<v Speaker 3>Hey everyone, so this is our Melrose Minute.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 2>It's a little different because Laura and I are here

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of these La fires. We really want

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>to jump on and respond to our listeners. People are

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 2>sending out love from all around the world. I've really

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>been impacted by it and it reminded me that, you know,

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 2>we're all so connected. And we'll answer some fan questions,

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>but just FYI were all evacuated out of our homes.

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm waiting to hear about my home. Courtney's waiting to

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 2>hear about her home. Laura and her whole family have

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>moved out of there, so you know, we're really going

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>through it.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's it's quite a time in La and we

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 4>know that by the time you're listening things may have changed,

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 4>and really hoping that by that time they will be much.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>More peace in the city and the fires will be

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>more contained.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 3>So pray for us.

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 4>We wanted to be here to also just really express

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 4>our gratitude for so many people who've reached out and

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 4>expressing your concern and your thoughts, and we wanted to

<v Speaker 4>let you know how important you as listeners continue.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 3>To be for us.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 4>So this will be a little bit of a different

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 4>episode today. We're not going to do a recap or

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 4>regular content. We're really just here to express our gratitude,

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 4>share our thoughts, and.

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Also connect with you guys on a real level. Right,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Like this is a podcast, it's a rewatch, but we're

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 2>also Laura and Courtney and I really care about each other.

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>We care about you guys as our listeners, and we're

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>telling you what is happening in real life now.

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 3>So that's important to us to connect with you. We

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 3>see your questions.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>You guys, DM are still the place on Instagram. We

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>get tons of questions, and so here we are just

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we're relating to you as people.

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so let's do a couple of questions.

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, ones we get all the time, or what are

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>our favorite storylines? And what are our worst? So you

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>had so many of Sydney, what were yours?

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you have that?

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? It is okay, very strange to shift gears in

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 4>this moment, but maybe it's a good distraction.

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I think to talk about Melrose like this.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 4>All right, So my character got to do a lot

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 4>of wacky things. Yeah, and I felt like it was

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 4>super fun to just sort of lean into that and

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 4>have a blast, like the ones that made me have

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 4>an opportunity to like dress the part or whatever, like

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 4>if Sydney was being a secretary, which I think was

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 4>one of my favorite eras is when she was working

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 4>in the burns Mancini Yeah, medical office, and she's like, oh,

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm a secretary, a better dress like one, And so

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 4>that was super fun for me And also just like

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 4>playing with those actors and having that sort.

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 3>Of back in Thomas.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, you had a lot of comedy in your

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>character as Sydney. I didn't have a lot of I

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 2>had zero comedy as Joe. So your storylines like that

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>when you were the secretary hilarious, And it could have

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>been another show. It could have been like this trio.

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>You guys were all so funny.

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>We were on a little bit of a different show,

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Like yeahy.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Now tune into this episode. But then how was it

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.839
<v Speaker 3>Laura to play the other parts? You did some very

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 3>serious things.

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 2>You were a stripper, you were a callgoer, you had

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>men taken advantage of you.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 3>You had all that, which Joe.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Had a biz tons of bazillion men taken advantage of her.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.559
<v Speaker 3>And but did you prefer the doing the lighter.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Comedic stuff as Sydney or the dramatic stuff for both?

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think it's obviously it's more fun to play

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 4>the comedy, and I loved that I had the character

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 4>that gave me the opportunity to do that.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was also really important that.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 4>Sydney had like a heart and like to see a

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.839
<v Speaker 4>fully rounded person in the context of the show as well,

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Like she was constantly in search of herself and trying

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 4>to you know, compete with her sister. And we're about

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 4>to finally have Sydney's first appearance on the show, and

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 4>we lay the groundwork for seeing that really what drives

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.839
<v Speaker 4>her is her insecurity and her you know, trying to

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 4>live up to her expectations of herself and trying to

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 4>be like her sister or like at least figure out

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 4>who she is as a person. So like, having that

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 4>through line, I thought was, you know, always needed to

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 4>be a consistent thread, and sometimes it's dramatic, but I

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 4>also loved that she got to just be a little

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 4>bit like well, her quirkiness gets to come out in

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 4>this way, like in search of herself. She's always trying

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 4>something new on. Yeah, so yeah, having both I thought

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 4>was an important balance.

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it was cool.

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>It's cool to see you do both. I've told you

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>that before. Cool to see do the wacky, funny stuff.

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>But then also you were so real and heartbreaking and

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.359
<v Speaker 2>some of that other stuff as the vulnerable.

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 4>Well thanks, And you of course know that the drama

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 4>is exhausting, and it's exhausting too. I just you know,

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 4>had had nothing but on camera, you know, emotion and drama.

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 4>It's just as exhausting as an actor.

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, that's funny because you know I was.

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I was exhausted, and yet I also a lot of

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 2>my training, well I did. I started out doing comedy,

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>that's the irony, but I really did get into the

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>drama of it. So, like my favorite stories were I

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 2>loved falling in love, so I had a lot of

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>love stories on there. You know, Joe was such a

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>dummy to leave Jake and then go for his brother Jess,

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 2>who you know, beat Joe up.

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 3>That was all very difficult for me.

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 1>But you needed the drama, so you had to leave him.

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>But I needed the.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Trauma and then you know, getting pregnant with Reed's baby

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and all of that.

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that was fun to do. The drama. So

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 3>I had a fight with him.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 2>He hits me and you know, puts Gaffer's tape on

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 2>me and throws me at the bottom of the boat

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 2>in this hole, and then I fight my way out

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>and I you know, blow him up on the boat.

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>And so I loved having physical and emotional stuff to

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 2>do on camera.

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 3>I just am so comfortable with that. But yes, it's exhausting.

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I did enjoy that storyline, and then having to go

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to his parents and then Kimberly steals my baby and

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 2>tries to breastfeed the damn baby.

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Give me, you're giving it all away for I keep

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 4>finding people who are like, I'm listening to your podcast

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 4>and I'm listening or I'm watching the episodes for the

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 4>first time, and I just love that people are are

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 4>good coming back to Melrose by discovering the podcast first

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 4>and then going now I want to watch the show.

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>So I love that. And so there are some people

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>out there who some of these stories might be.

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't care, Laura. I want them to see me.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I want them to go get a paramount plus subscription

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and see me throw a chair through the sliding glass,

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>mashing the window.

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 3>As I go after Kimberly, who as my baby. I mean,

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 3>it's all coming. I love that storyline too. You know,

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.239
<v Speaker 3>we had such drama.

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>But I have to say, having said all that, when

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>we would get our scripts that didn't come very far

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>in advance. I remember being in the makeup trailer or

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>or you're exhausted shooting your day and then you go

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>back to your own trailer and there was that Manila

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 2>envelope and that was next week's script and it was.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 3>A few days away. You know, I was very excited.

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>I always would like, say, what's my exciting dramatic stuff,

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 2>And yet towards the end, to be I'm gonna be

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 2>very honest here, towards the end, you know, things started

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>to really repeat. I mean, just scene after seeing it

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 2>was like I had another guy come in, a bad guy,

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 2>taken advantage and threatening me. And I don't know how

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 2>you felt, but there were times when I thought, oh god,

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>it just feels too familiar.

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 4>Do you have a recollection of your would you say

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 4>your least favorite storyline?

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Then I don't have any story on specific enjoy doing.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I have to tell you it's true, but but I do.

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 2>The least favorite part of it is later in season three.

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I did four years, so in season four, for sure,

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Season three was wild and crazy and wonderful for all

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>of us. I think that was our big year. And

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>then season four for me is when it got kind

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 2>of repetitive and I'm like.

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, can't you know?

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think I was thinking, can't they give me

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>some humor too? And every job since I've done, like

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.719
<v Speaker 2>on Lantree Hill, I'd be like, can you please make

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 2>me drunk in the middle of the afternoon, as I say,

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 2>can I please be a little tipsy here and.

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Have some humor, have some fun.

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I always want to add a little humor now, you know,

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>even if it's dramatic.

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, and like you know, we had chippeys On and

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 4>he commented that it's really kind of a universal theme

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.319
<v Speaker 4>that years two and three are the best for the

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.599
<v Speaker 4>writers as well. But like once you get into the

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 4>season four show, it becomes hard for everyone to come

0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 4>up with new and creative stories.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's hard.

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 4>It's a wonderful thing that we all went for so

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 4>many years on the show, but it does the evolution

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 4>of the seasons will have an ebb and flow to them,

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 4>and certainly after that, you know, initial explosion of wonderful scenes.

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 4>It's it is hard to come up with stuff that's

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.319
<v Speaker 4>fresh for every single character, and you know.

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 2>And also for the because it's an ensemble, certain characters

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 2>have to be storyline heavy and then other ones have

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>to be like lighter, and then they switch around and

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.839
<v Speaker 2>then you won't see so much of this couple over

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>here or this, and then you'll see a lot of

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Joe and the baby, and then you

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 2>see a lot of they.

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:34.839
<v Speaker 3>Can't keep it all up high.

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 2>They have to, which I which it gave us a

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 2>little break, you know, when you in between.

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>And what else we've got.

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 4>We've got some other fan questions here. We just appreciate

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 4>you guys sending these questions in and we sometimes we

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 4>just sort of accidentally answer what you're asking, but we

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 4>want you to know that we're hearing you when you're

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 4>reaching out, and we do love it when you ask questions.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 4>The Daphne, i think, even addressed another fan question when

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.319
<v Speaker 4>she said that we don't get our scripts very far

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 4>in advance. Someone wanted to know how much notice we

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 4>got with our scripts how far in advance, and like

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 4>like she said, we'd get our script in an envelope

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 4>only a few days before we had to start shooting it.

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 4>But that still gave the editors and everything plenty of

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 4>time to do post production before it needed to hit

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 4>the air. But in terms of our turnaround, we were

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 4>kind of just going right in a row and we

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 4>were wrapping.

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Up one episode.

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 4>We had to read the envelope and they didn't come

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 4>in an email at that time. But then we were

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 4>right into the next one, and it was I think

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 4>it was the same for all of us. We couldn't

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 4>wait to open that envelope and see how it's gonna happen.

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then it's funny because you start to learn

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>your lines.

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 3>You have to start to learn and run away.

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 2>But then they have, you know, new pages, and every

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 2>time there's a new as a rewrite, there's like a

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>new color set of pages, and sometimes your your lines

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>would change, so you're like, you know, you have to

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 2>learn those changes. And sometimes I mean by the end

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 2>we'd have rainbow of our script would be tied together

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 2>with those brass you know, those little tab brads. It's

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 2>up they're called brads, and different colors, like six different

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 2>colors in there. Sometimes visions revisions, like when the revision

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 2>was made, they changed the color of the pages, so

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, like he was more recent than pink and stuff.

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Golden Rod, Remember Golden Rod, Golden Rod.

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was a very colorful script.

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Here's one question. What was it like shooting the Rolling

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Stone photo shoot cover? We shot a lot that day.

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember across from Paramount in that little I

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>forget the name of the bar sidebar?

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Maybe yeah, And we should answer this one when we

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 4>have more of our cast to weigh in, because we

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.679
<v Speaker 4>were all there for that. It was like, I think

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 4>it was one of our major magazine covers that were

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 4>all really proud to have been a part of bute

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 4>like no small feet, to have all those minim in

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 4>the height of our and this says the cover here.

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>We also did five others setups, so all get on

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.719
<v Speaker 2>the inside. Well, they can cut this, our editor can

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 2>cut this out, or they can leave it on and

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe we'll do a tease for next Melrose minute.

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>They'll be pieces of it that will.

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Trust me.

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 2>There's many Melrose minutes to talk about to come.

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>But also There's another fan question.

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Someone asked, what is the storyline your character was involved

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 4>in that Your first thought was, wow, this is over

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 4>the top, even for Melrose, which.

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I will say we all thought of at some point.

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.719
<v Speaker 4>You're right, it wasn't just the audience going wow, this

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 4>is over the top, even for Malurs.

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I think there were Honestly, I thought that.

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Sydney often had the oh, you want to do something like,

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 4>let's give it to Sydney, and so I would read

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 4>the script and go, really, I was being a stripper

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 4>first to a cult and like being a madam. I

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.719
<v Speaker 4>went from being a call girl out of desperation and

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 4>then not just that she tries to, you know, take

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 4>over being a madam whatever souper fun. But a lot

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 4>of the times I would ask myself, oh, my gosh,

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.679
<v Speaker 4>really is this I mean, is this over the top?

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 4>And then somehow it managed to be exactly what the

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 4>audience wanted and it was super fun, and it was

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 4>just kind of a challenge to go, all right, how

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 4>do we take this over the top, And even the

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 4>building blowing up, we were oh, yeah, this is going

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 4>to be spectacular, but it felt like a bit of

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 4>a shark and so We just jumped it.

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And like all right, let's go and let's do it

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>as well as well.

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.079
<v Speaker 2>We didn't have to say, you know, we just had

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 2>to read it and make it work.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 3>That was our job.

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.079
<v Speaker 2>So it was like, okay, and it's like I again,

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>season three, you start to go season two and three,

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>you were like, oh, this is going to be over

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the top, more and more and more and more. But

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, and well working or not, you have

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to make it work. We had no say, we couldn't

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 2>change any lines, you guys. So you know the thing

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>about Joe's baby, Joe's has a baby, then it's kidnapped.

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was on David Letterman once and I

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 2>couldn't keep up with where the baby went. It was

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 2>like then it was kidnapp then I got him back,

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 2>then he was stolen again, then it was you know,

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and then finally gave him up in the end, and

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 2>it was like that was over the top, you know,

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 2>But again, I enjoy the drama. But this is when

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the world loved the show, when it was so over

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the top, you know, they loved it. They talk about all.

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Of that, and I think I'd be remiss if I

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 4>didn't mention the fact that Jane and Sydney buried Richard alive.

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 4>So that was a big spoiler people, for those of

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 4>you who haven't watched Melrose yet, that's coming.

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to bury a guy alive.

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 4>But and then what happened, and then what happened when

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 4>more over the top thing happens.

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Alive being the key word, right, Laura alive.

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>It was fun to take the audience along for the

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>ride before we go.

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I just want to mention we all talked about how

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>popular Chips episode was, and we loved talking to Chip

0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 2>and he We all agree it was too short and

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>all the fans were saying it was too short. So

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>we definitely will have Chip Hays on again. We are

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 2>starts with Darren and we're going to reach out to

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the other writers. You know, we've talked to our other castmates,

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>but we're going to have him on again and other people.

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 2>And don't you worry, it's all coming.

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 3>There's so many stories that we don't even know about

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 3>behind the scenes.

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 4>So I think that's that's about all we can manage

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 4>for this time, a little mini episode for today, but

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.200

<v Speaker 4>all three of you are Still the Place.

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's there's drama La Laura.

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 2>It's just making me think there's drama in fiction and

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>then real life drama, you know, and uh, it's I mean,

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it's just really intense.

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Because we're layering the two.

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.880
