AMC Introducing Transgender Storyline

All My Children is known for being a pioneer in controversial story lines. They've dealt with the death of children, Drinking and Driving, Organ Donation, Abortion, they even made the daughter of main character Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) a well respected Lesbian. They're now pioneering another storyline by introducing a Transgender character played by Jeffrey Carlson. Sadly, they gave him the very stupid name of Zarf and are rumored to be taking this in a comedic direction. Hopefully the rumors are wrong and AMC will play this out respectfully.
