All My Children - 1994 - The Tornado

[@happyforest.sadtree]

I remember this... so epic. this show used to be SO GOOD

[@TheTVsTim]

Tad Martin + Door = BONK! That scene has stuck with me for years. Best soap stunt work ever.

[@jiovanna4136]

Omg I remember watching this in the summer of 1994 back when I was 13 year's old with my mom...my mom was a big soap opera watcher and avent soap opera digest collector...and she got me invested in All My Children...this was during the Golden Era of Soap operas when they ruled daytime spot each week with huge record breaking ratings. This was a bonding time between me and my momma....watching this on KZbin brings so much memories of my momma when she alive and young, vibrant. RIP momma! I miss you more then you know😔💔 not a day goes by that I don't think about you. (1954-2019) Norma Jean Ramirez

[@kerrijacobs1433]

I bonded with my sister watching AMC. This episode was fire. It’s a shame they were never able to recover. 94 was the best year.

[@Buzzbar94]

Rest in peace, John Callahan.

[@davidhowe751]

Janet and Kendall were the best pairing. The two outcasts

[@FaytLinegod]

Sydney Penny's performance chilled my blood.

[@davidhowe751]

The foreshadowing with all of the chandilier shots... amazing

[@earlthelovebug5691]

I was 4 when I watch it with my mommy while I was playing toy cars, toy dinosaurs, and even my tricycle inside the apartment. The Pine Valley Tornado of 1994 was epic.

[@veronicawatson2525]

This brought back some good memories

[@idiosyncraticparadise1655]

I remember when this aired.... WOW.

[@jacktheman2895]

If soaps could somehow get back to this level of quality they would be back in business.

[@pennyparham4123]

What soap operas ? None left, except General Hospital, The Young and Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful

[@MRInvincible569]

​​@@pennyparham4123Well, those 3 need to check out stories like. this. Maybe the genre can make a comeback.

[@dakotahstr]

Wow! What a great show. Even the movies couldnt do such great effects as this show

[@joannepelletteri3847]

I loved Myrtle and Opal!

[@itsthatguy0]

Ahhh. Julia’s year long battle with vanity.

[@deuxjournalistes2993]

Exactly! 😂

[@frankieseward8667]

In more ways than one.

[@Boophooh]

janet, kendall, and Gloria was my favs back then....

[@brigidvanparys2062]

All whackadoo's

[@greenlee7smythe]

@@brigidvanparys206299.9% of the characters on this show were whackadoos! Lmao 😂 Kendall was the BEST! She always was and always will be! My favorite character will always be Kendall Hart!

[@wendycampbell6165]

I was six years old I'm remembered my aunt Marsha watch it.

[@shawnshambley2050]

Classic and awesome!!

[@bsbgirl85]

When I rewatched this on Destyne's channel I was wondering where Erica was, suprised she wasn't there. I watched AMC from 93-03 and I personally think 94' was it's best year. The tornado was one of those reasons. Julia's face getting scarred was the main thing I remembered and that helped lead to my favorite soap pairing ever: Noah and Julia. I also liked Janet and Kendall's scenes. I can't stand Kendall but I liked her and Janet's wierd friendship. Their both crazy so I guess their perfect as

Rest In Peace Michael Nader

[@kathyflorcruz552]

And John Callahan.

[@evelynbeveraggi8724]

Such fun memories ❤

[@bradymcguire6151]

Erica missed both Pine Valley Tornadoes. Strange.

[@cajayson8301]

She was in the 2008 tornado.....she and Adam were trapped at Chandler Mansion. One hilarious line she said was, "Doesn't anyone know I'm missing? Where are my children? My fans?" LOL such a typical Erica line! As if fans will look for a celebrity in a natural disaster!

[@a.b.s_productions]

She was also in the explosion storyline from 2006.

[@JohnnyGNV]

WOW this was when the show was soooo great! Hate to say it but compared to this, the new inception is so totally boring - I wish that ALL MY CHILDREN could return to this level of production excellence!

[@gianni1388]

thanks 😊

[@laurafernandez8281]

I remember this I watched AMC since I can remember. I remember the yellow book. They had that book for the longest time even in black and white I believe it was 92 or 93 that it was changed. I kiss this show alot. When I became a stay home mom I watch this show with my mom. My sister would on the phone watching this too. My aunt would call my cell and we all talked and laugh. Those were the days. Kendall always my favorite even back when. I miss AMC. ABC made a huge mistake canceling this show I mentioned the book earlier. I heard that the person closing in the beginning was Anges Nixon the creator of this show

[@devonabates6184]

I remember this back in high school.

[@xay5820]

Incredible work.

[@thediesel4910]

Well shiver me timbers!

[@totallytivo]

i also remember that the first 3:15 was shown as the cliffhanger of the previous episode. They spent the money. They may as well show it twice.

[@crowleypie5297]

ah Julia's scar!!!

[@bsbgirl85]

friends.

[@johnodonnell5474]

I remember this

[@maureengilligo1960]

Tad got blasted with that door

[@totallytivo]

In 1994 I rewound the VHS tape to see 2:30. That's the real Myrtle fleeing in that moment next to a stunt woman with knee pads. I'm impressed. I also think the stunt Tad got whacked by the door much harder than originally planned. I hope he was wearing some kind of NBA face mask.

[@brigidvanparys2062]

How many tornados does this town have ?

[@camillemckenzie3235]

It's ironic that Del saved Maria from the chandelier, but it's Julia who got cut by the glass.

[@a.b.s_productions]

So Pine Valley had a tornado but nearby Llandview and Corinth were untouched? 🧐

[@bigal650]

Tornados affect very small areas. They aren’t like hurricanes. Corinth and Llanview could’ve just had heavy rain

[@gretchennelson7056]

A tornado can destroy a house and the one directly across the street could emerge completely undamaged. Tornadoes are very random.

[@a.b.s_productions]

@@gretchennelson7056 You’re missing the point. I was referring to that this could have been a cool crossover of the 3 soaps. 🙄

[@gretchennelson7056]

@@a.b.s_productions Yes it would have been..if they could have found a way to do it.

[@MRInvincible569]

Did those shows have AMC's budget?

[@TheDanielRodriguez]

Can any one tell me where I can find the full version of the promo at 00:00-00:20...been looking for it for years!

[@inastovall3335]

She was on vacation

[@PavedParadise]

Where is Erica?

[@blpalv15]

This happened when Susan Lucci took her yearly vacation. This was the same year, I believe, that Frances Heflin who played her mother, passed away.

[@totallytivo]

@@blpalv15 Erica (and Susan Lucci) came back with a new nose on Mona's funeral day.

AMC did lot episode with tornados 🌪

How the Hell did Charlie and Hayley not get sucked into the funnel?

[@robertlavallee591]

They did a smart thing,got out of the car and got into a ditch,one of the safest places to be when caught away from a building out in the open.

[@gretchennelson7056]

Because of Charlie’s quick thinking
