Umm they recast Kendall 7 years after her first portrayer left...

I'd take SMG any day over that dreadful Alicia Minshew. SMG was the definitive Kendall, IMO.

thank god! Im sick of her coming and leaving

TBH, I really hope this was AMC saying to Riegel that unless she was going to commit long term, it would be a NO. For her to expect that she can just swan in and out as she pleases is ridiculous, and isn't fair on the fans.

I think she might stay if she were given a better story. Both she and Tamara bolted early the last time because the story sucked eggs.

They don't have anything to write for Bianca. She's not straight, and she already has kids, so that cuts off all of the story possibilities for a woman on this show. That's why I don't think we will see her again, recast or Eden, unless Bianca goes straight. They certainly had no problem bringing Budig back, even though she quit as soon as her contract was up and trashed the writing.

Regarding the theory that it didn't work out because Eden only wanted to come back short-term to use AMC as an ATM, this is a quote from her on SOD Online:

"I was really bummed out when it didn't work out for me to come back for a long-term contract,"

Seems like she wants to get it out there that she was indeed interested in a long-term deal. (Although she has used "long-term" in the past to refer to 6 month and 4 month contract stints....)

Exactly. Long term to her is probably more than a month.... As I said before, hopefully now everyone can move on.

I like Eden, but I think she needs to be careful with what she says or what people in her camp say. I found this on twitter posted by Heather, one of the "Imaginary Bitches" in response to Nelson Branco's idea of having Andrew Miller, Eden's husband, head write All My Children.

TVGuide.ca wants Andrew to be AMC co-head writer. Stupid Canadians! The last thing America needs is more Eden. http://bit.ly/5COVGL

It's AMC. It's doesn't matter what he writes if no one's watching.

Yes the ratings suck, but this shouldn't be the way you treat your former employer, even if they gave you a crappy storyline. Eden and her people need to take the high road.

Yikes, yeah, that's no good, even tongue in cheek... you know how sensitive creative types can be. But I have a feeling that ER has had a few near misses out in Hollywood. I auditioned for a movie a few months back, and in the breakdown it read that the young heroine would most likely be played by Olivia Wilde or ER, and OW ended up getting the part. So I can imagine where ER's brain probably is right now in terms of longterm commitments/a desire to make some of that quick soap dough/genuine affection for a good, groundbreaking part that made her career.
