“For me, it was Eileen Davidson [Ashley].
I knew she appreciated working with
people who are prepared. One day in the
hair and makeup room, she wanted to run
lines and I didn’t have my script with me.
Luckily, I already learned my lines and
after we were done, she said, ‘You know
your stuff. Good.’ I was so relieved.”

“Certainly it would’ve
been Ali Sweeney [ex-
Sami], even though she
was super-sweet and
cool. She was doing THE
BIGGEST LOSER and
so we’d have to be up
early and then done. She
was able to operate at a
different frequency, I think,
than most people. She’s
so diligent and she had
been on the show for a
long time and there was
just a real comfortability
about her. And ultimately,
it was great. I totally loved
working with her. She was
just intimidating ’cause of
who she was and what was
happening and all that.”

Cynthia Watros (Nina, GH)
“Well, I grew up in Michigan watching Josh
and Reva on GUIDING LIGHT. So when I was
cast [as Annie], the person who was coming
in between my beloved Josh and Reva, it was
both bizarre and intimidating, very intimidat-
ing, to be working with Kim Zimmer [ex-Reva,
far r.] and Robert Newman [ex-Josh].”
