All My Children Sneak Peek: Week of 1/31/11

This is a huge, huge week for Kendall. First, she remembers that she shot David. As if that's not an unpleasant enough surprise, she also collapses and is going to die unless she gets to the hospital. Which would be made much, much easier if she -- along with a bunch of other characters -- didn't get involved in a huge accident. Who's going to come out of this one still breathing?

 

Across town, JR becomes aware that Annie faked that burglary weeks ago and that SHE was the one that knocked Marissa out. Backed into a corner, Annie starts to get desperate. She takes Colby hostage -- and that's just the beginning of the trouble she causes this week (yes, seriously, she does more).

 

Jack is not thrilled when he catches Caleb and Erica in an embrace together. Jack wants to know why Erica's not turning to him with all this Kendall stress (us, too).

 

Madison's baby bump is showing, so you can bet that Greenlee ups the pressure on Scott to woo her. But might Scott be falling for Lady M?

 

Plus the whole "should Brot or Natalia" get fired decision is reached, David's good luck streak may be up and Cara wants in on Tad's business.

 

Looking ahead to Feburary, expect lots of big dramz in Pine Valley:

 

*David may have found just the means to avoid jail time that he needs
*Ryan and Greenlee's wedding day arrives, but when Madison's pregnancy is exposed, will it put a hamper on things?
*Annie goes from bad to worse. And starts claiming victims
*Someone in Pine Valley is not who they seem
*Wedding bells will ring for a PV duo. Hint: The bride's last name is not Smythe.

 

What do you think about the events to come this week? What would you like to see? Sound off below!

Do these writers have any ability to write a story that isn't strictly about plot...and, you know, INTERESTING? I ask this as a huge Kendall fan...because, I don't find it interesting for Kendall to have a WEEKLY life/death crisis. Is that even a story? Or is it simply used to give Dr. Abs a reason to "get to know" Kendall? Then of course, it has to happen again for the redemption of David...then again, so Dr. Abs can be her hero...and while they are at it, throw in a car accident to further the "Annie is crazy" story and really, REALLY stress the life/death situation that Kendall is in...AGAIN! Ummm...what part of this is about the character of Kendall? Just because she is in the scene...doesn't translate to it being about the CHARACTER of Kendall Hart Slater. Kendall is a strong, vibrant woman. She has lost the love of her life. How about showing a strong, vibrant woman transitioning into being a single mother, who runs a business? How about a woman who takes the lead in finding out who killed her soulmate...and will not be stopped until she knows the truth. This show desperately needs that "truth" to be an alive TK/Zach...AMC is in desperate need for the actor/character and the couple of Zendall. It would give AMC instant romance, which is so desperately lacking, it is basically non-existent. It wouldn't have to be contrived or forced...it is right there for the viewing. TK offers a depth and layers to the character of Zach...that is rare and also non-existent on AMC since TK left.

I have been watching the clips of shows to be aired, and why is the cardiac doctor driving the ambulance that is taking Kendall somewhere to be saved? Ever heard of a helicopter? He probably would fly that too! Is Jake the only doctor in Pine Valley? He is always on call, and treating all emergencies, and still has time to run the hospital in Angie's absence. Let's at least have pretend doctors in the background. And the scene with Ryan taking David was ridiculous. How come everyone is using cell phones in the hospitals. I am so tired of seeing all these car accidents in all the soaps. It gets boring after you see it more than 20 times.

I really think it sucks what Ryan did to David. Ryan is a cold character. I think that David is going to turn around the be a better person. Ryan is still a sleeze! But him and Greenlee make a good couple, they're both sleeze bags. I am looking forward to this big drama where Kendall's life is on the line and Griff has to save her life. It's going to come out that he's in love with her, obviously, because she's the only patient he has that he puts so much importance on. How many doctors do you know that will show up at your place of business to make sure you're okay. Enough said. But I really think it's sad that they're making Annie crazy again. She was doing good until all of this Marissa stuff happened. I know she's leaving, why send her off in a bad way, I am NOT on board with this storyline AT ALL!

I also wish they would bring back Thorsten Kaye. Kendal and Zac are true soap couples that were meant to be always only you..
This thing with Annie is so annoying. She is so much better as a good person not crazy. It's tiring to watch her being crazy. Also Greenly all worried about Madision is so stupid she is so much stronger than that. M should not be a threat to her and Ryan..

I am totally bored with the show. I am sick of Kendall's health problems being used over and over to contrive a connection between her and that control freak of a doctor. Using a character like Kendall to carry the weight of a newbie, who has no other connection to her other than that he is her doctor and wasting the talents of an actress of Alicia 's caliber on such a ridiculously contrived s/l is a crying shame and mind boggling to boot. Kendall has the potential of carrying a s/l by herself as a single mother/business woman struggling to get back her life after losing Zach, her husband, the love of her life. She doesn't need an albatross such as Griffen around her neck, just to satisfy a stupid HW's agenda to pair her with a character/actor, who she has absolutely no chemistry with and whose scenes together are awkward and look forced.

I agree with all who have expressed a desire to see widow Slater start to investigate Zach's death and begin to believe that he may be alive and to start searching for him with the help of Tad and Jesse. Thorsten Kaye's return to AMC would revitalize the show and a s/l such as outlined above would make the show worth watching again.

I have never missed Zach more than reading AMC's plans for February sweeps.

Rather than unnecessary health problems for an unpopular purpose, Kendall needs to start investigating Zach's plane crash, leading to the resolution that her soulmate is alive! Please bring back fan favorites Thorsten Kaye, Zach Slater and Zendall!

Mon, Jan 31 - 1:27 pm

I miss Thorsten Kaye dearly! Before it's too late, please work out an arrangement allowing Mr. Kaye to return! Alicia Minshew is my favorite daytime actress and I very much enjoy feisty, protective Kendall Slater. Giving Mrs. Slater ongoing health issues is not what I want to see, but rather Kendall searching for her husband. Finding Zach alive, allowing Team Slater to continue their journey together!

I'm so tired of Kendall being in jeopardy--especially health jeopardy. Hasn't this woman been thru enough? Kendall is basically a strong, feisty, take no prisoners woman. She should be the one investigating Zach's death, while dealing with grief, running her business and raising her boys. I have no doubt Kendall could multi-task. She doesn't need a man every minute--and certainly not Griffin who is in no way her match. Then maybe while Kendall was doing all these other things, you could be working toward bringing Zach/TK back--so that she will be free of romantic entanglements and ready to receive her husband and soulmate--and they can embark on fabulous new adventures together. And, yes, leave Jerica together. They need to be adults. Make them the new Joe and Ruth and let them be strong stabilizing forces for their family. This show could use some adults and a whole lot less silliness--and boredom!

Mon, Jan 31 - 1:08 pm

PLEASE give me my Jerica back.

AMC is so boring. Please can we get Kendall away from the creepy doctor to have her start investigating Zach's plane crash. Please bring Thorsten Kaye back as Zach Slater to reunite Zach and Kendall Slater.
