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'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous.
