Before Sarah Michelle Gellar rose to fame as Buffy (remember the teen soap Swan's Crossing which came before her AMC role?) she won an Emmy for playing Erica Kane's daughter Kendall Hart on All My Children. With so many former actors such as Josh Duhamel, Kelly Ripa and Eva LaRue all making cameos on the now-cancelled long running soap, SMG revealed that she will make a cameo on the soap but not as Kendall.
You see, Kendall has been played by Alicia Minshew for the past few years, and AMC is not doing a body switcheroo like on One Life To Live where they're doing a two-Todd story line (original Todd Roger Howarth has returned to Llanview and is trying to take his life back, which has been played quite effortlessly by Trevor St. John for the past eight years). besides, AMC is already doing a story line involving identity theft with it's heroine Erica Kane.
"I can today officially confirm that I will be doing a guest-spot," Gellar said Thursday during the fall TV preview session for her new CW series Ringer. "When I heard the show was canceled, I didn't understand. It just doesn't make sense to me. I called [the casting director] and said, 'I want to do something.' But I was very specific: I don't want to be Kendall. That's Alicia's role, but I wanted to be a part of it. I have no idea what I'm going to be doing... I will be doing one day. I'm excited."
I can't wait to find out what AMC has in store for SMG once her story airs. All My Children takes it's final bow in September. Ringer premieres on Tuesday, September 13 at 9 on the CW
