This week, on All My Children...

• Babe is stunned when Richie tells her that he's dying.

• Jonathan (Jeff Branson, pictured) tells Ryan that he has evidence someone hacked into their corporate e-mail account.

• Zach walks out on Kendall after she lashes out at him.

• Ryan learns that Richie killed a child years ago.

Alicia Minshew (Kendall) told a Soap Opera Weekly reporter recently that she was a bit displeased with the step backward that Kendall is taking revenge on Greenlee this late in the game.

“Being devious is always fun. But there are times when I feel she takes a few steps backward, and I don't want her to go backward," the actress said.

"I want her to realize that she has two children now, and revenge is not the way. I want to show that this woman has grown.”

How would Minshew write this story line on All My Children? Greenlee should be punished, but not this harshly.

Instead of taking this step backward, Minshew suggested forgiveness and a European vacation for Kendall and Zach, along with therapy and a friendship forever for Kendall and Greenlee (Sabine Singh).

Soap Opera Digest went behind the scenes of Wheel of Fortune as soap opera stars from Guiding Light, All My Children, One Life to Live and Days of Our Lives partnered up with contestants, hoping to win big for their favorite charities at the game show’s annual Celebrity Week.

"I used to watch soaps before I had children and started on TV myself. They're so addictive, you have to watch them. I did for years and years and years!" Vanna White laughed.

From there, the soap stars slowly trickled in. The perfectly coiffed Jacob Young (JR, All My Children, pictured here with Robin Strasser from One Life to Live) was pumped to battle it out against other daytimers.

"I'm actually going to have my partner do all the work. I'm just here posing," he joked.

So what fellow Pine Valley denizen would he like to play in a one-on-one game show showdown? "Wow. I don’t know. That's difficult because I would beat every single one of them! I guess Aiden Turner [Aidan] because he's English," Young said.

Guiding Light'ss Gina Tognoni, representing the Hands On Network, was stunned to be playing on the game show she'd always watched with her grandmother.

"When I watched, I would check out who the celebrities were and now I'm on it! I'm thrilled!" she exlaimed.
