SoapNet Has A Heart About Programs About Kendall Hart

I think she'd be more popular, at least on this board, if she wasn't so overexposed.

I've said this before and I"ll say it again: in the '80s and '90s, Erica was not showcased as frequently as Kendall has been in the last 10 years. It's truly overkill.

Back when Erica was at the height of her popularity AMC was run by individuals who knew how to balance the show and never let any of their characters get too overexposed.

Erica was always just one of the female leads and there were not just 2 of them either. In the early 70's she shared the spotlight with Tara & Ann who were the other 2 main leads with both Ruth and Phoebe getting quite a bit of air time too along with Mary & Kitty.

In the latter part of the 70's, Erica shared the spotlight with Ruth who really got more air time then than the early 70's. Tara was still running strong along with Donna and for awhile still Ann, Kitty, and Estelle too. Also Brooke was really starting to come into her own.

Then the 80's brought Brooke, Nina, Daisy, Donna, Jenny, Opal, Natalie, Liza, Ellen, and Angie who all got a lot of air time along with Erica.

AMC really knew back then how to balance their leads back then. All the decades AMC has had some strong female characters but I think the ladies of the 80's were the best. So many of them bounced back and forth from lead to supporting all the time. They were all great characters and all were very well cast.

Hey Kyle. This is for All the Posters. I think SoapNet is Having This Kendall Hart Marathan and having These Episodes because Kendall who is Alicia will Wake Up and Come out of her Coma. That is why They have Episodes of Alicia Minshew because She is Coming Back and Sarah Michelle Gellar is not the Kendall that will Wake up and come out of her Coma. It wouldn't make Sense to have Episodes of Sarah Michelle Gellar. This is Also Why They are not having An Erica Marathan. Alicia is Returning to All My Children after Taking Time off to be Married and Kendall is Coming out of the Coma. It's not Erica that is Coming out of A Coma or that Susan Lucci had been off the Show and Returning to the Show. Jody

It might be a big deal if Alicia had actually been gone. Most people don't even know she was off work. Since she has been shown during her off time more than many actors who are still working during this time.

So a marathon to celebrate her coming back to the show is stupid.

To celebrate kendall waking up from a coma should have included all of Kendall's story and that includes her story when SMG played her.

And Kendall is Kendall

Kendall is not SMG and she is not Alicia

They are just the actresses who played her.

I just turned this on -- the first episode when Kendall is back in 2002. LOVED this Kendall - Alicia does this character much better than the newer/nicer Kendall. She is just pure entertaining when she's a little evil. I've forgotten how good she was back in the day.

Chris Stamp -- oh god. Mia --- OH GOD.

The old openings!!! :wub: Damn, Jacob Young is so hot in this opening...

Oh wow - Erica was having some hair trouble in this second episodes - that frizzy curl do (a la Dixie circa 1999) doesn't work for her.

Oh crap I dont watch SN so I compltely forgot about this. Would have loved to have seen teh firs tone

Mia! Man I hated her, but Ive grown into such an Amelia Heinlee fan now thanks to Y&R

The opening! I love how the beat from the opening segment blended into the opening. Oh how I missed that

Eww, I didnt even remember this. She does look a mess. She has some nerve talking to Justin about his hair...lol

yeah Mia reminded me why I hated her. Pretty bad acting there with bad writing.

I liked Juan Pablo and I liked him Greens. Yeah I know Im the only one

Good lord this was back when I REALLY hate Ryan with a passion. Look at him grabbing Kendall, getting all up in her business and demanding to know the truth which is NONE of his business

Ugh I know --- he cannot keep his hands off Kendall - pushing her around, not to mention when she's claiming that she's pregnant. What an ass...And Ryan is still that way today. This was the beginning of THAT Ryan. Once Gillian died, he turned into this...I guess thanks to him getting with Kendall, or the writer? Anyway - it sucks and Ryan has been ruined.

I'll never forget being in Mexico on vacation in 2003 and seeing Juan Pablo in a Spanish commercial...haha.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
