1995: Spinning from her divorce from Anton, Kendall grew close to her one remaining ally, Del. When Kendall got word that her adoptive father had died suddenly, she decided to return home to Florida. She and Erica reached a tentative truce before she left town with Del.

2002: Erica lured Kendall back to town to testify at La Kane's trial for the murder of Frankie, correctly guessing that Kendall would double-cross her on the stand. (This is what Erica wanted because she was trying to protect Bianca, whom she believed to be Frankie's killer.) Kendall clashed with Ryan, but their antagonism gave way to passion, and they got engaged. She was framed for arson and tried to clear her name by seducing Aidan. Unfortunately, Ryan caught her in the act, broke up with her and fled Pine Valley. She slept with Aidan, but they didn't become emotionally attached. Kendall learned that she and Trey, her roommate/attorney, shared the same father. Kendall and Greenlee cofounded a cosmetics company, Fusion, with the help of Liza, Mia and Simone.
