Daniel Kennedy Lays it All On the Line!
AMC's Pete Cortlandt, Daniel Kennedy, really lays it all on the line in this no holds barred interview with ironically, a newspaper called OurPrattville, out of Prattville, AL. Ironic because Mr. Pratt, AMC's now former Headwriter, is a subject that comes up often. Check out the interview by clicking here.

COMMENTARY: The Destruction of Aidan Devane
This commentary contains spoilers for this weeks shows.
As the news hit last week that Head Destroyer, Charles Pratt Jr. had been shown the door, a collective sigh was heard all around the Pine Valley universe. The poster child for all that is wrong with AMC has finally been given the boot. Thanksgiving came early for Pine Valley fans! It makes me feel hopeful for the future of this show that I love.
But, until that new day dawns, we still have his final destruction to deal with. Even if his ouster was immediate, that leaves us with roughly 3-4 weeks of his work yet to air. And in there is the destruction of Jake and Amanda. The destruction of Aidan. The destruction (again) of Zach and Kendall. And too many other minor atrocities to get into. From my own point of view, I would say the most heinous of these crimes is the destruction of Aidan.
Why? Because everything Aidan has done of late is completely out of his character. Aidan has always been a stand up guy, on the side of good whether that good was only in his eyes. The things he's done have always been understandable, or at the very most a little questionable. Like when he went to stay at Oak Haven to keep an eye on Annie. He loved Annie and he did end up saving her from the evil that was Dr. Sinclair. But all his plotting to get Kendall? We're supposed to believe that Aidan suddenly realized he never stopped loving Kendall? That his love and marriage to Greenlee was nothing? That his love and protection of Annie was a pit stop on his way back to Kendall? Seriously? And being the cool special ops guy that he is, he has all kinds of things at his disposal to help him with his ultimate goal.... living
happily ever after with Kendall. HUH?
Aidan easily stole a laptop out of a police car that had one of those newfangled batteries that never runs out of power so that Kendall and Zach and communicate with each other. Apparently the cop computer wasn't equipped with a GPS, as you'd think they would be. He's got a friend who runs a boarding house who has no other tenants, conveniently, so he and Kendall can hide out there indefinitely. Said bordering house friend has all kinds of trick up her own tattooed sleeve. She knows how to intercept outgoing and incoming messages between Zach and Kendall so she and Aidan can rewrite their notes to each other. She also can get him, without any effort at all, mind altering drugs that make Kendall a horny nutball who keeps demanding Aidan kiss her but she keeps calling him Zach. And somehow Aidan was able to not only find the Kendall double that Zach hired to go to prison for her, but was able to bring her to the boarding house hang out and have her pose as Kendall in the heat of a passionate embrace with Aidan just in time for Zach to see them. A) How did Aidan know Zach would be peaking in the window at that exact time? And B) How the heck did he find FauxKendall?? I'm really perplexed by all of this.
The holes are huge and gaping and as Opal says, I can't wrap my hairdo around any
of it. That brings me to the question.. how can this be fixed? It's been suggested, by many, that with Pratt's ouster, the only real way to right all the wrongs is to start at the tornado and make it all a very bad dream, ala Dallas. And you know what, I'm down with that! In fact, I think it's a great idea. Think of it.... let's say Tad gets bashed in the head by a door, again, like he did in the last big tornado. While he's in a coma, he has all these really insane dreams about people he knows. He dreams that Babe is dead and that JR ends up marrying her never before heard of twin sister. He dreams that Kendall is injured during the tornado and goes into a coma and needs a heart transplant. He dreams that Josh goes insane, embezzles money from Zach and Zach kills him so Kendall can have his heart. He dreams Adam kills Stuart. He 
dreams Greenlee "dies" and dreams that David hides her away to aid her recovery. He dreams Aidan never stopped loving Kendall. He dreams Bianca found true love who thinks she might like dudes and kisses Zach, therefore nullifying Bianca and Reese's happy marriage. He dreams he himself is shot in the head. He dreams Jesse covered up a murder that he thinks his daughter in law committed. He dreams Brooke and Jack never disappeared from Pine Valley. Think about it. Tad's dream can wake us all up for this nightmare!

Spoilers for the Week of November 2!!!
This weeks spoilers are now posted! And what a week it is! Adam remembers, then marries, then collapses! JR is tempted to turn to the bottle. Angie makes a surprising deal with a surprising person. And Aidan has the hots for Kendall???
CASTING NEWS - Lucy Merriam NOT Making the Move.
It's quite a blow to many of us fans of pint sized star Lucy Merriam (Emma) but she will not be making the move to LA with the show in December. For such a little girl, she certainly has big shoes to fill. The role will be recast.
More Santos' for AMC's 40th Anniversary??
AMC has approached Eva LaRue (ex-Maria) about a possible return for AMC's 40th Anniversary shows, slated to air January 4 and 5. She would be joining former onscreen brother and sister in law, Mateo and Hayley. As previously reported, Mark 
Consuelos and Kelly Ripa will be making the return to Pine Valley for the anniversary. My hope is that these anniversary shows will be centered around a retirement party for Joe Martin, since Ray MacDonnell will not be making the move to LA when the show relocates in December. Eva's appearance stems on her CSI: Miami shooting schedule, but according to SOD, her rep says Eva would love to make the appearance.
