On Thursday, April 29, Todd flat lined and One Life to Live gave us a quick glimpse of what hell would be for him. His daughters and their mothers waited outside while he was being worked upon after he was beaten severely by Cole Thornhart.

RH: Summarizing Some Stories 1980

Since the SoapNet broadcasts of Ryan’s Hope have gotten us to the end of another year, this time being 1980, I wanted to assess where the program is at with the storylines. Some of this may not be accurate, as at times I’ll have technical difficulties and miss episodes.

AMC: Tribute to Palmer & Departure of Adam

Last week marked a changing of the guard on All My Children with Palmer’s Tribute and Adam’s departure from Pine Valley. James Mitchell passed away earlier this year, and they aired a special episode in honor of his character Palmer Cortlandt on Tuesday. David Canary has retired, so his character of Adam Chandler has been retired as well. Adam’s twin brother Stuart was killed off last year.

P&G's Newest Production

On Friday, April 16, 2010, NBC aired the first co-production of Walmart and Procter & Gamble Productions called Secrets of the Mountain. In promoting this movie, a bomb was dropped, which is what took so long for me to write about this situation. Thanks go to welovesoaps.net for letting everyone know about this news.

Bye-bye Betty

Last week we had tax day in the USA and the last episode of Ugly Betty. Rumors have already begun about the possibility of a movie, but who knows if that will come to pass.

This week on One Life to Live we saw the swan song of medical student Kyle Lewis and police officer Oliver Fish. The couple got their happy ending while remaining in Llanview.

AMC: Aiden's Out on DWTS

Occasionally the world of soaps and reality shows cross, but that came to an end this season on “Dancing with the Stars.” Even if there are no performers on the program from the daytime or nighttime serial genre, I still watch DWTS.

OLTL: See You Schuyler

The character of Schuyler Joplin went to prison on One Life to Live for kidnapping his former girlfriend, Gigi and shooting Bo Buchanan. Scott Clifton, who is best known as General Hospital’s Dillon, played the part of recovering drug addict, who had a lot of demons.

AMC: Tad the Cad is Now Damon's Dad

All My Children wrote in an encounter between Tad and his former love Hillary. This one stolen moment created a child that she raised with her husband. Now Damon is in Pine Valley getting into trouble and causing problems for himself and those around him.

OLTL: Goodbye Kimmie

I was planning to write about each of the One Life to Live character departures, but since Rachel's was so uneventful. She told Schuyler that she is going out of town to help a friend move. Rachel didn't even interact one last time with her mom Nora or her brother Matthew. For this reason I'm starting with Kim Andrews and summarizing her time in Llanview.

GH: Happy Anniversary

In honor of General Hospital’s 47th anniversary, I wanted to share my first memories of the show. While what I am writing may seem to be funny it is true to the best of my recollections of my life prior to the age of eight. It is not an April fool’s day joke.
