If you have begun to tune back in or are long-time followers of All My Children this week many stories collide and secrets and revelations come to light!  First, Marissa admits to JR she has feelings for Bianca! David and Jane get closer and we see David knows where Dixie is! Amanda decides to come clean with Jake about her affair with JR! And that is just for starters.

Looks like Lorraine Broderick and Agnes Nixon are in high-gear with just a few months left of air shows to give AMC fans an exciting conclusion on ABC come September 23rd, and then hopefully kick it up a notch further as the show departs network television and lands on the Internet in their new home.

Watch this week’s All My Children promo after the jump and let us know how you feel about these stories, and what you would still like to see happen to the folks in Pine Valley before it wraps on network television!

Maybe I am a cynic but would Amanda really get a haircut in the midst of anguishing over STDs, potential cancer and cheating on Jake? I think not. Also: not flattering. In better news, I am not surprised David is linked to the Dixie story but still excited about it.

I have to say that I’m very surprised at how quickly they’re moving forward with the Bianca/Marissa pairing. I thought they’d drag that out until September.

I was also pleasantly surprised that David is involved with the Dixie storyline. That should be fun.

I came back to AMC a month ago due to the Minx story and I haven’t been disappointed yet. If they can keep up this steady, but not too quick pace, and keep it complex and character driven, I will be pleased. That goes for the show as a whole too. Well done Agnes and Lorraine!

I quite like Amanda’s haircut; it suits her.

Love Bianca and Marissa. Glad it’s progressing well rather than drag it out. Not much time left on broadcast.

Also looking forward to Dixie being back. Ramifications for Tad, Cara, JR, AJ, David and others on the periphery. Glad for Broderick & Nixon’s return to the helm.

Billy Miller Memorial Scholarship Endowment Created at His Alma Mater to Help Others ‘Realize Their Dreams’

Two months since three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor, Billy Miller passed away, the beloved All My Children (ex-Richie), General Hospital (ex-Jason/Drew) and The Young and the Restless (ex-Billy) star, will now have a permanent scholarship endowment in his honor at the University of Texas at Austin which was Miller’s alma mater.

Through the scholarship, it will be able to help radio/television and film undergraduate students with financial need. Billy’s family and friends have established this permanent scholarship in his memory, naming it the William Jon Miller II “Billy Miller” Memorial Scholarship. They hope the endowment will be a legacy to his life and love of acting.

Before becoming soap-famous, Billy graduated from the the university’s department of Radio-Television-Film (RTF) at the Moody College of Communication. On its official website, they shared the news of this special memorial scholarship and how Miller died at the age of 43 after surrendering his life to bipolar depression, which he struggled with his whole life.

Megan Hubbell, Billy’s sister, expressed, “We want something positive to be held in his name in perpetuity through the University he loved. He would be honored to know that even in death, he can help someone else realize their dreams.”

She added how she hoped her immensely talented brother will be remembered: “I hope BJ (as Billy was known by to his friends and family) is remembered for the kind-hearted, silly, funny, goofy, generous, beautiful soul that he was His megawatt smile, deep belly laugh and gorgeous mug were gifts on screen, but his true self was a bright light that will be carried with us forever.”

According to Miller’s family, Billy had his picks of schools and UT was his first choice. When he first came to the university, Billy started in the zoology program before switching to radio-television-film, where he felt he belonged. Miller was one of just 20 students at the time accepted into the department’s prestigious production-sequence program.

“BJ was extremely proud to be a Texas Longhorn and always remembered his time there fondly,” Hubbell said. “The time he spent at UT allowed him the space to explore who he wanted to be and what he wanted to accomplish.”

In honoring her brother’s work and strength to persevere in the often heartbreaking world of entertainment, Megan related: “I always admired the guts it took to go after a dream in Hollywood that so many people tried to discourage. He heard, ‘You’ll never make it’ more times than I care to count, but he used those comments as fuel and said, ‘Watch me.’”

Miller’s roles went far beyond those on daytime soap operas, as throughout his career he played major parts in primetime’s Suits, Ray Donovan and Castle to name but a few.

In his death, Billy’s family is encouraging people to take stock of their own mental health. “BJ would want anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts to seek professional help,” Hubbell said. “Do not suffer in silence or try to muscle through on your own. Mental health is vitally important and shouldn’t be spoken about in silos behind closed doors but rather in open forums with open arms. Shame has no place in the discussion to seek help.”
