http://sn.soapnet.go.com/galleries/best-of-decade-all-my-children?page=19 Some interesting choices--loved that they brought up Dog Boy but wasn't Leo created in '99?

I don't miss Brooke at all. Like everything in Pine Valley, the Who Killed Michael story went on way to long.

I miss Brooke

Yes the Michael story did but compared to the other mysteries this decade...

Silly me, I thought they were doing a marathon to coincide with AMC's move to LA and its upcoming anniversary

LOL of course not

Same here. Not that there was a whole lotta "best" for this decade, but I wouldn't have minded seeing some episodes from 2000-2005.

I pretty much agree with their choices..... except maybe giving props to Fusion.

But we have to remember these are for the last decade (which wasn't great to begin with). It's not like these are picks from 1970 - the present.

BTW, I totally love that pic of Janet. LOL

I was surprised they left out the story about Bianca's baby.

I guess this tells us Bianca probably is gone for good, aside from a brief spot here and there, perhaps. That they ignored the whole thing entirely.

I do find it funny that they heap such praise on Carmen when she didn't even get an exit, did she? Kind of a poke at AMC, probably not intentional.

I agree with some of their choices. I don't really agree with Leo and Greenlee as "fun couple." They had some banter before they got together, but the rest was Leo telling her to grow up, and by the end, endless loops of "PARIS PARIS I WANT TO GO TO PARIS!!!" and "I HATE YOUR FAMILY, THEY'RE EVIL, ME ME ME, NOT FAMILY, ME!!!"

weird, must have missed this. Yeah, I guess it was the best story of the decade for AMC. I don't know that I was rooting for Babe all that much, but that story had some great aspects to it, and some really great moments. I loved Erica saying she doesn't need DNA because she has K-A-N-E, and Asa wanting to smack JR was great. I loved Asa, he was so unique. I liked Vanessa, and Marj Dusay is a daytime gem. I know I am probably in a minority of one, but I would have found someway to include Josh finding out Erica was his mother in there somewhere. That episode where it was all at the nightclub and someone broadcast the info over the loudspeaker and it all went into slow motion was really excellent.

That "someone" was JR. After Josh did some disgusting dip in a kiddie pool with that whorebag Babe.

I kind of wish they prolonged the baby switch story, not just for a few more months, but actually years. To have Little Adam raised in Llanview for a few years and then have Babe raise Miranda for a few years, I think the payoff would've been even greater.

Soaps don't really plant seeds like this and revisit it down the road. The last time I remember this happening is when Stuart pretended to be Adam during the divorce hearing with Erica. Years later, they revisited that when Adam threatened to go public that Bianca was an illegitimate child (!) and refused to give Erica a real divorce because he fell in love with her again.

While I hated the idea of Bianca being raped and a baby switch thereafter, the actors/writing was outstanding and the story kept me hooked from beginning to end.

ITA about JErica's wedding. It was the best wedding, EVER, and worth the wait. I loved how they did it in Florida with only their family around them. We need this back, IMO

No it wouldn't have been. Eden Riegel chose to bolt, which is why it was sped up. Even if she left without Bianca getting back Miranda, it still would've been a shtty pay off because it would've had to have been squeezed in to one of Eden's 13 minute returns.
