Soapnet was nice enough to allow Alicia Minshew to be in Vanessa's return promo

I love how it says Kendall returns 8/9 and Brenda returns 8/11 but doesn't mention that 8/10 is Brendapalooza (or as I like to call it: Brendakkah).

I have to admit that I'm watching these clips on SoapNet and I see why people liked her so much. I also see what people are talking about re: Steve Burton. Yikes!

Are you talking about the complete change in his physical appearance?

Are you talking about the complete change in his physical appearance?

Yes. It's like two different people. Perhaps he needs to up his Monavie intake.

Thank you for posting the links! I had no idea she did an interview with Michael Fairman! She always gives such insightful interviews. Her take on Kendall is on point, I feel the same way as her on a lot of the thigns she says. These are my favorite quotes from her in the interview:

I know. I was almost on the show everyday. And, let's not forget about being in the hospital with two comas! (Laughs) I said to the producers, "I want to have great story and be involved in this story, but is it possible to work a little less?" I am finding right now, that they are really good at not just having three people carrying the blunt of the story. There are so many good and different storylines right now, and everyone has a really great part. It seems more even-keeled now with the new writers.

Then, I think back to before there was Zack, and Kendall was wild. Kendall was with Ryan for a while and J.R. And, if you take a look at Kendall before Zach, she was sort of a force… that was a strong woman who was all over the place, and who was fun, and who didn't have kids. However, now that Kendall does have kids, and she did find the love of her life, she is definitely different. But I think if she truly had to be alone for a while, it could be interesting.

MICHAEL:

Who would be an interesting choice for a man for Kendall if Zach were no longer on the canvas, God forbid!

ALICIA:

That I haven't been with? (Laughs) Not Ryan… been there, done that. Would it be David? Do I want Greenlee's sloppy-seconds? I don't know.

MICHAEL:

What about a brand new man? I think that would make more sense, somebody down the road whom she takes a fancy to or is attracted to, that she does not have years of baggage with. Like the idea?

ALICIA:

Even I am so dedicated to Kendall and Zach, but again, we all must move on at some point. If that is the way it has to be, then why not? I also feel there would need to be a good amount of time for her to get over Zach. I do not want her to be thrown in with somebody else immediately, because that would make Kendall look needy. Let her be alone for awhile!

Yeah, I was shocked! Last time I saw AMC, Madison was a bad girl and a wife of somebody, and Ryan was Ryan. Then I saw them kissing! I was like, "What happened to Greenlee?" But I kind of like Madison and Ryan together. It was nice to see Ryan with someone other than Kendall and Greenlee. Also, I had no idea who Caleb was. I met Michael Nouri (Caleb) and I like him! I think he is great! I do work with him in a couple upcoming episodes. I was like, "What is he doing here?" (Laughs)

MICHAEL:

Now that you're back, do you have the feeling that new AMC head writers, David Kreizman and Donna Swajeski, are sort of feeling you out?

ALICIA:

Yes. I think the new writers are feeling me out now. They don't know me. I definitely think they are going to test the waters with me and see what they can do, which is always fun, because it's not the same thing. I can tell you they wrote some scenes with me and Thorsten that I just really loved, and scenes with Greenlee and Ryan already, and so they are familiar with my work from that. This gives me something to look forward to… something new and something different.

MICHAEL:

So, if you could have a direction for Kendall for the fall of 2010, with the new head writers of AMC, after all is said and done, what qualities would you like this version of Kendall to have?

ALICIA:

If I am not with Zach, I would like Kendall not to be a pushover and be really ballsy, and even more than she usually is. When I first started she was a first class bitch! But then, she softened up more after she became a mom. I like the idea of her causing trouble. I think it would be great if she were a good solid person when it comes to her children, but then you see a totally different side of her. I would also love to see more humor in her. Sometimes Michael Knight and Susan Lucci, as Erica and Tad, respectively, can be hilarious and Kendall could be, too. There have been some funny moments in the past, but I think if you add more of that in, that adds another element to the reality of life. In my own personal life, I laugh all the time about so many things. So why not bring that to the show?

Here's a new promo featuring Kendall, Rylee and David

They're killing my show.

Why does Kendall give 2 sh-ts about this brat? Did she forget that the reason she was not allowed to come back home before this was bc Greenlee blackmailed her and threatened to have her sent to prison for murder if she stepped foot in town? Did she forget that Greenlee was willing to send her to prison for that lie and keep her from her children and family? Did she forget that Greenlee tried hard to destroy her company, and hurt those that she loved (Erica and Ryan). Kendall is a better person than me bc I would leave Greenlee to rot in her own misery which she brought upon herself

That promo is such crap!

Greenlee and David were happy but the writers just had to do a forced plot-point to bring the 3 Musketeers together again.

Word.

Concur. I don't see the appeal of Kendall and Greenlee as friends. Their relationship makes no sense to me.
