Zach Slater and Kendall Hart Slater are fictional characters and a supercouple from the American daytime drama All My Children. Zach is portrayed by Thorsten Kaye, and Kendall is portrayed by Alicia Minshew. The couple is often referred to by the portmanteau "Zendall" (for Zach and Kendall) on Internet message boards. Originally scripted by former All My Children head writer Megan McTavish, the couple was never intended to be a serious romance; notable viewer response to the pairing led All My Children writers to reconsider and script them as true loves. The couple became one of the primary focuses of the show, and their popularity resulted in their being named a top soap opera couple. In 2006, newspaper Chicago Sun-Times took interest in the appeal of Zach and how his romance with Kendall incites jealousy from female viewers abroad. In late 2007, TV Guide Canada named the pairing one of soap opera's best supercouples.
