Baby Boom-
AMC's Baby in the Middle (SOU
4/16/1996)
"The arrival of the stork is most often a joyous occassion. But what is common in everyday life, is never the norm when it comes to soaps! For instance, when was the last time you heard of a birth mother living with the couple who adopted her baby, after the baby was born? On AMC, Kelsey has managed to do just that. She has pulled one stunt after another, trying to get closer and closer to Edmund. 'Kelsey is a loose cannon... and everyone has to realize that,' says AMC's outgoing executive producer Felicia Minei Behr. 'Now that she realizes she has ammunition in the form of a child, anything is possible.'
'This baby will deeply affect many, many lives- Edmund, Maria, Kelsey, Bobby, Palmer, Opal, Joe and Anita,' promises AMC headwriter Lorraine Broderick. 'Genetically speaking and via the adoption, (Sam) is connected to all of the major Pine Valley families. He will leave no lives untouched.'
As of yet, no one in Pine Valley other than Bobby and Kelsey know the identity of Sam's father. 'I can't wait for Bobby to be a factor,' says Brian Gaskill of his character. 'I think that eventually he will get a little territorial and say, "Hey, this is my kid."' To complicate things even further, there is always the possibility that Maria will conceive her own child. And if Kelsey succeeds in driving Edmund and Maria apart, who knows what could happen in the forseeable future! Ah, the joys of parenthood!"
