SMG should play Jane Campbell's daughter: "Kendall, my mother is seriously ill, she's had this crazy Erica Kane obsession for as long as I can remember. I had no idea it had gone this far. I see so much of myself in you, I know we haven't had the easiest relationships with our mothers, but Kendall, you've got to convince Erica to have mercy on my mother!" *cue ♫dunh-dunh-dunh-dunh...♫*

:rolleyes:

I hated her Kendall, I think they modeled Greenlee after her Kendall, cause(pre-Rylee) there wasn't much difference, both are such one note characters who lack any depth or feeling, but at least SMG was better than RB could ever dream of being

Kendall was always alot more subtle and subdued than Greenlee ever was. Greenlee was written more like a pitbull. Extremely impulsive and quick to attack. That did not describe Kendall under SMG. She was more methodically and strategic with her schemes. She wasnt quick to pick fights and be a bitch just for the sake of being a bitch. Overall she was alot more sly, cunning and her approach to confrontation was more defensive whereas with Greenlee, she was more offensive, literally picking on and antagonizing others

Susan is SO ready to unleash. She actually answered Joy's "are you pissed?" with a Yes. She's almost like a jack in the box, we're winding her up and up and up and up and soon she won't be able to help herself and she'll POP!

I'm hoping it's with Andy Cohen, she'll have a cocktail in hand and an adoring host to help her through it.

Cancellation might suck for AMC and its fans, but it's getting SL the press and attention of her life. (Who's laughing now, Brian Frons?)

Meanwhile, what she has to about "reality shows" in general is correct, I think. "An American Family" was "reality;" the [!@#$%^&*] that's on today ain't nowhere realistic.

I think the closest you get to reality is Big Brother, because you have the option of watching a live feed and even if you don't watch, you can read transcripts, if you have the time or energy, that is.

I do think that a lot of viewers know, and don't especially care, that stuff like Real Housewives isn't real. It's a fun way to kill time, not a docudrama. The only reason they're called reality shows is because it was a term created years ago for the genre. I always kind of laugh when someone says, "Survivor isn't real!" Anyone who has watched for more than a few episodes know it's about as real as Jeff's hair color...

    • I think the arrival of the Spauldings (Alan/Elizabeth/Phillip) caused the erosion of Sara's character on the show since Elizabeth took over Sara's place in the whole Justin/Jackie story.  Sara's brief marriage to another deceptive man sounded like it paled in comparison to the previous deceptive man story that she had played the decade beforehand.. and it was probably done because of the whole Alan/Jackie/Mike/Elizabeth cluster that took off story wise.   I know the show had introduced Brandy, the woman Justin cheated on Jackie with... but I don't believe she lasted more than a year.. and didn't make much of an impression. While the Dobson's were good at writing/juggling multiple characters/stories.. they weren't perfect though they did manage to make use of characters not in the front burner like Sara, Ann, etc. I do know that Sara/Adam looked to be starting up at the end of the Dobson era with a jealous/regretful Barbara looking on.. which played out during the Roger/Holly rape story and Hollys prison story.   I don't know if Marland was as inspired by that story when he took over
    • If you ever make it to the Paley Center in NYC (fka Museum of TV and Radio), in their viewing room, you can watch Days 1/1/73 featuring Denise Alexander as Susan. It’s her last month on the show before switching to GH.
    • Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation.  I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week.  I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.  
    • I thought Adam and Sara got married? Although I do not remember any mention of her when Adam returned for Blake's weddings. But MA certainly got the short end of the stick storywise, as Marland's obsession with therapy reared it's head. 
    • Didn’t Meg Bennett return to SFT as a writer in the last few years. I always wondered if they tried to get her back as Liza.
    • Millette Alexander got the short end of the stick once they killed off Joe. The Justin thing was a non-starter. Then she was briefly married to Alan's corrupt lawyer and HE was killed off. She was paired briefly with Adam and that ended because she believed Holly over Roger about the rape. Definitely, Marland had zero interest in her except as the therapist for the many, many of his female characters who needed therapy. It's not odd she left the show. One of the rare 1978 episodes on YT shows Alan going to Cedars for a physical check-up. He ends up with Sarah as his doctor. In between making mysoginistic comments about women doctors, he also openly flirts with her. It's very obvious they were chem testing Sarah and Alan. It's a really good scene. Bernau is both obnoxious and charming and Millette is amazing, trying to be pleasant and profesional without rolling her eyes at him, but at the same time maybe a LITTLE bit attracted to him. An interesting what-might-have-been. So it appears the Dobsons were actively looking for someone to pair her with, they just never found the right one for a long-term story.
    • I'm happy to read whatever you provide, @Paul Raven.
