All My Children Week in Review for August 16, 2010
Funniest Moment: With all that Erica has done and has accomplished in the past 40 years, it's hard to think of her as anything but extraordinary. However, like all big superstars, she has a private life -- and that includes being a mother and even a mother-in-law. So it was heartwarming and amusing when Zach confronted David about his shenanigans and said, "Unlike some people, I like my mother-in-law, and I like to keep her alive and well." For Zach, she's not Erica Kane -- model, author, and tycoon -- she's family. Besides, they do share a rich past together. After all, it was Zach who hid a blonde Erica Kane working in Las Vegas as Desiree Dubois.
WTH? Moment: We know Ryan has a history as a con artist, but we weren't aware he was also a regular MacGyver too! What was that fancy machine he used to break into David and Greenlee's suite at the yacht club? Is that the Nanotech? How did Ryan get access to such a gadget? There are just too many unanswered questions here. We'll just chalk it up to "WTH?" and move on ...
Best Moment: It has been exciting watching Kendall reconnect with her family, friends, and even enemies in Pine Valley. Her bonding time with Bianca at Wildwind was so realistically done. Spike ran to Kendall and Zach when they walked in. Bianca hugged her brother-in-law and welcomed him back and then informed them how Ian was already asleep upstairs. Then Kendall and Zach were introduced to Caleb Cooney. As Caleb was leaving the room, Bianca said, "Caleb is my roomie." A taken-aback Caleb did his best to remain macho, but clearly he is loosening up. He replied, "I'm not a roomie." We can't help but love these tender family moments.

It is nice to see Zach and Kendall. I wish Kendall could get her own story line instead of sticking her nose in everyone elses. Please make Greenlee would stay away from Ryan. This on again off again thing is really ridiculous. I can see Ryan burning Madison the same way he burned Annie. She has the potential to go all kinds of crazy like Annie did too. Some originality folks? How about making Ryan a fall guy for a change. This Asher guy appears to be a boyfriend mole that Colby's dad picked out for her to me. I'm liking the mountain man though. He adds a little variety.
You are not alone DreamRealiser. I too did not care that Zach returned. I really don't like him and find him a big bully, constantly losing his temper.
I don't like how the writers are making it look like Frankie and Madison are getting feelings for eachother. Frankie and Randi are perfect. I think Madison and Ryan are good together but it won't last. I really wasn't happy when Angie ended up pregnant. And sure she has her eyesight problem to worry about, but what about being pregnant at her age? That's high risk too. Are the writer's going to end up having Randi carry the baby by transferring it from Angie to Randi?
I must be the only person on the face of the earth who didn't miss Zach & Ken-doll when they were off. They just bore me to tears, that blonde bimbo chasing Ryan (who should be thrown out of Pine Valley as well) has got to go as well as Green-pee. Keep David -- he creates fab animosity, MORE Angie & Jesse please! Have loved those two since they were in high school.
My God . . . it was wonderful to see TK back on my screen again. Haven't watched the show since he left and I will only tune in on the days he is on.
ABC/AMC . . . do youselves a favor . . . do everything possible to get TK back on a permanent basis.
I agree with most that it is good to see Zach and Kendall back. Their romance took on a real spin of real issues in a marriage, not to divorce as so many do on soaps. As of the man who lived in the woods, the minute I saw him and could see below his roughness, I knew he'd be in Pine Valley soon enough. He and Kystal will end up together in my opinion but then I want her with Tad, they are perfect. But then we are talking soap opera's. As of Ryan, yes why does he feel he is super hero. I don't blame his new girlfriend for being put out. I'd end it in a heart beat but don't blame her as well for holding out hope. Greenlee is just so darn cute! How many people on AMC have come back to life? Think about it.
Having TK & AM back on AMC makes the show worth watching....
Love seeing Zendall again.....I just wish the writers would give them a story that didn't involve those two useless waste Ryan & Greenlee..
Loved seeing Zach & Caleb in the same room....
Finally, two "REAL" men.... It would be nice to see them in a s/l together....along with Jesse, Tad, David.....
Note to Soapnet/TPTB: Greenlee is no victim... She is guilty as sin and Kendall should be allowed to hate her for what she's done.... Ryan is no superhero, no good guy, he's the village idiot and needs to disappear with his vile green gnat...
Loved Zach/David scenes.... TK & VI are just awesome to watch....
It's great to have Zendall back... TK/AM bring something to AMC that has been lacking since they left..
Romance, Drama, Excitement...
More Zendall Please, but please give them a s/l that doesn't involve those two useless waste characters known as Rylee...
I want a scene with Zach/Kendall/Jesse/Angie..... that would be amazing to watch..
It was wonderful after so many months to see Zach and Kendall back on AMC. They are an amazing couple and like a breath of fresh air, their presence again lit up the screen. What I liked the most about them is that their portrayal was very real. They still had relationship issues to resolve, however their ever present love and commitment to each other was very evident in their scenes. A lot of that credit goes to TK and AM and the comfort level between them through appropriate nuances and ad lib touches to convey to the audience that wonderfully fun and romantic pairing they represent on the show. Their's is a true love story, which the show desperately needs. ABC must leave no stone unturned to get Thorsten Kaye back on the show permanently. His charisma and amazing talent is irreplaceable.
Zach Slater's return this week was wonderful. I loved that we were treated to the real Zach and Kendall after a long dry spell. Hopefully these HW's can continue to get it right and ABC can do whatever it takes to get Thorsten Kaye back on contract.
Seeing Zach back in Pine Valley made my week. I have missed seeing him and Kendall. I love that Zach is so protective of his family. I am glad to see him get in David face and make it known that he will not allow anyone to hurt anyone in his family.I loved seeing them talking out their issues and showing how much stronger they have become since they left Pine Valley to find their paradise. A loving strong Team Slater is what this fan wants to see.
Does anyone remember that the caveman kept ERica against her will. That he stole her cellphone and kept her in a drity cabin when she had infection? That JACK is the one who rescued her?
