All My Children - 2001 - Brooke and Adam with David in the Middle

All My Children, 2001, Brooke opened the door to find a large package being carried by Leo. Laura grabbed the package from Leo and opened it. She pulled out several pieces of lingerie. She asked Leo if he would like to go to her room to see if they fit. Leo seemed hesitant as Brooke was in the other room. Laura replied that her mom didn't need to know. Leo grabbed the box and they headed for Laura's bedroom. The door bell rang, and Brooke opened the door to find David. He apologized for being late and explained that there had been a break-in at his hotel room. Brooke had to do something that she didn't want to do, tell Jamie how sick Laura was. She asked David if he would help her and he agreed. Jamie came downstairs and asked what David was doing there, staring at him suspiciously. Brooke explained that David was Laura's heart doctor. Jamie said ,"no way, JR hates him." Brooke replied that this wasn't about JR, it was about Laura; she was very very ill and needed David. Brooke explained Laura's condition to Jamie then David sat down and told Jamie that he understood why JR didn't like him, but he was a very good doctor and he would do everything he could to help Laura. Jamie thanked him. Just then, there was a pounding on the door. Brooke opened the door and Adam came in, ran immediately over to David, yelled "you cowardly, murdering bastard," and punched him. Brooke grabbed Adam and asked him what the hell was wrong with him, she explained that Laura was ill and didn't need any excitement. Adam asked her if she wanted to trust her daughter's care to a 'dope peddler.' Brooke was confused. An equally confused David questioned Adam and Adam told him that JR said David had given him drugs to keep him quiet. David told him that was absurd as Leo ran into the room. He shooed Jamie out of the room and asked what was going on. Adam told Leo that David had tried to kill his son and he would kill David himself but didn't think he'd get away with it. He pulled out his cell phone and told David he was going to call the police and they would put him back in jail. Brooke grabbed the phone and tossed it away and told Adam that David was going to save Laura's life and he was not to call the police. Adam and Brooke argued and then David stepped in and told Adam that JR was lying. David and Adam continued their fight in Brooke's living room. Brooke argued that David was there to help Laura and Adam said he'd hurt JR and Jamie could be next. David said "The only person that hurts JR is you Adam, and the only person lying is JR!". Adam said he didn't believe David and David invited him to "come and see". Brooke told Adam that if David has information regarding JR he should listen. Finally the two men left to go to David's room at the Valley Inn. When they arrived Adam said David had no proof but there was a knock on the door. David let in the bellboy who'd stopped JR earlier in the day just outside David's room. David asked the man to describe his encounter with JR. The bellboy said JR was belligerent and said he was "doing something for his father". He said a little while later he saw JR outside David's room and then David showed up and the two of them went inside. He saw them come out a few minutes later but watched JR go back into David's room and walk back out with his friends. David thanked the bellboy and let him leave. David told Adam he'd questioned the hotel staff and knows that JR and his friends broke into his room and stole the drugs out of his bag. Adam didn't believe this and said David must have paid the bellboy to make up this story. David said he'd be happy to have the police dust for fingerprints and Adam said that would just prove that David had invited the boys in. David said there was no way he'd be involved in something like this, he wouldn't risk his bail for something so stupid. "JR and his friends came in here to do mischief. Face it Adam, your boy has a problem, a serious problem!". Adam said he'd deal with JR and wondered if David was going to black mail JR. David listed all the bad things JR did and said he could have Adam arrested for assault. But he won't if Adam would give him what he wants. Adam said no way and David asked if JR will get in an ivy league school with a "juvie record". Adam called David the scum of the earth and David replied "I may be but I hold your son's future in my hands". David demanded that Adam use his clout to get the charges against him dropped. "You overestimate my power!" Adam told him. David said "If I go down, JR goes down." He then told Adam to take the night to think about it and Adam left the room. After he shut the door David laughed and said "Thank you JR, I owe you one!"

David C. and Vincent I. going at each other as Adam and David made for some of the best scenes on AMC. Two complicated villains always at odds. Immensely watchable. 😄👏

Haha! I love how Jamie’s innocent comment made Brooke laugh!

Irizarry must have learned some from Michael Zaslow on GL on how to be a good villain.
