BAD NEWS BLAIR

She May Be Llanview’s Resident Bad Girl, But ONE LIFE TO LIVE’s Blair Just Wants To Be Loved

In 1991, a conniving woman by the name of Blair Daimler (now Cramer) blew into Llanview. Mia Korf originated the role but when the Amerasian left the show in 1993, blonde-haired, green-eyed Kassie DePaiva took over. “Blair is perfectly dysfunctional,” laughs DePaiva. “She feels everything deeply, whether it’s happiness, anger, lust, jealousy, fear… I love that she’s a bitch with a lot of heart.” Here, in character, DePaiva remembers the ups and (mostly) downs of Blair’s life.

1993

“Viki and Sloan hunted me down because they needed me to verify something for his book on Victor Lord - they wanted to know if Dorian had admitted killing Victor,” recalls DePaiva. “They found me down in Miami with my boys.” Blair had kids? “I was hanging out with some young boy toys,” she laughs.

1994

As soon as Blair returned to Llanview, she began blackmailing Dorian (again) and hitting on Max (again). “I pursued Max in every way I could,” she grins.

Around this time, The Wild Rose Club casino opened, and Max became addicted to gambling. While Cord and Luna tried to break his bad habit, Blair encouraged it. “It was a way for me to spend time with him,” she explains. “Max was addicted to gambling and I was addicted to him.” One night, Luna kicked Max out. Feeling rejected, Max turned to Blair. “We went to Atlantic City and hooked up with RJ, who was a loan shark,” she explains. “Everything tailspinned from there. I became more obsessive and possessive as Max’s gambling addiction became worse.”

After their escapade, Max took his son, Al, to his ranch in Texas and Blair tagged along. But soon after, Luna arrived to patch things up. Cord kidnapped Blair and took her to Asa’s nearby ranch so that his friends could reconcile. With Blair out of the picture, Max, Luna and Al went to the local fair, but Blair escaped from Cord and took off in his truck. “I was driving to the fair to find Max,” explains the actress. “I swerved to miss Al and accidentally hit Luna instead.” Luna was paralyzed and Max broke things off with a distraught Blair.

“I attempted suicide by turning up the gas stove in my apartment,” she explains. Luckily, Cord found her passed out and stood by her while she recovered. “I finally realized that I was addicted to Max and started up a relationship with Cord because he was nice and safe.” Unfortunately, Blair found herself playing second fiddle to Tina and finally got fed up. “Around this time, I ran into Todd at Rodi’s,” she remembers. “Initially, I didn’t know who he was. We commiserated about what losers we were.”

That is, until Blair dropped her purse and spotted the prison I.D. bracelet that Todd was wearing around his ankle. “At that point, I thought, ‘Stay away from me.’” But the two lost souls kept running into one another, and Blair finally realized that Cord was never going to put her first. “On Christmas, I went over to Todd’s and offered myself to him as a Christmas gift,” she chuckles. The couple had sex and it was the beginning of what seemed to be a beautiful relationship.

1995

When Blair figured out that Todd was the heir to the Lord fortune, the money-hungry vixen set out to land him. “I tricked Todd into getting married by faking a pregnancy,” she admits. The couple wed on a beach in Key West.

Several weeks after the nuptials, Tina revealed to Todd that he was her brother and Todd inherited 27.8 million. “After Tina warned Todd that I was a gold digger, he made me take a pregnancy test,” the actress says. “I thought for sure I wasn’t pregnant but I was. It was hilarious!”

Sadly, when Blair was mugged a few weeks later, she lost the baby. “Those were really tough scenes,” DePaiva reveals. “Blair wanted a baby; so did Todd. It was the first thing that she would have had on her own.”

When Max informed Todd that Blair had originally lied about being pregnant, Todd lost it. “He almost raped me,” says DePaiva. Blair stopped Todd by reminding him of his past rape of Marty but the marriage was over. “We had lost the baby and that was a reason for us not to be together.” Todd filed for a divorce.

But Blair soon discovered that she was pregnant - again. “Everybody thought I was lying this time for sure,” laughs DePaiva. “But I really was pregnant. I contemplated not having the baby, until it brought Todd and me back together.” The couple remarried at St. James church. “We were really, really happy,” she smiles. Before they could go on a honeymoon, Todd decided that he wanted to make amends with Marty and flew to Ireland. “It was always about Marty,” DePaiva sighs. “I thought the only reason that Todd loved me was because I looked like her.” In Ireland, Todd was mistaken for Patrick, shot and presumed dead. A bitter Blair blamed Marty for Todd’s “death.”

1996

Luckily, baby Starr filled the void in Blair’s life. After a run-in with Marty, an enraged Blair cut off her hair (because she didn’t want to look like Marty), then went into labor - but gave birth prematurely.

Soon afterward, Blair began chasing Patrick. “Marty took my man away so I wanted to take away hers,” she says. “At first, I just wanted to get back at Marty. Then, I really started to like Patrick.” When Blair finally got the poet to sleep with her, Todd “returned from the dead” and spied their sexual encounter. Figuring that Blair never mourned his death, Todd kidnapped Starr. Eventually, he returned the baby, and Blair and Todd were about to reconcile. But Blair learned that she was pregnant - yet again - this time, with Patrick’s child. “That ruined everything,” the actress groans.

1997

Blair and Todd remained at odds. Though Todd filed for custody of Starr, the judge awarded temporary custody to Blair. Starr became ill with aplastic anemia and was in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. Of course, Starr’s best bone marrow match would have been Blair and Patrick’s unborn child.

“Then we had the car accident,” says DePaiva. On a rainy night, Blair and Patrick were on their way home from the hospital when a sobbing Kelly (who had just been dumped by Joey) ran their car off the road. “I lost the baby and thought I had lost Starr too because of the accident. Those scenes were very difficult because I was pregnant in real life,” she confides. “Looking back, I wish I’d never had to play it.” After the accident, Alex donated bone marrow to save Starr’s life. Meanwhile, Blair was hospitalized.

“I was in a coma and Todd hooked up with Téa to betray me yet again!” she exclaims. “While I was in a coma, he divorced me and took custody of my daughter.” But Blair fought back and after a speedy recovery, vowed to win Starr. Unfortunately, on the night before the custody hearing, something went terribly wrong. “Téa provoked me to the point that I pushed her out a window so I lost custody because of that,” DePaiva says.

1998

Mel and Cassie began looking into the Cramer family’s history of mental illness. DePaiva notes that Blair and her mentally ill mother, Addie, have a very loving relationship. “Starr and Addie are the two people who Blair would do anything for.”

While working to sink her claws into billionaire Ian Armitage - she thought his money would help in her fight to win Starr back - Blair hooked up with Max as part of a plan to double-cross Todd and give Ian control of The Sun. “My relationship with Max since then has continued as a love-hate relationship,” explains DePaiva, adding that she loves working with her real life hubby.

Blair also found herself working with Todd again when he re-hired her as a reporter for The Sun. “I think the Todd/Blair relationship is my favorite storyline because it’s so multifaceted,” she says.

Slowly, Blair and Max started to fall in love again, until she discovered that Max was working for Asa and using her to obtain incriminating information about Todd. Max apologized profusely and even proposed, but Sam entered the picture. “I just want to be loved - but honestly!” DePaiva cries, in character.

Today, Blair is torn between two men: she cares for Sam but is being blackmailed by Max, who knows that Blair knows Todd is faking his alternate personalities. And if the truth comes out about Todd, Starr will lose her father because Todd will be sent to jail. “I think Blair wants to choose the high road, but I don’t think she’ll ever be able to do it,” says DePaiva. “Blair will probably be the ultimate loser and get screwed over like she always does.”

The Bold And The Beautiful: Ridge Makes A Decision, Tells Everyone About It

"The Bold and the Beautiful," the beloved soap opera that has captivated audiences for decades, continues to deliver intense drama and unexpected twists. In a recent episode, one of the show's central characters, Ridge Forrester, made a life-changing decision that sent shockwaves through the entire cast. This article will delve into Ridge's decision, the repercussions it has on the storyline, and the reactions of the other characters, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Ridge's Crucial Decision In the latest episode of "The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers," Ridge Forrester, played by the talented Thorsten Kaye, faced a critical choice that would forever alter his life. After much contemplation and weighing the consequences, Ridge decided to end his tumultuous relationship with Brooke Logan, the love of his life. This shocking revelation stunned fans who have been invested in their complex and passionate romance for years.

The decision stemmed from the culmination of recent events, including trust issues and the reemergence of past conflicts. Ridge came to the realization that their love was tainted by too much history, making it impossible for them to sustain a healthy, long-lasting relationship. The audience witnessed Ridge's inner struggle as he agonized over the decision, torn between his deep affection for Brooke and the need for a fresh start.

The Fallout Naturally, Ridge's decision had a profound impact on those closest to him. Brooke was devastated, as she never anticipated that Ridge would take such a drastic step. Her heartbreak resonated with viewers who have been invested in their turbulent journey together. The emotional aftermath of Ridge's decision provided gripping scenes filled with tears, anger, and profound introspection.

Meanwhile, Ridge's newfound freedom also had ripple effects within the Forrester family. His adult children, Steffy and Thomas, were caught off guard by their father's choice, each reacting differently. Steffy, who had always rooted for her parents' reunion, was initially crushed but eventually realized that this was for the best. Thomas, on the other hand, saw this as an opportunity to pursue his own agenda and seize control of the family business.

The Reactions of Other Characters Ridge's decision reverberated through the tight-knit community of "The Bold and the Beautiful," and the reactions from other key characters were equally captivating. Ridge's ex-wife, Taylor, expressed both concern and empathy towards Brooke while grappling with her own unresolved feelings for Ridge. Her involvement added an additional layer of complexity to an already intricate web of relationships.

Furthermore, the news reached Eric Forrester, Ridge's father, who had been a steadfast supporter of his son's relationship with Brooke. Eric's disappointment and concern for his son's happiness were palpable, leading to compelling confrontations and heartfelt conversations.

Additionally, Ridge's decision didn't go unnoticed by the show's infamous villains. Quinn, a character known for her manipulative tendencies, saw this as an opportunity to further her own agenda. She began plotting ways to exploit the situation to her advantage, creating additional tension and drama for viewers to enjoy.

Conclusion "The Bold and the Beautiful" continues to captivate audiences with its bold storytelling and compelling characters. Ridge Forrester's recent decision to end his relationship with Brooke Logan has brought a seismic shift to the show's narrative, leading to emotional upheaval and surprising alliances. As fans eagerly await the next episode, they are left speculating on the repercussions of Ridge's choice and the path each character will take in the aftermath. The drama intensifies, and loyal viewers are left.

Llanview's Leading Ladies Let Loose

"We are family" might be the new motto for ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Cramer women. United in the pursuit of fame, fortune and a fabulous wardrobe, these ladies have decided that they can get what they want without the help of the opposite sex. (From left) Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Gina Tognoni (Kelly), Robin Strasser (Dorian) and *Laura Koffman (Cassie) sat down with Soap Opera Digest for a no-holds-barred chat at the chi chi Cafe des Aristes restaurant in New York City.

Digest: What's the best thing that's happened to you this year?

Strasser: It's a little self-serving, but winning the Soap Opera Digest Award has to be right up there. That was a big thrill.

DePaiva, Koffman and Tognoni in unison: Very well deserved.

Strasser: I hate that expression, girls.

DePaiva: Robin hates any compliment you ever give her...

Tognoni: ... while she's working.

Strasser: And I'm a little superstitious, too. After dress rehearsal, they'll say, "Oh, that was so good." I'm like, "Don't tell me."

DePaiva: She thinks we're complimenting her, but we're not. I'm trying to tell her she sucks.

Strasser: Thank you for sharing, Kassie.

DePaiva: Actually, her wardrobe is what's working (smiles). There have been some dresses she's worn that I'll say, "I'm sorry, I cannot work with this. She has those big boobies; I can't work with her."

Strasser: (Ray, the stage manager) always says, "We're just trying to make the material more uplifting."

DePaiva: It's like, never work with babies, animals or Robin's breasts. You just can't compete.

Tognoni: You should see her when she has that negligee stuff on.

Koffman: Thank God, Cassie never walked in on it!

Strasser: All right, was that dress too low-cut for the Soap Opera Digest Awards? Yes, it was, but I had never worn anything like that. Even my mother was astonished.

Koffman: Everybody said you looked so fabulous.

Tognoni: You looked great.

Strasser: I got nailed by the New York Daily News for wearing too low-cut a dress and they said Gina's was...

Tognoni: Too frumpy. We both made the paper.

Strasser: Patricia Mauceri (Carlotta) and I once made "Worst Dressed" in the Enquirer. We didn't deserve it. It was the hottest day, 104 degrees, and we were at a blood drive. We were giving up our time for a fund-raiser and we got nailed for wearing flowered dresses.

DePaiva: If I wore Blair's dresses out in the street, I would be acosted!

Strasser: Just because they don't cover your rear end?

DePaiva: They don't cover my rear end, they don't cover my boobs. I love Susan Gammie (OLTL costume designer) but she...

Strasser: ... undresses you.

Digest: And how about you, Gina?

Tognoni: I was nominated for a Soap Opera Digest Award - that was fantastic. It was the first time I'd ever been nominated for anything.

DePaiva: Won't be the last, honey.

Strasser: She's the best young actress I've ever worked with - and I've worked with plenty.

Digest: Which OLTL actor would you like to work with that you haven't already?

DePaiva: I think Laura (as Cassie) should have a fantasy sequence. In each scene a different actor comes in and takes his clothes off and she sleeps with him. The first scene should be with Kevin Stapleton (Kevin).

Koffman: I like him.

DePaiva: There was a scene where Cassie is supposed to be speechless when she sees Kevin without his shirt on. (In real life) Laura said, "Oh my God."

Koffman: I was so mortified, he opens up the door and I was like (shows a stunned look). I blew all my lines.

DePaiva: It was right on cue.

Koffman: And Robyn Goodman (supervising producer) said, "Nice chest, huh Laura?"

Strasser: Does he have a nice chest?

DePaiva: Yes.

Digest: Who would you like to work with, Gina?

Tognoni: Susan Haskell (Marty). I think she's awesome. And Thorsten Kaye (Patrick). I had a few scenes with him. Man, he's so there. He's sooo there.

Koffman: I never worked with Roger Howarth (Todd).

Digest: You'd like to work with Roger?

Koffman: Oh yeah, in a minute.

Strasser: I would love to work with Bob Woods (Bo). Years and years ago, Dorian and Bo went on a date. He took off his cowboy hat and planted one on me. It was enjoyable. They never let me do a scene with him again. Broke my heart.

Digest: Let's do a male word association. I'll name a co-star and you tell me the first word that pops into your head. We'll start with Thorsten Kaye.

Tognoni: Sexy.

Strasser: Wow. Wow.

DePaiva: Lovely.

Digest: John Loprieno (Cord).

Tognoni: He's really sweet.

Koffman: Brilliant.

Strasser: Dreamboat.

DePaiva: Precious. He's going to hate us, you know that.

Digest: Nathan Fillion (Joey).

DePaiva: Nathan is the best.

Tognoni: He's a brilliant comedian.

Koffman: He gives a lot of love and he needs a lot of love.

Strasser: Look how much he's changed in just the last year and a half. He's a major player and we'll all be very proud to have known him.

Digest: Phil Carey (Asa).

Tognoni: Curmudgeon. Hilarious.

Koffman: I love him. He's great.

Strasser: Bigger than life.

DePaiva: I love him. And I love working with him.

Digest: Moving on to dressing rooms - whose is the messiest?

Strasser and DePaiva: Probably mine.

DePaiva: Laura and I share a room. She is clean. When I moved in with her, she told me where I could hang my pictures.

Koffman: I did not.

DePaiva: Yes, you did. You hung them for me, actually.

Digest: Let's talk wardrobe.

DePaiva: We need to get Dorian a new wardrobe. I'm taking her shopping.

Strasser: My mom thanks you. Actually, if there's anybody who need to be taken shopping, it's Cassie.

Koffman: Agreed.

DePaiva: When you start doing Kevin.

All: Oooohhh.

DePaiva: I see that coming around the corner. Of course, last week, Dorian says, "Come on Cassie, aren't you tired of that reverend?" I thought I would...

Koffman: Die.

Digest: What film actor would you love to work with?

Koffman: Kevin Bacon. I find him amazing.

DePaiva: He's over at my gym all the time. I would love to work with John Travolta. I think my energy could work off him. That'd be fun.

Strasser: Robert DeNiro and Liam Neeson. In separate scenes. And Tommy Lee Jones. Yep, darn it. I didn't play the part then, but Dorian apparently had an affair with Tommy Lee Jones' character (Dr. Mark Toland, 1971-1975)

Koffman: I love Harrison Ford. I saw him once in Sloan's supermarket at 10 o'clock at night. I said to him, "I love your work, forever." Forever? Shit! He looked at me and said, "Thanks." For three days, I kept thinking, "What a jerk I am. What a jerk!"

Digest: Is there an initiation ritual you go through when you do your first love scene on the show?

Tognoni: They took my underwear and hung it on the flagpole.

Koffman: Ugghhh!

Tognoni: Joking.

Digest: Is it awkward doing a love scene?

Koffman: They're the hardest.

DePaiva: Love scenes are not ad-libbed; they're choreographed.

Strasser: You wouldn't want to do a love scene with somebody who you didn't like the taste, smell, or feel of - that's a lot like life.

DePaiva: I worked with an actor for a year and a half who didn't want to do love scenes with me. He was very uncomfortable with sexual scenes. That's very difficult, but you have to do the best you can and try not to take it personally.

Digest: What's the most revealing outfit you've had to wear on the show?

DePaiva: I had to strip down to a bra and panties. You feel extremely naked. I've also done love scenes where I just have pasties on.

Tognoni: I just did that last week.

Strasser: I don't wear pasties.

Tognoni: You don't wear anything?

Strasser: No.

DePaiva: Good for you.

Strasser: If something showed, I would rather they cut the tape than have that Band-Aid shot.

Koffman: So you don't wear anything?

Strasser: I wear underwear but I don't wear anything up above.

Digest: What do you think about the Cramer women uniting?

DePaiva: I think it's very interesting and very dynamic.

Strasser: It's a good family unit.

Koffman: I'm just hoping that it keeps developing. It's so powerful.

DePaiva: I think women's issues can be dealt with. And we could talk about self-esteem.

Tognoni: Even though Kelly doesn't have any.

DePaiva: See, that's something. Neither does Blair. I think the Cramer women can put the "fun" in dysfunction.

Digest: And what would you like to do as a united family?

Tognoni: Kick some butt!

Julie Pinson's Soapnet Chat Transcript

(Friday Feb. 25, 2005)

Moderator: The chat with Julie will begin in just a few minutes so get your questions ready!

Moderator: Don't worry, we're still chatting with Julie today. She's running slightly late and is racing to the phone as I type!

Julie Pinson: Hi everybody! I'm glad that you all are joining us for a chat. This is my first time doing this but please be gentle!

Penny Hey Julie, it is great to see you on Days.. Was it strange for you to take over the role from Lisa Rinna?

Julie Pinson: No, it wasn't strange at all. I think if Lisa wasn't available to do the role, I think it was fated to be mine.

DAYSfan

hey Julie! i love watching you on DAYS! i'm wondering if anyone has ever told you that you look like Rosalind Russell? you should audition for The Women remake!

Julie Pinson: Rosalind Russell? I've never heard that one but I'm flattered!

becky

at what age did u start your acting.

Julie Pinson: The first time I remember is when I was in sixth grade and I was in the play, Heidi. I played Fraulein Rottenmeyer, the bad lady. At the curtain call, my family stood up and clapped so loud and I loved the feeling so much that I knew it was what I wanted to do.

daysluvr

hey julie, thanks for chatting with us today. i was wondering how you are adjusting to being on days? who has been the biggest help to you in the cast?

Julie Pinson: Definitely, Peter and Kristian. My storyline is with the two of them so obviously I spend most of my working time with them. They've helped fill me in on the show history and family and things like that. Basically, I found out that I'm related to everyone in Salem!

LuvThatBo

Were you a DOOL fan before landing the role of Billie, and if so, for how long?

Julie Pinson: Honestly, when I was growing up the only show that I watched was AMC. I hear the Boos coming, lol. I do remember being in a restaurant about 15 years ago and looking at the TV and seeing Kristian ice-skating. I remember thinking how beautiful she was.

Jessica

Hello Julie! I think you're doing a great job as Billie. I don't miss Lisa at all! Do you think there BIllie will fall back into drugs because of her sadness over not having Bo or Georgia?

Julie Pinson: Anything's possible. I would hope that Billie would be stronger than that but finding out that my daughter is alive is a life changing experience. I'm not sure how much disappointment it would take for Billie to go over the edge again.

sandy

do you want to always act the bad girl along with kate. to me you and kate makes sami look like a saint.

Julie Pinson: I think it's just as fun to play the bad girl, it's more fun. I think the fans like to have the bad girl on screen. If everyone was nice and wonderful it would be really boring.

Steff

Hi Julie.

I watched you on PC and Eve and Ian were one of my favorite couples. Have you kept in contact with Thorsten Kaye after you left PC?

Julie Pinson: Unfortunately I haven't. He's in NY doing AMC and we lost touch after my run on PC ended. But I loved acting opposite him.

LuvThatBo

Do you think finding your character's daughter will make her stronger or more dependent?

Julie Pinson: Stronger. I think it would give her something to live for and it would give her life meaning. I think it will strive to make her a better person.

Leslie

Who would you like to have more scenes with or work with more from the show??

Julie Pinson: I like working with Lauren (Kate). I think it might be fun for the two of them to partner up and try and wreak havoc. I would also love to Thaao Penghlis (Tony). I don't know what kind of story we could have but I would love to work opposite him. For storyline purposes I think it would be cool if Billie tried to infiltrate the DiMeras and take Tony down.

Anna

Thank you for your great preformances. LOL I want to slap you at times though for what you are doing. It looks like you are enjoying this roll. Is it fun playing Billie Holiday Reed?

Julie Pinson: Lol. I'm having a great time, it's fantastic.

jenny

i know it must have been hard on you when pc was cancelled....what's your fondest memeory from that show?

Julie Pinson: Working with Jon Lindstrom and Kin Shriner and what they taught me.

Julie Pinson: One more thing for the girl who wanted to slap me: If you didn't want to slap me at times, I wouldn't be doing justice to the character!

Desi

I was a huge Chris and Eve fan when you were on Port Charles and so felt that Eve died long before her storyline was over. I think you're doing an awesome job on Days as Billie and was so glad to see you back. In your opinion, what is the most challenging part of being in the daytime world?

Julie Pinson: I think the most challenging part is taking the stories that the writers come up with and making them work because sometimes the stories are really out there and we have to make the audience believe that it's really happening.

Holly

Hey Julie.. I remember reading once that you collect dolls. Do you still?

Julie Pinson: Yes, absolutely. I collect Barbies! I haven't bought any new ones in a couple of years. I got to the point where I thought I had enough. I just got a new Barbie catalogue so I might look at it after the chat!

BoluvsFancyFace

All the smiles and smirks that you do behind Hope's back, is that a touch that you add on your own or are you directed to do so?

Julie Pinson: I add it on my own. Do you hate it or love it? You have to bring something of your own to the character and the history that I understand Hope and Billie have warrant the smirks.

Holland

Loved your scenes with Bryan Dattilo (Lucas). Great brother and sister chemisty. Will there be more of that in the future?

Julie Pinson: I hope so! I haven't seen any scripts yet within the next few weeks where we're together but I love hanging out with Bryan.

Kallie

Hi Julie! I admire your acting on the show and loved you on PC as well. Who are your personal heros?

Julie Pinson: That's a good question. Well, I'd say one of my personal heroes is my best friend Sherry who has managed to raise her daughter (my goddaughter) by herself and hold a full time job. Single parents are amazing to me. My parents, as well.

Penny

Do you still keep in touch with any of your Port Charles costars?

Julie Pinson: Jon Linstrom is one of my best friends. Ion Overman and I still talk.

Connie Boaz

I love your hair. Can you give me some details on the type of cut it is and what you do to get it to look so great? i.e., products, styling etc.

Thank you

Julie Pinson: It's pretty much a razor cut. I use BedHead products - the Movie Star line. I also use KMS Configur and then I turn my head upside down and blow it dry.

noodle0043

Has it been hard playing Billlie and trying to come between Bo and Hope?

Julie Pinson: No, it's not hard because Billie has a reason for everything that she does. At this point, she's not trying to come between Bo and Hope on purpose. She's really not. You may snicker, but she really isn't. lol.

Oahu girl

Julie, do you think that it would be a better story for Billie to get over Bo and become a mother to Georgia? I know you are new to the show, but for long time viewers, this Billie coming between Bope story is old. It's unbelievable that after 16 years we are led to believe Billie has not moved on. Billie is better than that. I think Bope belong together. Billie needs a new man, and a new story. Do you agree?

Julie Pinson: I think that Billie deserves a chance at true love. And I'll leave it up to the writers to tell me who they think that is.

Kelly

What adivice would you give to someone who might be considering going into acting?

Julie Pinson: Love it more than anything in the world. Have a tough exterior because you'll have to get used to rejection. But it only takes one yes to make it to the top.

Alina

Are you friends with any of the cast members outside of work?

Julie Pinson: Brody (Patrick) and I hang out together.

Dawniebeth

Since you and Bryan are brother and sister I hope they make the big sister come out and protect him from his lying mom. Billie is smart enough to see thru Kates lies, do you think that might happen?

Julie Pinson: I think the truth is going to come out that Kate set Sami out and Billie will be very upset with her mother. I think right now Billie is giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Desi

I loved you as Eve. You and Nolan North had amazing chemistry as Chris and Eve. A lot of fans felt like the story ended way too soon for those two characters. Would you have liked to have seen Chris and Eve get together back in the day?

Julie Pinson: Most definitely, yes. I always thought that Chris and Eve would have made a great super couple. We would have taken over PC as the best super couple. I loved working with Nolan, by the way.

noodle0043

What characteristics do you and your character Billie have in common?

Julie Pinson: We're both strong and we both have a sense of humor. I've tried to infuse a little bit of humor into her because I think that I'm funny. Lol. We're independent women.

Holly

What do you enjoy most about being back in daytime?

Julie Pinson: I enjoy that I look forward to going to work every day and getting to do something that I love so much.

Kelly

Who's your favorite actor/actress(not from Days, of course!)?

Julie Pinson: My favorite actor is Robert Redford. My favorite actress would take too long to decide. Elizabeth Taylor is my all-time favorite movie star but I don't really have a favorite actress right now.

Kelly

Have you heard that Billy Warlock is returning to Days? Weren't the two of you engaged? Are you looking forward to working with him?

Julie Pinson: I've heard that Billy is coming back and I'm definitely looking forward to working with him. We have always remained friends.

Emanuel

If you had to play another on "Days" who would it be?

Julie Pinson: I wouldn't want to play any other character. I love playing Billie.

Kelly

I've particularily enjoyed the flashback scenes with Peter! How did you enjoy shooting those, especially with the long hair?

Julie Pinson: Those were fun. It was nice having long hair again. I enjoyed playing those flashback scenes because Bo is actually in love with Billie!

Brandy

What is the most exciting part about being a part of the Days of Our Lives cast? Anything in particular that's your favorite thing about working there?

Julie Pinson: My favorite thing about working at DAYS is that from the minute I stepped on that stage I have felt nothing but warmth and welcome from everyone - the cast and the crew. I have never had that experience working in the industry before. That's the truth!

Julie Pinson: Thank you all for chatting with me today. Thank you for the interest in myself and in Billie. Stick with her and I promise you'll never have a boring day! Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
