Hotsheet... They are normally posted on Saturdays and taken down Fridays. And the New Year begins....Welcome back to my site, 2010 brings newest stuff.... Starting with AMC: It's finally here, folks! We've been counting down all month to All My Children's 40th Anniversary -- and it airs THIS week. To celebrate this monumental occasion, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos bring the much-beloved Hayley and Mateo back to Pine Valley. Yay! See, Hayley is doing a documentary on PV to prove it is "The Most Congenial Town in America" -- and she decides to include Adam's vow renewal to Annie. Hmm, wonder how "congenial" Hayley's going to be to her crazy new stepmom?! In addition to the vow renewal madness, look for all your favorite Pine Valley residents reminisce about the past and talk about the future. Characters galore from days gone by return -- Brooke, Maria, Greg, Lily, Nina, and Bianca. Oh, and look for appearances by Jack and Palmer as well. Classic stuff that's not to be missed. All the anniversary celebration happens on January 4th and 5th. Be there! Meanwhile, Greenlee learns that David let everyone in Pine Valley believe she's dead. And as if that's not bad enough, David then explains that in order for her to walk again, she needs a surgery that could kill her. 2010 is not off to a good start for Greens, huh?! Knowing that more bad news would devastate her, David lies and tells her things at home are exactly how she left them. Which ... is not the case. When Jake learns that a restraining order has been issued against Tad, he decides to go to Gloucester himself and see what David's been up to -- and Amanda isn't happy about it. Despite his obvious lies, David still has Amanda exactly where he wants her. And when Jake has nothing good to say about Doc Hayward, Amanda offers her hubby a shocking ultimatum. All this, PLUS: JR decides to put off chemo; the custody battle between Annie and Ryan takes a unique turn; the Hubbards rally behind Madison; and when Damon is arrested, Bailey has only one person to turn to. AMC 2010 Preview... Hayley and Mateo arrive to ring in the new year -- and celebrate the much-anticipated 40th anniversary of All My Children. With an array of old faces (Brooke, Maria, Lily, Greg, Nina, Bianca, Jack, Palmer) and fantastic flashbacks, trust us -- Jan. 4th and 5th are not to be missed. Then again, neither is the rest of 2010. Keep reading to see what we mean. The custody suit for Emma is decided, but that's really the least of Annie's problems. You see, all is not well in the house of Chandler. Adam gets some news -- and makes some observations about his "loved ones" -- that he very much doesn't like. Control freak that he is, look for Adam to make some pretty drastic changes that will affect his entire family -- and the future of the Chandler dynasty. It's CLASSIC Adam Chandler. Amanda learns that David's "blood condition" is hereditary and is understandably worried for her son. She takes Trevor in to be tested, and when neither he or Marissa have the disease, people begin to get curious about Trevor's paternity. Yup, folks, the truth finally comes out this month! David is not the daddy. Jake is! And with all Doc Hayward has put Amanda and Jake though, how in the world is David going to survive Jake's wrath now?! With all of this going on, David's lucky to have a friend in an unlikely place: Greenlee. They grow closer as Greens faces a tough choice: remain paralyzed, or get surgery that could cure her -- but kill her in the process. David shields her from the truth about life in Pine Valley (most particularly Ryan and Erica), but look for disaster to strike when Greenlee gets suspicious and takes matters into her own hands. And the Greenlee you know and love -- the bitchy, impulsive, "When I do something, I do it big" one -- that's the one who takes matters into her own hands. In the L-O-V-E department, Tad and Liza begin to renew old feelings. But will Krystal stand in the way of happiness for these longtime friends with benefits? After her dad pleads guilty (thanks to a little blackmail on her part), Madison is finally free to move on with her life. She wants to leave town, but the Hubbards convince her to stay. Pretty nice of them considering all she's done, huh? Randi introduces Madison to Fusion, but is shocked when she ends up getting a job better than her own -- assistant to the one and only Erica Kane. Randi and Madison working together? Yeah, that's a good idea. It's a month of nothing but trouble for Damon. When he's arrested, Bailey turns to Liza for help. As hard as it is for Ms. Colby to be involved, she decides to help the young man out -- for baby Stuart's sake. She gets him freed and finds him a job. All is well for Damon, right? Wrong. When a spree of crimes begin in Pine Valley, all fingers point to the troubled man. But did he really do it? All this, PLUS: Colby has a master plan for Annie; Marissa wants to have a baby; and someone very surprising admits she's actually in love with David. Early heads up, loyal AMC fans. Look for February to be a critical month in Pine Valley. AMC goes back to basics and gives us the thing you've always loved best about the show -- character, character, character. With one really big, really unexpected twist. And even more exciting: Look for a big return in 2010 of a familiar, beloved face to kick off a new story that made us so excited we almost passed out ... And on OLTL: Happy New Year, Llanview! 2010 starts off with Mitch wreaking major havoc. So much for the idea that '10 will be a more peaceful year than '09! Everyone in town is still in shock over Dorian's firing of Bo (done at Mitch's bidding). Then Dorian presents even more "just cause" as to why Bo was fired -- proof that evidence was tampered with during Mitch's stabbing investigation. Desperate to save Bo, John circumvents Natalie's planned confession and takes all blame for the stabbing and evidence-tampering. Naturally, he gets arrested. Marty's wise to one part of John's motive: protecting Natalie. Question is, are the feelings behind it motivated by old friendship ... or something more? Oh, and then there's Bo's replacement ... Heaven help everyone! Rex is runner-up in the "having a bad week" department: He figures out that Gigi and Schuyler slept together -- and worse, that Gigi wants to pursue a relationship with Sky. Then, Mitch goes and tries to kidnap Stacy! What with her daughter trying to kill her own father, Tea makes a (bizarrely) logical choice and decides that maybe she and Danielle should leave town. This leads to an emotional parting with Todd. Which (duh!) results in sex. But Todd and Tea aren't the only ones getting lucky. Blair has a New Year's hook-up too! All this, PLUS: Charlie confesses his drinking to Viki; Ford manages to cause drama for Langston, Markko, Cristian, AND Layla; Matthew and Danielle kiss; one resident plots to kill another; and someone comes back from the dead. OLTL 2010 Preview... 2010 opens with Todd and Tea and their suuuuper-complicated relationship with their daughter, Danielle. The month starts off with Tea and Todd admitting their love for each other ... before Tea leaves the country with Danielle so they can work on repairing their mother/daughter relationship. Poor Todd is going to have to wonder if Danielle could have ever accepted him as her father -- guess he'll never find out. ...Psych! Of course Todd's going to find out! Here's the big scoop: This month, Dani finally discovers that Todd is her real father. But what's really surprising is who tells Danielle this secret. It's a shocker. From there, it gets even better: Tea and Danielle will return to Llanview ... and Dani takes it upon herself to do some Internet research on Todd. Just imagine her reaction when she learns about Todd's checkered past. On the bright side, she does get to know her newfound sister, Starr, who just might be able to convince her of Todd's better qualities. Dealing with a new sibling isn't the only thing going on for Starr this month. She and Cole decide to take their relationship to the next level by ... moving in together. OK, so they'll also be sharing an apartment (or flat, if you're like Madonna and want to pretend you're British) with Langston and Markko. But still, living together is big. What do you think this means for them? Langston's thinking about Ford, and we don't mean the car brand. The absurdly buff producer, now teacher, is constantly on Langston's brain, which could spell trouble with Markko. But Ford's not just making waves with Langston -- he also ends up crowding in on the Three's Company action with Layla, Cristian, and Fish. FOUR roommates? Three of them incredibly hot guys? Layla should be so lucky. Clint serves Nora with some pretty harsh divorce papers. Thankfully, Bo's there for her. Basically we can already tell you that 2010 will be a good year because there's lots and lots of Bo and Nora being ... Bo and Nora. A totally unbreakable unit. Meanwhile, Clint -- with full knowledge of Kim's gold digging desires -- gets closer to his new "executive assistant." But then Natalie and Jessica get wind of what's going on. And they totally remain passive and say nothing and there's no really good, funny drama. Nope, not at all. And look for David Vickers to reappear and give his commentary on the whole affair. Yes, David and Kim scenes. Your prayers have been answered! Mitch continues his brand of hell-raising, which is so fun because it causes Dorian to act in ways that are very drama friendly. You know the deal by now: Mitch has threatened to kill one (or all) of Dorian's girls if she doesn't abide by his instructions. Thus far, that's included firing Bo as police commissioner. But get a load of who he wants Dorian to install as Bo's successor: disgraced former mayor Stanley Lowell! Yes, the man who masterminded a drug ring and ordered Cole to be killed! You can imagine how Dorian's friends and family react to THAT. Dorian doesn't want to be under Mitch's thumb forever -- she'll get run out of town, for one thing. But the solution she dreams up is pure Dorian insanity: she'll kill Mitch. Or, rather, she'll get someone else to do it (We mean, come on -- do you really think she'd go and risk messing up her wardrobe with murder?). And it's not some random hit man she's going to hire -- it's a Llanview resident. That's not all that Mitch is up to, either. He's still very much interested in getting his cult-leader fingertips on Stacy's unborn baby. And he's being reeeeally obvious about it. Stacy is understandably creeped out, and Rex doesn't want to take any chances either -- so look for him to move in with Stacy. Which is weirdly in line with her long-term plans anyway, so she should send Mitch a fruit basket or something. Rex goes even further, though, and hires Oliver Fish to be Stacy's private security guard. Fish, remember, is the real father of Stacy's baby, not that anybody knows that. In fact, in the coming weeks, Kyle "discovers" that Schuyler is the father of Stacy's baby. There are some serious layers to Stacy's baby scheme, but Kyle could blow the lid off it all. Especially if he tells his BFF Roxy. And then there's the plot against Jessica ... The exciting news for 2010 are all the returns. Gina Tognoni as Kelly! She'll be followed by Melissa Fumero, Laura Bonarrigo and Dan Gauthier reprising their roles as Adriana, Cassie and Kevin, respectively. And Snoop Dogg is back on February 24th! All this, PLUS: Blair gets a new bed buddy... and it's not Todd; Danielle and Matthew continue a slightly unique take on young love; and it looks like we may be entering into a love triangle between Marty, John, and Natalie! But you guys called that, for reals.
