@Skin. Accurate. I always felt that was a major mistake. Whether or not  they were the right characters chosen, it’s never good to shove them down our throats. Every character and/or storyline should always be on rotation. They never gotten major attraction storylines to me. C at best.

I think Viki & Dorian own this title, but I'm only really familiar with "Days" and the '00ish-onward ABC Daytime lineup.

 

As for Kenlee . . . I LOVED them, but esp. during my early 20's during the last few years of AMC, I was really into best friends/frenemies stories.  I was honestly really surprised they didn't get a big scene during the finale at Fusion with just the two of them.  Broderick's final weeks, and esp. days, really displayed her commitment to closing the show in a way that honored its legacy and kinda rejected the whole Frons era.  Which was for the best, but it was a stark contrast the "Sex and the City" AMC we got for most of the aughts.  Re. whether the show favored Greenlee or Kendall and who suffered character/story-wise because of the relationship . . . um, it's clear to me that the network was VERY committed to Rebecca Budig, but not necessarily Greenlee.  And if it's a competition between Greenlee and Kendall over prominence, etc., Kendall always, always, always got way more POV and consistent vision--whether people agreed with it or not, she was the long-suffering heroine martyr who was always devoted to Zach, Greenlee, and Ryan (and Erica and Bianca) despite whether it was in her best interest or not.  Greenlee, on the other hand, was always changing motivations, got run over and then backed up by the bus multiple times, and sorta had to eventually always end up with Ryan because of ABC Daytime's obsession with Cameron Mathison.  Maybe I'm biased, I prefered lee to Ken lol.

Another iconic frenemy relationship in daytime - Tina and Gabrielle on OLTL...
