Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the Spring of 1998, what was the reason for Ryan marrying Gillian?

Answer: So he could avoid being arrested for obtaining kick backs

While it was true that Ryan and Gillian's marriage entailed issues surrounding deportation, it was Gillian, not Ryan, who faced deportation. Just before Gillian planned to marry Scott Chandler, Liza discovered that Ryan, in his role as a WRCW salesman, illegally got kickbacks and she feared WRCW might get punished as a result of his criminal behavior.

As a result, Liza blackmailed Ryan into marrying Gillian by threatening to have him arrested unless he and Gillian married. Ryan acquiesced and the two wed.

2. Adam was the only Pine Valley resident to marry more times than the town's resident prima donna, Erica Kane. In late 1996, Adam's marriage to which person was intended to make both Tad and Brooke jealous?

Answer: Liza Colby

Adam and Liza were quite a popular couple during "All My Children" in the 1990s and early 2000s but their first of three marriages had nothing to do with love. The two brokered a deal to get engaged in the hopes that either Tad or Brooke would stop their wedding.

3. During the Spring of 2005, Kendall found herself to be both a bridesmaid and a bride. She was part of Jack and Erica's lovely, long-awaited wedding in Boca Raton, Florida. Shortly after Jack and Erica exchanged vows, Kendall revealed to Ethan that she married which person, not out of love, but to get back at Ethan for harboring an unhealthy grudge?

Answer: Zach Slater

Kendall and Zach had a whirlwind and rocky relationship during Zach's initial year in Pine Valley. Shortly after Zach arrived in town, his son, Ethan Cambias, came and tried to stake his claim on the Cambias fortune. Kendall and Ethan fell in love but eventually Ethan's obsession with proving his birthright became too much for Kendall.

As a result, she married Zach to spite him. Throughout the remainder of the 2005 calendar year, Zach and Kendall realized they were destined to be together and thus became one of the show's most notable super couples for the remainder of its run on ABC.
