onelifetoliveADM   Hi Charissa!!! So glad to have you here tonight!
CHARISSA   Thank you very much. Glad to be here.
onelifetoliveADM   Everyone has been so excited to meet you, are you ready to start with some questions?
CHARISSA   Yes
onelifetoliveADM   okay then, #2Pam....go ahead
2Pam   Hi Charissa, thanks for all your time. I want to know if you could write for Sophia who would you have her hook up with and why?
CHARISSA   That's dangerous. I love the Antonio storyline, however my other top choices would include Cristian... or dare I say Todd?
2Pam   LOL.. Thanks
onelifetoliveADM   Okay, #3 Katie..go ahead
3Katie   If you were to meet Sophia socially, is she someone you would want as a friend? Why or why not?
CHARISSA   Definitely, because this is a girl that knows how to have a good time. Although she can be conniving, she's not so concerned with a lot of superficiality.
3Katie   Thanks! Hope she gets to have a good time soon ... don't see that much on screen!
CHARISSA   I know. Boo hoo
onelifetoliveADM   Okay..#5 Jenn...go ahead
5HicklandFan   Are there any actors or actresses on OLTL that you aren't working with that you would like to work with? BTW...I think Sophia and Lindsay could have sooo much fun together! LOL
CHARISSA   I totally agree and besides Lindsay I'd love to have more scenes with Viki and Ben. I'm biased, I just love them. And of course, Todd.
onelifetoliveADM   okay..#6 Ilar..go ahead
6ilar   Hi Charissa. When did you know you wanted to act and what or whom was your biggest influence toward that career?
CHARISSA   I knew when I saw Annie at 4, but I didn't decide until I did my first play at twelve. I have to say my Mom was my biggest influence just because she always encouraged me. She always told me I could do the impossible.
6ilar   good for her. Thanks
onelifetoliveADM   Okay...#7Traci...go ahead
7Traci   Hiya Charissa! I really enjoyed the relationship Sophia had with Rae. Will we get to see more of that in the near future? I miss those threesomes with she and Rae and John ;-)
CHARISSA   I hope so! After the shower scenes, that gave Sophia a chance to seek support from Rae again. I think Rae will always be a maternal figure to Sophia.
7Traci   oh good, thanks!!
onelifetoliveADM   That was a great shower scene Charissa! 
#8 Joan...go ahead
8Joan   Hi Charissa. You have dazzled me with your scenes of hassling Ben at the bar, and those with Mdm Delphina and Dorian. And you've had such emotional scenes with Rae, John and Antonio and Cristian.
8Joan   What was one of your favorite scenes to do and who was it with and why was it so fun to do?
CHARISSA   Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
CHARISSA   Besides making out with Cristian for half an hour in the car, interspersed with the fantasy of Antonio in the car... I'd have to say my favorite acting scenes were when my brother died. As an actor it was both tremendously challenging and rewarding.
8Joan   I remember you had me in tears when he died. Who thought I'd care about Freddy Pelligrino! Thanks, Charissa
8Joan   You were one lucky babe with Cris in that car.
onelifetoliveADM   Okay..#9Jill go ahead
9Jill   Hi Charissa. Thanks for giving us your time after a long day. I love your new hairstyle. How do you like wearing the cop uniform?
CHARISSA   Thank you. I love my new hairstyle too. It's fun. As far as the cop uniform, it's also fun but I wouldn't mind a few more glamorous dresses.
9Jill   I hear ya....thanks
9Jill   thanks
onelifetoliveADM   okay....#11 Rocky...go ahead
11Rocky   Charissa, I enjoy your work so m much! Is there any actor/actress that you would love to work with on OLTL or anywhere else?
CHARISSA   To reiterate, my favorites are Viki and Ben but I'd also like to work with that bad ass Todd. As far as off the soap, I think Kevin Spacey is a genius.
11Rocky   Sorry for the repeat :) I came in late! Thanks :)
CHARISSA   No problem!
onelifetoliveADM   Okay....AngelHOST, go ahead.
AngelHOST   Hi Charissa:) Thanks for coming out tonight. I was wondering, would it be a possibility that Sophia would be Rae's child?
AngelHOST   I know that you can't disclose that info, but I think that it would be cool since Sophia and Rae are like mother and daughter anyways
CHARISSA   I wish, I wish, I wish, unfortunately... well, you'll find out this week.
AngelHOST   Thanks:) You are a terrific actress. Thanks for coming out tonight with your busy schedule
onelifetoliveADM   Okay...#12 Melanie..go ahead
12Melanie   Hi Charissa :) so glad you can make it, YOU ARE MY #1 FAN!!......Do you think its easy being an actress? And are you going to do any movies?
12Melanie   sorry, I meant I am your number #1 fan haha
CHARISSA   Thank you Angel, Melanie I am your #1 fan! Easy isn't a word I would use. I think many actors would say that, however I take what I do very seriously and work hard at it and I would love to do movies some day as well as return to the theater. I just love to act.
12Melanie   Thanks Charissa :)
onelifetoliveADM   Okay...#13Karen..go ahead
13Karen   Hi Charissa, first I want to say that I am a big fan of yours!! Okay, my question, what things would you like to see storyline wise for Sophia in the new year?
CHARISSA   I would like for Sophia to pursue some sort of involvement with Cristian in order to make Antonio jealous. Who knows where that would lead. I would also like something gritty like, I know this is dar, but I'd love the acting challenge of having to do something like a drug addiction storyline, while still on the force.
13Karen   I would love Sophia and Cristian too! And a drug addiction story would be great, I'm sure you would do a good job. Thanks Charissa! :o)
onelifetoliveADM   Okay...#15...go ahead
15Patti   Hi Charissa. Do you get the chance to ad-lib? If so, can you recall any lines/scenes that you loved doing this?
CHARISSA   For sure! Can anyone say lollypops. That's all me baby. There was also a scene way back when I faked tears on a letter to Joey. At the end of that scene, when I got up to leave I stopped and said "Damn I'm good!" That was me. I do it a lot and I'm lucky they let me.
15Patti   LOL Thanks
onelifetoliveADM   Okay...#16Ann...go ahead
16Ann   Charissa, I really enjoy your performances. Your acting seems effortless and totally natural. I'd love to know what you consider your best role ever.
  ....... 14Benzgirl joined.............
CHARISSA   Thank you. That's a big compliment. I think no matter how hard you work at it the final product should always seem effortless. My favorite role ever was Ophelia in Hamlet.
CHARISSA   PS I'm Benzgirl!
16Ann   Wow! I love Shakespeare. Thanks, Charissa.
14Benzgirl   LOL
onelifetoliveADM   okay...#19 Victoria..go ahead
19Victoria   Hey Charissa, I love your name. I think Sophia and Cristian have great chemistry and David Fumero is HOT! Any more good scenes coming up with you and him? And, don't be wanting to use my Cristian. LOL
CHARISSA   Only with the best of intentions. Sophie likes Cris. Yes there are some coming up. Stay tuned!
19Victoria   Thanks, girl. you are fabulous. Hey try and get David to do a chat.
CHARISSA   I'll see what I can do.
onelifetoliveADM   okay....#20Beth....go ahead. (And ya...we'd love to hear from David too I agree) ;-)
20Beth   Hi Charissa - You know I love you! I know you love working with Mark - and that he loves to adlib - what's the best adlib he ever threw at you - was that line of his about Llanview cops being so cute an adlib?
CHARISSA   Yes and I have to say that since he told me I was cute that was probably my favorite.
20Beth   Thanks - we could see you smile!
onelifetoliveADM   #21 Stephanie.....you're up...go ahead :-)
