My Favorite Soap Opera "All My Children"

 I have been a fan of All My Children since the late 1980's. My favorite characters include Dixie Martin, Tad Martin, Ryan Lavery, Greenlee Smythe, Kendall Hart, Zach Slater, Adam Chandler, Angie and Jesse Hubbard, David Hayward, Amanda and Jake Martin, Brooke English, Erica Kane and Jackson Montgomery. I also like the new characters that were incorporated into the show in 2010. I like the new cover shots that show the character's pictures much better than the old cover shots with the black background. I like the theme music for the show because it is catchy and uplifting. The best change that All My Children made was to hire new writers and bring fresh characters into the show. The smartest move was the return of Dixie Martin. The storylines have become much stronger and exciting to watch what happens next. The show only has one more month to go before it goes off the air permanently September 23. I'm sure there will be plenty of dramatic scenes between the characters. I would like to see Dixie and Tad Martin reunited. The couple that should remain together would be Ryan and Greenlee. The biggest question is will Erica Kane really marry Jackson Montgomery considering her track record with men. Now that Zach Slater has come back from the dead will Kendall choose to stay with Zach or leave him for Griffin. The character of Angela Hubbard played by Debbi Morgan is leaving the show for the Young and the Restless. This pair may be broken up forever or written off the show. What will happen to the devious Dr. David Hayward who seems to be too busy drugging and kidnapping the members of Pine Valley. Then there's Amanda and Jake Martin whose marriage appears to be solid until his ex-wife showed up. I am eagerly awaiting the return of two beloved characters Adam Chandler and Brooke English. Adam Chandler has two different sides he can be nice but also a control freak. Brooke English knows Adam Chandler well since she was once married to him in the show. How will Adam Chandler react when he discovers that Dixie is alive. I had a feeling that Marisa would fall in love with Bianca. Marisa's ex-husband J.R. wants revenge because his wife left him for another woman. All My Children's current gay storyline will most likely have its usual twists and turns. I have been recording Friday's episodes which are the best. I will miss not watching All My Children at its regular hour 1:00 p.m. The last episode which airs on September 23 will close out the show. It's been fun watching the people of Pine Valley deal with life's ups and downs. This final episode should prove to be a memorable one in soap opera history. I commend the cast and crew of All My Children for being on ABC for 41 years.
