I think the Tad/Ted story as a whole wasn't looked upon favorably by anyone. Didn't Tad and Ted share similar memories of Ray Gardner (or someone wearing a gold watch) locking them inside the trunk of a car? What was that? What were Megan McTavish and her writers trying to say (since they seemed to make a point of saying the two were not related)? Either there was a point to it all and the show changed their minds or they deliberately muddled everything in order to keep up the mystery. Add to that Ted Orsini's basically skeevy disposition (er, what disposition that was there, I don't think there was much to Ted beyond being some ridiculous plot device) and the whole thing was bound to flop.

I just finished watching the last episode of All My Children - a very emotional time for me. I am so grateful to "The View" and ABC for their beautiful tribute show for All My Children and Agnes Nixon. And to Agnes and to ABC for the incredible opportunity to play the amazing Erica Kane. At the center of all my gratitude is you, the fans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being there for us, for spending all those days with us in Pine Valley and for bringing so much sunshine into my life.

Let's hope we all get to see more of Pine Valley and the beloved characters Agnes Nixon has created. Today's episode ended with quite a cliff hanger - and I really want to see what happens next!

"B" stands for ''Brian Frons''. Somebody killed him with mercy, and our dear Doc Hayward will bring him back so AMC fans can give him a more "proper" sendoff.

No?

Or, better yet, ''Barbara Walters''.

There's a reason she was absent from The View's AMC tribute!

Hello Everyone. New to this board. I've so many feelings about the end of AMC. I didn't want to watch because it was a number of emotions going on for me. I will miss the show so much. So many of the post I read were saying the very same things I was remembering. watching it with my Mom. Then with my daughter. Good memories. I don't like all of the changes to shows we all love so much. These story lines have meant so much to me and the actors are like family. I hope they all find new jobs as quickly as possible. Today, so many faces that made me smile and cry over these years. I was so glad to see Tad's parents standing beside him. I was going back in time and to the present show till I got dizzy. I really wish the fans could have changed the show closing somehow.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
