'All My Children' characters we want on the reboot

1. “Dr. Jake Martin” – Jake has a rather complicated history. He has loved and been engaged to many women and has thought to have fathered many children during his time in Pine Valley. But, when he fell in love with Amanda Dillon, despite all of their hardships, he found the one! After betrayals, one-night stands and even Amanda getting cancer, for which Jake never left her side. Last we saw Jake and Amanda they were happy with their son, Trevor and looking to adopt another child. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a least one Martin on the reboot?

2. “Leo Du pres” – Okay, last we saw Leo he was plunging over a waterfall with his psycho mom, Vanessa. Fans thought his half-brother David had brought him back to life under his experimental Orpheus project, but Leo only came to Greenless in a dream when she returned from the dead. She rode off into the sunset with Ryan but wouldn’t it be great if Leo turned up back in Pine Valley alive? Hey, his body was never recovered. But, since his portrayer, Josh Duhamel, has gone onto great success in movies, Leo isn’t likely to return to Pine Valley anytime soon, but a girl can dream, can’t she?

3. “Ryan Lavery” – Boy, did Ryan have in rough during his years in Pine Valley! But, he endured losing siblings, parents even lovers. He came to town seeking his fortune but ended finding love with Greenlee after enduring much heartache in the love department. He has 2 kids with a few notable Pine Valley women, a daughter named Emma, with Annie and a son, Spike with Kendall. Last we saw Ryan he was riding off with Greenlee but wouldn’t fans love to see that gorgeous body back in town?

4. “Dimitri Marick” – One of Erica’s many husbands, Dimitri went through a lot during his time in Pine Valley, including learning he had a long lost son, Anton and a half-brother, Edmund, who he’d come to both love and hate over the years. Dimitri left town in 2001 with his wife Alexandra Devane, Anna’s twin sister. Wouldn’t it be interesting to have him come back to town after all these years to hear what trouble he’s gotten into and if he and Alex are still together?

5. “Greenlee Smythe” – Greenlee came to town as a snotty rich debutante but after years of life, love and loss in Pine Valley, she softened. She had many relationships with many different men but none more exciting than when she fell for con man Leo Du pres. He was originally only interested in her trust fund, but the quirky brunette won his heart and after much hardship they married. Tragically, Leo died trying to save Greenlee from his mother, Vanessa, and the two plunged over a waterfall to their apparent deaths. Greenlee couldn’t imagine life without Leo and attempted suicide a few times. Then, Ryan Lavery managed to win her heart, but don’t think they didn’t have troubles of their own, including Greenlee’s “death” and many a betrayal. Last we saw of Greenlee, she and Ryan rode off into the sunset together but doesn’t the reboot need some of Greenlee’s signature style?

6. “Tad Martin” – Tad is a Pine Valley staple. It would take years to go through all of the women he’s been, that’s how he earned his nickname, “Tad the Cad,” with but in the end, his heart belonged to Dixie Cooney. They married and divorced a bunch of times but always managed to find their way back to each other. Dixie’s coming back to Pine Valley alone on the reboot, so where is Tad?

7. “Aiden Devane” – Aiden was definitely one of Pine Valley’s sexiest men of all time. Nephew of General Hospital’s Anna Devane, Aiden was a Special Ops agent in England. He came to Pine Valley shortly after Anna came too. He was involved with Greenlee Smythe, Kendall and even the presumed dead Maria Santos. He ended up kidnapping Kendall, after she inadvertently caused Greenlee’s death (she later turned up alive.) He was taken to prison for kidnapping but wasn’t a bad guy. Doesn’t the reboot need more hotties that will do whatever it takes to avenge a lover’s supposed demise?

8. “Kendall Hart Slater” – Being the daughter of Erica Kane isn’t easy. And after a VERY rocky beginning (Kendall tried to get Erica framed for murder) they’ve formed a solid mother-daughter relationship. Kendall has endured a lot during her time in Pine Valley, went through many men (Anton, Del, Ryan & Aiden) but she finally fell in love with casino owner, Zach Slater. They’ve had their ups and downs, including Zach being presumed dead and his father, Alexander faking his death, becoming the “Satin Slayer” serial killer and trying to kill Kendall. But, they overcame it all and have two beautiful sons, Ian and Spike, who is really Kendall and Ryan Lavery’s son but Zach sees Spike as his own. Kendall definitely knew how to stir things up in Pine Valley, couldn’t the reboot use some of that signature Kendall mischief?

9. “Skye Chandler” – Okay, so she isn’t a Chandler by blood but unfortunately, she inherited their penchant for booze. Luckily, after many men and the birth of her daughter, Lila, Skye has kicked the bottle and most recently turned up on General Hospital for Edward Quartermaine’s funeral, who she viewed as her grandfather and he felt the same even though they weren’t related. Skye hasn’t been back to Pine Valley since Lila’s birth. She caused real trouble there as well in Port Charles and in One Life to Live’s Llanview, isn’t it time Skye reappears in Pine Valley?

10. “Erica Kane” – Okay, I know you thought she’d be #1 since Erica Martin Brent Cudahy Chandler Montgomery Chandler Marick Montgomery is the show’s only original character that stood the test of time. I personally felt differently but still felt she had a place on this list. Erica brought vivacity, allure and anguish (to the many men in her life and her children. She was married a whopping 11 times, had a total of eight husbands, three of which she married twice. She had numerous affairs, was involved in many a sticky situation but through it all has loved her children though not always immediately, as in the case of her first born Kendall, who was conceived after Erica was raped as a teenager, and her beloved other daughter Bianca. Last we saw Erica she had professed her love to Jackson (for the umpteenth time) but it seemed that FINALLY Jackson had gotten Erica out of his system as he gave the ultimate kiss-off “Frankly, Erica…I don’t give a damn!” That was priceless! But, then a shot rang out! Was the reason Erica isn’t on the reboot is that Pine Valley’s grand dame life ended by a bullet?
