Kendall was born on September 25, but the year keeps changing. Originally it was 1968, then it was moved to 1970 (when Gellar took the role), and now it is 1976.

She came to Pine Valley and got a job as her assistant, but when grandmother Mona noticed a birthmark on Kendall, it was revealed that Kendall was the result of Erica's rape at the age of fourteen by Richard Fields (James A. Stephens) and had been given up for adoption. Kendall's drive to find her biological mother led her to Pine Valley.

Despite Erica's best efforts, Kendall tried to enlist the help of Erica's husband, Dimitri, to find her father. When Erica found out, she kicked Kendall out of the house and divorced Dimitri. Later she stabbed Dimitri with a letter opener, having accepted as truth Kendall's lie that he had raped her. Kendall perjured herself during Erica's trial, saying that Erica stabbed Dimitri in a jealous rage over his relationship with Kendall. She finally told the truth and went to jail.

In prison, Anton, Dimitri's ward, asked Kendall to marry him and she accepted, but when he discovered she was working with Del Henry to write a book about Erica's life, he broke it off. Later, when he discovered that Dimitri was his real father and had hidden the fact, Anton and Kendall got married just to make their respective parents miserable. But the marriage soon fell apart.

They never published the book about Erica, but Del and Kendall fell in love and went to Florida to live with her adoptive mother, Alice Hart, after learning that Kendall's adoptive father had died.

Thus ended Gellar's portrayal of the character.

When Alicia Minshew got the part, Gellar sent her a basket of cookies and cakes with a note that read "Congratulations, you're doing a great job.".

ABC made a video called ALL MY CHILDREN: BEHIND THE SCENES, which, while Gellar's appearance in it was brief, gives one a good idea of the people who worked on the show at the time and the process by which the show was made.

Julie Benz also auditioned for this part in 1993, but Gellar was chosen instead. A few years later, Benz also auditioned for the role of Buffy Summers and again Gellar was chosen.
