greenlee quitters, especially not after they try once more to recapture their former friendship on Thursday, June 21. Zach’s not quite as forgiving as his wife, though, and keeps Greens in his suspicious sights on Monday, June 25. Meanwhile, although Jack’s not fooled by Erica’s latest plea for attention on Wednesday, June 27, his recently returned stepdaughter takes pleasure in teasing a jealous Annie on Thursday, June 28. The sad thing is, Emma’s gullible mom takes the bait and jumps to the wrong

conclusion about Ryan on Friday, June 29!

On Friday, June 22, it begins to appear that JR’s lies could financially ruin his father, which is glorious news to at least one person’s ears on Tuesday, June 26.

In Depth Story

Pine Valley: The Peaceful Place To Live?

ALL MY CHILDREN executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers weighs in on why Pine Valley folk are lovers, not fighters! The In Depth Story: GH’s Sonny and Jason are just as likely to shoot a gun as shake someone’s hand. ONE LIFE TO LIVE’s Christian has been bloodied nearly as many times outside the boxing ring as inside. But when was the last time someone started a fight in Pine Valley? You may have noticed that, compared to its sister

soaps, AMC has a relatively low level of on-screen violence. By staying true to creator Agnes Nixon’s original vision, Carruthers says, the writing staff keeps the carnage on an emotional level. “It’s not consciously that we try not to do violence. It’s more that there’s so much real-life drama to I come out of interpersonal relationships and real-life events,” she says. Even inherently sadistic plots, like the recent Satin Slayer killing spree, tend to be talked about rather than seen. ‘The reality was that it was an emotional journey for Zach and all the people of Pine Valley, obviously on different levels, but it took them to truths and situations that they had to deal with,” notes Carruthers. “For this show, I think that’s much more interesting than dealing with the actual violence and aftermath.”

Amanda & JR Are Kidnapped!

A fake kidnapping plot reveals some true feelings this week on ALL MY CHILDREN. But will the heightened emotions remain after the crisis is resolved?

Amanda Figures It Out!

Though Amanda is desperate to escape from the people who have seemingly kidnapped her and JR, young Chandler discourages her from doing so. But Ms. Dillon is no fool, and it’s not long before she’s gotten him to admit that he was behind the abduction plot! As Amanda unleashes her anger on JR, he lets her in on his plan: He’s going to use the fake ransom to swindle Adam out of all of his money! The brunette suddenly switches gears and says she wants to be part of the plan, and the cunning cons have sex!

Zach’s One Step Ahead!

A distraught Adam asks Zach to help him raise the ransom money. The Cambias chief agrees but demands all of Adam’s stock holdings as collateral. Then Slater, well versed in the art of the double-cross, hires JR’s kidnappers so he’ll get his money back when the cash comes in. In addition, Zach will then receive Adam’s shares when the silver-haired CEO can’t repay the loan! At Stuarts urging, Krystal reaches out to her estranged husband, who seems poised to let her get close but then thinks better of it and pushes her away. However, as the hours pass and JR is still missing, Adam borrows emotional strength from the former love of his life.

Father And Child Reunion

Elsewhere, JR and Amanda realize that they’ve been cheated out of the ransom and that, with JR’s cell phone broken, they’re

trapped! With nothing to do but talk, Amanda realizes that jR really staged the kidnapping because he wants proof that Adam still cares about him. Just then, off a tip from Zach, a relieved Adam finds his missing son and pulls him into a powerful hug. The chagrined Chandler heir feels bad about setting up the entire situation — and losing his dad’s fortune to boot — so he keeps his involvement a secret and instead vows to get the money back. Meanwhile, Zach is rich in both knowledge and stock as Adam’s fortune comes his way. But how long will the peace last once the elder Chandler learns that his prodigal son isn’t’ as innocent as he seems?

Remote Patrol – SID Editor’s opinion:

They’re Grrrrrrreat!

Conventional wisdom says that soap couples get boring the minute rings are exchanged. Well, leave it to the Slaters to ignore that notion! Maybe it’s their backwards romantic history, maybe it’s just serendipitous paring of the charismatic Alicia Minshew and Thorsten Kaye, but we never get tired watching the ever-evolving Kendall and Zach go about their lives. The casino owner actually purrs like a tamed tiger whenever Kendall teases him, turns him on or tries his patience. Heck, if we had a dime fro every well-timed, deep-throated rumble from Mr. Slater, well let’s just say we’d be spending the summer in Capri instead of in front of our computers!

Yes Julie. I am sure Agnes' original vision called for Dr. Madden to be buried alive by one of Pine Valley's staple characters, Tad Martin.

This woman needs to STFU! She's just as bad as Megan McTavish. Its all just lip service.

    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
    • 1980/81 Dallas was a killer show. 18/23 episodes finished #1 and the remaining five finished 2nd.

    • Going by ratings, I'd say 1982. June 8, 1981 to October 5, 1984 Ryan's Hope time slot rival was Y&R. Ryan's Hope was competitive vs. Y&R until June 1982. Remainder of 1982 Ryan's Hope falls and Y&R rebounds from their post-expansion slump. 1983 Y&R blew up and we know the rest.
    • An early TV role for Carolyn Groves, the Victoria recast we deserved.
