SoapNet Has A Heart About Programs About Kendall Hart

[Cheap21]

the show completely dropped the ball on Amanda/Josh. I thought they could have been one hot duo. Watching the stuff now, its ahrd to beleive that she and Babe ever became BFF

[Angela]

All of them besides the first one were Megan McTavish.

[All My Shadows]

And the first one was Richard Culliton.

[R Sinclair]

And just to give a little more insight, Alicia's Kendall has been written by:

Richard Culliton: 2002 (Lish's debut as Kendall)

Gordon Rayfield: 2002-2003

Gordon Rayfield & Anna Theresa Cascio: 2003

the writer: 2003-2007 (This is when it turned into All My Babe with Kendall and Ryan)

James Harmon Brown & Barbara Esensten: 2007-2008

Charles Pratt, Jr.: 2008-Present

UGH! I missed the early episodes. Was Marcy Walker's Liza in any of these episodes?

[All My Shadows]

I wasn't a big fan of Rayfield at all, and Cascio only made it a little bit better (IMO), but McTash essentially ruined Kendall for me when she, Erica, and Bianca patched things up and became la Kane familia. She was much better in the more antagonistic role, being the girl/woman who clawed and scraped, maybe schemed and lied, to get what she wanted. I loved her being Petey's babysitter, which gave her some great interactions with Palmer and Opal. I even liked JR's little crush on her. Gosh...I really, really, really liked Kendall for a good year, but then it all just went horribly wrong.

[small voice]I was totally on Greenlee's side during the whole fake pregnancy thing, which lead, of course, to the infamous courtroom scene that showed just how well Lish and Becks work with each other.[/small voice]

Nope. As a matter of fact, the first two episodes were pretty Kane/Montgomery-centric. I don't recall anyone from the Chandler/Martin crowd, besides Mia and Jake.

[juniorz1]

Oh. Well forget that UGH then.

[R Sinclair]

That, unfortunately, is McTravesty's formula. Bring long lost family together and have them instantly bond as if they've been together forever and aren't strangers to each other.

Interesting. That was when I went back on my Greenlee hatred. I started to get sick of her during Richard Culliton's tenure -- the Everyone's Related to Leo era. But then I started to like her again, oddly enough, during the much hated Rayfield/Cascio era. And then, BAM! Hated her once she started going after Ryan and became obsessed with exposing Kendall's fake pregnancy -- and for what? I still have yet to get past that. That was the last time I truly supported Kendall without question... during the whole Cambias thing and the destruction of Rendall to create Rylee. Then, she just became a little too much. If Greenlee had done that several months ago, I wouldn't have cared about it at all.

I wasn't watching AMC at this time (bits and pieces here and there), and it was really interesting to watch Minshew flex the results of her Masters Degree from the Tori Spelling School of Acting (David Hasselhoff was the Dean of Students). And people talk about Trassions' nonacting pretty people. The girl was all kinds of aweful. She has grown, but not by much.

When I watched those eppies, I could not believe that AMC had so many bad performers then, and it's interesting to see that this has not changed much in 2009. Any wonder why CBS rakes in the awards?

All soaps have their handful of bad actors. ABC is and always has been on par with the CBS actors. I'm not going to try to persuade you, so I'll just leave it at that.

[ChitHappens]

With the exception of quite a few from OLTL, ABC is nowhere in the vicinity of CBS in the acting department. Sorry, but facts are facts! For every 1 potential award winner on CBS, I can give you 5 ridiculously bad performers from ABC.

[R Sinclair]

Seriously -- is this how you get off?

[ChitHappens]

I don't understand your point (assuming you have one). Would you mind clarifying? I stated my opinion, something you do regularly, but I am wrong for that?

ANDREA

[R Sinclair]

It's just your precious opinion was exceedingly vituperative. Almost as if you enjoyed saying such nasty things about a soap the rest of us enjoy. So, I guess I can ask for clarification as well. What was the point (assuming you had one) of watching a marathon dedicated to a character played by an actress you don't consider talented on a show that's on a network you don't like? Only so you can come in here and "Chit" all over the thread? Was that really necessary?

Again, just curious.

Forgive me for going off the topic, but, R Sinclair:

Your banner is hilarious!!!!!
