Why don't they make soaps like this anymore? The times when you would watch the clock to see if there will be a few more minutes of suspense. You would also look forward to watching your soap.
TV programming has changed so much. Now it's reality TV, talk shows that have taken over. In the Uk they are still going strong and each one is owned independently but a show called Doctors is going off the air. In it's own way Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Eastenders are like all My Children and Guiding Light in which actors play small parts on one show but become more successful on another.
Every since I inquired about a certain episode of AMC,I keep getting a lot of the episodes popping up on my phone!😊But it's I'm enjoying them, Thankyou 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️😀
It was certainly good casting. This role must have been unbelievably easy for SMG to land. ONE LOOK at her Swan's Crossing reel, and you just have to throw all the other audition tapes away. She was born to play a diva. And her character on Swan's Crossing, Sidney Rutledge, was like Erica Kane or Alexis Carrington-Colby's long lost daughter. lol She was really a dynamo on that show.
It's funny they had such a nice goodbye considering all the hell Kendall put Erica though. Then when they brought Kendall back in 02' they acted like this never happened lol. Erica slapped the sh*t out of her as soon as she saw her but the most painful slap was when Erica figured out that Kendall searched for her father in LA. She went to her room and slapped her so hard even my face hurt after that.
People say that Susan Lucci hated SMG, but watching these scenes you wouldn't know it. Maybe Lucci was happy to finally be rid of her? Or maybe she didn't dislike SMG as much as people let on?
Charlie It wasn’t that she hated SMG! It was that she wasn’t happy about the storyline and that Erica had a grown up daughter. It made her character look older because of that.
SMG's mother made up this stuff and fed it to the press to build up SMG career. Susan it appears never really fought with anyone on AMC and has been very humble even when she was the start of the various movies she did she always was kind and well liked by the actors and crew. A lot of daytime stars envied or were jealous of her. She seemed to focus on her family and husband but still had a decent career and certainly made more money than most in daytime - well all the actors including egomaniacs like Deidre Hall and Eric Braeden.
Yes! But they kind of explain it away by Kendall saying she was mad/sad all over again from their lacking contact - even after a sentimental parting. She was still sometimes referred to on the show by Erica/others from 95-02, and not negatively, but her hurt was renewed. Erica calls Kendall, half hoping she'll implicate her in court/half hoping she won't, Kendall shows up to implicate her, Erica is disappointed/grateful/etc & the writers wanted to get things tense again for a while, I guess.
I don't suppose you could pin point or think off the top of your head what times they mentioned Kendall after she left/before Alicia came on and took over the role and who was it that mentioned her, do you? I know Bianca mentioned Kendall to Leo when she first came out to him in the boathouse but that's about it. :/
When Erica ran into Adam and Arlene in NYC when he was on the rebound from Liza in 2000, Erica made a comment about Arlene being a bad parent to Hayley and Arlene said and I quote, “At least I’m not pretending my kid doesn’t exist. Does the name Kendall ring a bell?” I remember reading this in Soap Opera Digest.
@@phillipgregoryburkeactor1 The thing that gets me is that between Arlene's drunken stupors, and just generally causing trouble for Hayley, how would Arlene find the time to concern herself about Erica and Kendall's relationship? The only time Arlene and Kendall were in Pine Valley at the same time was right before Hayley and Mateo left to California.
I heard that Susan was jealous of Sarah winning the emmy (or something like that) all the drama had Gellar leave the show, but then of course came Buffy so I don't think she really cared.
@@Wareaglegirl9960 I agree with you. I read it was a rumor started by SMG’s mother to further her career. If it had been true, then Susan wouldn’t have liked David Canary, Julia Barr, or anyone else on the show who won an Emmy. Every always talks about how amazing she was to work with, and how nice she is. I also heard from someone who had a family member that worked at ABC that SMG was a diva and was let go for her behavior.
Then you heard wrong. What was to be jealous of when it came to a bitchy diva like SMG? Sarah was not a household name while on AMC whereas Susan was and she had legions of fans, plus LOTS of respect. She never has been jealous of SMG. Plus, the whole Emmy thing was a gold mine for Lucci so there would be no reason for her to be jealous. Furthermore, Gellar was on her way out before she won the Emmy. Her Emmy win had nothing to do with her leaving the show. SMG made it clear months prior that she was interested in pursing opportunities elsewhere.
@@cajayson8301 I think the shows were taped between 3-6 weeks before the air date, so it's possible that SMG taped her final scenes before the Emmy win.
@@whitneydavis7443girl shut up and stop spreading rumors and misinformation. Sarah Michelle Gellar is a consummate professional. Eva LaRue, Kelly Ripa, and Walt Willey have all vouched for Sarah and stated there was some truth to Susan’s jealously.
Kendall could very well have had children at 23, Erica could have been a grandmother and a mother to an adult child in one fell swoop, and you don't think that would have aged her moreso than having Kendall arrive at 17 or 18 instead of 23? The math is easy to do... lol The idea of Sarah Michelle being too young to play her daughter is ludicrous when she already had a MUCH younger daughter on the show.
I'm not so sure about all that, but just look at Sarah Michelle Gellar and Susan Lucci. If Susan was just thirty years younger, the two of them could almost be identical twins.
Also the man who played The Librarian Anthony Head, would do the Taster's Choice/Nescafe Commercials and would do the UK Comedy Series Little Britian as the Prime Minister of England, he now narrarates the Show How To Get A Council House where folks from low income backgrounds, try to get houses.
Oh yeah, especially from 2004-onward, (AM's) Kendall calls Erica 'Mom' or 'Mother' and called her this a few times before they became close. In the 90s, SMG's Kendall has called Erica 'Mom' several times but she usually didn't mean it so nicely ;)
If I were erica I'd say to her "You represent a part of my past that was very traumatizing and hurtful to me, when you came back it bought back alot of horrific feelings for me. Also at that time, Kendall couldn't live in Pine Valley after what she did.
I don't know that Kendall couldn't stay in Pine Valley (especially as there are other characters who have done worse and managed to stay in Pine Valley). The AMC writers intended for SMG's Kendall to stay on the show (in Pine Valley) but SMG wanted to end her contract early since AMC disallowed her from being projects SMG wanted to do (Clueless). Additionally, Erica has said some similar things to Kendall -- that Kendall is representative of a painful part of Erica's past (so Kendall already knows this) -- but I think the point of this scene is so that the charactrers could manage to make peace before Kendall leaves. Kendall's departure is somethinge Erica does express to Dimitri that she has sadness about ("I feel relieved but I also feel very sad").
Erica Kendal real Mother gives her mother pearl golden band ring symbol of her love before Kendal leaves Pine Valley as Michelle goes on to Series Buffy Vapaire Slayer but Alilee will come back soon as new Kendal great actress😅😬😀😂😄😘😍😻😟
Regrdless of how old the charcter Erica Kane is suppose to be Susan somehow looks younger than peoples she used to be older ie Michael E Knight in the end looked older than Erica/Susan. And I believe John James and others were in real life younger and by the end Erica looked younger than them lol.
Totally agree. In this vid, Lucci made the lovely Buffy look practically dumpy. Lucci has the perfect weapons -- gorgeous genes and genius docs. And great lighting.
LOL. It's OK. LOL @ Erika getting YOUNGER AND YOUNGER as years go by. Hilarious! Yeah, I think Susan just got tired of sharing the spotlight with her fabulous mini-me who won the Emmy her first year. I always that that "too young" to play my daughter crap was fluff and it has proven to be.
Actors do not want an actor who looks closer in age to them playing their child. It ages the character of Erica more to have a 23 year old daughter than a younger one. If Kendall had been 30 as opposed to 23, it would have aged Erika/Susan even more. The older u make that character, the worse it is for Susan... which is why the "too young" stuff really makes zero sense, and it sounds like complete fluff.
@AdArmand I thought that she got plastic surgery. At least I am not the only one who sees it. Lucci claims she hasnt had any. But her eyes are Asian looking now. She should let herself grow old. She will still be beautiful. I am a guy saying this. Not a woman who who is saying that to say women are beautiful at any age. I believe age is only a number.
It's none of your fucking business if she had any surgery. Who are you to think she somehow owes you an explanation? She looks GORGEOUS and, if she wants to get work done, so be it. At least she has a great surgeon, unlike many Hollywood celebrities. Why on Earth do you give a shit?
cajayson8301 I read in her memoir that she had work done on her nose in the early-mid 90s. When she was 19, she was involved in a car accident, and went through the windshield of the car. It broke her nose, and cut her face pretty severely. She actually almost lost her right eye because there were shards of glass all around it. Thankful, she had an amazing surgeon, and the only scar she has from it is a tiny one just above her right eye. But, because of her nose being broken, scar tissue began to form on the inside of her nose as well as the outside, and it made it difficult for her to breathe through her nose. So she had that corrected. I’ve read in articles that she gets Botox injections. Regardless of how she does it, she’s freaking GORGEOUS. I agree wholeheartedly with you: it’s her own personal business.
@@whitneydavis7443 Well whatever she does it is she looks great Has anyone see the bathing suit photos over the last couple of years. When you are over 70 that is generally not a good look.
That's a lil ridiculous... Did Susan Lucci, herself, say that? LOL. When has an actress ever wanted someone OLDER to play her child in a production? LOL "too young"? "She's "too young" to play my daughter". Somehow I don't think Susan is THAT selfless... The more you age Kendall, the more you age Erica. Actresses don't like it when you cast someone "too old" to play their adult child.
This was a nice exit for younger Kendall. It was good that Erica showed her kindness and warmth.
Leaves Pine Valley and heads for Sunnydale! Buffy the Vampire Slayer was and still is the greatest cult TV show ever.
RutnRampage yes that is a real movie and seriestar of all time
Such sad 😞 scenes
Sarah will always be buffy
Never seen the show before in my life but SMG's "goodbye pine Valley" at the end is really touching. She's an amazing actress
i was so sad when Kendall left.... when SMG played her she was my favorite character.
Sarah, is the best Kendall, her character was the only character to get to Erika Kane
sarah deserved her emmy for this role!
She does have one for it.
These scenes bring me to tears
She got an Emmy for this role.
It only took till 2004 for Erica to truly love Kendall
Why don't they make soaps like this anymore? The times when you would watch the clock to see if there will be a few more minutes of suspense. You would also look forward to watching your soap.
Agreed, I miss those days only thing is I'd hate to think what they would be doing with "new soaps"

GREAT job posting these!!! After Sarah left, I quit watching AMC.
Very heart warming between Erica and Kendall.

Kendall to Buffy #Buffyrules

Sarah, Michelle Gellar is an awesome and very underrated actress.
Thanks for putting up these clips! I've always wanted to see this.
Very emotional scene Sarah Michelle gellar was good on all my children 👶
It's funny they had such a nice goodbye considering all the hell Kendall put Erica though. Then when they brought Kendall back in 02' they acted like this never happened lol. Erica slapped the sh*t out of her as soon as she saw her but the most painful slap was when Erica figured out that Kendall searched for her father in LA. She went to her room and slapped her so hard even my face hurt after that.
I do not recall but was there ever a mention of the ring that Erica gave to Kendall when Kendall was portrayed by Alicia M?
Not to my recollection.
Maybe she lost or pawned it.
@@triciajohansen9295 I doubt it because it belonged to Mona
Over 20 years later and Erica still looks the same!
so does SMG! ;)

I guess Susan is a better actress than we give credit.
@@ninaadderly2605 no it was really the fault of SMG's mother. She stirred up trouble like a resident soap opera matriarch.
She probably disliked her mother wouldn't be the first time we're an actor or actress hate thier Co stars parents
Much thankies :)

How long after this did Sarah take on the role of Buffy?
This was in 1995 and Buffy's pilot, "welcome to the Hellmouth" aired on the WB on 3/10/97 , so about 2 and a half after years or so later.
