Rocky EVERYONE Pay attention for a moment.....

If we continue to write, is there a chance that the new EP and Megan will keep our Don/Joey and is that still what you would like to happen? Rocky I would love to stay for 6 months to a year right now, but anytime people write in and give opinions Rocky especially AShapiro and GTomlin, it's a good thing. 6JanCaboose Thanks. I'll continue to write Rocky I don't know what Gary has in store for me but the more they write, the better chance I have for them to continue extending Rocky my contract. As it stands I don't plan on staying for more than a year. 6JanCaboose Thanks Don onelifetoliveADM Okay LISA...GO AHEAD 7Lisa Don, Do you plan on doing movies? Rocky I plan on auditioning for movies ROFL 7Lisa that's great good lick tell him 7Lisa luck whoops 7Lisa omg Rocky I hope to do movies, yes. I've been auditioning for film and television to try something new 8Ann Don, what would be your dream storyline for Joey? Rocky I would like to see him maintain realistic edge they've given him Rocky Find a new career choice other than photography. DJing at a new club (Christians) something more fun, more upbeat and more hip Rocky that I can use my personality in. I never want to see him going back to the "Old Joey" that constantly was sappy Rocky I'd like to see him get more edgy and sexy 8Ann I'd love to watch that. Thanks, Don. onelifetoliveADM OKAY #11TY...GO AHEAD 11ty Who are you closet to at One life to live?

I forget to tell you that I acted with Timothy Gibbs two years ago at the Woodbridge mall. How do you like working with him? 13reese Can you tell him that the shy girl that acted with him said hello? I don't know if he will remember me. Rocky It's always nice to work with someone you were friends with prior to the job. We've been friends for over 3 yrs and working with someone you know so well 13reese It was great to meet you at the fair Rocky makes it easy to produce a natural feeling in the scene. 13reese Thanks Don Rocky I'll tell him you said hi. onelifetoliveADM Okay...#16ilar go ahead Rocky He might get cut off again...he's heading in the garage :) Rocky but continue 16ilar Hi Don, thank you for being so personable and approachable.

I would never say anything negative about being on a soap because it's been Rocky a wonderful experience and it taught me a lot 18Keria thanks and good luck u will always have my support Rocky It all depends on the character. If it's interesting and challenging, I would absolutely go to another soap. onelifetoliveADM OKAY...#25LAURIE..GO AHEAD 25laurie You are my favorite actor on OLTL. Any plans for coupling up with "Sophia again? You are great together. Rocky If I stay or if they have me stay for awhile, I would put money on Joey and Sophia romantically. 25laurie Best Wishes in what ever you do. Rocky I like them together and I love working with Charissa and so much fun to work with. Rocky Thank you onelifetoliveADM OKAY....#33 NANCY...GO AHEAD 33Nancy Hi Don!!! I hope u haven't forgotten me your "fave intern" from OLTL. It was truly a pleasure to work with such a great guy like you. I wish you the very best in all u do. my question is what is the best memory you take with you from working on OLTL? - Nancy Rocky There are so many different experiences that I could tell about, it's hard for me to choose one Rocky The memories that I'll always have are the friends that I've made on the who 33Nancy well I wish you the best and I hope to see u soon! Rocky All the stuff I've learned about myself as an actor I will always take with me. onelifetoliveADM OKAY...#34...GO AHEAD 34Jill Hi Don...I wish you all the best in whatever you do. I really like the relationship between Joey and his mom...tell us your thoughts on working with Erika Slezak Rocky For almost a year I didn't have any scenes or very few scenes with her. Just recently have I had any with substance so it's been kind of weird working with her again especially having to Rocky create the chemistry of mother and son without being around her very often Rocky It's always a pleasure to work with her and she's been nothing but supportive 34Jill You make it very believable...thanks Rocky even through the rough times I had with the character. She's always been on my side onelifetoliveADM #35 PATTI....GO AHEAD 35Patti Don do you have an address where your fans can reach you after OLTL? Rocky That's a possibility that I'll try and work on. Most likely it will be my agency or my manager onelifetoliveADM OKAY #41 MELISSA...GO AHEAD 41Melissa How do you feel about JFP leaving and going to General Hospital? Rocky It's happening at a weird time in my career at OLTL. I wasn't surprised to see it take place because she's been there and she's made her mark Rocky Believe it or not, I think she's helped the show in many ways even though my character took a hit from her presence. onelifetoliveADM OKAY...don has time for a few more questions....Janice...do you have something else you would like to ask? 6JanCaboose (being a Derwin fan I think she's helped too. You are charitable though.) Don I loved your vision for Joey. Definitely could go for Sexy and Vibrant, was it? Now, if you could switch parts and be any other character on the show, who would you choose and why? Rocky but lately the character (writing) has taken a huge turn for me and there's been a lot of great stuff given to me to work with. Rocky I'd want to be Todd Manning, of course! Rocky His character and the way they write for him is so intriguing and interesting and his storyline always has Rocky wonderful twists to them. Not to forget all the stuff that Roger adds to it. 6JanCaboose Does Roger ad-lib a lot? Rocky He's thinking LOL Rocky Yes, many of us choose to ad lib. My personal feeling is that it brings life to the scene 6JanCaboose I agree. Thank you onelifetoliveADM OKAY...HOW ABOUT #8 ANN....Do you have another question you would like to ask? 8Ann Don, what would you consider to be the best role you've ever had? Rocky The most fun I've ever had was doing Westerns when I was younger like Dr. Quinn and Red River because I love doing Westerns Rocky I enjoyed making the movie "Wish Upon a Star" Rocky and as cheesy as the show was, I enjoyed going to Australia to film "Flipper" 34Jill Hey, I used to watch Flipper 34Jill LOL 8Ann Thanks, Don. I wish they had made Joey more challenging for you, because you're very talented. Rocky Thank you. I look at it like this. At least now I'm getting a chance to work with the material that I've wanted for the last 2-3 years 8Ann Too bad it took so long for them to give it to you. But I'm glad you're enjoying your present material. onelifetoliveADM okay...#11 TY...GO AHEAD 11ty What is Susan Misner like? I mailed you a Christmas card the other day I hope you like it!

I had to work Would like to see you again Rocky The Luke and Vanessa luncheon has been postponed until the beginning of the year 13reese that's missed. Good luck in the future Rocky I will be doing at least 2 or 3 Home Depot signings in Jersey in the Freehold area in the next month 13reese Will they be sent by e-0mail as to when? 13reese Thanks again Don Rocky Yes, once I have the dates and times confirmed by Don, I will send out the info onelifetoliveADM OKAY...#15 VICKIE..GO AHEAD 15Vickie Are there any appearances scheduled in Alabama? Rocky No but I sure wish there were. I would love it if anyone had any ideas how to make that happen Rocky (Rocky here.....he has to come to Houston first LOL) 15Vickie Have they decided what to do with your character? 6JanCaboose How about Chicago? Rocky Not that I know of. Rocky For all I know, the end of this month may be my last shows. I haven't seen the scripts yet 15Vickie thanks, guess I'll have to keep watching onelifetoliveADM OKAY...#16 ILAR..GO AHEAD 16ilar To date, where is your favorite place to vacation and why?--and I'll keep writing to keep you on OLTL longer--And Good luck!--AND What about Detroit???.

I bumped into Yorlin ex-Cristian he was really nice. Rocky In NY I usually do charity events so any special events I usually try and make. As far as personal (solo) appearances, I don't have any right now. 18Keria and Don OLTL's lost will be someone else's gain good luck Rocky My personal choice of hang outs in the city is a small country bar called "Yogis" onelifetoliveADM OKAY....#25 LAURIE...GO AHEAD 25laurie Would you go back if they asked you too to OLTL? 25laurie I will miss seeing your nice face :( Rocky I would sign a reoccurring contract with the show and I would never, ever be against coming back in the future depending how busy I am 25laurie Would you move to LA for work on a different soap? 25laurie Best of luck! Rocky Right now my management are really trying to focus on prime time and film Rocky I would like to give that a try for the next year or two Rocky but again it all depends on the character offered to me 25laurie You are the best! onelifetoliveADM #33 NANCY...GO AHEAD Rocky I *WOULD* stay away taking over the part of an established character (i.e., no more recasts) 33Nancy Hey Donnie . Is there a role you would NEVER do? and why? Rocky There are certain things that I would try and stay away from portraying if I felt they had a negative influence on society Rocky but that's not consisting of bad or psycho characters because sometimes those are the most fun to play Rocky I would try and be choosy on certain material 34Jill Don, what kind of music do you like? Rocky Just about every kind of music there is. I have the most eclectic collection of CD's known to man 34Jill Very cool onelifetoliveADM OKAY #35 PATTI...GO AHEAD 35Patti Have the contracts been signed by Gina, and Mark yet?

Goodnight. Rocky Hang on, Don has something to say in closing :) Rocky Thank you all for your support.
