Read more about Kendall Hart Slater at: Wikipedia Official Site: ABC Kendall Hart Slater (formerly Lang) is a fictional character from the American daytime drama All My Children. The character was portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar from 1993 to 1995, and by Alicia Minshew from 2002 until the show's series finale on September 23, 2011. On March 7, 2013 it was announced that Minshew will guest-star on the Prospect Park's continuation of All My Children. The character is the biological daughter of Erica Kane, a product of a rape by Richard Fields on the night of Erica's 14th birthday. She was originally written as a complex villain, described as "the most terrible daughter on daytime", but was later reformed by the series. The writers scripted her as a heroine, though keeping devious aspects of the character intact. She is a passionate wife and mother, and is married to Zachary "Zach" Slater. She has a love-hate relationship with Greenlee Smythe, and has emerged as one of soap opera's most layered and popular characters. Kendall has been the subject of Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome (SORAS), which caused the show's producers to "de-SORAS" her biological mother Erica Kane, portrayed by Susan Lucci. Lucci says that Erica was 15 when the show began in 1970. "I love playing her. I enjoyed playing her when she was a 15-year-old high school girl, the naughty girl in town, and I enjoy playing her now, when she's still the naughty girl, but she's broadened her area of operation to include the entire world," said Lucci. Erica being 15 in 1970 placed her birth year at 1955. When Kendall first appears on the show in 1993, she is sixteen years old, portrayed by a then 15-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar. This was despite the fact that Kendall was the result of Erica's rape at the age of 14 before the show began in 1970 (23 years earlier). Fans protested the age differences due to the changes making Erica and Kendall too young compared to Erica's original 1955 birth year. In response to this, the show's producers rapidly aged Kendall to 23, which moved Erica's birth year one year forward to 1956.
