Vincent named in Soap Opera Digest’s “Editor’s Choice”
In the most recent Soap Opera Digest, Vincent’s/David’s return is praised in a great writeup from the mag’s “Editor’s Choice” column –
“In an episode that was simultaneously over-the-top preposterous and compulsively watchable, David took the stand and filled in the many blanks left by his faux demise. It was an expository tour de force by Irizarry, whose smooth facility for making his vilified alter ego seem like a hero in his own eyes hadn’t waned a bit during his months-long absence. But from Darnell Williams’ (Jesse) stunned double take at this first glimpse of his resurrected nemesis to the scorching tirade of betrayed daughter Marissa (Brittany Allen, in the waning days of her AMC career, gave her most powerful perfomance to date) to the rage/relief/remorse cascading all over Rebecca Budig’s (Greenlee) expressive face, no one lacked for scenery to chew, and while viewers will likely long debate whether the end justified the means, we must salute AMC for bringing this wild ride to a close in rollicking fashion–and for not letting Irizarry get away.”

All My Children’s New Opening Credits
Thanks to TV Guide, we get a sneak peek of the new AMC opening credits before it is scheduled to air on Wednesday, December 22, 2010! Dr. Hayward looks better than ever… 
ABC’s flagship soap All My Children hasn’t had a new opening credits sequence in ages — in fact, not since Julie Hanan Carruthers took over as executive producer in the 2002-03 season. But a brand new opener is set to debut Wednesday, December 22. Gone are the archival scrapbook photos seen in the current credits, as well as images of David Canary (Adam) and Ray MacDonnell (Joe), who have retired from the show, and James Mitchell (Palmer), who died early this year. That’s not all that’s missing: Carruthers decided to drop those stagey glamour shots of the AMC stars and replaced them with actual AMC clips for a fresher, more natural look. “The thought was to be more true to the characters and make their environments and lifestyles more specific in order to give the audience a window into Pine Valley,” says Carruthers. TV Guide Magazine brings you this exclusive first look.
