ALL MY CHILDREN: Kendall is alarmed when she and Erica discover Zach’s car abandoned by the side of the road and notice traces of blood. Greenlee and a badly injured Zach try to find help. Drawing on his own dark past, Jonathan tells Ryan he understands Richie’s point of view on life. Jonathan warns Ryan that Richie won’t stop until he’s destroyed Ryan and Annie.

Erica is proud to welcome Celine Dion to New Beginnings.
SNEAK PEEK: Jack tells Erica he does not love her.

I am so overjoyed that Jonathan reveals that he knows how it feels to be Richie.  Many people have not realized that he is dying inside and the only way for him to survive is to do these horrible, bad things.  This situation could not have gotten worse for J.R., he’s gonna need a miracle to come back from this setback.  I am sure that when everything is said and done that Richie will be proven culprit but that will be hard to prove.  I am glad that the Martins and Chandlers will sit down to have Thanksgiving dinner together-  they are joined in so many ways that they need to be civil to each other at least once a year. I wonder if Babe truly is falling in love with Richie or maybe she is trying to find out his true intentions? I wonder, she could be a very sneaky girl, don’t underestimate her. Celine Dion is guest starring on AMC, probably plugging her new tour/single/album/etc.- but anyway it will prove to be a fun appearance.

There was a nice, solid increase now for the ABC Soaps and  I wonder what could have contributed to that.  I can understand an increase for GH- it is superb but for OLTL and AMC, I do not believe so much.  Although their storylines are must-see, I am not drawn in like this mysterious killer storyline on GH.  On OLTL, I could care less if Marcie is caught and I really don’t care who gets Asa’s estate- that’s just boring to me.  On AMC- why not just kill Richie off already and now I hate Kendall more than ever before.  Trust me this improvement is no going to last for all ABC soaps, I guarantee that in a week’s time that GH will be the only ABC soap to have an improvement- just watch and see.

I have to say that I am sick and tired of Anthony Zacchara, he is just too crazy for television.  This storyline is ridiculously violent and out of control- there is no reality factor in this storyline at all.  GH is notorious for doing these three week, violence-laced storylines in which no positivity is the solution.  I know that this is a desperate ploy to increase ratings and stir the pot by killing off characters- it is reaching the point of ridiculousness.  GH and other soaps should take a break from these high violent, traumatic events and focus on positive storylines with good endings- there’s enough gloom and doom in this world.

So it appears that Nikolas has accidentally killed his fiancee, Emily, but then again maybe Anthony did her in.  Nikolas experiences blackouts so who knows, maybe he didn’t kill her afterall.  I think that it would be great if Nikolas was the guilty party and that he had to pay for his crimes like real killers- injecting some reality in these stories would help! 

Sonny had to donate blood to one of his greatest enemies, Ric and I applaud him for putting differences aside to aid his brother.  Although he doesn’t like Ric, he would do absolutely anything for his family no matter what it cost. 

I wonder what is going on with Jerry, the show would be so dull without the intrigue of Jerry Jacks.  Jerry brings so much to the table and maybe he’ll be the one to be sick and defenseless for a change.  I am just praying that the virus has not returned to Port Charles- a rehashing of that awful storyline would be a travesty.

I am proud of Babe for not fully giving in to Richie- just when I thought she was a somewhat naive, indecisive girl, she surprises me.  I must admit that I hated the fact that Alexa Havins left, I am glad that they got a very competent, young actress to fill in the role.  It is tough to come in and take over a role that has been established for a few years and this actress, Amanda Baker is truly making Babe her own.  The storyline potential for Babe is very high and I am sure that this recast will be passed up when the writers meet to come up with new storylines- she will be front and center.

And on to bad boy, Richie, for one I am glad that this person is coming forward- that means one less psycho in Pine Valley.  I doubt the Pine Valley justice system will put him in jail and from what I hear, he will spend a lot of time with Janet "From Another Planet" Green in the looney bin.  Now those will be must-see scenes, I am a huge fan of Janet Green and maybe we’ll see Mr. Smooth (Richie) meet his match in craziness.

Tad is overreacting to the fact that Adam wants a second chance with Krystal- let her make that decision, don’t hold the issue of custody over her head.  I know Adam deserves this treatment but Tad has got to understand that Krystal still has a strong affection for Adam and let them be happy.  I will truly hate Tad if he goes as far as to sue for custody and maybe if the revelation of Kathy being Kate will come out, he will be less of an overall jerk.

So Greenlee and Aidan put their escape plan in motion today, I don’t think they fully thought through the full consequences of running off like cowards.  In my opinion, I think she should have stayed and fought the charges because sooner or later, Zach or Ryan would have realized that Kendall was at fault. I really liked how Julia was trying to convince Greenlee and Aidan that a life on the run is not pleasant and that it is hell.  I like how the writers have remembered that Julia was on the run for nearly ten years before she came back as a nurse.  I have to note how funny Greenlee looked in her biker disguise, she wouldn’t have fooled me.

Ryan was torn over his actions, whether what he did was right or wrong and I think he was justified.  Although I thought Greenlee should fight these outrageous charges, the Kane name means a lot in Pine Valley and it would just be an endless fight on her end.  She has some support but due to recent circumstances, she is not trustworthy to anyone.  I really enjoyed Ryan and Annie’s family scenes today when they were with Emma and Kathy- now that is a cute family.

J.R. admits to Amanda about his fall off the wagon and his deception where it concerns Babe.  If I was her, I would not have done that, that gives him more incentive to drink- he is falling and he is falling fast.  This is a very compelling story and one that has not been told in Pine Valley for a while.  The last time I remember a story around alcoholism was Arlene Vaughn, oh wait, no no no- I completely forgot about Erica a few years ago.  She had fallen off the wagon after her father’s death and she had that intervention in Las Vegas- those were some very powerful scenes at the time.

From Lynda Hirsch-
