All My Children Tribute Thread

I'm still hoping that will happen before AMC ends. Have Jenny return to convince Jesse to be honest about the baby, restore Angie's sight, and say goodbye to Greg.

I think they've already said goodbye. Greg just needs to move on and get laid already.

Y&R should let Peter Bergman go to AMC for a day or two to re-unite Cliff & Nina.

I wouldn't mind if Greg came back to Pine Valley with a new wife, to be honest. I love Greg and Jenny, but it's been nearly 30 years. To have everything he does on the show defined by the time he spent with her would just be sad and depressing, IMO (which is why I'm not a fan of ghost Dixie's appearances, even though that's substantially different because of the kids and it's more recent). Of course, I'm not saying completely ignore Jenny, but let that be a nice moment between Greg and Angie. "Sometimes I wonder how you got so lucky...you got Jesse back, and..." "And you're still waiting for Jenny." "Yeah. I love Trish, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but I can't help but wonder sometimes." Pause a few moments as they soak up the nighttime atmosphere (I almost said "as they stare into the sky," but...Angie). Angie: "She's happy for you, Greg." "I know. I know." One or two more moments, they hug, end scene.

The best soap couple ever. There story would seem quaint and ridiculous today where everything is ugly and over the top with conflict, but they are truly the gold standard and they most certainly are the biggest couple AMC ever produced. I think their photo was on the cover of SOW this week announcing AMC is canceled.

I just love all the sappy ghost stuff. I liked it when AW did that for Cass/Frankie (I think they did anyway). It would be a nice callback to history, as they were one of, if not the most, popular couple ever on AMC.

I wouldn't want her back in person at this point, partially because there have been too many back from the dead characters and partially because it's been so long since she died for the return to have a major impact, but she could come to him in a dream.

I love that idea and I agree that it's been too many years for Greg to have spent alone. It would be nice for him to return in the last week or two to meet Angie & Jesse's new daughter.

Speaking of Jenny... remember when Tad met her in heaven:

I loved that they brought Kim Delaney back during Tad's brush with death.

....and then Jesse

I think the audience imagined that.

[DRW50]

I didn't want her back from the dead either. I meant as a ghost.

Who were all the ghosts who ushered Gillian into heaven? This was were months after I started watching, so alllll of those people were strangers to me, but Jesse was the main one who kinda took Gillian under his wing.

Ugh. I hate back from the dead when it's obvious that the character is supposed to be really really dead. If Dixie were to come from the dead, you can sort of rationalize it by saying all of the ghost appearances were just figments of JR and Tad's imaginations. But what about Gillian meeting Jesse in heaven? Gillian was dead, she ain't had no imagination, and even if she did, she had absolutely no clue who Jesse was because she'd never met him or Angie, and he'd been "dead" nearly ten years before she even came to Pine Valley.

I'm just eternally grateful AMC's never had one of those stupid cartoonish "supervillains" who come back thanks to special powers, secret weapons, and mad scientists.

There's still 5 months left.
