2: OLTL Luncheon Review held May 6, 2001
After the applause had died down, it was time for the Q&A session. Laurie suggested
that Needles be the one to run from audience member to audience member, since she was wearing heels. He did an admirable job of covering the
room and letting many fans have their say. Laurie, in turn, provided the actors with the microphone and asked questions of the newer cast members.
The first query was lobbed to Erin Torpey, as one fan wanted to know when Jessica would get a real job. Erin laughed and indicated that it wouldn’t
happen any time soon, since Jess is in college. She assessed her character as “a lucky girl with good clothes.” As expected, someone asked about the
identity of Colin’s killer. Jessica Morris flat out denied being the culprit, and all the others remained mum on the subject.
Bob Woods was quizzed about when Bo and Nora would get back together. “I don’t know,” he stated. “But I know who killed Colin. The writers,” he quipped.
Another fan wondered what changes would take place with Gary Tomlin at the helm. “I don’t know,” Bob began again, then seriously replied that Gary
wants to get back to more character motivated actions. Other than that, the new EP apparently plays things close to the vest.
When asked if Cristian and Jessica would reunite, David Fumero borrowed Woods’ “I don’t know” line. Erin responded that Will and Jess are going
through a tough time, but that she wasn’t very nice to Cristian, either, so she can’t see him wanting her back. She lamented that her two handsome
co-stars are leaving, which confirmed the rumors of Jason’s exit.
Linda Dano thanked a fan for a heartfelt gift – a framed photo of Brent Collins, the late actor who played Linda’s sidekick, Wallingford, when she
appeared as Felicia on Another World. She spoke of her sojourn to General Hospital, and joked that she was going to let Alan Quartermaine try to
straighten Skye out. She added that Rae will soon be working as Blair’s therapist.
Inquiring minds wanted to know what’s really in the glasses of bourbon that are so often imbibed on the show. Diluted tea was the decidedly
non-alcoholic answer. We were also informed that ginger ale substitutes for champagne.
Gina Tognoni fielded the general question about what it’s like to work with Roger Howarth. She admitted that Roger is wonderful, that he’s very “in the
moment,” and that he does a lot of improvisation. Ed Kershen, when asked if Harry will meet Niki, responded, “I’ll get Viki! Mark my words.”
