All My Children Week in Review: Week of December 13, 2010

Performer of the Week: We’re going to give this to Lindsay Hartley (Cara). This was her first full week as Jake’s ex, Cara, and she got a whopper of a scene to play: Jake realized that Cara’s reason for dissolving their marriage all those years ago (she claimed an affair with Griffin) was actually a lie, since Griffin was revealed to be her brother. When Jake called her on the REAL reason why she ditched him, Cara was forced to say she wanted out of the marriage. Normally, we’d want to smack Cara for hurting a good guy like Jake. But the pain on Cara’s face – not to mention the tears in her eyes – belied her explanation. Sadness, regret, guilt, embarrassment. Immediately we knew Cara was not one-note, and that’s thanks to Lindsay’s portrayal.

 

Runner up is Erica’s spider webby dress that had all those flesh colored patterns cut out of it.

 

Why We Love All My Children This Week: Annie trashed a room! She smashed a ornament! Looks like Miss mental instability is back – and we’re stoked.

 

What were your highlights (and lowlights)?

It is kendell who threw it all away!And then of course points blame at someone else!

Kendell at least has experienced having a great married life for some time and the joy of motherhood twice but she will always blame Greenlee and act like she knows nothing about loss! GET REAL KENDELL!

Yes Kendell takes and takes too like when she slept with Aiden and then with Ryan but everyone gives her a break because she lost Zach. Is she forgetting Greenlee lost Leo the love of her life back early on and is a very young widow herself! Get real people Greenlee deserves some happiness too! Kendell acted like Greenlee has never gone through anything she is selfish and manipulative as hell and cannot stay out of other peoples business even when she had it made her man and family its never enough for kendell she has to go for more! And no its not to help its her obsessive compulsive nature to always butt in where she dont belong!Greenlee started out in life with no love from a mother who was never there,who lied to her about her father and she did not know him till an adult,always shoved off to nannies and schools. Then Kendell lied and stopped her wedding to Ryan yrs ago, then Ryan faked dying and she lost him and miscarried her only chance ever at having Ryan or anyones baby! Then she lost her husband Leo to death after his nuttso mother Vanessa tried to kill her! Then she lost Spike who was supposed to be hers but again kendell took matters into her own hands and made it Ryan and her egg her baby after Zach caused the blackout ending any possibility that Greenlee would ever have Ryans biological child! Then kendell slept with Aiden and Ryan on her , and when Greenlee came back she had every right to feel the way she did. She was faced with Ryan having sleopt 1st with kendell , then erica, then Madison god so she made a bad choice and married David yes for revenge! Well hell after all she been through. IN a coma for a yr, maybe not being able to walk again ever and then all this too! Greenlee deserves some peace and happiness in life finally. I hate that Zach is gone and love both Kendell and Greenlee on the show but enough is enough! Ryan and Greenlee deserve to finally be happy and Greenlee by some miracle deserves to have his baby naturally not the simpering lil fool Madison!

Totally agree Griffon is no answer to the loss of Thorsten Kaye and neither is the new Rev. or Cara. Axe em all and give Thorsten the additional salary to get him back even if its part time! God we would give up like 8 expendables on this show for 1 Thorsten Kaye as Zach!

You do not watch the show too closely do you! IT was proven that Greenlee did not cause Spikes hearing loss at all! It was genetic! God peeps love to blame Greenlee or Ryan for everything!And yes Kendell did try to give Gl Ryans baby but when the blackout happened that Zach caused she took it upon herself to use her own egg making it her and Ryans child!She also decided to keep that child for herself and not give it to Greenlee and Ryan as promised. She also slept with Aiden who Greenlee was engaged to at time when they were trapped in bomb shelter and Greenlee did not sleep with her man Zach! She also bedded Ryan again 1 week after Greenlee supposedly died! Kendell is extremely thoughtless and selfish and would always justify it to Zach as this is just me! She is no better or kinder than Greenlee in any way!Greenlee does things out of extreme hurt and kendell too sometimes but sometimes its just Kendell butting in on everyones lives. She is compulsive at this and cannot stop!She also lied yrs ago and locked Greenlee up to keep her from Ryan knowing this was the only way to trap Ryan that he loved Greenlee and in time Greenlee got out then the pool fight and Ryan choosing Greenlee over ALL KENDELLS LYING AND MANIPULATIONS! Kendell is no saint! But they are great as best friends and need to get back to that because in spite of all they have done to each other they are great together!

I think Zach should come back for Xmas and say he was not on the plane. Don't put Kendall with Griffin. We just went through a trial (too long) with Greenlee now we have to do it with Erica! Now Ryan has 3 kids with 3 different woman. I am sick of Ryan and Greenlee. Maybe David will wake up and be a new man and think he is married to Greenlee. Ryan should find out that Madison is pg.

And another thing, whats all this about Ryan being so hated? What the heck has Ryan done to be THAT hated. Look at all the sh** that David Hayward has done and all the lives that he has ruined, oh no, no one mentions any of this. To tell you the truth, I know this is TV and yes it is fake, and I don't know why I watch these shows either, because there is enough drama in real life. But come on, who in there right mind would root for someone like Hayward anyway? I sure wouldn't want to root for a person like that in real life, I mean, come on.

Here's to those who don't like the comments...DON'T READ THE COMMENTS, THEN! Just sayin'

Highlight: Angela Hubbard was let out the Martin Attic.
Lowlight: Madison being tracked down by Frankie and Randi.
Randi getting kudos from Greens for all her hard work but Randi's fans don't get to see that on screen.

Writers, you are missing the boat when it comes to Frankie and Randi. They need their own storyline. Madison is a big girl who can stand on her own. Remember, she offed her husband and didn't miss any sleep.

Kendall GET OVER YOURSELF!!! You sent Zack to Help. Madison GET A LIFE!!! Your motives for allying with Kendall are not as PURE as you may be trying to portray. So far I see absolutley NO CHEMISTRY between DR. C & Kendall.
