1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Still the Place with Laura Layton, Courtney thorn Smith.

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: And Daphney's Aniga an iHeartRadio podcast.

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, so this is our Melrose Minute.

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: It's a little different because Laura and I are here

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: in the middle of these La fires. We really want

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: to jump on and respond to our listeners. People are

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: sending out love from all around the world. I've really

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: been impacted by it and it reminded me that, you know,

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: we're all so connected. And we'll answer some fan questions,

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: but just FYI were all evacuated out of our homes.

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: I'm waiting to hear about my home. Courtney's waiting to

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: hear about her home. Laura and her whole family have

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: moved out of there, so you know, we're really going

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: through it.

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's quite a time in La and we

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: know that by the time you're listening things may have changed,

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: and really hoping that by that time they will be much.

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: More peace in the city and the fires will be

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: more contained.

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: So pray for us.

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 4: We wanted to be here to also just really express

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: our gratitude for so many people who've reached out and

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: expressing your concern and your thoughts, and we wanted to

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 4: let you know how important you as listeners continue.

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: To be for us.

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 4: So this will be a little bit of a different

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: episode today. We're not going to do a recap or

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: regular content. We're really just here to express our gratitude,

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: share our thoughts, and.

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: Also connect with you guys on a real level. Right,

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Like this is a podcast, it's a rewatch, but we're

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 2: also Laura and Courtney and I really care about each other.

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: We care about you guys as our listeners, and we're

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: telling you what is happening in real life now.

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: So that's important to us to connect with you. We

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: see your questions.

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: You guys, DM are still the place on Instagram. We

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: get tons of questions, and so here we are just

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: we're relating to you as people.

40
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: Yes, so let's do a couple of questions.

41
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: Okay, ones we get all the time, or what are

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: our favorite storylines? And what are our worst? So you

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: had so many of Sydney, what were yours?

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: Do you have that?

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? It is okay, very strange to shift gears in

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 4: this moment, but maybe it's a good distraction.

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: I think to talk about Melrose like this.

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 4: All right, So my character got to do a lot

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 4: of wacky things. Yeah, and I felt like it was

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: super fun to just sort of lean into that and

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: have a blast, like the ones that made me have

52
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: an opportunity to like dress the part or whatever, like

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: if Sydney was being a secretary, which I think was

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: one of my favorite eras is when she was working

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: in the burns Mancini Yeah, medical office, and she's like, oh,

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: I'm a secretary, a better dress like one, And so

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: that was super fun for me And also just like

58
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: playing with those actors and having that sort.

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: Of back in Thomas.

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: You know, you had a lot of comedy in your

61
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: character as Sydney. I didn't have a lot of I

62
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: had zero comedy as Joe. So your storylines like that

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: when you were the secretary hilarious, And it could have

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: been another show. It could have been like this trio.

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: You guys were all so funny.

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: We were on a little bit of a different show,

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Like yeahy.

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: Now tune into this episode. But then how was it

69
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 3: Laura to play the other parts? You did some very

70
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: serious things.

71
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: You were a stripper, you were a callgoer, you had

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: men taken advantage of you.

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: You had all that, which Joe.

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: Had a biz tons of bazillion men taken advantage of her.

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,559
Speaker 3: And but did you prefer the doing the lighter.

76
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: Comedic stuff as Sydney or the dramatic stuff for both?

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's obviously it's more fun to play

78
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: the comedy, and I loved that I had the character

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: that gave me the opportunity to do that.

80
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: But I thought it was also really important that.

81
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: Sydney had like a heart and like to see a

82
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 4: fully rounded person in the context of the show as well,

83
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: Like she was constantly in search of herself and trying

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 4: to you know, compete with her sister. And we're about

85
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: to finally have Sydney's first appearance on the show, and

86
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: we lay the groundwork for seeing that really what drives

87
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 4: her is her insecurity and her you know, trying to

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 4: live up to her expectations of herself and trying to

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: be like her sister or like at least figure out

90
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: who she is as a person. So like, having that

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 4: through line, I thought was, you know, always needed to

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: be a consistent thread, and sometimes it's dramatic, but I

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: also loved that she got to just be a little

94
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: bit like well, her quirkiness gets to come out in

95
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: this way, like in search of herself. She's always trying

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: something new on. Yeah, so yeah, having both I thought

97
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 4: was an important balance.

98
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was cool.

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: It's cool to see you do both. I've told you

100
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: that before. Cool to see do the wacky, funny stuff.

101
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: But then also you were so real and heartbreaking and

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 2: some of that other stuff as the vulnerable.

103
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: Well thanks, And you of course know that the drama

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 4: is exhausting, and it's exhausting too. I just you know,

105
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: had had nothing but on camera, you know, emotion and drama.

106
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: It's just as exhausting as an actor.

107
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's funny because you know I was.

108
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: I was exhausted, and yet I also a lot of

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: my training, well I did. I started out doing comedy,

110
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: that's the irony, but I really did get into the

111
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: drama of it. So, like my favorite stories were I

112
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: loved falling in love, so I had a lot of

113
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: love stories on there. You know, Joe was such a

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: dummy to leave Jake and then go for his brother Jess,

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: who you know, beat Joe up.

116
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: That was all very difficult for me.

117
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: But you needed the drama, so you had to leave him.

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: But I needed the.

119
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: Trauma and then you know, getting pregnant with Reed's baby

120
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: and all of that.

121
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: I mean, that was fun to do. The drama. So

122
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: I had a fight with him.

123
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: He hits me and you know, puts Gaffer's tape on

124
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: me and throws me at the bottom of the boat

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: in this hole, and then I fight my way out

126
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: and I you know, blow him up on the boat.

127
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: And so I loved having physical and emotional stuff to

128
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: do on camera.

129
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: I just am so comfortable with that. But yes, it's exhausting.

130
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: I did enjoy that storyline, and then having to go

131
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: to his parents and then Kimberly steals my baby and

132
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: tries to breastfeed the damn baby.

133
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: Give me, you're giving it all away for I keep

134
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: finding people who are like, I'm listening to your podcast

135
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: and I'm listening or I'm watching the episodes for the

136
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 4: first time, and I just love that people are are

137
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 4: good coming back to Melrose by discovering the podcast first

138
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: and then going now I want to watch the show.

139
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: So I love that. And so there are some people

140
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: out there who some of these stories might be.

141
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: I don't care, Laura. I want them to see me.

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: I want them to go get a paramount plus subscription

143
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: and see me throw a chair through the sliding glass,

144
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: mashing the window.

145
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: As I go after Kimberly, who as my baby. I mean,

146
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: it's all coming. I love that storyline too. You know,

147
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 3: we had such drama.

148
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: But I have to say, having said all that, when

149
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: we would get our scripts that didn't come very far

150
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: in advance. I remember being in the makeup trailer or

151
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: or you're exhausted shooting your day and then you go

152
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: back to your own trailer and there was that Manila

153
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: envelope and that was next week's script and it was.

154
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: A few days away. You know, I was very excited.

155
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: I always would like, say, what's my exciting dramatic stuff,

156
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: And yet towards the end, to be I'm gonna be

157
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: very honest here, towards the end, you know, things started

158
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: to really repeat. I mean, just scene after seeing it

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: was like I had another guy come in, a bad guy,

160
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: taken advantage and threatening me. And I don't know how

161
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: you felt, but there were times when I thought, oh god,

162
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: it just feels too familiar.

163
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: Do you have a recollection of your would you say

164
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: your least favorite storyline?

165
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: Then I don't have any story on specific enjoy doing.

166
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: I have to tell you it's true, but but I do.

167
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: The least favorite part of it is later in season three.

168
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: I did four years, so in season four, for sure,

169
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: Season three was wild and crazy and wonderful for all

170
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: of us. I think that was our big year. And

171
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: then season four for me is when it got kind

172
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: of repetitive and I'm like.

173
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: Oh, can't you know?

174
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: And I think I was thinking, can't they give me

175
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: some humor too? And every job since I've done, like

176
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 2: on Lantree Hill, I'd be like, can you please make

177
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: me drunk in the middle of the afternoon, as I say,

178
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: can I please be a little tipsy here and.

179
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: Have some humor, have some fun.

180
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: I always want to add a little humor now, you know,

181
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: even if it's dramatic.

182
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: Well, and like you know, we had chippeys On and

183
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 4: he commented that it's really kind of a universal theme

184
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 4: that years two and three are the best for the

185
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 4: writers as well. But like once you get into the

186
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: season four show, it becomes hard for everyone to come

187
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: up with new and creative stories.

188
00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: And it's hard.

189
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: It's a wonderful thing that we all went for so

190
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 4: many years on the show, but it does the evolution

191
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: of the seasons will have an ebb and flow to them,

192
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: and certainly after that, you know, initial explosion of wonderful scenes.

193
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 4: It's it is hard to come up with stuff that's

194
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 4: fresh for every single character, and you know.

195
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: And also for the because it's an ensemble, certain characters

196
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: have to be storyline heavy and then other ones have

197
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: to be like lighter, and then they switch around and

198
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 2: then you won't see so much of this couple over

199
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: here or this, and then you'll see a lot of

200
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: you know, the Joe and the baby, and then you

201
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: see a lot of they.

202
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 3: Can't keep it all up high.

203
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: They have to, which I which it gave us a

204
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: little break, you know, when you in between.

205
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: And what else we've got.

206
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: We've got some other fan questions here. We just appreciate

207
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 4: you guys sending these questions in and we sometimes we

208
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: just sort of accidentally answer what you're asking, but we

209
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: want you to know that we're hearing you when you're

210
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: reaching out, and we do love it when you ask questions.

211
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: The Daphne, i think, even addressed another fan question when

212
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 4: she said that we don't get our scripts very far

213
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: in advance. Someone wanted to know how much notice we

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: got with our scripts how far in advance, and like

215
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: like she said, we'd get our script in an envelope

216
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 4: only a few days before we had to start shooting it.

217
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: But that still gave the editors and everything plenty of

218
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: time to do post production before it needed to hit

219
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: the air. But in terms of our turnaround, we were

220
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: kind of just going right in a row and we

221
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: were wrapping.

222
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Up one episode.

223
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: We had to read the envelope and they didn't come

224
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: in an email at that time. But then we were

225
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 4: right into the next one, and it was I think

226
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: it was the same for all of us. We couldn't

227
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 4: wait to open that envelope and see how it's gonna happen.

228
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it's funny because you start to learn

229
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: your lines.

230
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: You have to start to learn and run away.

231
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 2: But then they have, you know, new pages, and every

232
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: time there's a new as a rewrite, there's like a

233
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: new color set of pages, and sometimes your your lines

234
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: would change, so you're like, you know, you have to

235
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: learn those changes. And sometimes I mean by the end

236
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: we'd have rainbow of our script would be tied together

237
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: with those brass you know, those little tab brads. It's

238
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: up they're called brads, and different colors, like six different

239
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: colors in there. Sometimes visions revisions, like when the revision

240
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: was made, they changed the color of the pages, so

241
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: you know, like he was more recent than pink and stuff.

242
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: Golden Rod, Remember Golden Rod, Golden Rod.

243
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a very colorful script.

244
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: Here's one question. What was it like shooting the Rolling

245
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: Stone photo shoot cover? We shot a lot that day.

246
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: Do you remember across from Paramount in that little I

247
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: forget the name of the bar sidebar?

248
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, And we should answer this one when we

249
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 4: have more of our cast to weigh in, because we

250
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 4: were all there for that. It was like, I think

251
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: it was one of our major magazine covers that were

252
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: all really proud to have been a part of bute

253
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: like no small feet, to have all those minim in

254
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: the height of our and this says the cover here.

255
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: We also did five others setups, so all get on

256
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 2: the inside. Well, they can cut this, our editor can

257
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: cut this out, or they can leave it on and

258
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: maybe we'll do a tease for next Melrose minute.

259
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: They'll be pieces of it that will.

260
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: Trust me.

261
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: There's many Melrose minutes to talk about to come.

262
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: But also There's another fan question.

263
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: Someone asked, what is the storyline your character was involved

264
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 4: in that Your first thought was, wow, this is over

265
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: the top, even for Melrose, which.

266
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: I will say we all thought of at some point.

267
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 4: You're right, it wasn't just the audience going wow, this

268
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: is over the top, even for Malurs.

269
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: I think there were Honestly, I thought that.

270
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: Sydney often had the oh, you want to do something like,

271
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: let's give it to Sydney, and so I would read

272
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: the script and go, really, I was being a stripper

273
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 4: first to a cult and like being a madam. I

274
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 4: went from being a call girl out of desperation and

275
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 4: then not just that she tries to, you know, take

276
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: over being a madam whatever souper fun. But a lot

277
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 4: of the times I would ask myself, oh, my gosh,

278
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 4: really is this I mean, is this over the top?

279
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 4: And then somehow it managed to be exactly what the

280
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 4: audience wanted and it was super fun, and it was

281
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: just kind of a challenge to go, all right, how

282
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: do we take this over the top, And even the

283
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: building blowing up, we were oh, yeah, this is going

284
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: to be spectacular, but it felt like a bit of

285
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: a shark and so We just jumped it.

286
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: And like all right, let's go and let's do it

287
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: as well as well.

288
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 2: We didn't have to say, you know, we just had

289
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 2: to read it and make it work.

290
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: That was our job.

291
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: So it was like, okay, and it's like I again,

292
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: season three, you start to go season two and three,

293
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: you were like, oh, this is going to be over

294
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: the top, more and more and more and more. But

295
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: it's you know, and well working or not, you have

296
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: to make it work. We had no say, we couldn't

297
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: change any lines, you guys. So you know the thing

298
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: about Joe's baby, Joe's has a baby, then it's kidnapped.

299
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 2: I mean I was on David Letterman once and I

300
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: couldn't keep up with where the baby went. It was

301
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: like then it was kidnapp then I got him back,

302
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: then he was stolen again, then it was you know,

303
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: and then finally gave him up in the end, and

304
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: it was like that was over the top, you know,

305
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: But again, I enjoy the drama. But this is when

306
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: the world loved the show, when it was so over

307
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: the top, you know, they loved it. They talk about all.

308
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: Of that, and I think I'd be remiss if I

309
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 4: didn't mention the fact that Jane and Sydney buried Richard alive.

310
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: So that was a big spoiler people, for those of

311
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 4: you who haven't watched Melrose yet, that's coming.

312
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, to bury a guy alive.

313
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 4: But and then what happened, and then what happened when

314
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: more over the top thing happens.

315
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: Alive being the key word, right, Laura alive.

Speaker 2: I just want to mention we all talked about how

319
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: popular Chips episode was, and we loved talking to Chip

320
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: and he We all agree it was too short and

321
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: all the fans were saying it was too short. So

322
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: we definitely will have Chip Hays on again. We are
