All My Children Week in Review: Week of 11/29/10

Funniest Moment: We're hard pressed on this one. It was a great week, but a dramatic week [admittedly, what week on this show isn't dramatic?]. That all said, the only thing that made us chuckle was Colby's totally obvious discomfort at a shirtless Asher walking around. Awkward, but amusing.

 

WTH? Moment: Two things jumped out at us this week. First, why was Spike's Thanksgiving pageant being held at a bar? We love ConFusion, but since when does it double as the school auditorium?

 

Second, what's up with Ryan's magical bullet? He mistakenly fires a gun from a roof, and it ends up hitting Madison a couple hundred feet below? We love how the laws of physics work in Pine Valley.

 

Performer of the Week: Alicia Minshew, without a doubt. While everyone was on top of their game following Zach's death, Alicia really delivered. How heartbreaking was it watching Kendall try to explain Zach's death to Spike? Or cry to Greenlee? Or say goodbye to Zach at the ocean? Amazing.

I apologize if this sends anyone over the edge, but I am SO tired of Kendall/Zach and Greenlee/Ryan, that I record and fast forward through scenes involving any one of them. It is true, however, that both Alicia and Rebecca have grown as actresses, during their stint on AMC. For my money, though, Rebecca should join the Ice Capades, and Alicia could go back to being a stay-at-home mom. Thorson can stay "dead", just as Ryan should have, all those years ago.

Time to move on.

I am not your typical soap opera demographic. I am a 68 year old guy who has been an AMC viewer for over ten years. I just thought that Kendall’s performance this past week was one of the saddest events EVER! It made me cry more than once. My heart went out to Kendall and I do think that Alicia Minshew showed her acting ability and it was flawless. I see an Emmy in her future.

Zach is not dead. He's just pulling a "Jessie". He wants to protect his family so he is pretending to be dead (let's just hope he doesn't wait 20 years before he comes back). I'm sure he wasn't in the airplane and the pilot probably bailed out right before it blew up. He will be back when it is safe for the family, (but Kendall will probably move on by then!) I'm also wondering if his cell phone blew up or was in the water, could Kendall get his cell phone message?

I don't think zach is dead, I think someone was after him and he made it look like he died in that explosion to protect his family. He was acting really weird over the whole casino deal. He will be back!!

Jazzy . . . you are wrong about that. TK does not want to MOVE to CA, but he would have worked something out to comuute. TIIC didn't think he was needed so they didn't work hard enough to keep him. I think it is a mistake they can correct. Get Thorsten Kaye back . . . SOON!!

What's going on? It's as though the Hubbard family has disappeared off the face of the earth. More specifically, I miss Frankie and Randi and want to see more of them together. I'm excited at the possibility of them starting a family. Their career vs baby storyline should be explored to the fullest with the end result being a successful navigation of their careers and newborn baby. Frankie doting on pregnant Randi will be too cute.

Bring Zach back! Poor Kendall. He was the love of your life and now he's gone. It just goes to show how some people destroy the lives of others to get what they want. David Hayward, you scum of the earth. Makes me sick, just the sight of you, Hayward! Greenlee will always be greatful for David bringing her back, but come on? To do all the coniving, manipulating, and all the blackmail! You really did it this time, Hayward! Good job Erica for shooting that smug bas**** and saving Ryan from him! Leave Erica alone, she has enough to deal with. David deserved what he just got! Asher, listen to what Caleb has to say, he is your father. Damon and Colby belong together.
