Edmund and Maria make love after she accepts his proposal. (x)

*I have no idea why these gifs are uploading in weird sizes.
I'll fix this once I get to my main computer that has the original gifs saved.

I loved Edmund and Maria, one of my favorite AMC couples. This person has been posting their clips so it's perfect for fans of them.

Oh thank you! How could I have missed this channel? Wow! These are some gems!!! I need to download that whole channel! LOL. What a beautiful YT channel name. "Wildwind Chronicles", I love it.

Thanks for starting this one! Will add to the board guide.

[Butterfly85]

I still hope someone makes a channel like this for Noah/Julia. I know the episodes are up but I would love clips of only them lol. Glad they have one for Edmund/Maria, I've already seen most of the scenes they put up though so I haven't really been watching them.

[eternalfate]

I appreciate all the channels that can help us relive the greatness of these past relationships.

This was a campy/funny clip of Edmund as his Eduardo character

Oh my GOD. He was SO sexy in those short shorts and leather pants, holy cow. *fans self*

The lady who runs the Wildwind Chronicles YouTube Channel shared this article with me. It's SO good. It made me so happy to read how much Eva and John always loved each other. What a beautiful love story, until the very end, and forever.

Eva LaRue Talks On Her Daytime Emmy Nomination, And Opens Up About The Loss Of John Callahan




I had heard you ended up running to Palm Springs to be near John. I can’t even imagine what that must have been like.

EVA: The only good thing about this pandemic is that we had been shut down for only two weeks at that point. Kaya and I got in the car. John had some heart procedures the day before, on a Thursday. I called him in the morning before he went in for the procedure. I said, “Call me as soon as you get out of there. Call me as soon as you come-to again, and you’re good,” and he said, “Okay, I will.” I said, “I’m going to send Kaya out to you on Friday for the weekend, just so you have somebody to hang out and watch you, and I might come out too,” And then, I said, “Maybe, I’ll come down too in case you are feeling weak, just to watch out for you for the weekend.” So, he called me after the procedure. I said, “I cannot believe they sent you home! You just had some major heart stuff done.” He said, “Oh no, they said I’m fine. It was just run-of-the-mill heart stuff, angiogram…” I was like, “Are you sure?” He said, “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just tired. I’m going to go to sleep.” I said, “Do you want me to send Kaya out tonight?” and he was like, “No, no, no. Send her tomorrow.” So, in the morning, I called him at 9:00am. No answer. I texted him. He always texted me like Johnny on the spot, and then texts me immediately back. So, I call him again at 10. Nothing. His best friend calls me about a half-hour later, “Hey, I talked to John at about 8:00 this morning. He said he was feeling really, really ****ty and was going to go back to the hospital, and then, I texted him again at like 8:30 to just tell him something, and he hasn’t texted me back, and he always texts me immediately back.” I said, “Oh my, God, I’ve been trying to get a hold of him for two hours; he hasn’t texted me back,” I said, “You know what, I’ll call you back.” So, I called his friend who lives down the street from John, and I said, “Go to his house, please right this second, knock on the door, jump the fence, knock on his bedroom, he might be asleep, I don’t know.” So, he gets there, nobody is answering. I said, “Break into the house please. So, he did, and John was collapsed in the bathroom. They called the paramedics, and as soon as they called me back and said, “John is unresponsive in the bathroom,” Kaya and I threw everything in the car, and what usually takes us two and a half hours without traffic, we made it down there from Los Angeles in an hour and forty-five minutes.

I don’t know how you made it down there in one piece. Thank, God!

EVA: I drove so fast, like literally broke all land speed records and thank God because we got there just in time. He was in emergency. He hadn’t been put up in ICU yet, where we wouldn’t have been able to see him. They weren’t going to let us in the hospital. Thank God the person answering the door was an All My Children fan. She was the one saying, “Sorry, no one is allowed in the hospital, no one can come in,” and I was like, “No, no, no, my ex-husband just came in.” She said, “Was it Edmund?” and I said, “Yes, it was Edmund!” She said, “Okay, follow me.” Thank God for All My Children. Thank God. So, we followed this woman secretly, and we get to spend a half-hour with him in Emergency. He was already on life-support, totally unresponsive, but we got to play John his favorite music, we got to just sit there and hold his hand and talk to him, and tell him how much we loved him. Sarah Michelle Gellar called right when we were in the hospital in Emergency, and she said, “Put the phone by his ear,” so I put the phone by his ear, and she talked to John too, and she told him how much she loved him. She used to always call him “GP”, which was short of grandpa, because she came on the show when she was 15, and she didn’t have a dad, and John acted like a dad to her – but she used to always call him “grandpa”, and he hated “grandpa”, so he was like, “You can call me “GP”, but not grandpa,” so she always called him GP. I just put the phone by John’s ear, and what was crazy is that when she talked to him, his feet started twitching. He started moving his feet. Then, when Kaya was talking to him about Yankee season, he started moving his feet. We were kind of hopeful that something was changing for the better. We had about a half-hour with him, and then, they took him up to ICU, and then, we knew we couldn’t see him again. They called us later that night that he had passed.

--

Bless the person at the hospital for being a fan and for recognizing the two of them and knowing that they were supposed to be together. I love that she called him "Edmund" and that Eva was so relieved and said, "Yes! Edmund!" That got to me. Ohhhh. *hearts*

[Butterfly85]

Aww, what a read even though it makes me sad again. He started twitchng when SMG and his daughter talked to him, he could hear them and was trying to respond. Also like the picture of the three of them, always wondered what their daughter looks like. I'll miss JC.

I just thought I would post this channel again since the last few days they posted a lot of clips of when Maria returned in 2002. I forgot all about the story where Edmund and Maria were on the way to falling in love all over again before they changed writers and derailed that amazing story to force her with Aidan. That was the main thing I always remembered about her horrible return but the beginning was pretty good, I wish they would of kept that writer then Maria's whole return would of been better received and been a success. Apparently, the story of Edmund and Maria getting to know each other and falling for each other again was the pitch that made ELR return back then, and she was pissed when they changed it to Aidan being a wannabe James Bond with a immature Maria following him around *pukes* The scenes after Maria gets her memory back and reunites with Edmund are so damn good, better than I thought they would be so I was pleasantly surprised. Just another thing showing why they are one of the best couples on AMC.

^ Thanks for that.

Hi,
I’m an new to this forum but not new to Edmund and Maria. Just wanted to show some love to my favorite soap opera couple. And btw that was my channel mentioned above but unfortunately it got taken down. It was fun to go back through their storyline. I had forgotten how good it was in the mid-90s. I’d say those were the golden years of AMC. We don’t need to discuss anything after 2003. Lol

Just throwing this out there (hope it’s okay) but I have been looking for some first generation mid-90s AMC eps on VHS to add to my collection. I used to tape the episodes but I’m not sure what I did with most of them. Just PM here if anyone has an info

[Butterfly85]

^^^OMFG hey! God, I miss your channel. I still don't get why YT wiped out all the AMC channels and episodes, but now they are back to not caring for the time being. I'm just glad I got most of them committed to memory. I also forgot we even had this thread and that I even posted in it lol. I wish this thread got more love, Edmund/Maria were always one of my favorite AMC couples.

[Sandy0401]

Ohh I never watched much with Edumund and Maria but welcome it's nice to have some more fellow soap fans on here
