Is It Time to Go Home Yet?

Previously, I had written a post about my quest to determine the location of Pine Valley in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania—home to the cast of characters on ABC's All My Children—and how the show's repeated scenes of lush tropical beaches, deep virgin forests, endless metropolitan skylines, and an occasional lack of gravity, hadn't been of much help. What makes this situation even more confusing is Erica Kane's wardrobe. No matter the location or occasion, Erica is always wearing some type of sleeveless cocktail dress accompanied by giant pendulous earrings and high heels. For example, she could be in any of the following locations or situations:

  • at the beach
  • ice fishing in Minnesota
  • in a courtroom
  • cage fighting in Thailand
  • in a deep-sea diving bell
  • trapped somewhere in the future
  • in a volcano
  • wrestling a gorilla
  • in surgery (performing or receiving)
  • folk dancing in Sweden
  • on the moon
  • repairing potholes on I-95
  • in the Gobi desert
  • providing guidance to teens with personal problems
  • at King Richard's Renaissance Fair
  • washing cars for charity
  • on the crapper
