All My Children

[Arat Sevol Wolliw]

Ok so I'm on Summer break and I'm all ready to dive head first into the dark, dark world of Soap Operas. I'm trying to dig AMC right now because I hear that Bianca (Erica Kane's Daughter.) is a lesbian. Does anyone know the backstory with that one? I know that now she's going to her senior prom with a girl who is her ex-girlfriend's (Is Frankie dead?) sister. Help me out, the world of soap operas is so complex (and cheesy, might I add.)

life is a b movie/ it's stupid and it's strange/ a directionless story/ and the dialogue is lame/ but in the he said she said/ sometimes there's some poetry/ if you turn your back long enough/
and let it happen naturally

I've been watching ALL MY CHILDREN for like a year and a half now. I think it was in January 2001, Bianca told her Mom that she was a Lesbian!!!!!! WOO and Hoo!!!! She had a girlfriend, Frankie, but she was killed. So, now she has had her eye on Frankie's twin sisters Maggie!!!

GO BIANCA!!!!!!!

[Dumbsaint]

Last I heard, Maggie was straight and intended to end up with J.R. What's this about Bianca being hot for her and them going to the prom together?

Wham, bam, slap-a-tag-on-my-toe, ma'am.

Hello, evil now!

Maggie is straight. Some Morgan chick was giving Bianca a hard time, I guess, about who Bianca was taking to the prom. Maggie was there and they had a little confrontation (seemed like Mags was dissing Binks but the next day they made it out to be Mags standing up for Bianca), which ended in Binks and Maggie apologizing to each other and deciding to go to the prom together just to stick it to Morgan and her gang, or whatever. It's really, really lame. Erica's supposed to take them both out shopping for dresses.



I hadn't heard anything about Maggie falling for JR, but the actress who plays her was dating the guy who plays him in real life.

Frankie was never Bianca's girlfriend. She's been one of many periferal girls Bianca has liked and Frankie could have been her gf but of course she committed suicide. Maggie would be her second straight crush. The only gf Bianca ever had was Sarah but Sarah's family freaked Sarah out and she's out of the picture too. I miss Rain.

Killed herself? I thought Vanessa killed Frankie?

Oh never mind, I stopped watching long ago I know it's silly but once the lesbian dies, I kinda stop watching



you are right.

My advice to anyone who is watching this is not to invest too much emotion into it, because I guarantee you that there is no way that this show is ever going to give Bianca a real girlfriend. Maggie is just another in a long list of ways they have chosen to fuck with Bianca................

[xita]

Rain was the only girl who could have loved bianca well and proper, she was gay and had no issues with it. She obviously liked Bianca and I think Bianca very much appreciated her friendship and maybe more?? Unfortunately, she was bought and paid for by Bianca's mom.. . and quickly ushered off the show.

I always liked Rain as a friend for Bianca. I never really saw the potential for them to be anything more. Erica paid her $10,000 to leave town and not come back. Sarah was my favorite Not!Actual (as none of them were) girlfriend for Binks. I think I just really liked the actress, though. Laura was a straight psycho. Frankie got killed and then they did some of that retroactive continuity (which is probably not the right term for it, they just pulled crap out of their asses) crap, even had Bianca saying that she had been her gf. Maggie is straight. So Binks is still alone and without any kind of interesting storyline, which pisses me off. Aside from them being too chickenshit to do anything real and new, Eden Riegel is a great actress with amazing range and they give her crap to do. Idiots.



And now, on top of all that, they are doing the character assassination thing. Not literally, one must be very careful when talking about lesbians, I know. I mean they have started writing her as coming off as pretty much a jerk. It's seriously pissing me off even more. She's saying shit that is so out of character for her it makes my damn teeth itch. bastards.



Sigh, my poor loveless lesbian Bianca. Anyway. The real reason I posted in here.



Today Bianca actually said the line,

"I can't believe this, I'm gonna be watching my back for the rest of my life."

Sigh, if only she knew.



Granted, she was talking about her sister wanting to get revenge on her, but the line itself as a stand-alone is pretty funny.



At first I was pissed cause it was out of character for her to jump to the conclusion that she did in order to say that line. Then it dawned on me what she had said and I just started laughing.

rofl, that's hysterical, yes Bianca watch your back, isn't Eden's contract up in like less than a year?



I liked rain so there :a She was such the dyke. I think rain liked bianca, didn't think bianca had given her a chance yet.



So they have been doing retcon eh? I watched the whole frankie deal and there is no way in hell she was her gf. Poor Bianca though, if you are saying they are destroying her too. She was one cool kid.

[lauriebear]

Last I heard, they are trying bring back Amanda Dillon to be a love interest for Bianca, but they still can't find someone that has the right chemistry with Eden.



Yeah I was watching it for a while, but after they killed Frankie, my interest quickly left. I wouldn't invest too much into the show, they can't write for a lesbian for shit. She's been on almost 2 years now and has yet to have a romance, don't even get me started on what they did with her and Frankie. But alas the breeders on the show are hopping from bed to bed. Just wonderful

[kpmuse]

Oh yeah. I heard Bianca say that line today too. The first thing I thought ..... another dead lesbian coming up in the future.

Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, I think her contract is going to be up soon. I'm pretty sure she only had a three-year one. I wonder what she's gonna do. I mean, this soap thing has got to be a pretty cushy gig, and money is money.



I heard the Amanda Dillon thing, too. I don't know about it though, I'll believe it when I see it.



I don't think they'd kill Bianca. She is Erica Kane's daughter, after all. Her sister is probably just going to make her life hell or some other lame soap thing.

I don't know if this pertains to the Amanda Dillon character, but I read recently in Soap Opera Weekly (I think 2 issues ago) that the head writer did say they were actively looking for a love interest for Bianca. Don't know if this is his patented response to someone always saying Bianca can never keep a girlfriend, or if he really means it, but it could be relevant in context to recasting Amanda. I guess time will tell, I kinda gave up watching this show, but my mother loves All My Children so I suppose she will tell me if anything interesting comes up with Binks.

[BytrSuite]

Okay, so there a spoiler this week that "Bianca reveals her feelings for Maggie." That sounds all nice and potentially interesting (ha!) but it most likely means that she tells her she just likes her as a friend. Or she's telling her mother that she just likes Maggie as a friend.



So, no new news really. Just the same old stuff. No girlfriend for Binky.

Soap Operas have lesbians now?



Ok, that's it, drop the sky, blow up the sun, open the hellmouth and take this planet out of its misery. I'm turning in my lesbian membership card and hitchhiking back to Boystown. Seriously, to be represnted on the media by soap opera actressess? I'd rather be attracted to hairy men in sparkling thongs dancing to disco music. No offence.

Actually, the actress who plays her is really very good. I like her a lot. They just haven't been giving her any good story lines, for, like, two years.

bytr, where did you read that spoiler? Ive been hoping binx would come back to being a major presence on the show...since this whole maria/edmund thing took over she's been practically non-existent..

[BytrSuite]

AMC Daytime is where I read the spoiler. It's in the Scoops and Stuff section.



I doubt this means she'll be back on the show more. They still have no plot for her to get involved in.

thanks I hope these are right..sonny's spoilers are usually prettyy acurate.

[BytrSuite]

Well, today is the day Bianca reveals her feelings to Maggie. I will be watching, but I always do.



In the preview yesterday, poor Bianca's voice cracked when they had her say the line about how she was going to tell her or asked her if she wanted to know or whatever. Sigh. I'm such a sucker.

OOH, anyone got clips? Looks like I'm going to have to set the VCR tomorrow? aRE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE ON IT TOMORROW OR WAS THAT JUST FOR TODAY?

[BeatNikJackie7777]

sigh..All My Children is such a tease! It'll be years now before Bianca finally tells maggie her true feelings if she ever does. Meanwhile the stupidest storylines like this whole Vanessa/Nessa thing get all this airtime...

[Kendahl897]

OK, I'll bite . what happened . Did Maggie blow her off as usual? Just another red herring? Or are they actually gonna let this lead somewhere?

[lauriebear]

Rumor has it that the writers are going to be playing with maggie/bianca thing during Nov. and Dec and see how the audience reacts. Scared daytime writers.



However, In a article in ABC Soaps Oct 29 is on Elizabeth Hendrickson(Maggie)

She isn't afraid if things to happen between her character and Bianca.

....."When I played Frankie, I wanted she and Bianca to be the first gay couple on daytime to kiss,"..........



...."I hope that one day they do follow through with portraying a gay relationship to its fullest because I think it's very important," she points out. "It will happen sooner or later, and when it does, it will be a very liberating moment."



EH sound like a pretty cool person. Hopefully the writers will get some balls and go through with it, and we will not have another dead lesbian (Frankie was killed about a year ago. By the way....oh yeah and almost everytime Bianca is on screen she mentions her name.....hm)

[Consolata]

Sorry for the double post. well yesterday on AMC Bianca went to the boat house and she was all upset and Maggie was there. Bianca was upset about Leo (her best bud) leaving and Maggie is trying to be a friend and Bianca is going on about how she could talk to him about anything and Maggs is like I know I'm not Leo but you have me to talk to and Bianca is like you're leaving pine valley every five minutes and Maggs is like and you always talk to me and let me know you care and Bianca says how would it be if you knew how I really felt about you and she gets all mad at herself saying wrong feelings wrong people bad timing and Maggie doesn't get it and Bianca blows up and says soometimes being a friend is knowing when to back off so Maggie says fine and leaves.

Today Bianca and Erica (her mom) are talking at Mona's(grandmother) grave and realizing they have something in common. They don't want to get too close to people because they are afraid they'll get hurt and they end up hurt anyways and Bianca speaks on some of her past choices of girlfriends and says she chose them because they were safe but they couldn't give her what she needed and she's done the same thing again falling for Maggie. Erica agrees that Maggie is a dead end and advises Bianca to pretend like they never met. Bianca gets upset and then Erica suggests that maybe Bianca is transferring her feelings for Frankie onto Maggie. Bianca admits that this might be true. Then Erica tells her to stay open and that she wants her to be happy and she will meet someone and Bianca is worried now that Maggie and her won't be able to be friends.

The whole thing is twisted because they've rewritten history and made Frankie and Bianca's relationship seem like it was more than it was. I really like Bianca and Maggie (Eden and Elizabeth the actors have a great naturalness about them) but I think as a couple they have too many obstacles to overcome. Maggie straight snf not really knowing if she's being loved for who she is/Frankie's death. Though they already fight and make up like a couple. Guess we'll just have to watch and see. Cheers all.
