All My Children Week in Review: Week of February 7, 2011

Funniest Moment: Pine Valley wasn’t exactly a barrel of laughs this week, but that the handcuffs Annie used to link Colby to a table were FUZZY was kind of awesome.

 

WTH? Moment: David’s gonna avoid jail again!? How does he do it? In this case, when you have the power of Erica Kane and her connections to the Governor, you can do anything. But this guy HAS to get some punishment doled out, right?

 

Best Moment: We love a catfight, and this week we got Annie vs. Marissa. In an attic. We’re glad that Annie has upped her crazy ratio, because it’s really let Sarah Glendenning step up and shine as a take-no-prisoners Marissa.

 

Performer of the Week: Walt Willey as Jackson. Always a dependable performer, Walt shined playing Jack’s frustration with Erica – especially after he found out she engineered David’s eventual release from custody. Walt’s able to play that fine balance with Jackson of total love and devotion to Erica, matched with total frustration with her. Is it weird that we love when they fight as much as when they are happy?

 

Why We Love All My Children This Week: Because it’s All My Children! Watching Susan Lucci, Michael E. Knight, Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams on The Oprah Winfrey Show reminded us of just how awesome they are. The vintage clips reminded us of all the reasons why we fell in love with AMC - the humor, the romance, the couples, the stories. So we’re just basking in overall AMC love. Did you guys see Oprah? What did you think?

 

What were your highlights (and lowlights) of this week?

it was so nice to see the wedding of Jack and Erica again, to see them with all their children. That was so wonderful to see this magic.
But, what really what got me it's they're is no karma at all, when Erica kept the test result that Jack is Greenley dad. Greenley, stop Jack and Erica wedding. Greenley does the exact same thing to Ryan and of course they got married without a notch.
That mountain woman abuser make my skin crawl every time I see him around Erica, after the way he treat her in those mountain and now he try to look like a hero. And Kristal is so pathetic, sniffing around Jack pretending to a legal assistant where was her legal advice when she kidnap Bianca's baby girl?

Palmer and Adam are irreplaceable ---James Mitchell was one of a kind actor---So as David Canary ( still is )---
I know AMC will never be the same without those two great actors :(:(:(
I wish Adam comes back to visit once in a while ---that will be VERY nice :):):)

THEY HAVE FOUND NO ONE TO REPLACE PALMER AND ADAM. I AM SO TRIED OF ERICA AND HER DAUGHTERS.

When I read that Angie and Jessie are gone I will shout for joy. I am so fed up with Jessie and his favorite, s getting away with everything. The show should change it name to the Kindell, Rhyn and Greenlee show. Why dis they bring this awful person back anyway. I wish Erica would leave too. I am glade that David is baCK, HE IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS ALL THESE DULL PEOPLE HOPPING. THATS GOOD FOR RHYN THAT ANNIE IS GONE BONKER. WHILE HE HAS BEEN BUSY SMELLING GREENLEE AND MAKING SURE THAT KINDELL IS HAVING HER WAY, HIS OWN DAUGHTER HAD BEEN NEGLECTED. HE CAN ONLYFOCUS ON GREENLEE KINDELL. I HOPE DAVID HAVE RHYN FRAMED FOR MURDER.

It's time for Jerica to remarry and stay together and be the anchor couple/family on this show instead of hiring newbies off the street that nobody cares about. Cooney is no Adam or Palmer, and frankly, I don't care about him or his kid. We want JERICA>

I hate that Annie is leaving!!! I HATE the new Marissa!!!!! Please don't put Marissa and JR back together....
Don't care what anyone says..i sure hope Madison's baby IS Frankies. What a story line and hey, for all the complainers...here is an awesome chance to put minorities in an awesome storyline!! Woot!! It's time for Ryan and Greens to live and love happily ever after.
Ok, it is soooo time for Jack and Erica to marry. They are over due. Put Caleb with Krystal..they both deserve each other. I'm not a huge fan of boring Krystal, but put her southern butt with the mountain man.
How sexy is Dr. McMexicana!!?? I am pulling for him and Kendall. Can you see him and the preacher-man fighting of her?
I"m just sitting back and enjoying and loving the show I've watched all my life!!!

PLEASE tell me rebroadcasting Jerica's wedding was a positive sign that we will be getting another one and that they wont' end up with Cooney and KWAK? If that's the case, this was a very mean and cruel thing to do to Jerica fans

I loved the Jack and Erica wedding. Loved it. Alot of old friends there I hadn't seen in a while. And you know what else I loved? This story was the beginning of Zen, with Thorsten Kaye and Alisha Minshew. The best couple AMC has had in the new century. Much better than anything the show has now!
I find it interesting that both the OLTL show and the AMC show had Thorsten Kaye characters central to the stories. ABC, we miss him. Bring back Thorsten Kaye. Hurry!
