But weren't they fake fighting when she first came back, that slap and all? I forget what caused Kendall to have it out for Erica again. And yes, everyone was saying how much AM looked like SL when she first joined the show. She is beautiful, so is SMG (who perhaps looks more like she could be Victoria Wyndham's daugter).

I do love that Kendall is such a topic of discussion. People who hate her, just LOVE to talk about her, intersting to say the least

It's funny, Kendall and Erika did make some peace when SMG left in the role.

Then they brought Kendall back to destroy Erika again with Minchew.

OK, that was a great clip. I wonder where that ring is now? Oh, and Kendall sure did take Alice for granted. She never gets mentioned EVER!

I feel like we tend to glorify things when we look back. SMG was on the show for 2 years. The second year, IMO was full of bad story. That stupid leopard statue thing. See, I blocked it out, lol. I squirmed watching Kendall most of that second year when they detached her from SL/Erica. I think it's been the same with AM, 50/50 in terms of story.

you mean Anton's paternity and her marriage with him? Sorry but I loved that. I thought she did great with him.

You and AllMyDays@GH should start a club of 2.

I cant even remmeber but it was stupid. Erica wanted to take the fall for Frankie's murder to protect Bianca so she decided to get the once person who would hate her enough to send her to prison....Kendall. Kendall who hadnt seen her in 7 years adn had nothing relevant to add to the case was brought on to stir up trouble and make Erica look bad. This was about the time I tuned of AMC. Maybe someone else can calrify

I read that the Spinelli book is selling very well, shouldn't that show TIIC that there is an audience for soaps? I mean it's not like it's anyone but soap fans buying it.

SMG's time at AMC was also a lot more exciting imo. The original s/l and the subsequent Richard Fields stuff was miss a day miss a lot, it was very entertaining stuff to watch which definitely smoothed over any shortcomings her acting may have had (and there really weren't any). I think she did very well for a kid her age. I agree that the laypore[/Corvina] stuff was dumb and her stuff with Del I've pretty much forgotten, but Erica's long lost daughter was the best Kendall s/l ever.

I just hate the shrieking shrew and would love it if the final scene was Agnes whapping her upside the head with "the good book."

I loved Anton/Kendall, but he was bitter throughout that marriage and drooling over Julia. Kendall was scheming with Corvina and that story IMO was the stupid, all I remember is there was some leopard statue for months. I didn't enjoy Kendall's story that second year, except for everything that led to her going back to Alice - makings amends with everybody. It was like going from nice home-cooked meals with Kerica to dog-food due to SL/SMG's issues, IMO.

yeah that made NO sense. They made peace back in 1995. There was no reason for Kendall to be brought back 7 years later and the two hating and fighting. The show didnt really give a valid reason for this.

The show, IMO, gave a very valid reason and it played into Kendall & Erica's history. In the seven years Kendall had been gone, Erica never once contacted her until she needed her for Bianca's sake. I'd believe that as Erica could only manage an I'll always care about you at the end, they had been on bad terms until that goodbye. Then on Erica's side, Kendall came back so willing to throw her under the bus. I liked that they kept the chasm going for a couple more years.

SMG's Kendall played much more of the bitch than the vulnerable and AM's Kendall played a good bit more vulnerable than the bitch. In the end, I preferred AM's version. I thought both actresses did a wonderful job with Kendall's long-term main story vein, the need for Erica's love and the self-destructiveness in that.

Kendall and Corvina...and Erica LOL

Kendall threatens suicide

I honestly think part of it comes from the frustration of having a character shoved down our throats year in and year out played by an actress without the ability to project any depth. Like I said, Lish can be perfectly competent, and I think she would've been better served if she were playing a supporting character, like an Amanda. But to position this one-note actress into the show's lead heroine was a disastrous miscalculation on TPTB's part, and then to let her down with bad writing just compounded the whole thing. I'm fine with having a character appear in every episode. That doesn't bother me that much. But for heaven's sake, if you're going to play a character 24x7, at least hire an actress who has the ability to carry all that story and who can elevate the writing when it's weak.

SMG should definitely come back. I think she would.
