(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- New "All My Children" Head Writer, Charles Pratt Jr., shakes up canvas with a natural disaster hitting Pine Valley.

Just in time for the all important November sweeps period, ABC's "All My Children" is looking to entice new viewers with a major tornado that will hit Pine Valley in October. Soap Opera Network can also confirm, as reported by TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco, that two major characters will die during the tornado and that there will be a number of guest appearances from past "All My Children" cast members.

A tornado last hit the fictional Pennsylvania town in 1994, when Julia Santos (Sydney Penny) received a scar after a chandelier fell on her during a party held at the Chandler mansion in honor of Adam (David Canary) and Gloria (Teresa Blake).

Stay tuned to Soap Opera Network as further storyline details become available.

The key here is '' a number of guest appearances will take place''.   So it has to be two characters with a long history, thus bringing back past cast members (like at Phoebe's funeral).  So, much to my sadness, it may Joe, Ruth, or Palmer.  Stuart did not have long relatiionships with past cast members, yet all were very fond of him.

The teaser didn't say if they were Male or Female characters, and I have read that Alicia Minshew's Contract has not been renewed, also on the Guiding Light board there is another teaser that says the fight for Daytime TV between CBS and ABC will heat up as one GL actor gets fired and is replaced by an AMC one...

I hope the two major characters that die will be GreenSTINK and Babe. Both are horrible actresses,and both characters suck!

I would love one of them to be Ryan, but I'm sure it'll be Aidan, so that they can put Ryan and Greenlee together. Also, that's probably how they'll get rid of Sam.

I think it comes down to their definition of "major" characters.  Since I have read that CP's intentions are to put the focus on Erica, Adam, and the three dysfunctional couples, I don't believe it is any of them.  "Major" to me means someone like Jack, or KWAK, although he may be doing away with Stuart and Fletcher.  With David coming back, we could easily lose a man or two--I vote for Frankie.  You know, one less bell to answer, one less egg to fry.....

  • Walt just signed a new multi year contract (YAY) and from what I undestand the first year cycle is 26 weeks. It's not Jack. EOM G
  • Glad to hear that! eom/CaroleA

    I'd love it to be Dre, Sam, and Carmen but I fear it's Myrtle, Palmer, or Joe Martin.

  • I don't think those three are considered major characters.

    I could have sworn that there's been other tornadoes since then. Wasn't there one that destroyed the Martin home and knocked Tad out so he 'saw' Jesse and/or Jenny? Or was that the same one?

  • Same one from 1994. /ilytd90
  • I thought there was another one, also. Dixie was listening to people talking and she didn't answer because she didn't want them to know she had been lurking around. What was that disaster? Oh yeah, and that's when Julia was killed off! Odd, she was in two disasters. pamb
  • That was when Janet blew up the place they were having the ball

    Thanks for the Scoop.

    I fear the major characters will be Palmer and Myrtle.

    I hope the major characters will be Kendall and Ryan.

  • I'm with you on the fear and the hope. MM
  • What would be the point of killing Palmer and Myrtle? They are hardly ever on, so I don't consider them major players. I'm with you on Ryan, though. eom/CaroleA
  • I also fear that it will be Palmer and Myrtle. Granted, they are never on, however, they are both still on contract, so, to TPTB, they would be freeing up some money. If Myrtle and/or my darling Palmer go, then I go too.

    Wow. They make that last tornado sound so catastrophic.... "when Julia received a scar."

    Here's my prediction:

    Annie will lose her baby, and Aiden will die - thus opening a clear path from Ryan to Greenlee.
    Sam Woods will die, freeing Erica to tease and toy with Jack 24/7.


    What I would like to see happen:

    Kendall receives a horrible SCAR! Zack emerges from the rubble with amnesia. He has no memory of ever knowing or loving Kendall, who is now transformed into a hideous scarred beast. He falls in love with Annie. Kendall goes psycho, tries to kill Annie, and gets locked up in prison. She loses custody of her neglected children. Z & A get married, and she adopts the boys. Now Kendall is free of the confines of her loving ex husband and children, and has plenty of time to focus on everyone else's lives.

  • I'd love the Slater prediction if we could substitute Annie for someone else. Having Aiden die makes sense unless tptb come to their senses about Rylee being over and done for the sake of viewers. eom/ky
  • Well - if Kendall has a bad scar she can look up the doctor who miraculously healed Erica's scar in about a second. MM
  • LOL at ''hideous scarred beast.'' //SqueezeMe
  • Maybe Erica still has that stupid ''phantom of the opera'' mask she can loan Kendall, hahahahaha!!! eom/tarabrent
  • Although Annie would not be my first choice for Zach, I just thought it would provide that extra twist of the knife to Kendall. She would hate it more than anything if Annie took her place with Zach and the boys. And my evil fantasy is to make Kendall as miserable as possible. /4everkid
