Mara, I read your brief blurb on yesterday's, 3/2/09, AMC. Yes, the performances by Alicia Minshew and Thorsten Kaye have been incredible, but they always are. However, I disagree with your statement that Zach and Kendall's marriage is self-destructing. It's not self-destructing, AMC is deliberately dismantling it with out-of-character actions, nonsensical decisions and they're doing this with such venom and hatred that it makes you think they have something against the actors and/or fans.

For YEARS AMC has done nothing to promote this couple. You see other couples praised to the heavens and relentless promotion given to them but that level of support has never been given to Zach and Kendall. The fans have demanded it and what scraps were handed out was mainly due to us.

I have no idea what AMC has against Zach and Kendall, their fans, and/or Alicia Minshew and Thorsten Kaye. Maybe it's because they're not the "pets" of certain executives, I don't know. But Zach and Kendall are the ONE good thing AMC has going for it no matter how hard they try to promote useless characters like Reese and Ryan. AMC needs to start treating Zach and Kendall, Alicia Minshew, Thorsten Kaye and their fans with some respect or this show will continue to sink.

Birdie, ITATK/AM sold Zendall, not AMC..It pisses me off that they are decimating Zach, Kendall, and Zendall and for what...Do they really think that anyone is going to tune in to watch Ryass abusing and using Kendall again..Zach with some sexually confused trash...Since the news came out that Pratt has decided to go beyond sickening in the next few weeks, with:::Kendall having a grief boink with her abuser and Aidan having sex with crazy Annie...How sick...Just cancel the damn show and allow the talented actors/actresses to show off their talents on a show were they might be appreciated...

AMC taking the show in this driection will be the one thing that finally makes me stop watching. Oh well. 39 years. It was fun while it lasted. I can't and won't support anything but Zach and Kendall together. If AMC wonders why fans are unhappy and viewership will go down, well this will do it. I feel bad for Alicia Minshew and Thorsten Kaye. All of their hard work at selling this couple gets no respect. I know it's a soap opera, but this isn't the All My Children I love.

Well, I have to agree that there has been a push to damage Zendall for some time now. AMC has tried to get Ryan and Kendall together by having (1) Kendall be pregnant with Spike, Ryan's child, (2) Zach show an abnormal amount of loyalty to Dixie during the Madden murder mystery, (3) Ryan try to play savior to Kendall during the Satin Slayer storyline, when it was Zach's father who was trying to teach Zach a lesson, and (4) Ryan develop selective amnesia and pursue Kendall, despite her protests and Zach's subtle and unsubtle threats. There's been a one night stand with Aidan that meant nothing, meddling to unite Ryan and Greenlee at the expense of Zach and the boys, a baby fathered for no good, in-character reason and kept secret from Kendall, a kiss with a lesbian in a church the night before her wedding, and now sex with Ryan. It's pretty twisted, that's for sure. But through it all, we've gotten Father Clarence and Myrtle, and Myrtle's last message to Zach, to tell us that Zen is the couple to root for. Just a little message to AMC: If you're trying to destroy Zendall, just do it. If you're not and you're just trying to push the envelope with them because there are no other couples on AMC worth writing for (Jesse and Angie are apparently untouchable after the Rebecca disaster--lucky them), and you're trying to hold off hiring an actress to play opposite Cameron Mathison for as long as possible, you may want to rethink that. There may be nothing left of this couple that once was a supercouple by the time you're done doing whatever it is you're doing.

Mara and anyone else at SOD that sees this: Please make sure TPTB know how repulsive this upcoming Rendall garbage is. Why are they bound and determined to destroy the one great thing that still works for AMC--Zendall. I am sick about this. I will not be watching until I hear Zendall are reunited--and I don't mean for one day of sex--I mean really reunited. I.am.out. And this is after I have watched nearly every day for 20 years. If TK leaves, I am also out. I will not watch Kendall with another partner and also I deeply resent the way TK has been treated by TPTB after he has given his all to this character so masterfully. AM is also being abused and disrespected. I and many other Zendall fans will not put up with this crap any longer. We will take our viewing habits elsewhere.

They continue to use and abuse TK/AM with this crap...I just read the interveiw with CM about this and I have to ask, WTH is he talking about..I think he knows that Ryass is going to take another beating over this garbage, so he's trying desperately to do damage control..and it isn't working..The more people read whats coming, the more people are tuning out..I want Sweeney to get off her butt and do her job...Frons/PRatt/Carruthers need to go..Sorry, but Kendall having sex with her abuser is sick..Ryass grieved for GL for what 3 seconds before sniffing around Kendall agian...Loser..Bye, Bye AMC...Hello Y&R....

ITA agree with your Birdie (and thanks for starting this thread)!I can't believe that Prattass is using the same type of grief sex story on Kendall that B&E did! He has no originality or talent as a writer. Did AMC learn nothing from that ONS grief sex scene. I'm tired of women being portrayed as weaklings that they have to take the comfort in grief sex. And grief sex with a known abuser (and one of the most hated chartacters on AMC as well -- I very seldom see good comments about this character on quite a few message boards). I definitely won't be watching this show any longer. After reading the spoiler today, it put the final nail in the coffin for me to watch AMC again. I'll support AM and TK in other ways, I just can't by watching this mess of a show.

You would think the way the economy is right now that AMC would be doing everything they could to be bring viewers back to AMC not keep them away and run away the viewers they have left. This is advertising money they are throwing away by viewers tuning out. I seriously cannot believed that they listend to CM and that he actually did not try to fight this because five minutes after Greenlee is dead he's boinking her best friend. This is the most disgusting crap that AMC writiers can come up than they deserve everyhing they are going to get during March Sweeps and that's low low ratings. The fans are tired of putting up with this type of nasty stunts. Kendall's 5 minute one night stand with Aiden got them low ratings, how in the world do they expect to raise ratings and get the show advertising money. I heard rumors that Pratt was brought on to AMC to destroy the show so that he could get cancelled and that's exactly where it's headed.

You know what ticks me off, they know that this is going to bomb big time, because it has each and everytime they've done it, but they continue to make the same disasterous mistakes over and over again.....Charles Pratt doesn't have an original idea in his head.... All these stories that are playing out have already played out with the previous writers and failed...Kendall had grief sex with Aidan when she thought Zach and GL were dead, so I guess Pratt figured....instead of coming up with something good, lets repeat that again, only with her abuser, and if it fails so what.... He still gets a paycheck..I just sent a ton of letters out to Sweeney & CO and also to the sponsers of AMC.... Campbells is getting bombarded started tomorrow...... AMC is not what they want to sponser...Not with the sick, twisted, disgusting garbage there trying to pawn off at ABC...A man has sex with a crazy woman and a abuse victim has sex with her abuser....This will and is going to come back to bite them....
