All My Children
What Did You Think of Pete & Colby's Computer Lesson Sex Scene on Today's All My Children?
Courtesy/TOLN
Today fans on the Internet were reacting to the sex scene on today’s episode of All My Children between Colby Chandler (Brooke Newton) and Pete Corlandt (Rob Scott Wilson).
The set up was that after the twosome hit the sheets, Colby wanted a lesson in computers or as she said to Pete, “teach me about something smart.” But while Pete began his lesson, Colby decided to perform oral sex on Pete, in what could be considered a provocative scene for long time All My Children viewers and soap opera fans in general. But was it really?
For once in soap operas, the man in the scene was shown having an orgasm when usually in a soap opera sex scene we see it from the women’s point of view. Many times the woman is the one the audience at home sees receiving sexual pleasure through a look or a sound.
So what did you think? Did AMC push the envelope to far? Did it work in the scene and was no big deal? In case you missed the scene, here it is after the jump! Watch it and then weigh-in!

It was so hot!
Dont you have air conditioning or a fan…lol
Very ‘tastefully’ done!
I loved it!
I was right there, It got me going!!
Now, that is realistic 😉
WTG PP ….!!
To me no big deal. Some people are saying that was to much but as you said if it had been Colby on camera & Pete off camera it would have been different. The only thing is on soaps you don’t see women finish. It isn’t any worse than the cursing. It is part of life & we like some real life situations on our soaps. Yeah for AMC. I expect the same type of things on both our soaps on the Net.
Wow i was getting a hard on watching the show today watching pete having fun.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I bet a lot of men did!
yeah, it’s like all my worlds converged….lol.
that’s hilarious.
—————-
if and when men have it their way.
we’d all get along that much more.
Was it the best you could do…glad im not that lonely!
TMI, dude
I didn’t mind it at all. & why should people make a big deal? No body parts were shown. Like stated usually women are shown having pleasure through intercourse so why should pleasure via a man through oral be SO different?!
Two wrongs don’t make it right..They didn’t have to show any body parts, the expression on his face tells all. I find it in very poor taste..I don’t want to see this on the soaps… I don’t want to see woman or men having pleasure on the soap opera’s quite like in that way…Leave it in the movies…
They writers went overboard on this scene. Makes me think they are desperate for viewers. They might lose viewers . I never in my day thought I would see this
crap on a soap which I have been watching for so many years. I never ever rememeber anything quite like to the extreme like this on amc in all this time.
This scene should have never been done. They had some sexy love scenes on AMC but nothing compares to this garbage.
I had no problem with the sex scene, I just hate that Pete could not see thru that gold digger Colby.
Colby so obviously is the Queen of shallow. Wow, roles like that don’t last long. She must be from the temp talent agency. I’m disappointed that little Petey boy who supposed had such feelings for someone else, caved in so easily. Will be interesting to see if he does it again once he steps back into reality. Also, if AMC writers think this is what is needed to draw loyal viewers…well, I just wonder what Agnes Nixon thought about that scene.
I have watched AMC for 40 years and this did it for me. I am done. I will not watch a show that has this type of sexual content in it. I hate to leave my favorite actors but I just can’t condone this. It is not necessary to have this kind of content to show a sexy scene. There is more to the imagination if just a suggestion is given. So sorry, I really wanted to support this show but I just can’t watch a show that has this vulgarity in it. Too much for me.
With everything going on in the world today, THIS is what you find vulgar? Get off your soapbox and join us in the real world, where there are WAY bigger issues to worry about. Enjoy Nickelodeon.
LMFAO Totally agree!!! I bet she didn’t have a problem with all the orgasms Marion received when she was screwing an 18 year old Tad. Gee Kandy can you even hear us all the way back there in the fifties??
Not everyone needs to find their entertainment watching someone have an orgasm. It was too much and sopas in spite of the sexy scenes have kept viewers engaged with storytelling and plots not with throwing in a gratuitous sex scene like this. I’m 28 and watch CNN and the real horror news every day. I enjoy gritty drama and crime shows, so saying that someone is not with the real world because they don’t want to see a scene that is way TMI and does not advance plot beyond showing Colby to be a complete idiot and Pete a person… Read more »
I like nickelodeon…good choice!!!
By the way…i live in the real world and i tune to soaps to escape the real world problems. And so when i need the real world ill shut of my tv and computer to live in it…soaps were invented for escapism…they werent meant to be real…characters are shot dead in front of us and come back to life…John and Mary divorce and remary sometimes to each other dozens of times…so there is nothing real about them! But if they are going to push the envelope this far to try to be more real then sometimes they need to show… Read more »
LOL!!! Funny Romy.
Actually I have been watching AMC since I was 21 and that was way way back in 1971. Yep, I am 62 and NOT easily shocked. Not at my age!! I have been one of the most of loyal of fans you will EVER on this planet come across. When I saw this scene, I actually laughed OUT LOUD!! The cast and crew must have been laughing so dam hard taping it, I am surprised they even got through it with a straight face!!! Was it too much.. that is a matter of who is watching it. BUT hey, me… Read more »
Kandy I so agree with you. This is going to far. I realize you can get away with more on the internet than television, but leave it to the imagination. I did not see yesterday’s show, but I know I will definitely not be tuning in. Maybe I am old fashion but bring back the old AMC for me too! I am done. I’ll stick with the Y & R, B & B and Days of Our Lives. Bye AMC it was good while it lasted.
I agree Kandy…some stuff i dont mind but i do feel its better to leave some things to the imagination…like in GWTW when Rhett carries Scarlett up those stairs…we used our imagination and it made it more enjoyable. I feel sorry for todays generation…they have to have it right there in front of them. Todays generation cant use their imagination…they dont have the brains for it!
GWTW was 74 years ago and the big controversy at the time was a character saying “damn” on screen. Hopefully, humanity has matured somewhat since then.
Bottom line when I watched this I said just now: Where’s Meg Ryan in the movie when Harry met Sally! Best scene ever in the diner with Billy Crystal. Just keep telling yourself and it is the truth this is not your Mothers soap opera anymore. What are they running a kiddie porn set over there.
I agree with her. There is no need to go so graphic, just because you can. It’s losing viewers that will stop them. It is great to see a little more edge to the show, a LITTLE more…
I think AMC lowered the bar tremendously today with a scene in poor taste. Don’t think they’ll be nominated for any awards for this one.
I agree also that it was in poor taste. It was uncalled for. Even if you didn’t see anything , his expresssion on his face tells all!
It turned me off.
I MYSELF THOUGHT IT WAS WAAAAY TOO MUCH I MEAN IT WAS JUST SICK & DISGUSTING!! NUFF SAID JUST PLAIN GROSS *RME*
Sick and Disgusting? Did you actually see Colby’s head going up and down under the covers on his gobble knob? UM NO. How many times have you see a Woman moaning in pleasure and then you see one of the male characters come up from under the covers when it was on ABC, Guess what he was not Massaging her feet!!!! But that is ok right?
I like a foot massage every now and then…lol
Well said Joliefan.
gobble knob?! LMFAO 🙂
I could have done without it. I could really do without this Colby, period. Awful in every way!
It was steamy, I liked that they showed it from the woman’s
point of view, that never happens.
Me too
Disgusting and very unnecessary. Definitely not an episode you could watch with say your mom or grandmother & definitely not with any young people around. Don’t need these kind of scenes on our soaps. This was not the AMC, I grew up watching 🙁
Mary I’m sure your mom or grandmother know exactly what Colby was doing FYI they are not virgins! Being a mom and a grandmother does not mean that they could not and were not a freak in the day!! Most young ppl know more about sex then most adults nowadays Sex is not taboo it is EVERYWHERE!! Mary how times when it was on ABC did you see one of the Female characters in bed moaning….Then you see one of the male characters come up from under the covers guess what he was not massaging her feet, Now because it… Read more »
it was too real. Not appropriate for any soap. Might as well air the soap on the play boy channel if you all want to make it look so real in the sex scenes.
that is just one of the perks of having amc online………..i didn’t have a problem with it.
alright!
No complaints here; I was surprised but not dissapointed!
It was quite hot and it didn’t bother me. I remember on the ABC version when Krystal was trying to get the lab tech to change the paternity results for Babe, we saw the lab guy zip up his fly and Krystal wipe off her lips, insinuating the exact same thing. I also remember reading in Soap Opera Digest about Kayla diving under the bathtub bubbles to please Patch while the camera zoomed in on his face on DAYS, so it’s not like this wasn’t done on network TV!
Some negative nillies conveniently forget things like that!
So… it was cleverly written… I did not need to see it. I love my imagination and I like it when I am able to combine my imagination with the written word and verbal and digital imagery and any other aspects to come together and present a … (fill in the blank)!
I am disappointed. I hoped that Pete was smart enough to see through Colby’s true agenda. I don’t like Colby at all. Pete and Celia a very cute together.
Now that I agree with I really thought he was going to throw her out…
I know some fans will complain about this scene but I’m sorry i loved it! I want my soaps to push the envolope and be more risque. Rob Wilson is just too fine!
i agree with you ron. im gay now. 21 years old. i was getting a hard on. my boyfriend and i did the same thing during all my children. rob wilson is hot hot hot. my boyfriend told me i give good head.
Wow! Online soaps are very grown up now! I miss scenes where Tara is getting advice from her Nana! Network soaps sex scenes have been pretty hot and some with the men seem to show some reaction thats good enough for me! These scenes dont really bother me but do they really need to go that far to prove a point just because its online? Actually Mary Hartman which was syndicated back in the 1970s was ahead of the game with some of the sex stuff in early episodes so this online stuff isnt exactly knew. But i feel with… Read more »
Again my awful spelling…lol
Maybe she was just licking his toes? lol
You’re too funny — perhaps she was licking his toes— don’t you think if they do scenes like this, they should have a PSA accompanying it, with Michael Douglas warning doing the following can be dangerous to your health and why- might as well educate the population while they are titillating them.
How many men did Erica Cane bed?
I lost count…lol
Tom Cudahy was my favorite.
now that i’d love to have seen.
I thought it was an absolute waste of precious storyline time. If folks want sex online it’s easier to find than fleas on a hounddog’s back. So why waste time on AMC showing us both the Flea AND the hounddog??
Waste of time.
There is a reason they don’t usually show the men’s side of the story– they don’t know how to fake it- women have years of practice so any actress can make a sex scene look realistic- IMO this just looked silly. Good for them for trying something different, but sometimes the tried and true works for a reason.
Sorry I disagree Rob should get an Emmy just for that scene! I needed a Cigarette after and I quit over a year and a half ago!
🙂 It was hot, brought out my inner cougar!
Petey faked it to perfection……….that my friend is the uproar!
Well I made my post before I knew there was an uproar— but if the majority of folks seemed to think he performed it well- I won’t argue– whatever floats your boat- its all good.
Sorry! Skipped it! Not somethig I get off on! Hope they don’t start doing alot of it! If I wanted to see that type of activity I would just watch a porn tape!
Fast forwarded. Not necessary. I liked Colby and Pete but fear I will never be able to forget that scene. I wish someone would warn me about scenes like this so I know to fast forward sooner. I only watch to support the vets. I just don’t know how much longer I can continue to do this. I feel like PP is creating trash because it can and this is creating a low quality show. It is all about getting the advertising dollars for a young audience. There is so much porn available…why would this scene bring in young viewers?… Read more »
Fear you can never forget that scene? What was it a HORRIFIC car Crash…..Don’t watch it Kate you have done nothing but BITCH and complain about everything OMG!!! Do you want some Cheese to go with your Whine? Porn? Really? LOL.
It was a story girl wants Boy Girl gets boy in bed gobbles his knob as boy teaches girl all about Computers…..
The question was “How did you feel about the sex scene?” I answered honestly. All you are doing is whining and complaining about my answer. Would you like some cheese to go with your whine. Grow up and accept the fact that your opinion is not the only opinion! Looking at the other responses, it appears that many people agree with me.
Cheese really isnt good for you unless its a lowfat kind…i love red wine.
All the men Erica had in and out of bed were stories for most of AMC’s yearsa on ABC. I remember lots of racey scenes. Why is it more acceptable for a soap to show a woman’s face during the act being pleasured and not a man’s….that seems to be the issue her.
If Pete disappeared and we watched Colby fake the orgasm, it would still be an issue for me. I would rather have my imagination working from when they enter the bedroom to the laying in bed with the after glow. If people want to get off by watching these kind of scenes, they should google porn. There is plenty of porn to be scene, I am sure they can find something they would like.
I thought it was too long and too graphic for a soap opera.
wow.
Nothing shocking with this scene it’s fine, soaps are for adults after all all.
Not really….they try to aim soaps at a young audience for better advertising rates. What 12 year old needs to see this kind of filth? I‘m 31 and I don‘t need to see two strangers rolling around in bed doing their best porno faces on All My Children.
There is sex everywhere! Do you think 12 year olds are watching Sesame Street on MTV come on now! Reality shows please! The one Real World I think in Seattle filmed a LESBIAN munch fest from outside the bathroom window……Pete and Colby are not Strangers and they were not rolling around in bed doing there best porno faces! Rob deserves an EMMY just for that scene!
But they need the support of the next generation and its not going to happen in my house…some friends asked about the reboots and i told them theyve gone downhill. They wont watch.
HOT!! MORE PLEASE.
I thought it was too much, just because they can push the envelope doesn’t mean they have to.. after they rolled over in better after doing it, that should have been it. I like to see the sweet love scenes,I don’t need to see an orgasm. I was watching Y&R with my niece the other day,and she asked me if AMC was sill on, I hate that she can’t watch it anymore with me.
My only problem with it was that Pete should’ve kicked Colby to the curb for the way she always treated him! Hopefully, he will still do that after his hormones have subsided…lol.
Very hot! And I’m glad Colby was the one they showed! Very racy of AMC, and so glad they are using their advantage of being online now.
I agree with most people here, it was way too graphic for a soap opera. Prospect Park pushed the envelope too far on this one. I’ll just stick with OLTL, it’s edgy, but no where near as edgy as AMC. I’ll be surprised if Susan Lucci returns. WOW!!
Actually you agree with the minority on this page MOST ppl like it or have no problem with it!
Im no prude but this is the reason i wont watch and support it.
Exactly, it was way to graphic for a soap opera. Hell, I haven’t seen that type of scenes in too many R rated movies, or cable primetime shows. It was a long scene too and I was blown away. I knew they wanted the shows to be edgier, bolder, and sexier, but still need to maintain the integrity and sophistication of the shows that have been on the air for over 40 years. Glad there are others here who agree with my perspective.
jim, I think it was a waste of storytime minutes, but it wasn’t that bad. Erica did the same thing with Phil Brent waaaaaaaaaay back. Now THAT I remember – first time I’d ever seen anything like that on television. And frankly what Colby and Pete did was tame by comparision to most. Again, I could have done without it, with a show that’s only 19 minutes long to begin with, for me it was precious time wasted. But how can you judge something you haven’t seen? How can you diss something you won’t watch? And by not watching you’re… Read more »
I just don‘t understand why this kind of thing is necessary. It doesn‘t advance the plot, it is embarrassing to watch…I can only imagine how the actors felt having to perform it. It just makes me laugh that show biz producers ACTUALLY think that this kind of thing is a) provocative b) titillating c) what the audience wants d) quality entertainment. I‘m more concerned that the character of Colby has been made so vapid and strange. Colby and Pete were once a couple with a lot of rooting value and historical importance on the show.
I agree 100%
No they weren’t she used him then just like she is using him now! Get your facts Straight dude!
Well said…its a turnoff.
The only thing disturbing about that was her fingernails. The rest – Bravo.
Some @allmychildren fans are in an uproar over the Colby (@BrookeNewton ) & Pete (@MrRobertScott ) sex scene.
Some are calling the scene porn. Well all I am gonna say to that is this. If you think that sex scene on #AMC was porn, then you must never have seen an actual porn scene before.
I highly suggest that you never do because what you saw on #AMC pales in comparison in what is in porn & me thinks your hearts couldn’t take it.
Peace
LOL that was not even close to porn..
The people who are making comments as that have never seen porn and should just be silent, they look silly naking comments as that..
I have seen porn. There is soft porn and there is hard core porn. If we would have seen body parts, it would be porn. That scene is just a step away from what I would call porn. I didn’t like the scene and when will we start seeing body parts. So far we have been subjected to cursing because they can and not really needed which makes the scenes awkward. Now we we are getting these long drawn out sex scenes that are not necessary. Our soaps use to be classy. That scene was ridiculous. I hope people stop… Read more »
It was TMI for me. I am not a prude, but I don’t see throwing sex in there when the plot purpose was neglient and it was graitutious. I see it as a writing copout versus edgy. Have some plot development – use it to get a story going. Yes I know sex is in the soaps, but for the first time I felt uncomfortable watching this and I know my mom did too and she is not some old school person who cannot handle change. It was just unnecessary. It made Colby look like a slut and Pete a… Read more »
I completely agree. I am not a prude by any means, but I just do not understand why this was necessary.
Actually, it was not much of anything, not for the internet ..
considering it could have been full nudity with the whole scene on our screens very explicit in detail, it was well below anything to oww n awww over; it was ”Pete’s pleasure face” with sound, is all that was shown..
Really, cable tv sex is way more involved in detail than Pete’s face ..
(( and yet the ones who are freaking out over the scene watched it all to complain about it lol lol ..
all 1 minute of it.
I thoroughly enjoyed that full minute.
what goes on behind closed doors… and/or one’s bedroom is one’s right. Explore.
however, opening the lines of communication… is what we all hope to gain from.
I certainly understand the generational thing.
I have no problem with scenes like this airing. It was well-publicized that this version of the shows would be racier than the previous ones. Plus, it totally goes with an older, sexier Pete. As for Colby, this version of her is really annoying, especially since when we last saw her, she had grown up considerably and was being a responsible young adult. Why the regression. But, back to the sex. At her age, this is exactly how she’d be acting, so it is an accurate portrayal of two hot for each other young 20-somethings.
I agree with you. I also have issues with people talking about the swearing on the show. I am sorry, but they now talk like real people and real teen agers. I am not saying all adults swear, but most people say an occasional “Hell” or “Damn” versus “Heck” and “Darn”. As for the teens on the show, most of the teens I know swear and I don’t think they are over the top with their swearing. It’s sounds more like real life.
Personally it was alright with me but my grandkids watch with me sometimes and when it gets that personal, maybe a warning would be nice! It was way too much for kids.
soaps are for Adults.. They are full of adult content, too much for children..
AMC is not a traditional soap, any longer..
It has evolved and is now on the uncensored internet, kids should not be watching with g’ma..
maybe when you have your g’kids you could watch the soap in the evening, HULU is a 24 hour viewing tool. 🙂
Actually, soaps are not just for adults. How do you think soaps got to be as legendary as they are? Most of the time, it is through family tradition, watching it with your grandkids or kids when they hit preteens, usually. AMC should not be some uncensored garbage just because it is on the internet, it should uphold the same standards it did on television, otherwise it is no longer All My Children, it is just internet trash.
I didnt feel it was necessary. Generational thing because my adult children loved it. They grew up watching amc and they enjoy the online version.I prefer the traditional amc but I understand to get younger viewers to watch this is what has to be done.
Ohhhhhh, that lucky, lucky LUCKY girl!!! *sigh*
“I’ve been to the rodeo”.
and did you ride the big horse, Patrick?
I cannot believe people actually ENJOYED watching these scenes. First off, this is not Gossip Girl, All My Children is supposed to be a legendary soap opera, known for pursuing the controversial topics with class and intelligence. Viewers should not be subjected to watching an oral sex scene, especially one that is so absurd- this “actor” and his reactions were ridiculous. I just do not understand the reasoning behind this trash.
Again – did you stop watching AMC when Erica gave Phil Brent a blow job back in early days of the show. Cuz she did, and the only difference between what we saw with Pete and Colby is that Phil didn’t say ANYTHING. Erica moved down his body until her head disappeared from the screen, and then did his eyes light up! I was really surprised when I saw that, but that was back in 1975 or 76 – loooooooooooong time ago. Some folks are finding fault – and gleefully so – to such an extent that it seems more… Read more »
I would have much preferred watching Phil – “…and then did his eyes light up”.
yeehaw! LOL… sounds like a proverb.
in the beginning of time…
alas, alas… and so it was.
Loved it! AMC is firing on all cylinders (though I want more Dixie).
My problem is they are going too far to get viewers and all the viewers want is good acting and good storyline for their favorite actors. I ff’d this scene, because I don’t need to see that. If amc wants to get younger viewers this isn’t going to do it, they aren’t necessarily attracted to this. While going for the younger audience with this stuff PP is making it so that most adults turn it off for one reason or another. Give us romance (a nice hot love scene is ok), good story and you will get the viewers. Keep… Read more »
AMC does have good acting and storylines. It was a sex scene so they made it sexy. I’m happy they’re not playing it safe. People don’t give soaps a chance because they think they’re too old fashined. Stop being such a prude.
I’m sorry I’m not a prude. Have you ever heard of less is more? I don’t have to see Petey get a blow job, it wasn’t necessary. The sex and afterglow was enough. Why did they need to take it farther than that? It didn’t do a thing for the storyline. They did it because they wanted to be edgy. Well I’m sorry sex scenes like this doesn’t make a good show, good writing and acting does. No amount of explicit sex is going to make me watch but a damn well written story will along with good acting. So… Read more »
I agree with you – they had to throw in a sexy scene because the Writing is so unbelievably poor and weak – guess that they had to do something. It’s a real TURN OFF to those of us who loved the show for years and years….and years. I also agree that LESS is more – we get the point, we are not fools, we understand that Colby is hot on the trail for Petey, we’re not idiots. You know, I was really elated at the thought that ALL MY CHILDREN would return. I don’t know what the heck this… Read more »
THE SCENE WAS A LIITLE MUCH !! AS A “GUY” I SUDDENLY COULDN’T FINISH THE BANANA I WAS HAVING WITH MY CORN FLAKES AS I WATCHED !! LOL!
I take it that you watch the soaps at breakfast time like I do, I waited till after Petey was done before I ate my banana, my eyes to busy watching what was going on to eat. LOL
I liked the sex scene, it was great..
I can see some have never watched cable tv, it is full of much more graphic sex then a blow job face lol ..
Some people never came out of 50’s and should stick to ‘Leave it to Beaver lol ..
Being the soaps are on the internet I love that they are taking a wee-bit of leeway and giving us some adult content (still much less than cable) since I am an adult living in the 21st century, I think it is wonderful to see realistic soaps!
It was pretty hot…however you couldn’t tell if the actor was in pain or pleasure!
Maybe Colby was just pricking his feet and all these prudes on here are imagining the unspeakable! Get your minds out of the trash!
I thought it was the funniest thing on TV, and I did not see anything wrong with it. It was not like you can actually see what she was doing to him. It is all in the imagination.
some are freaking out over Pete’s face.. lol All we saw was Pete’s face having a hot very welcomed time.. Why some make a mountain out of an ant hill is crazy.. Pete has a porn face aha haaaa.. It is an now an internet soap.. certain people have to deal with that fact if they can not, then they should shut up and tun out.. lol This is what it is now, it is a 21st century internet media soap.. It has great stories!!! I really like the stories, they are awesome. and the 30 second hot scene is… Read more »
I keep seeing these comments about “not the AMC I remember” but as far as I can remember back to about 1980 (when I was old enough to remember and imitate TV), it’s been pretty saucy with some pretty explicit scenes. I think the author hit the nail on the head that it is just a different perspective, watching the man vs the woman being put under the microscope. I’ve seen FAR steamier love scenes over the years on AMC. Selective memories here, apparently!
When these soaps were on abc everyone was grateful to have their soaps…no one said it needed cussing or more graphic sex scenes…it was all about the story…it was all we needed to be entertained…but now its online sex and cursing some fans feel is all these show needs 4 improvement? Without well written storylines and character connections to engage a majority of viewers those fans and those who object to the racier content will eventually stop watching…is that what you want…some cussing and bedroom scenes are fine but because its online these reboots go overboard with it instead of… Read more »
All My Children was a disaster during the last 10 years on ABC. It no more resembled the show at its best than a duck resembles a swan. The character of the show had been jettisoned, families decimated, veteran characters destroyed or written off, our of character behavior by the few ones remaining – the show was pretty horrible. Liza’s pool table sex, Stuart’s murder, Tad’s “son”, Dixie’s death by pancakes, the horrid, show-destroying Careys and Laverys and Greenlee, all eating the show alive – and this is what you thought was GOOD? Did you even watch AMC at all… Read more »
I only watched the last ten years on occasion…yes it was bad…the late 70s to late 80s the show was at its best…the reboot is slightly better than amcs last two years…adding cuss words and a little more love scenes doesnt make a show better…im not totally against it…im just saying its not as addictive or interesting to me when i started to watch over 30 years ago…that still could change but its not there for me at the moment…i have nothing against you or any fan who do like it at the moment…maybe in the future ill feel the… Read more »
Yes, I agree 100%. Way too graphic for a soap opera. I don’t like how they’ve trashed these shows on the internet. I know they want to push the boundaries, but they haven’t done a great job of telling the stories. It’s much shorter and it’s only broadcast twice per week. I’m sorry, but if this continues, these shows will be cancelled. I wish they were back on abc.
Thanks for the reply…i agree with yoy 100%.
pretty heavy but it is internet, only thing is that usually teens watch during summer , so many on soaps now, t,hey did it tastefully could have dimmed lights

All My Children Alum Ben Jörgensen Reportedly Dead At 51
According to his former All My Children castmate, Brian Gaskill. there is sad news in the soap world today. Ben Jörgensen who played Kevin on All My Children and Chris on As the World Turns passed away on Tuesday at the age of 51, apparently via suicide, although unconfirmed as to his cause of death.
Gaskill, who played Bobby Warner while in Pine Valley shared via his Instagram: “Sad news to report. Ben Jörgensen who played Kevin Sheffield on All My Children has past away at 51 years old. My understanding is it was suicide. I have heard he suffered from Bipolar disorder but as I have not spoke to him in years I do not know all the details. I just want to remember the good times we had on the set of All My Children 24 years ago. He was a good guy and had the courage to play a gay teenager on tv back when it was nowhere near as common to have representation as it is today. He was part of an award winning storyline…but mostly we just had some good times back then…my condolences go out to his friends and family. Please everybody hang in there and reach out for help if you need it. ”
Since the time of Brian’s posting, friends, colleagues and fans have been posting tributes and condolences on the actor’s Facebook page. You can view that here.
In this heartbreaking photo below from Steven Bergman, during his time on As the World Turns, Ben is pictured with the late Nathaniel Marston, as well as Jaime Nicole Dudney and Terri Conn.

On All My Children, Ben was part of the important social issue storyline brought into the ABC legacy soap opera by the iconic Agnes Nixon, who was always trying to move the needle forward in daytime, as the character of Kevin was a gay high school student facing bullying, ridicule and discrimination for his sexuality.

Michael B. Jordan Pays Tribute To Chadwick Boseman: “Since Nearly The Beginning Of My Career, Starting with All My Children When I was 16 Years Old You Paved The Way For Me”
Following the news of the tragic death of now motion picture icon, Chadwick Boseman late Friday, tributes and sentiments have poured in from celebrities, politicians and fans from all across the world.
Chadwick Boseman passed away late last week at the age of 43 from colon cancer – a battle he kept silent about for the last four years of life.

No one could be more intertwined with Boseman’s career than that of his fellow Black Panther star, Michael B. Jordan. For Jordan took over the role of Reggie Porter on All My Children from Boseman after the late actor lasted one week, following standing up to, and addressing concerns, of racial stereotypes in the way that the part was written. Reggie was introduced to Pine Valley as a gang member in 2003. As previously reported it was Boseman who helped the soap opera improve the role that Jordan took over with some recommendations.
Now Michael B. Jordan has written a heartfelt remembrance of Chadwick that he shared on his Instagram, and what he has meant to his life, including how he showed him how to be better, to honor purpose and create legacy.
Read below Michael’s post:
“I’ve been trying to find the words, but nothing comes close to how I feel. I’ve been reflecting on every moment, every conversation, every laugh, every disagreement, every hug…everything.
I wish we had more time.
One of the last times we spoke, you said we were forever linked , and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with All My Children when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me. You showed me how to be better, honor purpose, and create legacy. And whether you’ve known it or not…I’ve been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness.
I wish we had more time.
Everything you’ve given the world … the legends and heroes that you’ve shown us we are … will live on forever. But the thing that hurts the most is that I now understand how much of a legend and hero YOU are. Through it all, you never lost sight of what you loved most. You cared about your family , your friends, your craft, your spirit. You cared about the kids, the community, our culture and humanity. You cared about me. You are my big brother, but I never fully got a chance to tell you, or to truly give you your flowers while you were here.
I wish we had more time.
I’m more aware now than ever that time is short with people we love and admire. I’m gonna miss your honesty, your generosity, your sense of humor, and incredible gifts. I’ll miss the gift of sharing space with you in scenes. I’m dedicating the rest of my days to live the way you did. With grace, courage, and no regrets. “Is this your king!?” Yes . he . is! Rest In Power Brother.”
