The final episode of One Life to Live needs no comment here.Hope you enjoy the podcast. We loved the show.(And continue the lovefest, if you will, here.)1/13/12 Podcast

So the week is almost over, and we have, at this writing, 6 more eppys left of our beloved One Life to Live. Jordan has been crying everyday at what he calls a "flawless" week of soap. (I agree - mostly. I could do without Nora's text message acting. You do get paid nicely for this, Hillary B. Smith. Whats the "B" stand for? Bullshit acting?)Regardless, I'm loving the developments (and

No new podcast yet, folks - Jordan is way sick. I can deal with sick, but he's lost his voice. Believe you me, Jordan Hudson without his voice is like Melissa Archer without makeup-it ain't pretty. (Ouch! I'm actually liking Melissa Archer these days - just couldn't resist.) With all that is happening in daytime and on One Life to Live, it's not a good week for Jordan to go speechless. We'll

Ok, so by now the news that St. Charles Place Productions has no money (and never had the ability) to continue EITHER All My Children nor One Life to Live online is, quite frankly, old news. But talk about it we did on this week's podcast, so you'll get an earful on that.What you won't get an earful on, unfortunately, is the latest news that resident douchebag Mr. Brian Frons has stepped down

Hey folks! We're giving this thing a shot! The PVP is continuing to produce our little show, talking all things soap, Dirty Soap, nighttime drama, nighttime (not-so) reality.... And we hope you'll continue to join us as we wait for Prospect Park to get its shit together and maybe start making some soap operas! We're trying so-very-hard not to be dubious, but with stats like these, things

All My Children may have ended on September 23rd, but we here at the Pine Valley Podcast are still in mourning. So we hope you'll pardon us if we still feel the need to talk about it. (For listeners of the classic PVP, we even have a little surprise for you if you make it all the way to the end!)Jordan and I will be back soon on the 'cast to talk about One Life to Live and other "ephemera."

I started watching All My Children with my beloved Mendoza family, and I ended the series watching with them. Since Jordan and I were not able to watch together, I spent Friday, September 23rd, 2011 with my Titi Belen, my cousin Chris, and my Mami Gloria, and decided to share that experience with you all, the REST of my beloved AMC family.Jordan and I will definitely be recording our thoughts

And we can barely hold ourselves together.As we prepare for the last precious episodes of our beloved All My Children, we begin with a brief tribute to Mama Ruth. We also wax not-so-nostalgic for the amazing few weeks we've had of our dear LoBro and the writers bringing it all together, and consider our "last-viewing" plans. As for life after Pine Valley? JoHud and I are still scratching our

We're a little verklempt (with an occasional Puerto Rican rant) here at the Pine Valley Podcast. We're pretty sure we don't need to tell you why.As the end draws near, there's one thing we know for sure: we're incredibly grateful that we have you all to share this with. Please - give us your thoughts, feelings, last viewing party plans, and anything else you want to share, here. We love - and

From Maria to InsAnnie to Marian to J.F.A.P. to our beloved, suddenly donut-lovin' Dixie, we're starting to be treated to the returns of the vets we've so loved. (Not to mention the return of what some of us consider the magnificent Lorraine Broderick.) If you can say anything good about the end of our All My Children, it's that a) Frons has left it (mostly) the HELL ALONE, and b) that has

Oh, the ups and downs of being a soap fan! The news is old by now, but for any of y'all soap fans that haven't heard yet (is that possible?), our All My Children and One Life to Live have been given a second chance at life online, or so we hope.This week, Jordan and I mostly talk Prospect Park - and the prospects for our beloved All My Children - but we even threw in some recaps.

Well, leave it up to the Daytime Emmys to make Brittany Allen a star! (Not even her starring role on All My Children could do for Ms. Allen's career what a miserable 2-hour show that no one watched did.)I could NOT have said it better than Joe Flint from the Los Angeles Times. Take that, CBS! (Dipshits!) What do you think, dear viewers? We still care, and we want to know! Do your thing,

Jordan is miserable in the city, Ashley is less miserable in the country, and All My Children is, well, miserable.We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Aggie and Lorraine, with their scripts beginning to air, we hear, on June 27th. Oh, June 27th, you can't come fast enough!Our apologies if the podcast is boring or crappy this week. That's just how Jordan and I have been feeling over the state

Lots of people are working hard to save our soaps! It's amazing really how people have mobilized with petitions, blogs, advertisements in The Hollywood Reporter, press releases, etc. We can't all be everywhere doing everything, so do what you can. May 17 is Upfronts Day for ABC when advertisers view ABC's fall lineup & commit to upfront sponsorships. A protest is planned to take place while

Yeah, so, okay.... All My Children - uh, no, folks. It's not much better this week.Things continue on a downward spiral. As if evil priests weren't enough, we now have to deal with Evil Jesse. (This, dear listeners, is a perfect oxymoron.) I kid you not, folks. We have another - yes, I'm about to say it. (Deep breath!) Another - stolen - baby!We don't deserve this. The actors don't

Our little show is hanging by a thread, folks.I'm back from sunny FL, but things couldn't be dimmer for All My Children. From tired storylines to abysmal ratings and overblown budgets, things aren't looking good for our beloved sudser. I hope the insiders are wrong, but if they're right, Susan Lucci will be looking for a job for the first time in 40+ years.But the hell with what we think! What

(Gotta thank Dancing Elf for that title.)I'm in Florida with the babies, and Jordan is doing battle with the Queens of Gay-Bar-dom, so this will be it until March. We had so much fun recording this, but not so much fun watching AMC before doing so. I dunno - I just think Julie Hanan Craputhers and crew are counting the days until cancellation.

Happy New Year, people! And with a new year comes new... I mean, old? I mean, new? characters on the canvas. Yes, it's all a little confusing - lots of new folks on the screen, some old ones have come back, but it's all still interesting, at least, in our humble opinions....Hope you enjoy the new podcast - still having sound problems, but maybe that will be our New Year's Resolution!

First of all, thank you, Sir Shadow, for your recent post. If I didn't have a new podcast to share, I'd be piggybacking off of you, my talented friend!And whilst Jordan may not be agreeing, I, dear Sir, wholeheartedly do! Our All My Children has bit a bit dreary for this weary mom of toddler twins. (Can you believe that Jesse and Essie are 18 months old?) *But* - an this is a big but! - it's

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! I started a new blog post a week or so ago, but life got in the way and I never finished it. It had all sorts of interesting commentary about the state of All My Children, what it means to me and how, in a nutshell, it had been boring me to death. I wasn't saying it was Pratt-awful, but I the fact that I was falling asleep while fast forwarding the episodes

Okay, folks, so it's been forever-and-a-day since you've heard from us, and, well, no - things are not a whole helluva lot better for me with All My Children. I mean, yes, Erica is back, but a girl cannot live on Erica and Fat Caleb alone! That's like eating pork rinds on rice crackers. Nass-tee!This week, we dish on the Kids, One Life and GH, as well as a little primetime, a little pop-time,

Okay people - some days it's freakin' GREAT, and others? Not so much for me. But All My Children, as Jordan says, is by far a much better show than it has been in YEARS. So, yes - AMC *sucked* for me this week, but there are moments, folks, moments of incredible greatness and hotness. This AMC is still must-see for me, and I couldn't say that for a very, very long time.I got a new microphone.

I think most of our dear bloggers/listeners are feelin' All My Children, but some just aren't there yet. (Don't count me in on that pool, baby - I'm a lovin' my AMC!)Our friends over at WeLoveSoaps.net present a measured argument for both schools of thought - take a gander at their thoughtful analysis. Then take a listen to Jordan and I for some more thoughtful (and some not-so-thoughtful)

Okay, so maybe it wasn't mania. Okay, fine - the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards (as hosted by the been-there-done-that Regis Philbin) barely made a ripple on the entertainment scene. Me, I caught the last 20 minutes and got my Twitter on, so I was, uh, content. (Susan Lucci's black dress alone made me happy.)This week, we'll talk the Emmy's that weren't, the All My Children that was, and the

Besides Jordan's adventures with sexy lesbians, All My Children is showing some heat! Between J.R./Annie/Scott (and eBabe?) and Liza/Tad/Damon (and Colby?), and maybe, just maybe, even Greenlee and Ryan (but definitely not David!), we're loving our love in the afternoon.

ABC is delivering the daytime goods, and we hope you're enjoying it as much as we are.This month's (!) podcast is extra long, since we've made you wait an extra-long time for it.

It's been a while, and we're hopped up! (You may want to keep your hand on the volume controls for this podcast.) We're so happy to be back, and even happier to be looking forward to watching All My Children every day.It's good, people. Really good.

I have been bantering back and forth today on Twitter about the new General Hospital opening. Apparently, people are really happy with it. I'm a little more reserved about it, but most of you know I don't have a particular sentimental spot for GH. As I'm sure you all realize, I like the introduction to AMC better, but really that's irrelevant to my point.Here's the deal. I want the entire ABC

Yesterday was the first day an entire AMC-LA episode aired in HD. In the past I have recorded the AMC replays on SoapNet because the city I live in airs AMC on a one day tape delay. I don’t know what it is about SoapNet, but none of its HD offerings ever look so hot to me. Y&R & GH always look a little grainy compared to their original CBS/ABC airings which are incredible. Anyway, I checked out

Mixed opinions, here, but we have taken a little flak for our One Life to Live coverage. I mean, we are called The Pine Valley Podcast. We get it, people. We hear you. We just can't help ourselves, though. One Life just does it better. Take the following:One Life has mature adults screwing maturely (e.g. Bo and Nora); AMC has Tad and Liza making out in front of teens and hired help.One Life at

We watched this week, dear viewers. And we were excited to watch! After all, it was an anniversary show - the 40th Anniversary of our beloved All My Children. How badly could anyone screw that up? Even Pratthole! I mean, all you have to do is show some classic clips, feature the amazing veterans you had come back (Julia Barr, Kelly Ripa, Taylor Miller, Laurence Lau, Eva LaRue, to name the best),

It's a New Year, and (let's hope) a new show for our All My Children.We've taped a new podcast for you, our beloved listeners, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.

We here at the Pine Valley Podcast are thrilled about the new developments at our beloved All My Children. "Chuck Pratt Out, Lorraine Broderick In" are just about the greatest 6 words I've personally ever heard uttered (next to "It's a girl... It's a boy!", of course). We celebrated by writing a little ditty, so rather than try to top Shadow's ass-toot (more like brilliant) post last week, we'll

Sorry to disappoint y'all that listen to The Pine Valley Podcast exclusively for our ass-toot AMC commentary, but we had to expand the show.

I have to admit, when Ashley asked if I would post a new blog this week, my first thought was "Oh shit, I'm busted". You see, I haven't watched much since the last time I posted during the dance-a-thon. Sure, I've caught a few minutes here and there, but mostly I've kept up through your astoot comments, the blog, the podcast and spoilers. Honestly, I don't feel like I've missed much. From what I

I never saw “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”, but after watching "All My Children" last week I’m going to assume that movie really sucked.Not being familiar with the film, I did some research. From what I can tell, it is a thoroughly depressing drama about the marathon dance craze of the Great Depression. Apparently, married couples and unacquainted social dancers alike would arduously swing and

... and only love can save our show.(Sigh.)Don't see that happening. Clearly Frons, Pratthole, Craputhers and the rest of the dipshits over at All My Children aren't sharing the love we fans have for their product, or the genre, for that matter. What I can't understand is, why the hell would you work in daytime television unless you loved it? There ain't much money in daytime, and not much

First of all, folks, no new podcast this week. We're so sorry - Jordan and I couldn't work out our schedules. We do have so much to talk about and hope to be back next week.Between feeding my babies, putting them down for (attempted) naps, and playing with them, I have no time for the hot mess that is All My Children.

I’ve been replaying the Daytime Emmys in my head and reading some of the recaps and reviews. It was fun watching Sunday night and blogging and twittering as the winners were announced one after the other. We may have differing opinions regarding how entertaining the telecast was, but at least there was a telecast. It wasn’t on NBC, CBS, ABC or PBS-the networks who garnered the nominations. It

You are officially warned, folks. Yes, we did a podcast, but no, it ain't pretty. For reasons so ass-tootly captured by our fellow bloggers last week, All My Children was dumb-as-shit last week. A Scorpion on Krystal's chest? Nurse Gayle working a bar for David and hiding some super-mysterious (duh) guest? Zach locking Kendall in the attic?

Last week on AMC, Annie asks the burning question: “Want some?” to which Scott replies, “Hell yeah!” and rips off his velcro shirt.David and Liza share a kiss and the perfect Valtrex moment reminding us, as they say in the commercials, "it can affect both men and women, causing periodic outbreaks that may appear as painful or itchy clusters of blisters, bumps, and rashes in the genital area."

Well, Brian Frons must be pleased with himself. When he hired Chuck Pratt as Head Writer of All My Children, he probably thought that would be the end. No more daytime! We kill All My Children with Pratt's sucktastic writing, and the others will follow. After all, AMC is the lead-in to both One Life to Live and General Hospital. But no! He didn't count on "those things you call - The Fans" being

Hey, I’m a friendly guy. In fact, I’d call myself a people person. I like all kinds of people. OK, people who act illogically bother me a little, and yes I’m quick to lose patience with people who don’t have any sense of personal boundaries. I guess that explains why I was a little concerned about our AMC friends this past week.For example, what is with the open windows and doors in Pine Valley?

Jordan hated last week's eppys of All My Children. I, however.... Maybe it's sleep deprivation, or the fact that breast-feeding twins keeps me parked in front of the television for pretty much the entire day until Carlos comes home, but I found some entertainment in last weeks' episodes.

Hello everyone! Glad to be back home after a wonderful beach vacation. I’m still tying to catch up on all the episodes I missed, but thanks to your ass-toot commentary here on the blog I’m not totally clueless about all the shen-Annie-gans that have been going on in Pine Valley while I was soaking up the sun. I still have two weeks of old episodes to wade through. From what I have seen so far, I

(Get it? " 'Ho Hum"?)From what I can recall from my sleep-deprived, new mommy brain, the following events occured sometime in the past week on All My Children:Randi "frets" and "worries" about her past with North, and the Hooker With The Eyes of Stone succumbs to North's invitation. Hold on to your seats, viewers! What will Randi do next?!?Adam has hired a "security team." Annie tries to strangle

What a crazy week! OLTL’s Carlotta is recast and sparks a debate over the burgeoning Fish storyline with our own Jordan and DiscoDan weighing in on the issues. The entertainment world takes a big hit with the losses of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and pitchman Billy Mays, and we, like the rest of the world, paused for a moment to share some reflections on how our lives were touched

This month marks Chuck Pratt’s one year anniversary since joining All My Children, and we have him to thank for these gems from the last week: Another week, another head injury as David threw JR into a doorframe and knocked him out, and Tad threw a punch at David for calling him stupid. Hopefully the Babe Carey Chandler Memorial Wing at PVH specializes in treatment of head traumas.Amanda accepted

As if killing Stuart wasn’t bad enough, Pratt makes us relive it over and over as he drags the “Who Shot Stuart” murder mystery out all summer long. Of course the real mystery is “WTF is with Tad?”.Jessie is still acting like a Private Dick. Erica is the worst Private Dick ever, and Petey ruins the most significant piece of evidence discovered so far. What does Emma know about Stuart's death? She

But we'll both be back in time next week to cover the riveting and shocking developments in Pine Valley!

No, we're not talking about All My Children, but it's relevant: Guiding Light was cancelled this week, and soaps fans everywhere are mourning.What more is there to say? Guiding Light did everything right as far as we can tell, and the ax still fell. What does this mean for our little show, which doesn't feel very right lately? For more on this and other crazy-ass soap news (Kathy Brier getting

Kendall and Ryan are in love again (in less than a few weeks after Greenlee's death).Adam is sick and missing.Jesse and Angie are foster parents.Frankie and Rancid miss their flight to Hawaii.InsAnnie and Aidumb are MIA. (I'm not so bummed about this one, actually.)Lots of story blanks for the viewers to fill in this week, Mr. Pratt(hole)! I serisouly feel like I'm watching half-asleep. It's

Ryan has sex with Kendall. (That's fine, though, 'cuz Greenlee said it's, like, totally okay.)A-Mam-Da has a totally awesome idea about, like, how to save her kid.Yet another custody battle, and this time, David and Krystal are twirling their mustaches.Randi. Must. Go.What else can we say? (Sigh.) I'd much rather talk about our friends: thanks to Louie2K for this week's totally awesome opening

Sorry, folks. For this week's podcast, I tried to get a substitute for Jordan (who's just finishing up his project), but a) Taylor stopped watching in protest, and b) Pedro claimed he had frostbite. I reminded Pedro that this week NYC averaged 50 degrees, and his Birkies plus light socks would have kept him nice and warm. Then Pedro starting mumbling something about putting together a Janis

Adam and J.R. continue to call A-Mam-da 4- and 5-letter words.Jerkson jerks his way through his speech for his dead daughter, Greenlee.Aidumb mumbles sweet nothings to his spicy new lady friend, InsAnnie. Once again, Zach grumbles his way through the Pine Valley Police Station.Ryan continues to grit his teeth (and nothing much continues to come out of his mouth). We're still a little down in the

Adam knows Kendall's secret - oh!Krystal tells David she wants to marry him - my goodness! J.R. sees A-Mam-da embrace Jake - crazy! Ryan "cries" over Greenlee - amazing! Oh listeners.... How quickly things change! From a fairly decent week of daytime drama last week, we get little better than a diaper commercial this week. (Scratch that - I love that Huggie's Pull-Ups commercial!)

Bianca and Reese state their vows before the world. (Too bad Reese broke hers before the wedding.)Kendall rips that a-hole Zach a new one, and for the first time in months, I'm cheering at the TV screen instead of throwing chancletas at it.Poor Greenlee might be dead.Rebecca is dead - finally!Krystal and David?

Kendall wakes up -- to a whole new Pine Valley!Reese gives her (bitchy) mom what-for -- and Jordan doesn't like it one bit!Erica throws a wedding shower, La Kane style.AMamDa contemplates the complexities of Roe vs. Wade.Krystal and David screw all over David's white couch after Tad throws that heifer out of his house.More questions, more questions!

Kendall gets her damn heart, Josh Madden be damned.Erica "mourns" Josh by "weeping inconsolably."A"mam"da is preggers, and a "Baby-Daddy" mystery ensues. (And those mammaries will only get bigger as the pregnancy progresses. Yowza!)Something happens to InsAnnie where she "holds" Aidan's hand through a vent and Dr. Sinclair yells at her or something.We're back to the AMC blues, baby. We're

That milk-'ho Krystal sleeps with David, and gets busted for it. (Hallelujah!)Amanda sleeps with J.R., and it this case, I'm glad we don't see it.Greenlee and Ryan slurp their way through the week, and it ain't pleasant.And a special mention to Opal, who gives the Performance of the Week as the Mother Lion protecting her cub, Tad.We're so happy to be back this week, people!

Yowza, people! Almost 300 posts in the last two weeks!Since I think we're running out of space on this blog entry, let's just make another entry, shall we? Your ass-toot comments blow us away, and we don't want to miss a-one.Jordan and I will be back with a podcast up next Monday with oh-so-much to say about the holiday festivities (All My Children and otherwise). Thank you, thank you, thank you

And will we memorize the day when great and greatness fell?Say will this valley overcome, and will these shadows fade? And will we lift our eyes to see the beauty that she made?The disappearing last of her that leads

Krystal is a 'ho for a mug of hot milk.

You know it's a sad state of affairs when Cameron Mathison's thong is the highlight this week on our beloved All My Children.Brot just doesn't love Taylor anymore - so much so, that he's stalking her.Krystal is back to her old whorish tricks (and we're diggin' how psychotic it all is).Randi and Colby need to go. Period.We're back! I've been missing y'all -- Jordan's been representin' on the blog

David creepily manipulates Amanda. David creepily manipulates Krystal. Brot's mom reveals her creepy reasons for lying to Taylor (not to mention that she has creepy eyes). InsAnnie pulls the ultimate creepy move against Ryan (and I'm kind of glad). Jessie and Rebecca are just plain creepy. Colby is a creep, period. I must warn you - the levels on the podcast this week are not good. I set my

Let's do the bad news first.Both Jordan and I had a bad week. I had the stomach flu, and Jordan caught a crazy bug as well. We're both feeling better, but neither one of us was up to a 'cast this week. So sorry to disappoint, but hopefully next week things will be looking up for both of us (and food will be staying down).The good news? I was actually caught up in this past Thursday's and Friday's

(Read title caption to the tune of the famous ditty by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam, and not with Bobbie Eakes portrayal of grieving momma in mind.)Krystal "mourns" the death of her daughter, Arabella Carey Chandler.David threatens everyone in town. (No wonder our resident Dr. Evil gets it wrong all the time. He lacks focus.)Binks gets engaged. (Shouldn't we care a little more about this?)Annie

Krystal says a (not so) tearful goodbye to Arabella Carey Chandler.Jake-gyver attempts brain surgery in the dark, and what do you know? It doesn't go so well.Ryan and Aidumb survive the tornado.

But why aren't we here at the PVP feeling the

(Except this one has better special effects.)Oh, folks. I'm not gonna lie. I've been absent from both the 'cast and the blog this week. Ever since I saw TIIC turn Carmen into a caricature with her catfight with Erica on Wednesday, I haven't been the same. Almost stopped watching right then and there. But we made a commitment to you ("We Watch So you Don't Have To!"), and we're doing our best to

Not sure if you all caught this, but apparently, something very, very bad will happen in Pine Valley. Soon. And it will end the world as we know it. (Didn't that happen in the real world last Monday, folks?)Jesse should be fingerprinted. Seriously. He's not our Jesse, folks. Sorry. Nope. It ain't him. Don't believe it. Not for one second.InsAnnie, Zach, Kendull, Cryan, Aidumb and Not-Very-Meanlee

In a dazzlingly original display of sexual bravado, Greenlee paints her body in Aidumb's poetry. (We're serious. She does. And it's gross.)"Father-of-the-Year" Cryan Lavery makes (V-Tach-free) pancakes for Emma.

Greenlee is so calm as to be comatose, and Kendall is someone we really don't even care about anymore.Petey gets electrocuted. (Huh? This better be Chuck Pratt's way of getting him to forget Colby!)Frankie attempts to comfort a D.B.T.E. Randi.

Chuck Pratt undoes an "undone" abortion, but pretty much murders the character of Josh in the process.Angie and Frankie blow out the speakers on my high-definition television.

As some of y'all know, the computer program that I use to record my podcasts broke down around 2 in the morning last night and corrupted my file. (At 2:01 a.m., Ashley broke down.)But hey, they are bigger things in life to blubber about, so let's talk about The Kids!Affter being away for a week and not getting a new PVP this week, your ass-toot commentary is needed now more than ever.

Fletcher was killed by a chick! (We loved it, and I, for one, am loving me some Taylor.)"Bella" stunk up the room, but our precious Amanda still came out smelling like a rose.Turns out, Jesse couldn't call Angie all those years because he was in the loony bin and couldn't find any quarters lying around.Crazy Kathy lights up our lives, and Baby Jenny is a joy.Suxtet who?

InsAnnie gets crazier, but doesn't catfight Kendall.Greenlee and Aidumb keep having not-so-hot sex.Carmen goes for Jackson, and doesn't get bitch slapped by Erica.Fletcher offers Frankie a deal that Frankie would prefer to refuse (and a storyline that I prefer would go away).I'm losing my patience, folks. I'm sure Esensten and Brown are gone, yet the silliness remains. Please keep me hangin' on -

Greenlee marries Aidumb, while Ryan re-marries InsAnnie. Jack and Erica break, and Erica and Sam make.... small talk?
