All My Children Tribute Thread

[Soaplovers]

I remember there were some episodes shared during that era where Devon was trying to be a wife to Wally, who was basically checked out of their marriage due to his feelings for Betsy.   And Devon confronted Betsy while I was sitting there thinking 'This story was never mentioned in any AMC history books'... but at least Devon/Wally's arc was mentioned while Betsy was never mentioned at all.

Although I was also surprised that Betsy was buddies with Sybil Thorne.  Two characters so different from one another being friends was fascinating to me.

Without a doubt!

Oh, I loved them. The kind of friendships that are so true to life.

No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[Wendy]

Thank you!

Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.

[Franko]

Excellent! The OLTL-GH promo places this and the RH episode (which I assume aired directly before this AMC) as airing during the week of Aug. 20.

This is so great, thanks for sharing!!!  Ahh, this must have been right after Jenny died. The flashback montage with Jesse/Jenny was very sweet. I remember my mom saying she was always devastated when Jenny died.

[AMCOLTLLover]

Great upload and thanks for including me!

aww the montage

That was such a moving little surprise. I remember reading some comments over the years about why the show never paired them up, but even beyond the clear reasons why, I kind of prefer it this way. I'm so glad their friendship was remembered and seen as meaningful by the show. 

Jenny's death is one of the few of a major character that stuck. The impact was never what it should have been because Greg stopped being a major character not long after her death, but it still shows the strength you can have on a soap if you allow a character who meant a lot to so many (characters and fans) to stay dead.

@DRW50 Thanks for the tag. Amazing find. I am with you on Jenny's impact, I also think it would have made a fascinating watch as Greg stayed around much longer. I'm such a softie for anything Jesse/Jenny related. Remember, someone posted his touching Eulogy at her funeral a few years ago.

Thank you!
