Members SteveFrame Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Funny that "SOME" think she is a more popular character while the general concensus that I read thinks she is worse character though. Minshew might have made her more popular but she along with the writing and overexposure ruined her character and have made just as many that love her hate her and just want her to go away. Personally for AMC I wish Kendall and Zendall were as popular as their fan base thinks they are. But that works for any show. If EJami and Nuke and Phick and Shick and Brick and Bridge and all were AS POPULAR AS THEIR FAN BASES make them out to be daytime soap operas would have no problem with ratings at all. Because if they were that popular AMC would be the #1 show in all of television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 My God, this "Kendall is on the backburner" [!@#$%^&*] has got to go. She's been on the frontburner for seven years, and there is no end in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 THAT is only because Alicia Minshew got vacation time for her honeymoon, if she hadn't, she would of been on nearly daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 OMG, which show ARE you watching then? The woman is in coma and she has more appereances than La Kane. As much as I love AM, I can't stand that hypocritial shrew called Kendall Hart Slater. SMG got an Emmy for Kendall. AM did not. I think this proves which Kendall was more popular.

Members Cat Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Different strokes for different folks, people. Some have their favourite Kendalls, others their favourite Carlys etc. I personally feel like SMG and AM are playing two completely different characters. SMG's Kendall was obviously a wounded bad girl lashing out at everybody. While AM's Kendall is essentially a Scarlett O'Hara clone. I put that down to the writing, starting with McTavish who wrote the Ken-Doll she wanted to write. But whoever said Kendall hasn't been on since October -- woah. I tuned in in October right through to her coma trauma and girl was on every day. Usually picking on Annie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I don't think Kendall (in her coma) was picking on Annie. Annie is more involved with Ryan/Greenlee/Aidan then Kendall. I bet anything that Kendall was still probably mentioned several times a day even when AM wasn't on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I loved SMG Kendall so much! AM is decent at best. IMO shes way to overrated........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 If it wasn't for the fact that I'm not able to catch some of my soaps IRL, I wouldn't even watch SoapNet. This is just stupid, and the first episode-obviously Ryan/CM pimpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nell17 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'll watch it. I love both SMG and AM as Kendall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Minshew isn't even an adequate replacement for constipation. She is the outright worst of the worst. I think it is not a coincidence at that that the moment the show stopped being about Erica and starring Susan Lucci and started being a showcase for this person with no screen presence, talent or charisma, that AMC ratings basically went into the cellar.

Members Pine Charles Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 They could have at least included one SMG episode. Well, if it was up to me, I would have every episode be SMG..... -After Bianca's horse riding accident, Kendall reveals to Erica that she is her daughter -Kendall locks Bianca in the Wild Wind crypt -Kendall seduces Anton and tells Erica that Dimitri raped her -Kendall fakes suicide to test Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Absolutely! I have a difficult time enjoying a show when it's center is a mediocre actress (at best) playing a character completely lacking any substance! Another sign that Soapnet is total crappage, and I will certainly miss this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 TPTB look at Kendall as sort of a modern-day Erica, I think, in regards to a character's place on the canvas and importance to the show. They couldn't be any further from the truth if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rhiannon Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Soapnet isn't showing any SMG episodes because Fons doesn't want anyone to remember that Kendall was played anyone except AM..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 That's why SMG got a hit television, hit movies and gets upwards of 6 million a movie. Yeah that's right. She can't act worth nothing. Doubtful. The show was much more popular back in the mid ninties then it ever was now, so I find it hard to argue that Kendell is more popular now when the show can barely scratch over 2 million household viewers. Kendell has been the number one most featured character on AMC for 6 out of the 9 years since the turn of the century. Kendell was always more intriguing and electrifying as the outsider scratching her way into the inside. There is a reason why she has never scored an emmy nomination.
