ABC SOAPS SUMMER PREVIEWS

ALL MY CHILDREN

According to SoapCentral.com, three current Pine Valley residents will find love in the coming months--Ryan, Simone, and Josh. Now I am just guessing here, but the new woman in Ryan's life is likely to be Annie McDermott. After all, the casting call reportedly said this character would be a love interest for Mr. Lavery.

Both Josh and Simone are said to fall for someone "unlikely". Could it be that these two are destined to get together? That actually could make things interesting at Fusion. Josh seems to think that Babe hung the moon while Simone feels Mrs. Chandler is the devil on earth. In Simone, Josh would have an ally in his quest to bring down J.R. But would their conflicting opinions about Babe doom the romance right from the start.

ONE LIFE TO LIVE

The groundwork has been laid for some interesting triangles in Llanview. Summer romance is always fun, and watching these characters forge relationships should be interesting.

The Dorian-Clint-Vicky story will be fun for long-time viewers. The bad blood between these women is well known, as is the deep bond between Clint and Vicky. That Dorian is interested in Clint is surprising, as she normally despises all things Buchanan. Is this just an attempt to take away something that Vicky loves? Or is Dorian trying to forget that she loves David?

Evangelne and Cristian are enjoying each other's company. Their relationships is based on mutual respect and friendship--the type of love that is most likely to survive in the real world. But is it enough in Soap Land? If Todd sets his sights on his lawyer, things might get rocky for this duo. Vange is a smart woman, but will she be able to tell if Todd's affection is genuine or just an attempt to get over Blair?

Expect more fireworks between Antonio, Jessica, Nash, and Claudia. I expet that when Ms. Buchanan's personalities blend, she will be torn between the two men in her life. Each will do everything in his power to prove his love. Antonio will likely have the help of Claudia in his quest to win--keep?--Jessica's love. Will working together to keep Nash and Jess apart cause Antonio and Claudia to fall in love?

GENERAL HOSPITAL

Now that Dillon has turned to Lulu, Georgie is free to do what she wants with Diego. Not that she really seems to know what she wants. Dillon and Lulu's relationship is based on a lie. When he learns the truth, it might be too late to make amends with his wife. By then, it may not matter--Dillon could be too in love with Lulu to care.

Manny's death brings changes to Port Charles. Most notable at this point is Sam's reluctant acceptance of Jason's rejection. Rather than try to win him back, it seems that she will focus her energies on making Alexis pay for turning Jason away. Will this vendetta lead to the identity of Sam's father? Perhaps it will lead to an affair with Ric. After all, he has been giving his new-found step-daughter some rather intimate glances recently.
