On March 23, 1995, the Internet welcomed a small, personal web site about a relatively unknown Pennsylvania resident.

Susan Lucci
July 2000
For any young actress, it must truly be a daunting task to play opposite a woman who is arguably one of --- if not the --- most recognizable faces in daytime television. At the same time, it must also be an incredibly exciting experience.

I get a huge amount of Email in any given week. Through talking with many users of the site, I've learned that I often receive more Email in one day than most people receive in a month! It's through all of this communication that I've gotten an inside look at the typical soap opera fan. Unless you want to argue that Soap Opera Central visitors aren't average...
Forbes March

Mathew St. Patrick has found a new home. Make that a new Home Box Office.
Agnes Nixon
October 2000
Her career spans over three decades and includes countless Daytime Emmys and other high honors.

Abigail Spencer
October 2000

In the five-plus years that The AMC Pages have been online, never has there been a back-to-back Inside AMC column. However, the fan reaction to the Becca storyline has been so overwhelming, that I felt it necessary to return again this week with a look at what people are saying.
Michael Nader
November 2000
There's another uproar regarding Michael Nader (Dimitri). Unlike the last time when the fury started when Michael Nader was sent packing, this time the commotion has started because Nader isn't packing --- packing his bags for the annual Super Soap Weekend.

Cady McClain
November 2000
Cady McClain has recently entered talks with ABC about renewing her contract, which is scheduled to expire in December. Typically, the networks begin negotiations about three months prior to the expiration of a contract. There's no word from either side if the "late" talks are a good or bad sign.
Sara Hugh
November 2000
The AMC Pages asked fans for their thoughts on the rumors in a Whaddya Think? poll question. We asked voters if they thought that Tina should leave town now that Adrian's gone. A whopping 40% of those responding to the poll said that they've been bored by Tina ever since she first set foot in town. However, one-in-three voters said that they see many possible storylines for Tina even without Adrian --- even if she has been a little boring.
