Greenlee's mother is named Mary Smythe and apparently slept with Jack sometime back in the day when she was married Roger Smythe. This all came out in the big drama surrounding the almost wedding of Jack and Erica something like a year and a half ago or something like that. Erica found out that Jack was her father, but hid it from him and Greenlee busted in on the wedding ceremony and announced this, causing Jack to call of the wedding.... And VOILA Jack is Greenlee's dad.

Lily is Jack's daughter who is adopted. She was living in Wherever with I have no idea who. I have no idea how she ended up back in Pine Valley. She also has autism which is why you may have thought that she acted a little bit strangely.

The only other kid that Jack has is Reggie, who he adopted (obviously). He was like the troubled teen, and Jack took him in and turned him into a good kid.

Oh wait, I found this on the AMC web site:

Lily is the daughter of Laurel Banning and Denny Benton, who divorced when Lily was young. Lily is autistic, and Laurel always made sure that Lily was in a school environment that properly could deal with her disorder. When Laurel married Jackson Montgomery, Jack adopted Lily. A few years later, Laurel was killed by a bullet meant for someone else.

Lily lived in a boarding school for autistic children, and Jack would frequently visit her. Eventually, Lily left the school and moved in with Jack, where she had been mainstreamed into public high school.

Now I have some catching up to do. I stopped watching AMC for a while when it got too "preachy." I missed the whole Noah, Julia thing. Can anyone update me on that?

From what I understood something happened and Noah and Julia were forced into the witness protection program. Now Julia is back in town. Someone saw her at Wildwind.

I'm not sure why they were forced into witness protection or why she feels it is safe to come out. (b/c in real life I think most who go into WP end up staying there for a long period of time, if not the rest of their life, which would suck).

I saw a commercial that said she's searching for Noah's murderer.

Aww, Noah died??? :(

When their whole story was beginning was about the time I started watching AMC.

I liked them together, and their drama was much fun.... That other girl pretending that she was having his baby?!? :eek: Haha

Anyway, that is sad that he died.

Correct me if I am wrong but this how I know it -- Julia was a witness in an attempted murder and had to testify against a powerful criminal and after testifying, her and noah had to go to a witness protection program to be safe... now she is back to find who killed noah but what I am confused about is why she thinks Zach knows who it is -- does anyone know that?

Anyways, I am really glad to see her back -- cant wait to see where this s/l goes :)

Just curious how long everyone has been watching?

I started when I was in college... some of the characters from back then:

Link
Kitty
Devon
Brandon Kingsly
Tara
Chuck
Phil
Little Phil
Tom Cuddahey (spelling?)
Nick
Nina Courtland
Myra
Cliff

Wouldn't it be great if they released the early episodes on DVD???!!!

I think Jonathan is alive and Erin is hiding him.

Benny
Mark & Ellen (Ellen was Devon's mother)
Wally
Mona
Ruth was on all the time
Margo
Ann
Paul


The show was so much better in those days. I really enjoyed the Erica marathon when they showed the old shows where the writing was good, the stories were great, the characters were fun to watch. Now they are the most boring do nothing except show off the young "beautiful" kids who can't act, have no good story lines and are not worth the time or the electric money spent to turn on the TV

DaffyKD

Agreed :rolleyes:
I don't care about Ryan, let alone his siblings.

And here we go again...

.... I am just DREADING the latest storyline. You know that Babe is going to pretend to cheat on Jamie "for his own good" so that he can get Aunt Phoebe's money. ARGGGGGH! This is going to be worst than having a root canal.

I just hate these storylines where they do that. Don't these women in Pine Valley ever learn?

I have to tell you... I'm getting pretty fed up. I'm sick of Ryan... Greenlee has morphed from a strong, intelligent and witty business woman to some irrational, stupid sniveling male-dependent girl.

Sam is just a pumpkin head. Go away Sam!

I don't care about Julia. I find her annoying.

Who cares about Dixie/Di. Go away!

How about bringing back some fun characters-- like the kooky shrink who was dating Tad... or how about Palmer's bratty son?

All I can say is.. thank goodness for the Fast Forward button on my VCR!!!

I absolutely agree with you. I started watching AMC when it first came on (1969 or something??) I can't even watch it anymore. I think the acting is sadly lacking and the story lines are terrible. I, too, would love to have a DVD of the real early episodes.

And... what is the deal with all of the women in Pine Valley running around in strapless dresses all the time? Are they all going through rush? :D

Jamie is the only one who dresses like a normal person with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. And, he fills them out quite nicely, thank you very much!

That's so true. Even in winter, they're go strapless. The best was when Greenlee and Ryan broke into Kendall's apartment and Greenlee was going thru her closet and said something like "Ever notice how Kendall always comes to the office dressed like she's going to cocktail hour".

Also, Kendall acting as Greenlee's surrogate is riddiculous. Three months ago she couldn't stand the girl and now she's going to carry her baby. Riiight.

I like the Kendall and Greenlee surrogacy storyline -- love how they have become closer and closer. Greenlee sort of have replaced Bianca -- nice to see Kendall hanging out with more girls

Did anyone see Babe get caught in bed with Josh today? Loved it!
