All My Children Weekly Preview: 11/5-11/9

From Lynda Hirsch-
ALL MY CHILDREN: The doctor reveals to Ryan and Annie that Richie’s blood tested positive for leukemia and his condition is terminal. Lily is falling for Richie. Adam drops the charade of pretending to be Stuart and bares his soul to Krystal, saying he wants to be a family again with her and Jenny. Krystal fears trusting Adam and makes it clear she would always put her baby first. Tad’s blood boils when he sees Krystal in Adam’s arms. Tad forbids Krystal from ever taking Jenny anywhere near Adam and vows the child will never live at the mansion. Hannah tells Tad he must try to understand all the mistakes he has made. J.R. falls off the wagon after being rejected by Babe. Greenlee decides to plead guilty to Kendall’s trumped-up kidnapping charges. Aidan arrives at the court and plans to abduct Greenlee. Jack warns Erica he will make Kendall’s life miserable if he learns she framed Greenlee.
SNEAK PEEK: Erica warns Kendall.
So this week we find out that Richie is in fact dying and the cherry on top of that surprise is that Lily is falling for Richie. I am sure that this relationship will get the same backlash as the Jonathan/Lilly pairing and thus will fail. Adam finally drops the whole Stuart scheme and comes clean to Krystal, now that is what this storyline was missing- honesty! I am so invested into their union and I hope Tad does not ruin what could be one of the most successful couples in Pine Valley history.
J.R. finally falls off the wagon this week, it was just a matter of time-with all the problems he has, I’m surprised it took this long. Babe will, now and forever, be J.R.’s biggest weakness and without her in his life, he’s nothing. I’m quite certain that this could be one of the final nails in the coffin for Erica and Jack- damn why can’t this couple be happy together. I wonder what TPTB have in store for this Greenlee storyline- there are so many endless possibilities. I am quite shocked that with this wealth of storyline potential that AMC is at the bottom of the barrel, ratings-wise. They should be towards the top tier and I guarantee that by the spring, AMC will be among the top soaps on television.

[...] Erica is truly getting on my nerves- its not enough that Kendall is trying to take care of Greenlee, Erica does too. Erica should not fight her children’s battles and I think it should be time that Erica act more mature and forget about revenge. She has lived a lifetime in which revenge has come up several times and has she taken the better road; No she has not and she continues to be this way well into her older years. It was quite nice to see her good friend, Opal, today- that woman is so talented, she should be on more. Opal was once one of the sources of humor on this dramatic soap and I would love to see her back full-time again soon. [...]
