On this weeks edition of MORE AMC, the executive producer of All My Children, Ginger Smith spoke with the Friday series about the decision to push the envelope in the now infamous sex scene between Pete Corlandt (Rob Scott Wilson) and Colby Chandler (Brooke Newton) in which Colby asks Pete to teach her about computer’s while they are in bed together after a romp.

Next think you know, Pete is being given oral sex from Colby, and in first for soaps, we see the moment from the man’s perspective.  Ginger reveals that the series intentionally left a lot to the imagine!

Later in the MORE Show, Vincent Irizarry (David) who was interviewed for a segment, praises Rob Scott Wilson, who he says really “sold” the moment to the cameras.  But what happened when they yelled “Cut!”?  Well, to see the exclusive moment and footage check out the MORE Show, but to suffice to say, you will see Rob Scott Wilson’s reaction after his on-screen performance of the “computer lesson”.

Watch this week’s MORE AMC episode after the jump! Let us know what you thought of the scene, and Rob’s reaction afterwards! And now that Colby has slept with both David and Pete, what do you think will happen next for the vixen? Weigh-in below!

I AM 58 YRS OLD- AND I NOT ONLY LOVED THIS SCENE WITH PETE ( &COLBY) HAVING AN “ORGASM” FROM ORAL SEX- I ALSO DID NOT MIND THE CURSING –BUT I GUESS THE MAJORITY OF PPL ARE TOO OLD FASHIONED–LOL!

Im an old geezer(53) who isnt offended being old fashion…i cant help being a classy guy with morals…i was born that way. Well, i got to go…’Leave It To Beaver’ is on and its the episode where Ward talks to Beaver about the ‘birds and the bees’, then later Beaver learns his mother June got stung by a bee and tells his brother Wally that he thinks their mother is pregnant. lol

OOPS! that was from the 1950s when you couldnt say pregant…i should have said expecting…sorry about that.

I am a faithful viewer since returning and honestly the cursing and the sexual scene did not bother me at all. All I said was WOW!! I guess a lot are old school but times have changed.

Thats what we teach our young today…just hop in the bed with whoever you want…no love, no romance, no worry about sexually transmitted diseases or aids…times have changed-for the worse!!!

OUCH! I wouldnt want to be an actor doing that kind of scene and hear some director yell ‘CUT’!…it would give me nightmares of John and Lorena Bobbit!!! lol

Pete and Colby’s BJ scene broke through TO the way of 21st century soaps, it will go down in soap history !! AWESOME!!

Most all loved the openness of the reality that PP’s writers are giving us!!

PP is bring it home!!!!

and I’m telling PP …… BRING IT ON!!!

Too much openess in my opinion.. I wouldn’t let my teens watch that. It sends out the wrong message to our young people. Which is to follow the crowd and that it ok and everyone is doin it. You don’t have to follow the crowd to be cool!

Same here Susan…my families dont take their teens to r rated movies so theyr not going to watch r rated soaps together. if the tone it down just a tad to a more acceptable pg13 maybe they would watch together…some people 4get thats how soaps got more people to watch…people with their children…these types of shows need the next generation to continue into the future.

This will go down in history as a big mistake by PP. Why don’t you just watch porn? I don’t understand why you feel it is necessary to have those kind of scenes in our soaps. I wish PP would focus on good storylines and stop trying to “shock” the world. The most popular soap right now is Downton Abbey. Lots of story, few sex scenes which are tastefully done. Oh yea, PP just wants to attract the young immature high advertising dollar demographic. Quality has nothing to do with it.

I loved the Pete/Colby sex scene. It was sexy and just edgy enough. Some people say it was porn but they are being overdramatic. There is a difference between a scene being racy and being pornographic. A lot of soap fans are out of touch. The writers and actors should push the envolope and have more freedom to be bold with storytelling if they want even if they do ruffle some feathers.

I can agree that they should tackle certain storylines but a b.j. moment and showing the mans or womans reaction afterwards isnt a storyline and does absolutely nothing for the plot. Had Celia walked in maybe…but it isnt going to captivate more fans and make them tune in tomorrow. For me it was just a filler moment and all it did was drag things out.

I didn’t mind the scene but don’t like what they’ve done to Colby’s character. Also, I’m afraid scenes like this will keep parents from letting their kids watch. The problem is that we need those young ones to be the future generation watching.

I didn’t think the scene was necessary, sorry. We get that she is hot on the trail for Petey, it’s fairly obvious.
I also agree with Lin that I don’t understand what happened to the character of Colby. I thought she had matured and grown as a character, and now the writers have regressed her character to the town tramp – she used to have several layers to her personality and now she’s this vacuous self-absorbed young gal. Do the writers understand the past lives of these characters at ALL? It sure doesn’t seem like they do.

It also did not show anyone using birth control or concerned about “STD”s etc. I liked his after reaction that they showed us better than the scene. Did not particularly like the scene but the whole personality of Colby I don’t like.

The fact that I don’t care for profanity or simulated BJs on soaps does not make me “old fashioned” or a prude. I just think that certain things should be left to the viewer’s imagination. For me, soaps have always been about romance, mystery, intrigue and the complex relationships among family and friends. Stories told with class and elegance. And btw, if these shows are supposed to be so “current” and “realistic”, why isn’t the gay community being represented more prominently? So far, all I’ve seen is AMC’s Bianca. I think that that’s great, but from what I’ve heard, ER is only a recurring player, and in the interest of reality, there should be more of a gay presence in both Pine Valley and Llanview. PP should get their priorities in order.

Good comments…i feel the same way…to be ‘current’ and ‘realistic’ where are the Japanese American families or even an American Indian couples…not there at all plus to be ‘real’ there should be no more plotlines of people returning from the dead, sneaking in hospitals to switch paternity test(unless someone pays a dr. or nurse to do it…that could be possible) and characters who marry more than two or three times, especially those who keep remarring ex spousee…twice ok but more than that is just plain crazy. I dont mind any of that but im just saying if people want realism than stop the far fetched story plots. Soaps were meant to be fantasy and escapism…a time for us to escape the real world once or five times a week. If people want realism they shouldnt watch soaps, and just turn off the tv or laptop and go outside where the can get all the realism they want. i like using my imagination…it makes me see different outcomes any way i want and thats more fun.

ITA–Soap operas are not supposed to be about the real world. Another World use to begin with the saying ” we do not live in this world alone, but in thousand other worlds.” And when asked what that meant the creator of this soap said it represented the difference between ” the world of events we live in and the world of feelings and dreams we strive for.”
This lady knew soaps– it is about provoking emotion, letting us explore our feelings in fictional stories. We should laugh, cry, swoon and fume, and when the show is over we click off whatever device we are watching and go back to our real lives, feeling emotionally satisfied.
And for me that trouble with scenes like this one there is no emotion. I would like my emotions aroused not my genitals and that is why it is border line porn. But I could even over look graphic nature of it, if I actually was emotionally invested in these characters and their relationship- but soaps, not just this one, have forgotten about romance.
Romance allows us to get emotionally connected to the characters. Love scenes used to be about making love, now it is about hooking up. Soap writers treat us like we are children and we have to see what is going on to know, but the reason love stories used to work so well on soaps in the old days is they actually had them fall in love before sex and then when the sex came, they let us fill in the blank, which was ultimately a lot more emotionally satisfying and powerful that anything any writer or actor could show me. The world of fantasy.
And was the point of watching to have my emotions turned on by using my imagination to get sweep away — to live for hour in another world.

RIP — Another Word– fourteen years ago you were cancelled, but not forgotten.

Mary SF thanks 4 reply…i wish more people would see it that way…i so agree with you 100%. Having to see everything now (like we dont have brains to know whats happening) is just as bad as spoilers…it takes away the suspense and fun of using our imagination.

Yes you are all right, they need more diverse characters if they’re so interested in bringing the storylines into the 21st Century.

They need to do a story involving a Bisexual Eskimo.

Are there really bisexual eskimos, Johnny? Are there gay eskimos? i dont even recall any coming out of the closet…that sure would be a soap opera first…a bisexual eskimo…by the way do igloos even have closets?

I didn’t care for the scene between Pete and Colby. That story line didn’t impress me at all. Call me old fashion .. I hope that doesn’t happen again. Once was enough. Too explicit… Even if you didn’t see anything. It’s love in the afternoon not lust in the afternoon.

I agree…whatever happened to good old fashion romance…i want to see Luke and Laura dance once again in that empty department store.

Before or after he raped her?

Jovin, i was talking about types of scenes id like to see…i prefer romance over sex scenes and especially NOT rape!

i wish it was me on my knees. having fun with pete. lol. that was a good scene. hopefully we see alot more soon. pete is hot. i want him now. i will pleasure him now. oh i cant. i have a boyfriend. oh well it was a thought. ok maybe threesome will work. lighten up people. we live in 2013. if you dont like it. simply do not watch.

Just dont forget there is STD’s and aids is still out there Lorenzo, even in 2013!!!
And if these soaps are going this far they need to teach its young crowd both sides of the story…not only there is pleasure but there are many RISKS as well!

I thought the scene was vividly exposing a wonderful and aspiring actor in Rob. As for Colby, she’s a bit too much for me to appreciate. However, AMC is pushing the evnvelope , as they say, which will help their ratings; just tone down the sex expressions Rob and leave us wanting more.

Sandy, no disrespect to you but times have changed. Yes it was a 1st for the soap world but we have to follow change and besides we are all adults. I think everyone is just blowing it out of proportion.

I think it’s important to remember that the key to longevity with soaps (as opposed to other popular dramas that fade away after 5-10 years of going strong when their audience “graduates” from them, including every primetime drama ever…) is that “we” traditionally have NOT “all” been adults. We’ve been kids as young as 9 or 10 not even understanding 100% of what we were seeing (because it wasn’t too graphic) sitting watching with parents, babysitters, older siblings, nanies, and grandparents and growing into passionate viewers ourselves, who later will help pass it down to their children. When a show is “not for children” (and BJs, kids saying profanity to their parents faces, and too much profanity in general are not things parents voluntarily sit down to watch with their kids, no matter how “real” it is) then it’s not multi-generational. And it’s the multi-generational, adults and older teens getting kids hooked at a young age, aspect of soaps that is why the most successful soaps are on for 40, 50, 60+ years at a time. I have no doubt that AMC can get buzz with scenes like this (or OLTL’s onscreen drug use) and get a lot of heat the way primetimes shows like NYPD BLUE and SCANDAL do (and both are great shows). But even the edgiest, best, “hottest” primetime shows in this situation fade away in 10 or so years whilst soaps carry on with a new group sharing with a new group. That’s what you miss when you make soaps more profane, more explicit, or more vulgar–they becomes shows that moms love, but wait to watch until after their kids have gone to bed, ESPECIALLY when they are Web shows and especially when they are only once a week, instead of being shows that Moms watch with their kids and bond over.

I agree somewhat, because I do remember when Y&R first came on the scene it was considered pretty racy in comparison to the more traditional soaps of the day, like Guiding Light. As Y&R became popular with the younger set, which I was at the time, late teens, others soaps started adopted its more racy topics.

However, Y&R was a brand new soap, it had no former fan base to adhere to, it could break convention at the time without too much fuss. If this scene had happened on a new web soap, not based on a what a former soap I don’t think it or even the swearing would have stirred the pot. But when you got a former fan base that wants to pass their beloved soap to their daughters and sons, it becomes hard to do when said soap is almost a completely different product

I know PP did a good thing but saving these soaps, but they have to decide which audience they want– the more traditional soap fan base, or be like Y&R in its day and capture a whole new group and bring them on board. I think they tried to pleased both groups with mixed results.

I am perfectly fine with the sex scenes. This is a new era for soaps and not the 1970’s. The real credit for selling the scenes goes to Colby. She plays sexy, smart, manipulative and fun extremely well, and not just the sex scenes. All her scenes are acted well. She is a huge reason I am watching the show. It helps that she is a babe too!!

The 1970s was the last great era for the soaps with the best storylines and writers such as Bill Bell, Harding Lemay, Henry Sleazar, and so many more. There were dozens of soaps and ratings were extremely high for most. And people had sex and cussed back then but it wasnt needed on the soaps…they had compelling character driven storylines to draw us in…they didnt have to show a sex scene or say ‘shit’ to attract an audience. The shows even felt more real…when characters were killed off most stayed dead, weddings were weddings with few interuptions and families dealt with family drama like alcholism, rebellious children, illnesses and death. Some tapes that still exsists prove how so much better the 1960s to 1970s was compared to any other decade of soaps from the 1950s to the present. Many like todays more explicit content…i dont mind if others like it but i dont…i dont need a sex lesson and i dont watch others in reallife do things that are supposed to be private moments in their homes so i dont feel it belongs on soaps…soap people are like family and i dont watch my family in there most private moments. Thats not being prudish…im just an adult with morals and good taste.

This isn’t daytime’s first onscreen foray with orgasms, I can recall a sex scene with Deacon and Brooke on the Bold and Beautiful several years ago and that definitely was racier!!! I thought my TV was going to burst into flames!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! Let me reiterate my comment. I am not saying I approve of the sex scenes that I see displayed on the return of our fav shows. I am only saying that we are adults and if it is too much for you do not watch. Yes TV is a bad influence but if you don’t like the new age stay in Stone Age. Lets jeep it real everyone is making a big deal out of a sex scene.

I’m sorry but when have SOAP’s been without gratuitous sex? There has always been lots sex in soaps. There have always been people having sex with random people on SOAP’s no love or commitment involved. And to be honest we didn’t see anything all we saw was Pete the rest was left up to the imagination so if you are shocked and or embarrassed blame your own dirty thoughts LOL!. What we saw or didn’t see is a lot less than we see quiet often on SOAP’s during a normal sex scene. It wasn’t the sex that bothered people it was the kind of sex they were having that made people uncomfortable.

can somebody tell me in what episode that scene ?

‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans

Published

The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.

The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.

As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN

Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”

As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”

Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini.  “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’  We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”

Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”

“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”

THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS

All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.

Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.

Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.

So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority.  Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
