Surrender!

Tuesday, August 04 2009
Kendall gives up, Tad slips, and Liza quits!


Tad and Taylor are in Confusion. Tad says they need to get back to the baby, and Krystal overhears. She asks, "What baby?" Tad struggles to cover up, saying he meant they have to get home to "My Baby," which is his and Taylor's favorite country song. He keeps babbling - even telling jokes - as Krystal narrows her eyes suspiciously.



Jake and Amanda are at Taylor's house playing with the baby. Amanda refers to him as 'our son', and Jake says he likes the sound of that! They cuddle and coo over Trevor. Amanda takes the baby to put him down for a nap, and worries to Jake that Taylor and Tad should have been back by now!



Annie is back at the Chandler Mansion, where Adam is groveling for not believing her yet again, and asks if she could possibly forgive him. Just as they're getting close, Scott arrives, wondering why Adam called him over. Adam announces he wants him to move in! He explains that Scott is trustworthy, and he cares about Annie - they both need him! Adam leaves the room, and Annie asks Scott if he's going to move in - it could be fun, they could make popcorn, watch movies, even give each other massages! Scott gapes, asking, "Are you coming on to me?" Annie assures him that she's in love with Adam, effectively turning it around on him and embarrassing him. Adam returns, and Scott says he'll think about moving in. After he leaves, Annie kisses Adam. He sends her to the bedroom to see a surprise, then instructs one of the staff to do what they need to do.



At the courthouse, Liza tells Jesse she had no part in Kendall's escape - she thought they would win in court. Jesse scoffs that winning is pretty much out the window! When he leaves, Liza has a fit and smashes David in the jaw when he walks into the room. Liza tells him that Kendall took off on her! They discuss Adam working the law, and Liza says that's what she did to her, and that's why Kendall's life is a mess - because of Adam and that crazy Annie!



In the alley, Ryan and Zach both tell Kendall that she's got to go. She leaves the boys with their fathers and goes. Just then the police arrive. Ryan and Zach put their hands up! Jesse gets there and confronts them - he says they are accomplices and notes that he'll have to see this through or someone else will! The cops head out to search for Kendall. As Ryan distracts the cop left to watch them, Zach hides behind him and checks in with his source, who says the marina is crawling with cops. Zach tells Ryan they have a problem.



JR is down at the boat dock with Little Adam when Marissa appears. She tells him that Kendall escaped. JR says, "Good!" They discuss Adam, who JR says is being played. Marissa thinks he's mad because Annie moved back in and he misses his father! JR says that he is scared he and Little Adam will end up like him and his father. Marissa doesn't think that will happen - he's a great dad who puts his son first. JR suddenly notices the police, and Marissa excuses herself.



In the high grass near the docks at the Yacht Club, Kendall hides and looks out toward the boat where she's supposed to be. She makes it to the boat, but the cops stop the captain from putting out to sea before they can get going. Beside the boat, Marissa asks Natalia if they're looking for Kendall. Before Natalia can respond, Kendall jumps out saying she gives up! Natalia cuffs her!



Still at Confusion, Tad and Taylor are keeping the country music jokes coming as Krystal listens. David walks in and takes in the scene. Tad drags Taylor onto the dance floor where she hisses at him that David walked in. Jake strides in and tells Taylor and Tad that they need to get going. David takes this all in.



As Jesse scolds Zach and Ryan at the police station, Natalia brings Kendall in, saying she surrendered at the marina! Liza arrives, and she and Kendall sit down with Jesse. Kendall tells him she never saw Zach and Ryan whatsoever. Jesse says there is no need to question innocent men then. He wants Kendall to go back to her cell, but she asks to talk to Zach! He allows it briefly. Kendall tells Zach she couldn't go through with it, and says she loves him. Kendall goes back to the cell, and Ryan asks Jesse if he can go down to talk to her. Jesse agrees, and then turns to Natalia, telling her he is proud. She notes that it feels like Jesse has one foot outside the law. He dismisses her concern.



Scott arrives at Confusion and sees Marissa and JR. He and JR get into it again about Annie - Scott accuses JR of being the one who tried to set her up. He tells him that Adam asked him to move in. JR sneers his congratulations - Adam obviously considers Scott the son he never had! Scott leaves after they trade a few more barbs, and Marissa is disgusted with JR - she leaves too. David saunters over and says that Adam is far better off with Scott. JR glares.



Tad, Taylor, and Jake get back to Taylor's where Amanda is waiting. They debate Tad's slip-up at Confusion in front of Krystal. Jake angrily tells Tad that it could have cost them Trevor! Jake and Amanda leave, and Tad kisses Taylor soundly before he too goes home!



Annie comes downstairs in a beautiful dress, to find Adam in the parlor with the room full of lit candles. He offers her the rose he is holding and tells her he didn't think he would fall in love again. He tells Annie she is his life, and proposes!



Ryan speaks to Kendall in the jail cell, telling her that Liza is on this, and she'll be out before she knows it. Ryan gives her a pep talk, saying that Ian fought back - he's alive - now it's her turn to fight! After he leaves, Kendall keeps hearing Stuart's voice telling her that she killed him! She screams out that she can't do this - she can't fight! The police call for Jesse, who is followed to the cell by Ryan. They stare as Kendall shouts a full confession, saying, "I did it! I killed him! I murdered Stuart Chandler!"



At home, Zach asks Liza what their strategy is going to be. Liza scoffs at the idea that there would be a strategy, and says that she quits! Zach persuades Liza not to quit - this is about Kendall going to prison for life!



David joins Krystal at the bar at Confusion. He asks her about how she feels seeing Tad with Taylor. Krystal shrugs and says they dance, kiss, even have their own song, "Gotta' Get Back to My Baby!" David looks at her sharply!


Next on All My Children:

Natalia accuses Jesse of not being on the up and up!

Kendall sees Stuart's ghost again!

Gee, David suspecting about the baby comment. What a shock! I really wish they'd give us more surprises. I could have written this in from the very first moment. There's just no good storylines anymore. Kendall surrendered. Like that's a surprise. After the knuckle head plan for her to escape it's like watching the three stooges. I think I'm about done with this soap. I think I'll try again in 6-12 months and see if anything has changed. I'm bored to tears!

Hummmm...what ails JR? Did someone slip him something?

One business that thrives in PV is CANDLES!!! Good lord...talk about a fire hazzard.

Everyday I try to be "mentally kinder" to Annie but it is getting harder and harder. Was she hitting on Scott because she did not want him to move in? He will continue to wave her "Annie Ain't Crazy" flag.

One small comment Jake/Amanda had regarding Trevor...doing something that resembled Jake...maybe there is hope the baby really is Jake's.

I have heard (on other TV shows, I am sure) that lawyers can't just up and quit. I have no personal experience with that so I'm just saying.

Can't really wrap my head around Tad's comment being enough to intrigue KWAK or David for that matter. Sounds like a country western song to me!

I can't wait to see how Ryan and Zach will get out of this. They should really be prosecuted for what they did. But we all know Jesse won't do a thing. So, Kendall says that she never saw Zach or Ryan, so that's Jesse excuse to get them off the hook. This is unbelievable.

I'm glad Kendall got arrested. I hope they throw away the key.

Zach has the nerve to ask Liza what their strategy will be, is he serious. The way he messed things up. Don't blame Liza for quitting. Let Superman Zach handle it. He thinks he's the only one that can anyway.

Glad Natalia is noticing how crooked Jesse is acting.

Lord, I hope David is not about to figure this out.

After being away on vacation for three weeks, I've been trying to re-engage with the fine folks - and apparently growing legion of nut jobs - living in Pine Valley. I say trying because that's exactly what it has been - a very trying experience.

Adam falling for Annie is just stupid. STUPID. Granted, his past wives have primarily been significantly younger, but this whole story line is so contrived it's insulting.

And if we've learned nothing else about Zach and Kendall over the years, it's that there is NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEIR BOYS HAVING THEIR MOTHER. Zach has lied for it. He's killed Josh for it. They've concocted elaborate schemes and alibis for it. Apparently, she's such a paragon of motherly virtue that her freedom is paramount.

So naturally she just steps out and confesses to murder that would put her away for decades. Later, Spike. See you when your 25, Ian. Again, her 'confession' is another lame contrivance, designed to make things all the more dramatic when the real killer is revealed, assuming any of us cares any more when that happens.

And the Amanda/Jake/David baby thing...enough already. David will simply take Trevor, Amanda? Get a spine, woman. Unleash your mom and let's really have some fun here. Otherwise, it's another predictable story.

Writers...it's summer time, let's have a little fun for Pete's sake. Or for Colby's sake. Or for anyone's sake...can't we have a little humor, a few moments of elation amid all the squabbling, finger-pointing and confessions to crimes?

Soaps are supposed to carry you to a world that's engaging and entertaining, thrilling and provocative, occasionally romantic and occasionally scary. They are not supposed to provide pleasure the moment you turn them off.

cowboys fan.....I agree about Zach and Ryan. They are both idiots. But why should Kendall suffer for their stupidity? And why should she go to jail for a crime she probably did not do? Of course, being preggars in real life is probably the reason why.

I did LMAO at David when he was going on about Adam and how he gets away with everything..
David, pot meet kettle!

AMCguy...I gotta disagree that the Amanda baby sl is predictable. I think it is the total opposite. I did not expect Jake to find another baby boy and give him to Liza and Liza still thinks that he is Amanda's. And to make David think that Amanda can't have any more kids is a good twist to the end that she and Jake will adopt her own baby. I am enjoying this sl more than the others.
JMHO

When Is AMC gonna have David find out that his son's not dead! I want to see David find out that this has all been lies by Tad, Jake, and Amanda! I want David to find out that Amanda and Jake has his son, and I wanna see David get his son! I also wanna see Amanda leave Jake and go live with David and the baby. I wonder who Marion shoots by accident. I hope whoever it is, they don't die. There's been enough killings in AMC. I wonder if Kendall did kill Stuart. How long is that gonna be dragged out!

AMCGuy...well said!!!! This is the only site I post on (most of the time it is more fun that the show) but I like to read other message boards and they seem to say the same things. If TPTB really wanted to fix this "economically" they could get some interns to read the message boards to fix some of these silly storylines. Loyal viewers have a hard time holding on to their sense of dignity ...any other show and I would change it within 15 minutes....But noooooo...we trudge through it.

Perhaps instead of showing happy content people, they give us this batch of looneytunes showing us we aren't missing a thing in our own lives.

Ok this mite sound wild .But what if Ryan dressed up like a woman,and shot Steward?To blame Annie or Kendall.Annie because she would be out of the way.And if he dressed like Kendall because she didnt want him.And it would be away that he would get back at her .For her running Greenlee off the road and her getting killed.I think Ryan is the nut case,not Annie.And shes getting the blame for every thing.Because after he got shot in the head,he's never been right since.I hope that Amanda's baby would end up being Jake's baby.And the Dr David would leave them 2 alone.Why can't he get a life and leave people alone.And be a dad to Marissa .And I sure hope this who shot Steward story line end soon.I just hate it when a story line drags on so long ,it gets boreing.And it's nice to see Tad and Taylor kissing.
