I scrolled down as fast as I could to avoid seeing any spoilers. I just wanted to say how sad I was unable to take part in the last, network live thread of All My Children :( Work and school has prevented me from watching the last 3 days live, hope to see them by weekend's end. I hope with the end of this show, all of the posters I've come to admire and love over the years here don't gradually start fading away. I am going to make a concerted effort to not let myself fade away. I am sure there will always be something new to discuss with the PP thing still so up in the air. This does not feel real.

Hey everybody!

I just wanted to say, first off, how sad I was not to be able to post live with you all this one last time. This morning, I had to have minor surgery on my jaw. However, I was home by around 12:30. I watched the show live, but was so groggy that I couldn't really hold the computer very easily.

I enjoyed the finale quite a bit. However, it seemed so fast paced. I wish it had been a two-hour show. The highlights for me were Erica saying "Pine Valley has come a long way, but it still isn't the corner of Hollywood and Vine", Adam's proposal to Brooke, and Stuart/Marian's reunion. I wish we had gotten two hours so that the FIRST hour could have been spent with David/Jesse/Angie, JR/Jamie/Tadd/Dixie, Stuart/Marian, etc. and the second hour be solely dedicated to the Chandler Mansion party.

It was wonderful to see Winifred again. I didn't know that was happening!

As for the cliffhanger - I enjoyed it. Was it what I expected? No. However, it does leave me very curious to see the first online episode of .comAMC. I think, overall, this was a strong finale. Stronger than GL/ATWT got. I just wish it had been longer.

My thoughts about today:

1) I'm glad Jerica is FINALLY OVER, but jack is going to feel like crap if erica gets shot. His last words to her "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn what you need." I have a feeling thats going to come back to haunt him.

2) So obviously jr is going to be recasted due to the ending, really feel that JY should of stayed with amc.

3)This really should of been a two hour episode, I wish the party was longer.

4)Please susan lucci come on back to online amc, we need you.

5) Loved Adam/Brooke engagement moment

6) Loved the flashbacks at the beginning, and the kids reciting the amc poem

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        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.
