It's kinda amusing thinking about the huge hole Greenlee's digging herself, all unwittingly. That's right, Greenlee, just keep trying to wreck your estranged girlfriend's defense and steal her boyfriend, and you'll wind up with no Fusion, no Kendall, Four Minute Frankenbrow in your bed, and Kendall, Bianca, Erica and Reggie all glaring at you at family dinners. Karmic justice.
BWAHhahahahaha!Hmm. Think Greenlee telling Ryan that she wouldn't go LesKenlee even for Fusion was actually forshadowing and not comedy? Oh, if only!

Ah, the boring weekend. I love killing it by finding fun screencaps. Here's one of Kendall from the day Mauria changed her tire and
she broke a nail. Here's a good one of Kendall and Greenlee:
let the HoYay fly! And wow, some really old stuff:
Kendall and Del,
Kendall and Erica. Yes, I was concentrating on the Kendall stuff. Don't act surprised.
Boyd's last appearance was
last year (technically). December 26th, when Aidan dragged him over to Kendall's and they DIDN'T have a threesome in her bedroom. That was a disappointing day.

I don't suppose you could clarify that sentence?
I meant Jean Greying as keeping the men on the ever hopeful hook. Ya know, Jean's married to Scott but she makes sure to eyeshag Logan enough to keep him hanging.
and Kendall, Bianca, Erica and Reggie all glaring at you at family dinners.
Man, Jack's life is going to be
hell. Wonder how he'll handle that? You're right though, Greens is doing it to herself. The fact that she has no idea how deep she's digging herself only makes it sweeter. The only downside is we'll get more Poor!Pitiful!Me!Greenlee and that's already pretty damn old.
I really can't wait for Erica to find out just how much Kinks have been collaborating together, that Bianca helped Kendall fake the pregnancy test, and so on.
That may make Erica stroke out. Her sweet little baby being all deceitful and sneaky AND keeping Erica in the dark??? Kablooey! There went Erica's head. And you just know that Erica will blame Kendall for leading her little lamb Binky astray. She'll never believe that Bianca has been the driving force more than Kendall.
No phrase is safe with a couple that has "brainstorming" and "cleaning up" as euphemisms.
Can't wait to see what the next word to be Kinksed will be. Come on, Monday! 'Cept for work, no need to rush that.

Generous nothing, it was purely a question of alliteration,
kariyaki. I wanted a number that started with "f" to go along with Frankenbrow, and four's lower than five.
I notice none of the Kendall screencaps have her wearing something floral. Good god, Erica looks awful in that last one. WTF is up with the Jackie O suit and frumpy hair? And Del--that reminds me, I was meaning to bring him up the last time the discussion of who Kendall can be paired up with that's not Frankenbrow started up. I mean, yes, I love the chemistry of Kaidan, but AMC isn't writing her as crazy about him, and as
Mystic0 has pointed out, they might make a potentially placid couple in terms of storytelling (certainly not in terms of chemistry). I know AMC wanted to find a Del back when Alicia first joined the show, but couldn't lure Winsor Harmon away from B&B (bet he's regretting
that decision) and couldn't find anyone else that would be good in the role. (You know, I really wouldn't have considered Del that difficult a part to recast, especially after a seven-year absence, which means that he could have changed in any of a zillion ways...go figure.) Anyway, trying again to bring Del back might not be a bad idea. Kendall's seven years in Florida are basically a mystery--we know that she didn't finish her education and that Del dumped her for being a screwup (but no specifics), and that's about it.
ETA:
Man, Jack's life is going to be hell. Wonder how he'll handle that?
Probably much the same way he did at Thanksgiving dinner--snap and scream at everyone to pretend they're having a good time, and take much valium. Hee. Come on Erica, hurry up and marry Jack so that we can look forward to 20 years of dysfunctional Kane-Montgomery dinners.

Ah, okay.

I figured, it's just that I personally would have gone with Four
Second Frankenbrow.
That pic of Del got me to thinking as well. I'd like to have him back. I remember his take on Kendall being similar to Aidan's: flabbergasted by her but loves her anyway. But I don't think I'd want Winsor Harmon playing him because (to reference a Far Side cartoon), he's been hit by the Old Age Truck. Kendall's seven years away from PV were in a suspended-time animation as it is, they need somebody in their thirties to play Del.
Black Knight
Jan 10, 2004 @ 11:16 pm
Yeah, Aidan is like Del was back then--the sort of guy you write Kendall off into the sunset with. However, after nine years away, I think AMC could reasonably bring him back with a little harder edge, especially as we don't know what happened in Florida with them or what Del's been up to since they broke up.
And yes, I'd definitely recast, especially given that one of Winsor's B&B leading ladies was Bobbie Eakes. But he'd need to be late-thirties, because he came on as Maria's former lover when she was what, 18? A lot of men tend to look exactly the same in between 35-50, so late 30s would work.
kariyaki
Jan 10, 2004 @ 11:26 pm
He came on when Kendall was 18, do you mean? Or Mauria? Not that it matters since Kendall and Mauria are supposed to be about the same age. And they were both supposed to be in their twenties back then.
I've sure I've mentioned this before but Kendall and Mauria have quite the same taste in men. First Del, then Aidan. Makes me kind of nervous that Kendall might go for Edmund. *shudder*
Black Knight
Jan 10, 2004 @ 11:42 pm
Yeah, Kendall and Maria were the same age back then, but as you said before, Kendall's been basically suspended in time while Maria definitely hasn't.
Del didn't come on when Maria was 18--he came on as someone she'd had a relationship with when she was 18 or something like that. I think he was older than she was. And it was revealed that she'd gotten pregnant as a result and once rode around on a horse to try to get herself to miscarry or some shit, and then she did lose the baby and IIRC, her infertility problems resulted from that, and she figured it was God punishing her for having tried to miscarry. My watching was really sporadic during that time period, but I know that's the gist.
kariyaki
Jan 10, 2004 @ 11:59 pm
Yup, those are the highlights. Okay, I've got what you're saying now. I just wasn't sure whether you meant Del met Mauria back when she was 18 or he met Kendall and she was 18 (which she wasn't).

Del didn't come on when Maria was 18--he came on as someone she'd had a relationship with when she was 18 or something like that. I think he was older than she was.
Del at that time didn't seem older than Maria to me, that part never made sense. Kendall was 23 when she came on, was she on 2 years?
Maria was already a neurosurgeon when she came on. She's the one who told Trevor about Natalie's living will. They hooked her up with Edmund after that, so she was on for at least a year or two before Kendall showed up. She has to be at least 5 or so years older than Kendall.
kariyaki
Jan 11, 2004 @ 12:38 am
I said Kendall and Maria were about the same age, not exactly the same. I meant within a difference of two or three years. Might as well just narrow this down to exact age then (got nothing better to do).
Maria's tombstone in the Wildwind mausoleum had a birth year of 1967, making her currently 36 if her birthday has not occurred this month. Kendall had to have been born by 1969 at the latest (since AMC's first year was in 1970 and Erica would have already had her), making her 34.
Mauria looks 36. Kendall does not look 34, nor does she act like it, hence the suspended animation discussion earlier. As a matter of fact, even back then, Kendall didn't look her age. They keep casting young actresses in the part.
Black Knight
Jan 11, 2004 @ 12:58 am
Yeah, and Kendall originally came on as being the age as the actress playing her--she was acting like a teenager. But then of course the fans did the math and realized they were being asked to believe that Erica was what, 33? at the time and Kendall was suddenly unofficially SORAS'd to a more appropriate age. Then she went off to Florida and suspended animation, because among other things I'm sure Susan/AMC doesn't want Erica to have a 34-year-old daughter.
Nowadays, I think we're to believe that Kendall is the same age as Greenlee--late twenties--though AMC will of course never say it outright because of the implications for Erica's age. (Yes, I know Rebecca Budig looks older, but she's playing a character younger than she is.)

Well, Jean's dead again right now (in the comics), so I'm not sure that that term means quite what you meant it to mean. :) But hey, I'm sure she'll rise from the dead again soon, and we can resurrect the use of her name as a verb in reference to complicated love situations. I like it. (Don't forget that Warren "Angel" Worthington was also in lurve with Jean once upon a time and Forge was attracted to her too. She's cut quite the swath. Kendall should take notes. Just as long as Kendall doesn't marry a guy who refuses to sleep with her because of his Issues with a capital I.)

Yeah, SMG got cast as a twenty-something Kendall while she was a teenager, and then turned around and played a teenage Buffy while she was a twenty-something. Funny stuff. Kendall is much, much younger than she should be, but as long as she's being played by kick-ass actresses (and SMG, whatever her other faults, was a kick-ass Kendall), I think we can all suspend our disbelief.
kariyaki
Jan 11, 2004 @ 1:10 am
I've always been able to suspend my disbelief for SMG (who was indeed a fabulous Kendall) and Alicia. They're very competent in the part and make one forget mundane little details like age. Any less of an actor in that part and we probably all would be picking at those nits with a great amount of gusto.
Black Knight
Jan 11, 2004 @ 1:54 am
I have a lot of tolerance for actors playing characters not their age. The SMG hysteria kinda amused me actually--it's standard procedure for actors to play younger characters, but people were complaining because SMG was playing a character older than she was IRL, even though it's easier to look older than younger. So I've never understood, first, why there's a double standard, and second, why the double standard goes that way.
As far as people being willing to accept a deSORAS'd Kendall (despite the implications for Erica's age), I think that in addition to Alicia being so fabulous, it helps that her onscreen sister is supposed to be 19 and is being played by an actress several years older. So we can see an age difference and that Kendall is definitely the older sister, but it's not such an extreme difference that they don't look right onscreen together.

Oh hell no, you're not alone. Usually, people hooking up with their past spouse's relatives squick me out but I'm willing to overlook it because Rebecca hasn't got chemistry with a single man on that show except for Vincent.

Well, that and the fact that they seem more in the normal age range for sisters than they would if they were their "proper" ages. When we see a scene with Erica, Kendall and Bianca, it's obvious who the mom is and who the sisters are, even to someone who hasn't seen the show in 20 years (or ever before). Soaps are a visual medium, after all. SORASing and deSORASing, IMHO, work best when the ages of parents and siblings are taken into proper account. I love sneaky Petey, but if any kid on this show were going to be SORASed, it probably should have been him; the idea that he and Tad share the same mother is too much. Whereas the idea that Dixie has a grown son really stretches disbelief. (Brooke I can believe.) Yes, if JR were being played by a kick-ass actor, I'd feel somewhat different, but I'd still have trouble buying his age.
kariyaki
Jan 11, 2004 @ 2:21 am
Good points, yes. Petey should also have been SORASed at the same time they did Jamie since they are very close in age. Eleven months age difference between the two, yet James is embroiled in a "who's the daddy" while Petey spent Thanksgiving playing puppet shows with Stuart and Colby.
Black Knight
Jan 11, 2004 @ 2:29 am
What I meant is that even though the audience intellectually knows Bianca and Kendall are supposed to be very far apart in age, it's easier to accept a younger Kendall because it sort of feels right to have the two sisters within an age range where we can reasonably believe that they can converse on the same level and aren't in totally different places in their lives. That is, I think with Eden as Bianca, it might actually be harder to accept a 34-year-old Kendall in the role than it would be to accept a 28-year-old Kendall, even though intellectually we know that it's supposed to be the opposite. At the very least, it's certainly easier to accept a 28-year-old Kendall because of Eden's Bianca, period. (And I see
Marabet explained it quite well in her post while I was typing mine.)
I'm all for Greenlee/David too. The fact David and Leo were so completely different in looks, and in personality, helps quite a bit. It doesn't have the replacement vibe to it that hooking up with a twin does.
For the record: I love bitch Greenlee. Since Kendall's going soft, bring it on.
I wouldn't say Kendall's gone soft in general, just with Bianca, but still, I agree. Mostly because I'm looking at the Kane-Montgomery family dynamics, especially once Erica does marry Jack, and there needs to be more tension than just Greenlee/Erica to really make the family dysfunctionally fun. It's a little unfortunate in terms of Kenlee and Bianca/Greenlee, but Greenlee being on poor terms with just about everyone does make for more entertaining drama overall, and that's kind of needed with Kendall's black sheep status changing. She's on good terms with Bianca, Jack and Reggie, and while she and Erica may never form the kind of relationship Kendall wants, I think Kendall's moved past scheming to ruin Erica's life. And while Erica may be furious over the baby, she also will eventually learn that Kendall lied about marrying Michael and went through this trial in order to protect her and Bianca. In short, I don't think Erica's going to spend time trying to ruin Kendall's life either, especially with Jack and Bianca around to ride herd on her.

If the producers aren't gonna give any air time to Mitchell Federan, they might as well SORAS Petey. In terms of family connections in PV, he could become a fairly significant character at some point in the future.

I'm not. You can keep trying to cast new guys for Greenlee, but David will ALWAYS be her (currently) dead husband's half-brother. Sorta like how I will never support BAM. You could recast Maggie with someone who has SisYay! kind of chemistry with Bianca, but she will always be her twin sister's ex-girlfriend. No thanks.
You know who really would've made one SMOKING couple? Kendall and Leo. Put Alicia on the screen with Josh -- instant fireworks.

Word to the retcon being ridiculous. At least Maria didn't bring it up when she was talking to Bianca about the pregnancy. Imagine how that would've screwed with poor Binky's head.
Alicia being Alicia and Josh being Josh, the chemistry's guaranteed. But I'm not sure how well their characters would've fit together. I'm just having trouble imagining Kendall/Leo, for some reason, and I can usually throw any two characters together in my head and get an idea of how they'd bounce off each other. I don't know why that is, considering Kendall and Greenlee are similar in many ways.

I don't support BAM because Maggie's not gay. We went through this "I like you because you look like my dead girlfriend" thing with Binks for eons and Maggie plainly told her, over and over again, that she wasn't gay. So to make Maggie bi or gay now, just because AMC's afraid of little lesbian action between Lena/Binks, just looks stupid.
As for Greens and David, it's not just the chemistry between RB and VI for me. While I loved her with Leo, I think David is truly the only person who will ever really understand her. They think alike. They're ambitious. They take no prisoners. And they're essentially loners who dislike traditional attachments and relationships. Which is why I never really bought the Fusion "Sex and the City" concept or Greenlee as being capable of having real friendships with women. I thought it totally went against character. Greenlee is the girlfriend from hell. Remember her and Simone when she was Bridezilla? God. I was wondering why Simone didn't choke her in her sleep, or at least drop a few Valiums in her morning coffee.
I say get Greenlee out of this contrived Fusion hell and into a real battle with Erica and a romance with David. He's the only one who can see through her crap.

I've often thought that. Too bad timing was against us. Josh was on his way out. Otherwise, we coulda had something like a Leo/Greenlee/Kendall/Aidan quadrangle. Now THAT would have been compelling.
That Mauria miscarriage on a horse wasn't a ridiculous retcon at the time. It was the reason she couldn't have children. Of course, NOW it's ridiculous since the infertility miraculously reversed itself to give us the most irritating, spoiled, obnoxious child EVER.
I think now that Mauria's back in full memory and all, it would be a good moment to bring Del back. He's got pasts with both her and Kendall. Even better would be if they ever decide to have Dixie rise from the dead. He'd be around for it.
Black Knight

I don't know, I think Bianca might hold the title for most irritating, spoiled, obnoxious child on AMC ever. I loved the convo a couple of years ago when Kendall and Bianca rehashed all that. Kendall was just piling it on and Bianca was all adorably embarrassed.
My guess is that Dixie will rise from the dead the second that Tad decides between Krystal, Liza, and Simone, which given McTrash's inability to commit should be at least a year from now. It'd be interesting to see, especially given our discussion last night, whether AMC would recast with an actress who looks a good bit older than Cady McClain so that we can buy her as JY's mother. Of course, this is assuming that JY will still be around. If he doesn't renew at the end of his six-month contract, I suspect AMC won't recast JR anytime soon.

Hee, I loved that scene. Coupled with Kendall's own embarrassment about what a bitch she was.
But I stand by my assessment of Maddie as Most Obnoxious. Sure, Bianca was Erica's mini-me as a child, wearing little mink coats and taking limos out on her own but it was almost endearing to see. All Maddie does is whine when her parents don't immediately arrive to her beck and call. I swear if I hear her shrill out, "Where's Daddy?" or "Where's Mommy?" ONE MORE TIME...
Black Knight
Jan 11, 2004 @ 2:13 pm
True, Bianca's brattiness was more palatable in a way, because much was over-the-top and didn't bear any resemblance to real life (this was before the Hilton twins, of course) and we all just looked at it as, "Well, she's Erica's daughter, whaddya expect?" Erica's been entertaining by being Erica for decades, after all.
Hee, I loved that scene. Coupled with Kendall's own embarrassment about what a bitch she was.
I actually ended up wrecking the videotape of that ep. Sigh. The other scene from the bonding back then that I'm really fond of--and I accidentally taped over that, double sigh--is when Kendall first went to work at Enchantment and she was in over her head, and Bianca helped her out. They were just adorable then too. I remember Kendall winking at Bianca at one point and getting a beautiful smile back in return, and it was just so, so cute. (Plus, in hindsight, I see it also hinted at how well they work together as partners--no, I don't mean in
that way!--as well as Bianca going to work for Enchantment herself later. She knew so much about the company already.)
Ah, Kinks. It really is almost impossible to write a sentence now that talks about their relationship at all that doesn't sound suggestive. Hee.

There's also one about the Kryan/Kaidan triangle with Alicia, Cameron and Aiden in it. I like that one too because Aiden is unwaxed in it and Alicia looks like she's having a ball.
I was going to post a side-by-side of the Kinks ads but it turns out that one on Alicia's site is huuuuuuge in actuality.

I certainly didn't have thoughts of SisYay when I was enjoying Bianca and Kendall's original bonding two years ago. It's not our fault our minds go there now! Heh. Oh sure, the promo people claim innocence, no doubt, and point to the ad mentioning the fact that they're sisters, but that's in tiny tiny letters. Look how huge the "Kendall and Bianca" is. It's like the fact they're sisters is the subtext and the SisYay the actual text. Snerk.

but at least that was an actual pinup poster of an actual couple.
Wait a damn minute, Kinks
isn't an actual couple??? Huzzah?
You guys rock. Not only did you keep us off the Page Two of Shame but you celebrated Pervy Writer's hard work. Kudos, man. Thanks for the link to the second Kinks promo,
kariyaki, and for confirming Rebecca's long pause before revealing Eden's nickname. Any proof that I'm not insane it a plus. ;) I'm on board with the speculation that Rebecca didn't say the *real* nickname. That pause suggested something way juicier than friggin' Harvard.
Hee! We're so Kinks warped. (Not that I feel even the slightest twinge of remorse. Not our fault for recognizing the obvious, I say.) I wish we still had banner ads here. I wonder what ours would be like now? Maybe something like this:
The TWoP AMC Forum, sponsored by Satan and recruiting daily. (All sled rides are comped.) Come for the snark, stay for the SisYay.

Black Knight, it looks like that Kinks ad was run sometime in early December/late November. I'm not 100% sure, as the only way I'm discerning this is by noticing how the content on Alicia's site is organized. Newer stuff is added to the top of the page and the older stuff is pushed down the page. Pics dated December 23 were above it while ones from early November were on page 2. So there you are, scientific analysis at its best.

I wish beyond wishing that the banner ads were still around. I fucking love that.

Well, I was trying not to sound completely pervy and insane, though I realize between my shameless Kinks love and Eden-oinking, it's no doubt far too late. (BTW, one of the pics
I downloaded this weekend was the pic Eden had taken of herself in her white tanktop at SSW, and I installed it as my new home computer desktop picture--displacing the Lianca pic that's been the desktop pic for a while. I blame you,
Mystic0, for reminding me that it'll be a little while yet before Bianca can get back to her normal wardrobe. I also wasted far too much time trying to find a screencap of shaggably-delicious Bianca with Kendall just before they got blown up--I would've been happy with either the shot of her tilting her head flirtatiously, or the EEEEEE! hug--but no luck.)
You aren't the only one who's thought wistfully of the now-gone TWoP banner ads...I love yours and I'd also pay up for a Kinks one in a second.
kariyaki--damn. That's what I figured, too.

Aww, Bianca's gotta pop soon, I'm sure. Just be strong, now that TPTB have discovered Eden's cleavage, I doubt they'll ever ignore it again.
I wish beyond wishing that the banner ads were still around.
Dude, me too. I loved all of ours in the past and I'm sure whatever sick one we came up with would be hilarious. I remember how many people stopped by here after our Voldemort one, imagine how many peeps an incestuous one would bring in.

Pfft, never feel weird about it. Your oinking and
kariyaki's Kendall love are two very reassuring things in a topsy turvy world. Besides, Kinks is great fun. If we didn't have Kinks, we'd just be sitting around sulking about Kaidan, Lianca, or the Mikey Murder Mystery. HoYay (and now SisYay apparently) has gotten me through many shows that I might have lost interest in. Not that I was in any danger of tuning out of AMC, but the Kinks thing has become a very surprising bonus that I'm greatly enjoying. Two of my favorite actors (and characters) are working together, what's not to love?

I can't believe I'm saying this because I really do feel you all need some sort of Kinks intervention, but you can sometimes find soap magazines, cast photos, etc., on
ebay. So you may be able to find the mag you're looking for there
Black Knight.
Now I think I'll go slink off into a corner with the other enablers. But before I go - they are sisters, people, SISTERS! Oh sure, you think it's all fun and games, but it's a slippery slope leading straight to a very bad place (and I don't mean hell). Because it all starts innocently enough with Kinks, but before you know it you're shipping Ridget on B&B and think GH's Cousin Lovin' was a great idea. Kinks, the gateway drug.

(Snicker) bluedevilblue rocks. I'd feel chastised if I weren't laughing so hard. "Gateway drug"... (snicker)

I'd be tempted to do this myself, except my printer is kinda sucky, but it might be fun to take that giant-ass sized Kinks ad and print it on photo paper.
Black Knight, the best I could do on your quest was
this site The scenes there are from the day Bianca came into the police station in a full-on Kane snit about Kendall. The third pic is a great one of the two of them. Bianca has the greatest expression. As for gas explosion day, that's
this page. The pickings are slim but Sooty Kendall looks smoking hot (if you'll pardon the pun).
Ah, fond memories of that Voldemort banner ad. We almost needed an FAQ about it, there were so many questions.
before you know it you're shipping Ridget on B&B and think GH's Cousin Lovin' was a great idea. Kinks, the gateway drug.
Hey, if Ridget and Cousin Lovin' had been played out with charismatic actors that have chemistry with pocket lint, you never know...

Mystic0, if I can help even one person . . .
And because I love you guys, pervy thoughts and all, I did the ebay search and came across lots of AMC things, including
Eden. And while I couldn't find Kendall/Bianca, if you're into SisYay, perhaps you'd like
Cousin Lovin'.
But I know how to tempt you away from the SisYay -
Grendall or
Kenlee?

Now, see, this took my mind to a rather
naughty place. And yes, Kinks was there too. I'm beyond help. I need my Kinks, man! And I'm not even sorry. *eviiil cackle* *cough, cough* *hee* *cough* *hee* *wheeze*
Kinks forever! But I know how to tempt you away from the SisYay - Grendall or Kenlee?
That second pic? Yowsa! However, I'm so strung out, the only true satisfaction for me would be Kinks with a Kenlee chaser.

You know, I once said that if I have to go to hell, I just hope Rebecca Budig's a bad, bad girl so that we can hook up while we're burning in everlasting damnation, but, with that visual, I mean, now that I good idea of what I'd have--oh, I hope Alicia's a bad, bad, bad, bad girl. If there's no room on the sled, Alicia, I've got a lap I'm not using. *whistling*
