All My Children Week in Review: Week of January 3, 2011
Funniest Moment: Not a really gut busting week, although we chuckled when Scott - A CONVICTED FELON FOR CORPORATE ESPIONAGE – asked Ryan for a job. I mean, for real?
Performer of the Week: This goes to Susan Lucci, hands down. Monday’s episode – where Erica espoused on her fears in a letter to her mother, kissed Caleb, AND let Kendall know how difficult being the family caretaker is amidst a constant battle for sobriety – let Susan show her true range. Erica is such a force of nature and makes caring for everyone (while wearing great clothes) look so easy. But we often forget SHE’S going through her own things, let alone an addict in recovery. Susan played it all to perfection.
Second runner up is Finn Wittrock, who really brought it when Damon confronted Colby over her kiss with Asher. He looked just DEVASTATED. We wanted to give him a huge (not in a Liza Colby way, though)
Best Moment: This may be a point of contention, but we loved it when Erica took a swig of wine amidst her rant to Kendall about how badly she sometimes wants to drink. It made us gasp – so right there, that says something. But it was a bold and unexpected choice, and we love that.
WTH? Moment: Damon and Liza making out? “I wish I could make it better,” Liza told a devastated Damon, who was reeling off Colby kissing Asher. Well, Liza, responding to your daughter’s boyfriend’s kiss is probably not the way to do it.
Why We Love All My Children This Week: Damon and Liza making out! Yes, it’s totally insane but you guys! Think about it! This is going to cause so much drama for everyone- Colby, Liza, Asher, Tad, Damon, JR, etc. Everyone’s going to have an opinion on this and they’ll probably be lots of fighting. Therefore, it’s awesome.

DO NOT make damon another tad by romance with daughter and mom.
I started watching Monday's show, and I haven't watched AMC in ages, because I wanted to see the Mona part. I loved it. I thought SL did a great job and I loved her words to her mom as we saw Bianca/Kendall and Jackson. Anytime that loser Cooney comes on I FF and the idea of Erica even telling mom about this mountain loser who abused her and frankly, is such a bore, makes me cringe. Mona would not have been a fan. Erica clearly tells her mom she loves Jack and Mona would be happy and then 20 minutes later, is swapping spit with the back-stabbing pig, while her daughter lies unconcious a floor below and her fiance' and other child, worried sick about both of them. That scene on the roof ruined the entire episode and so is this fixation AMC has with pairing this UNAPPEALING couple. GIVE US JERICA like we want and we'll be back. Until then, enjoy last place.
I totally loved it! I mean what a way to mix it up. Afterall this is daytime drama right! and I absolutley love love love Asher and Colby together. Although I want Asher away from JR AND with his father. I love Caleb! Not an Erica fan. Ummm I so hope you are going where I think you with the new gorgeous new doc and kendall!
Erica was awesome this week and she just proved (once again) on Monday why she is STILL the Reigning Original DIVA! I Loved how the show was done with Erica writing a letter to Mona about the things currently going on in her life. Bravo writers! I also just Loved the way the writers handled the conversation between Frankie and Greenlee because it put to rest that Ridiculous theory that Frankie may have fathered Madison's baby. Frankie saw through Greenlee right away and he told her in No Uncertain terms too. I do love Greenlee but she deserved Everything she got Including the "Shot" of Reality! LOL! Again, Thank You and Bravo Writers!
ICAM. Erica is so conceited and self centered. Her acting is still so bad, the way she always flips her hands as if to push someone away and flings her arms. She was supposed to comfort Kendall; but instead she made it all about her. Her issue does not compare to Kendall losing a husband. Her little bit of tears seem so forced. Sorry, but her scenes were definitely NOT Emmy material. She doesn't even deserve a nomination, let alone an Emmy. She should take some acting lessons from Kendall. Kendall knocked it out of the park with her mourning scenes.
Somehow Erika always manages to make everything all about her ---exactly what she did on monday's episode---I understand she is protective of her daughters but bottom line is she is very selfish bi**h---I don't care about her at all---She manipulates Jack and everyone else to get what she wants ---Liza may be the only person will nail her and bring her down from her high horse---Jack and Caleb are her little puppets ---Just my personal opinion ---
I like Susan Lucci but not Erika ---
can madison PLEASE leave she is getting on my nerves so bad, can like hs elose the baby and go to new york or some shit damn i hate her, let greenlee and ryan be together for once with no bad shit going on, and i feel so bad for greenlee thst she cant have a baby with ryan, cuz all these women having ryans child but greenlee is the one he loves, they need to change the script and like greenlee takes a test and shows that she might have a chance of having a baby i dont knw, i am jst saying, i feel bad for her
and i think that colby and asher make a WAY better couple then colby and damon, he is hurt, i am happy that colby and asher kissed
Erica (and SL) had me until that revolting rooftop slobbering session. She should have been with JACK. She should be with JACK. There is no way she is writing to Mona how much she loves Jack in one moment , and then 20 minutes later is kissing this back-stabbing jerk. AMC ruinined what should have been a banner week for Erica.
New Year always is a very important holiday for Zach and Kendall so sad that Kendall ended up in the hospital. The only highlight for me was Kendall being visited by Spike and Ian. Please bring back Thorsten Kaye as Zach Slater Kendall and the boys need him big time.
Along with Susan Lucci's performances, seeing Kendall's face light up when Spike and Ian visited the hospital was sweet. Now, bring Zach back, in the form of fan favorite Thorsten Kaye, making Team Slater whole again! The upcoming story surrounding Zach's "death" has potential to give many fans what they want. The opportunities are there. Please All My Children get Mr. Kaye to return, at any cost.
