Over the past week, the Marissa and Bianca (Minx) storyline on ALL MY CHILDREN has moved to the next level as Marissa finally admitted her real feelings for her best friend. JR reacted just as expected, Krystal admitted she suspected something was up. Saying Marissa seemed "at peace" seemed like the perfect reaction.
As the show winds down to its ABC conclusion, it is finally starting to feel like AMC again. It's definitely heading in the right direction.
Catch up on "Minx" below (thanks to the MinxFan YouTube Channel) and let us know if you are enjoying this pairing. How does it compare with Bianca's previous relationships? Also, what are your thoughts on the rest of ALL MY CHILDREN with two months to go on network television?
No.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure at first but this has become my favorite Bianca romance.
ReplyDeleteno Annie and Jr were destroyed to prop Marissa. Esp Annie. Bring back Maggie for Bianca get rid of Marissa. In fact get rid of all the Careys.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't that long ago I wasn't enjoying AMC at all but it has gotten better.
ReplyDeleteYES and I am seeing AMC again and regardless what everyone thinks, it did start around March-April, Lorraine, Addie, & Agnes has infused it even more.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the storyline and Jacob's performance at Marissa's coming out was great stuff. He does jerk really well, but what a hunk. Sarah and Christina are pretty hot too. Especially now the've professed their love for one another. Loving it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Minx!! I think they are one of the best couples on television at the moment, gay or straight.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GUSH worthy! Bring on much more Minx. It's about time Binx got some happiness in her life. AMC are doing a great job in showing how far we have come :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been watching AMC on and off since high school...which is a really long time. So I've seen the previous actresses for most characters once or twice or more. Anyway, I wasn't sure anyone could own Bianca after Eden Regal, but my mind is changed! I love that Bianca can bring out both the best and the worst in JR...heh! Love the way her current storyline with Marissa is going. Hope we get to see more of just their relationship now that AMC is going to the web!
ReplyDeleteI love them and hope they are featured on the web version of the show.
ReplyDeleteThey're really cute together! I like seeing Bianca happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for Minx! It's been a slow burn to those of us who are observant and many people I know are thrilled with the way it has played out for our lovely Bianca to finally get the girl!
ReplyDeleteYes. I also was a huge Bianca/Maggie fan for years and was doubtful that I would like any other pairing or any other actress as "Bianca," but I have truly loved Minx and Christina Bennett Lind/Sarah Glendening. This is my favorite storyline on AMC in a long while.
ReplyDeleteI think that the writing for this storyline, has been fantastic, as have CBL and SG. The scenes between Krystal and Marissa yesterday were nothing short of brilliant, and I loved Krystal's "Not everybody is going to be open minded, but I don't give a damn, and neither should you!" So perfect, and a stern glare to all the people who still seem to want to write hateful comments on the AMC forums and Facebook page especially. Brilliant AMC. Brilliant. I really hope that CBL and SG make the leap to the web series, I think this is Bianca's best romance (we have gotten to see it all on screen for once, not just years of friendship and then a relationship off screen a la BAM, or the relationship already established and ready to be sabotaged by some PRATT like Breese was. For once we have seen someone go after Bianca and this time, I hope its for keeps! LOVE MY AMC!!
ReplyDeleteEmma, UK.
Hell yeah. I love Minx a lot. It is a wonderful storyline and would very much like to have them as a couple for a long time.
ReplyDeleteFantastic journey so far, may it continue that way.
Yes!Yes! Yes! I Love Minx! Minx is the best couple in the world!Please continue with minx and have Christina and sarah continue in the amc internet web series.
ReplyDeleteI've started DVRing All My Children again for the first time since Eden Riegel left and really enjoying not only the Minx storyline but those involving some of my old school favorites...
ReplyDeleteI think they are brilliant together, and CBL and SG are so natural together. Great chemistry. Hope they carry Minx over to the web series.
ReplyDeleteWE WANT IT!!
I agree with @Collins because i stopped watching after Eden left and just now started back up. The Minx story line is true and gives us all hope that there is love out there. So keep the story going Please!
ReplyDeleteMuch gratitude to AMC for the MINX storyline! I can not express fully just how appreciative I am of this story. This story goes beyond 2 women falling in love. It's refreshing to watch human beings, whether real-life or characters, being honest about feelings and how humans treat others, no matter what age,gender,race,orientation, religious beliefs or whatever personality flaws. I bow down to CBL and SG for their delivery,dedication to the characters and the writers who are creating this pair! With much heart felt admiration! I am a fan of thi storyline for the long haul! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm another one who honestly couldn't see anyone else playing Bianca after Eden Riegel left, but I think Christina Bennett Lind has brought a new kind of strength to the character. I also love the romance with Marissa (they have good chemistry), though it seems to be progressing in fast forward right now!
ReplyDeleteMinx is the best story on AMC right now - Christina and Sarah's performances are spot on - and the writing is pitch perfect - bravo!
ReplyDeleteYes! Not only am I loving the performance by CBL(who is so beautiful and charming)and SG but the story is being so well written! And indeed, it's nice to see a character who, despite the initial fear and confusion, is willing to pursue a relationship and willing to confront people around her!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I watch it on youtube everyday because I'm from the Netherlands. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteYes, the Bianca/Marissa/JR triangle has been interesting, well-written, and the acting has been very good. I actually think that there is really good chemistry between these two (perfect casting) as friends and romantically. Jacob Young is doing a fantastic job of portraying the man left for another woman. I've read a few comments people have made about this not happening in real life---these people live under a rock! Do they not know that a woman can be in such denial that she tries to be straight her whole life and then something happens that causes/spurs her to come out? Yes, it happens and it happened to a friend of mine. AMC has been better all around lately and I am enjoying every storyline!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I can't wait to see their story and romance develop. Finally Bianca has a woman who chose her. Marissa has fought for Bianca and wants to be with her. I writing is honest and real and the story is what soap operas are all about, a real love story. If the genre wants to continue, and I so want it to, this is the kind of story that will also bring in new and younger viewers. But more than that Sarah and Christina and Bobbie have been wonderful. I can feel Marissa get stronger with each scene as she realizes who she is and Bianca is the confident young woman with a heart who is finally finding love. I love forward to this story every day.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE MINX!!!! I LOVE Cristina and Sarah. I Hope we will see them in the web series dealing with things as a couple and finally showing the physical part of their relationship like the straight couples for once!
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone not enjoy a fully realized albeit a fast forwarded (due to the cancelation) love story on daytime? This is fantastic. It's all the chemistry of BAM but this time with the oncamera pairing. Sarah and Christina have fantastic chemistry and the plot is filled with so much history. For the poster who commented on the propping of Marissa at the expense of Annie - the actress left the show.... AMC's job to roll with the punches.
ReplyDeleteAnd beyond what it means for the Minxs storyline I am enjoying the fallout for JR as much. Jacob is doing some wonderful work.
I really hope we start getting word of cast for the webseries because this AMC is firing on all cylinders and is ripe for web.
I also hope Minxs takes the leap to web and that prospect is wise enough not to region block the series because the international viewership, especially for the Minxs story is quite high as evidenced by posters around here and other places.
Thanks WLS for asking the question.
Yes, here is to hoping for them in the web series together... CBL and SG have a kind of chemistry I haven't seen in a long time between two people.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Theyre the best most worth while couple and sl to watch on AMC. I'd not have any reason to watch if Bianca/Marissa (MINX!!) weren't on, esp now that they're a couple. Keep it up with this great couple and sl!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best love story in day time right now. The actresses have mega-chemistry and have the potential to be the soaps first gay/lesbian supercouple, which would be terrific. Not only are there a lot of good stories to tell with them, it would also continue the proud progressive social tradition of Agnes Nixon.
ReplyDeleteTotally! Minx is the reason I watch AMC.
ReplyDeleteJR's reaction to the news was great...I laughed out loud a few times, despite feeling sorry for Marissa's watery eyes.
I hope now that Bianca and Marissa are together they do not fade into the background. I love their personalities together and I love how this storyline is developing......
YES!!! I really hope MINX will continue on when it goes to the online format. This story is being told wonderfully and I find myself more into AMC than I have been in quite sometime. MINX FOREVER!!
ReplyDeleteAbsotively! Posilutely! I can't get over how well this story has been written. CBL and SG have the most amazing chemistry and the writers and producers have known just how to harness it. I must admit I was a bit skeptical after the dissaster that Breese turned out to be but I'm glad I gave these two a chance! I was with all those Minx shippers back in March, the feelings were there from the get go. I really hope to see much, much more of Minx in the future.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest of Pinevalley, I Effing Love David!
I haven't been this excited to watch a soap since GL went off the air. Thanks AMC for Minx! Love them.
ReplyDeletedefinitely. We love Minx. Christina and Sarah are doing a great job plus their chemistry is really amazing. More of Minx pls.
ReplyDeletestargaze29: YES! INFINITY TIMES YES! To be perfectly honest, Bianca's character is the only reason I watch AMC and CBL has done a fantastic job taking over the role. Ever since the whole BAM catastrophe (Love Eden & Liz anyway! : D), Marissa is the only one that I have actually loved the idea of her and Bianca being together. And now that they are I couldn't be happier. : D I keep tuning in to AMC, just to see their relationship grow. I've fallen for the Minx storyline, and would love to see it continue for years to come. Christina and Sarah FTW! MINX! The cutest, most romantic couple on AMC in my opinion. : D
ReplyDeleteYes I am enjoying their journey a lot!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely love the couple and the storyline. i am thrilled by how respectfully and realistically amc has portrayed their relationship. the characters, and the actresses portraying them, bring something fresh to the show, and positively light up the screen with their chemistry.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't hurt that they've got the sweetest smiles on daytime, hands down. :)
more than anything though, i was profoundly touched by marissa and krystal's scene this week. it is exactly that message of unconditional love for your child and social progress that made me recall the best times of amc.
please keep it up!
AMC in general is so good right now, but I have to say a lot of that has to do with our Minx and the characters around them. Both Christina and Sarah have been outstanding, but props must also be given to Jacob Young and Bobbie Eakes. Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant! Long may Minx continue..
ReplyDeleteI'm another international viewer, from GB.
Yes! This is the best relationship on the show right now. I hope they get more screen time!
ReplyDeleteI think they have a natural chemistry that is hard to find they play off of each other so well. I want Minx on web series please!
ReplyDeleteYes, the storyline has been well written and the actresses are doing an amazing job bringing it to life.
ReplyDeleteYes, wait...no..."enjoying" isn't really strong enough! The writing is excellent and the actors playing Bianca and Marissa are absolutely gorgeous! Does anyone really care about anything else going on in Pine Valley these days?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!! Such a beautiful and naturally told storyline. SG and CBL are amazing. This couple is the only reason I watch AMC!! Can't wait until the show starts online, and I really hope Minx are included!
ReplyDeleteJodielee, UK.
Yep, only reason I am watching right now. I'd watch them on a web series for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove Minx! Being a gay woman, it is nice to see more gay storylines on AMC - they have always been a groundbreaker in that area. I know several "straight" women that this has happenned to - so it is a completely plausible storyline. Hope Minx stays going on the internet version of AMC.
ReplyDeleteYES!
ReplyDeleteI've been an AMC viewer for almost 30 yrs, give or take a few along the way. I stopped watching a few yrs ago because the writing had just become drek. But the MINX story has brought me back big time and with Broderick & Nixon back to writing character-driven stories about characters we care about, the show is on fire. Aside from OLTL, I haven't been this excited about a soap storyline since Guiding Light.
ReplyDelete#TeamLoBro!
Bianca & Marissa are beyond adorable. :)
Wonderful story and wonderful pairing. Christina and Sarah work so well together. The writing has been phenomenal and the scenes with Krystal were so heart felt and real. Plus, CBL can say more with her eyes than a whole page of dialogue. She has brought such a new life to Bianca. I was sceptical about someone taking over from Eden, but Christina IS Bianca to me now, and I can't think of higher praise than that. Plus, soooo glad that SG is now playing Marissa. She is great in the role, and lets face it, Bianca falling for the 'old' boring Marissa.. Would not have been believable at all!
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion, AMC is firmly back on track, and Minx is a huge part of that. Hope they continue to the online show. Would be a great loss if CBL, SG and JY don't make the jump.
Jane, UK.
Yes! I am loving this story. Hope they go the distance -- in soap opera terms; let's "leave" things on a good note.
ReplyDeleteI watched All My Children for quite many years but stopped when Pratt's ridiculous sls were getting out of control. I started watching again at the beginning of this year and have to say Bianca and Marissa have become one of my favorite, if not current top couple and sl on AMC right now. Love how they built the friendship and moved it to romance-land. Yesterday's hand holding scenes have got to be the most romantic, ''I feel(as a viewer) that I'm falling in love right along with them'' scenes in PV in years...which means the writers are doing a very good job. And all of PV of late is regaining it's AMC feel. JR and Tad scenes have been wonderful, ditto with the flashbacks, all seems to be going back in place!! And the cherry on top if the Bianca-Marissa romance. Beautiful! I do hope they get to show more intimate scenes, at least some more passionate kissing. It's only fair.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am enjoying this pair (MINX), they have great chemistry together. I am happy this relationship has finally happened. I am sorry the network has decided to cancel the program but very excited about the future of it on the web, I will be watching.
ReplyDeleteS.W.
I forgot to say, as an international viewer, I hope Prospect Park takes in considerations the fans AMC has abroad and do not geo-block the content online. I'm in Central America and we get ABC on cable, but if the online site is like ABC's own website or Hulu which geo-blocks vids to everyone not in the U.S., we are going to miss out!! and they are going to cut out thousands of fans from AMC.
ReplyDeleteYES! I love the storyline and both SG and CBL rock! I pray that both the actresses and the storyline continue on AMC for many years to come!
ReplyDeleteI don't like this story at all. Bianca has had four serious relationships-- three of which were women that were formerly heterosexual that were "turned" by Bianca. The only out lesbian she was involved with, Reese, kissed a man the night before their wedding. This is some screwed up stuff AMC is feeding us, perpetuating the idea that sexuality is a choice, the hetero can be turned home and that lesbians just haven't met the right man.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a Minx fan! Like most of the viewers in here I agree that CBL & SG are beyond brilliant and their chemistry...off the charts. I can't wait to get home and watch them. Prospect Park do whatever it takes to keep this s/l and these two ladies moving forward to the web! Here's to Many More Magical Moments of MINX! Can't get enough! AMC, you did good with this one! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThis couple is perfection. I admire the writers who have been giving them a chance; they are doing a swell job at presenting them to a happy audience. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOther than Marissa's freakout sex w/JR (ugh) and Bianca's "you're straight" freakout, I'm enjoying this so far.
ReplyDeleteYES! I LOVE LOVE LOVE MINX! I have to say the s/l is believable if you look at the history of Marissa. Her perfect family life that is all she knows ends with her parents car crash. Then, she finds out David and Krystal are her real parents and her sister's widowed husband is drawn to her. Marissa was always spunky & strong (she held her own w/Liza & got shot), but she was sweet and innocent too. She wanted what she lost-family. Ofcourse, JR & Annie ruined that - I remember Annie taunting her about not being able to satisfy JR...hell my gaydar was going off back then! JR hurt Marissa, hurt her bad and it made her not as sweet and even tougher. Enter SG as Marissa-which was awesome casting btw bc her expressions are dead on! Can I just say from experience that straight women can be "fluid" (the trendy word)with their feelings. I mean,c'mon, this is Bianca - how can anyone not fall for her! The real s/l will be where they go from here. I'm so glad the s/l did shift to Marissa's pov. The writer's have been great so far-keep it up!! SG & CBL just warm my heart with their performances! Has anyone else noticed a resemblance b/t CBL and Jennifer Beals? Like they could be sisters??
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES!!! I've always admired AMC for being so open minded to a gay storyline. Also, giving it the same respect as the straight ones. Not to mention Christina and Sarah are great together...AMAZING chemistry. Its very refreshing, keep it up AMC :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of Minx! I started watching AMC back when Bianca was pregnant and was addicted until Bianca and Maggie left together. I watched a little after, but the show was just not the same without Bianca. I watched off and on and picked it back up with Reese. I hated Reese but watched until again Bianca left. I was drawn in a couple of months ago when I realized there was a new Bianca and Marissa. There chemistry together was awesome! I kept watching hoping a romantic relationship would develop. Now I'm so addicted again and want more and more Minx! I believe Eden's Bianca belongs with Maggie, but Christina's is perfect with Marissa!
ReplyDeleteYes! I hope AMC doesn't skip through all the romance and them being physical for the first time now that they have confessed there feelings.
ReplyDeleteOMG Yes x100 Minx is the only reason I started watching AMC again.I love their chemistry and Bianca deserves to be with someone she loves and someone who loves her just as much.
ReplyDeleteYES! Beautiful storyline. So well written. Keep it going!
ReplyDeleteIn a word, YES.
ReplyDeleteWhat's lacking in daytime is romance. Marissa and Bianca have the chance to bring romance back to daytime.
Minx has chemistry and SG and CBL are both trained actresses from the theatre and it shows.
I want them front and center for the next twenty years at least.
Impressive story - well played and what soap operas are all about: creating anticipation and making your heart go pitter patter and keeping you interested. And did I mention they are both REALLY attractive? More Minx please.
Hell Yes! i love Minx!! I just can't get enough of them.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying MINX! Like some people, I've stopped watching when Eden Riegel and Elizabeth Hendrickson (BAM) left. I wondered what was going on w/ the nu Bianca (CBL) so I decided to watch AMC again early this year and perfect timing coz the Minx friendship was beginning. Anyhoo, since AMC will move to the web, I'm thinking perhaps Maggie Stone can come back as an established doctor already (and work in PVU) and reclaim her woman - Binx. LOL! I'm just sayin, since they've recast Bianca and Marissa and some other characters, why not recast Maggie too? Then it'll be a love triangle among Marissa, Bianca and Maggie. Hello Prospect Park - are you reading this? Love triangle between BAM and MINX equals Bianca "angst". Heheh. ;) Now there's a story for ya. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am really liking them. They are very cute and have great chemistry. They remind me a lot of Otalia. :)
ReplyDeleteCBL and SG are great! I love minx they're waaay too cute!
ReplyDeleteI know this is not exactly the most feasible idea but... since AMC is ending, we should have a Minx spin off! ;)
I forgot to note that all three of the women that Bianca has "turned"-- Frankie, Maggie and now Marissa-- have all been a twin. Ripe for scientific study.
ReplyDeleteI don't get all the love for these two.There not the worst couple on the show but they have no sexual chemistry and their first kiss was really awkward.
ReplyDelete
