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

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.

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?

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.

    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.  
    • https://x.com/MicheleValJean/status/1919575319146856657  
    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.
