Speaker 1: It's nine Ogene Onegine with Jenny Garth and Tory Spelling.
Speaker 2: We are talking to Angel Boris, who played.
Speaker 3: Emma Bennett.
Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, look at you red hair? No longer?
Speaker 1: Was that just for your character? No, I have I
Speaker 1: actually my hair was red for for a long long time,
Speaker 1: but I haven't. I haven't been red in a while.
Speaker 1: It's so I'm not a natural redhead. So it's a lot.
Speaker 1: It's a lot.
Speaker 4: It's torture, isn't it. I went through the same thing.
Speaker 4: It's and yours was like a lighter red.
Speaker 3: It's so hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so hard to maintain, and it just I
Speaker 1: don't even to be honest, I don't even know how
Speaker 1: I got that color. It was just a mixture of
Speaker 1: like sun and son in and oh my gosh, well
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: The perfect color for your Vixen character.
Speaker 4: The most perfect Bob I think I've ever seen to date.
Speaker 4: You know what, Bob and Bang still calm about my hair.
Speaker 1: People ask me all the time, when am I going
Speaker 1: to go back to the Bob with the bangs, And honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't. Never.
Speaker 2: Never you heard it, hair people, never.
Speaker 1: Never, no, no, no, I'll never say never. But I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. The bangs are horrendous. When you try to
Speaker 1: grow them out, it's it's awful, and yeah.
Speaker 3: Gen, Gen's like yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Every time I cut bangs to try to like
Speaker 2: be back in the olden days, I regret it so
Speaker 2: much because they don't look the same.
Speaker 1: They don't look the same, and when you once you
Speaker 1: try to grow them out, it's awful. It's like that awful, weird,
Speaker 1: awkward face. And I just don't want to ever deal
Speaker 1: with that again. So I do something more manageable.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: You probably can't see, but it's actually purple purple. It's
Speaker 1: like a deep purple. I have a so much gray hair,
Speaker 1: so purple just kind of fits. And some pieces are
Speaker 1: lighter and so inside in the dark it looks it
Speaker 1: looks really dark.
Speaker 3: It looks really good on zoom.
Speaker 1: Yes, you guys look amazing.
Speaker 3: Holy moly, you look the same except yep.
Speaker 1: My different found some old photos too from set show us,
Speaker 1: show us.
Speaker 2: That's us.
Speaker 1: Like wait, wait, wait, here's here's a good one.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy. I know.
Speaker 3: Look, you have got to send me that.
Speaker 1: Yes, I can wow.
Speaker 2: Wait, okay, let's talk about this because you joined nine
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1: So was it, well, actually, was it ninety seven? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like late ninety seven or early ninety eight,
Speaker 1: because I moved out here in ninety seven, and this
Speaker 1: was kind of like the first first job I booked.
Speaker 1: To be honest, it was like my first real big audition.
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, welcome to this World's.
Speaker 2: Confused because I had a baby in late ninety seven,
Speaker 2: but I'm not pregnant on the show right now.
Speaker 3: You already had look like it was it.
Speaker 1: Was season eight. I keep saying. My recollection is ninety eight.
Speaker 2: It feels like it was the beginning of ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Ninety seven is when I moved out here. And well,
Speaker 1: I remember when we were shooting. It was right around
Speaker 1: the holidays because they doubled up, so everything was like
Speaker 1: they were shooting two shows a week instead of the one.
Speaker 3: So so your episodes were double ups.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So did you enjoy that one.
Speaker 3: Of your first jobs or first job?
Speaker 2: What it?
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't my very first job, but one of
Speaker 1: the first big things I had booked out here. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then double ups, which is we try to explain
Speaker 4: this off and on. It's really hard to but it's
Speaker 4: literally filming two episodes at once. Yeah, and it's so
Speaker 4: much work and so many location changes. They're like just
Speaker 4: getting you in between sets and your brain gets scrambled.
Speaker 1: The main thing was I mean, it was fine. It
Speaker 1: was you know, it was definitely hectic, but you know,
Speaker 1: it just gave me less time on set with you guys,
Speaker 1: which was a bummer because I, to be honest, this
Speaker 1: was still to date one of my most amazing experiences
Speaker 1: because I feel like you learned so much from some
Speaker 1: show like this, you know, you learned so much from everything,
Speaker 1: from the whole process from you guys. So I was
Speaker 1: kind of bummed that I didn't get as much time,
Speaker 1: you know, but it was it was still good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but definitely.
Speaker 4: Heck, Dick, we talk as through starting like your first
Speaker 4: day on set, like what was the feeling, Like.
Speaker 1: Wow, I was really nervous because you know, like this
Speaker 1: was this was the first I had just moved to
Speaker 1: La not that long ago, new agent, new manager, you know,
Speaker 1: and walking on set with all you guys was a
Speaker 1: little nerve wrecking. However, I did have there was one
Speaker 1: good thing I knew I in I knew I in
Speaker 1: before this wine tropic, So it was there was a
Speaker 1: familiar face for me, so that kind of broke a
Speaker 1: little bit of the ice. And I feel like you
Speaker 1: guys were all so like welcoming, so it kind of
Speaker 1: put me at ease right away. So it wasn't as
Speaker 1: terrifying as I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is all in real time coming back to me. Yes,
Speaker 4: so you knew Nicki correct?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, but I do I in before Nikki.
Speaker 4: Okay, so we're talking about Nicki Zering, who was Ion's
Speaker 4: first wife.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, okay, you Iron?
Speaker 2: Wait what was Iron in a Hawaiian tropic campaign?
Speaker 1: He liked the judge, was a judge for one of
Speaker 1: the things, and and then there was a big uh
Speaker 1: celebrity invitational thing that they did in Jamaica and he
Speaker 1: was there for that. So that's how we originally had
Speaker 1: met before Iron, before any of it, I mean, before Nikki,
Speaker 1: before any of it. He was like one of the
Speaker 1: first people that I had met, and he was just
Speaker 1: so nice. Think about Iron. He remembers everything, and he
Speaker 1: remembers everybody, And it was like when I had walked
Speaker 1: in on set, it had been a long time since
Speaker 1: I had seen him. So the fact that he was like,
Speaker 1: oh hey, Angel. I was shook because I I was like,
Speaker 1: how does he remember me? Because that was years ago,
Speaker 1: all the fine tropic in Jamaica. But yeah, so that
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, put things a little bit at
Speaker 1: ease for me.
Speaker 2: That's the time to remember when he loved Jamaica.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who, I want to take you.
Speaker 2: He was always going to Jamaica. I remember. I think
Speaker 2: he took his family there on holiday trips.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was great. It was a great trip.
Speaker 2: What did you think about playing Brandon Walsh's secret love interest.
Speaker 3: The woman that turned Brandon Walsh?
Speaker 1: And literally a very hard role to step into. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with a couple like Brandon and Kelly,
Speaker 1: such a power couple that had been together for so long,
Speaker 1: and then in comes this bitch you know basically yeah
Speaker 1: fixed and whatever your you know, home wrecker, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard to walk in and be that
Speaker 1: person to shake things up. And for a long time,
Speaker 1: right after, like right after I had aired, it was
Speaker 1: hard because you know, I'm really sensitive, so I was
Speaker 1: like listening and stupidly going online and reading what people
Speaker 1: were saying, and they were ripping me apart, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, oh my god, they hate me.
Speaker 1: But I realized that, well maybe then, I maybe that
Speaker 1: just means I did a good job. Because they hate
Speaker 1: me that much.
Speaker 2: You did a great job.
Speaker 1: It's so far from who I am. So but it
Speaker 1: was super fun to play. It's just it's a really
Speaker 1: it's a really hard role to come in and play
Speaker 1: the person who does something like that, no matter what
Speaker 1: show it is.
Speaker 2: You know, imagine, I imagine. I'm sorry that that felt
Speaker 2: bad afterwards. But Tory and I have been talking about
Speaker 2: it for a couple episodes. Now we don't blame you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're so likable, Like that's the thing. I
Speaker 4: don't think I was very likable watching it back now
Speaker 4: at our age, maybe it's different, Like right.
Speaker 2: Kelly was she wanted to be friends with you? Like
Speaker 2: you were that good.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's interesting. I mean, I you know,
Speaker 1: I went in and I knew it was just five episodes,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to do the best job I
Speaker 1: could leave an impact and hopefully, you know, stir things up.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think she had much. You know,
Speaker 1: she was she was probably somebody who was used to
Speaker 1: never being told no, you know, had her sight set
Speaker 1: on something, and then the minute she realized, oh wait
Speaker 1: a second, oh he has a girlfriend. You know, she
Speaker 1: became this vindictive, horrible bitch, you know. So it was
Speaker 1: it was a fun, fun role to play, for sure,
Speaker 1: but death n watch. You know, like people thought I
Speaker 1: was really really that awful for so long.
Speaker 3: I mean, she talked to Jamie Walters. Yeah, it's so
Speaker 3: Jenna and I have been talking about this.
Speaker 4: Do you think at any point Emma actually did fall
Speaker 4: in love with Brandon?
Speaker 3: I think she is capable.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think she really liked him,
Speaker 1: and I think she you know, like I said, I
Speaker 1: think she had her sights set on him, but I
Speaker 1: don't think she really knew, you know, or even if
Speaker 1: she did know, that's to be determined. I guess that's
Speaker 1: you know, who knows if she knew that he had
Speaker 1: a girlfriend. But I think once she realized, maybe it
Speaker 1: became a challenge for her. You know, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I don't think she's somebody who really gets told no
Speaker 1: very often. So I think when she set her sights
Speaker 1: on him and then, you know, befriending Kelly though, was
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not clear if she was like she so
Speaker 2: when she found out he had a he had a girlfriend,
Speaker 2: and I didn't. I felt like there was that part
Speaker 2: of her that like wanted to show what was like
Speaker 2: what Brandon was capable of as a girl's girl, almost
Speaker 2: even like you had you did what you did to
Speaker 2: uncover this, like because.
Speaker 1: He was a dog already with right right, Oh, you
Speaker 1: know another way of looking at it, for sure, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe it was to uncover.
Speaker 2: What he now maybe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so many different ways. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: I never really dug too deep into what her real
Speaker 1: motivation was, but you know, I just kind of I
Speaker 1: remember asking the director like, how do you want? How
Speaker 1: do you see this? Like what do you want? You know,
Speaker 1: what's the feeling of it? And you know, so I
Speaker 1: kind of went with that and I'm glad it came
Speaker 1: off well. I mean, it was definitely very talked about
Speaker 1: for so long, still very still is yes, I mean
Speaker 1: at first it was, you know, I was kind of
Speaker 1: bundles like, dang, it's only five episodes. It would have
Speaker 1: been I really enjoyed my time with you guys so much,
Speaker 1: and I was like, dang, it would have been cool
Speaker 1: to have had more time, but you know, thinking about it,
Speaker 1: to come in and have such a pivotal role and like,
Speaker 1: you know, stir things up and have people talking about
Speaker 1: it for so long is great too, you know.
Speaker 4: And to be so young and to own that role
Speaker 4: in that world. Looking back at it, it's like super impressive.
Speaker 4: I mean, you were always so cool and we all
Speaker 4: became friends, but looking at it with a new respect, now,
Speaker 4: oh my god. They craized to you for doing that, honestly,
Speaker 4: And I love the moments, like they really do try
Speaker 4: to integrate Emma into the friend group, and I can
Speaker 4: hear moments of like your real laugh and your real
Speaker 4: personality coming through, and I'm like, that's our girl, Like yeah,
Speaker 4: because we were all really friends and it was cool,
Speaker 4: I know. Yeah, we wish it had been longer too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know miss Jason's fault he left the show.
Speaker 1: Well that okay, So that is because because I heard
Speaker 1: I recently did another interview and they were asking me
Speaker 1: about it and I was like, I'm actually not sure.
Speaker 1: There was talk that Jason was going to be leaving
Speaker 1: the show, and I think that's why they had him
Speaker 1: do this, you know, to like shake things up and
Speaker 1: then have him leave face but I wasn't sure, like, oh,
Speaker 1: is that was that? Really? But didn't he come back?
Speaker 1: He came back though?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: No he left?
Speaker 2: Wait he never came back?
Speaker 3: Wait angels, don't tell her she isn't.
Speaker 1: After I was off the show, I kind of fell
Speaker 1: off it a little bit. I didn't watched the very
Speaker 1: very end.
Speaker 2: I have a watch I have.
Speaker 3: My character is so cool.
Speaker 4: They seem to be taking nine O two and zero
Speaker 4: now that we are rewatching it as adults into more
Speaker 4: of a nighttime soap, right genre, and in that vein
Speaker 4: like you would be like the Joan Collins kind of character. Right,
Speaker 4: they're lcklayer, So why it's interesting that they wouldn't, regardless
Speaker 4: of Brandon, have her stay or come back?
Speaker 3: Is we're good enough?
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting I think stay or come back at
Speaker 2: that point, probably no one would have accepted her or.
Speaker 1: Right, right? I mean, I you know, here's something and
Speaker 1: I wonder and I don't know for sure, but it
Speaker 1: was something that my second manager had told me that
Speaker 1: there was talk when I first got the part, when
Speaker 1: I first auditioned, I think they had mentioned, well, maybe
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it'll go on more than because it
Speaker 1: was initially five episodes, but you know, they always leave
Speaker 1: it open in case, you know. But I think my
Speaker 1: manager at the time he said no, no, no, no, We're
Speaker 1: just going to do the five episodes because his in
Speaker 1: his mind it was a dying show, which is so stupid.
Speaker 1: So he thought, no, there are like eight seasons in
Speaker 1: let's just do your five episodes and move on to
Speaker 1: something better.
Speaker 2: I thought, wrong, Like, I don't think, I thought, I
Speaker 2: don't think that bad advice, because no, you made such
Speaker 2: an impact with your character.
Speaker 1: I didn't know at the time that that was even
Speaker 1: on the table. You know. It's been nice to know
Speaker 1: because I might have said, Hey, I don't care, let's
Speaker 1: I mean, it's work, you know, and that's what we
Speaker 1: all want, especially when you're new to LA and yeah,
Speaker 1: but hey, you know, I'm happy with it, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm happy with the way it came out, and I'm
Speaker 1: happy that I did get my five episodes and that
Speaker 1: people still talk about it.
Speaker 4: It's so interesting watching it now. I can't picture Kelly
Speaker 4: and Emma as friends.
Speaker 3: No, I can.
Speaker 2: I can because I feel like I think Kelly's intrigued
Speaker 2: by her because she's so such a like brave woman
Speaker 2: and she's you know, she feels like an equal with
Speaker 2: her like I don't know, and she feels inspired by
Speaker 2: her writing.
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys could have broken her down. I think
Speaker 1: she had a little bit of an ego. You know,
Speaker 1: she was just kind of like, you know, like she
Speaker 1: gets what she wants.
Speaker 2: But you didn't act that way with Kelly. No, I
Speaker 2: mean the after act Emma didn't act that would Kelly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think well maybe because like I said, I think
Speaker 1: she has this very like double side to her. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like on one hand, she's like she's really sweet.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if that was I think that
Speaker 1: was all, you know, to get you know, to get
Speaker 1: even with Brandon for what he did because he slept
Speaker 1: with her, and oh how dearek he sleep with her
Speaker 1: when he has a girlfriend. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: Emma thought that there was actually gonna be something between them,
Speaker 1: and so the minute did we Yeah, so the minister
Speaker 1: that he had a girlfriend, it was like, oh, game on, okay,
Speaker 1: you want to play that guy?
Speaker 2: Watched the episode where you boil the watch.
Speaker 3: Now betal Attraction had already come out.
Speaker 4: Was there talk on set during that of like oh,
Speaker 4: this is like replicating the boiling the bunny.
Speaker 1: There might have been I don't even know, but I
Speaker 1: I watched that scene back and I think, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it's so say it's like the whole it's so so silly,
Speaker 1: you're stabbing at it. I threw it in and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh no, Kelly, He's like, I don't remember.
Speaker 3: I don't remember where it's from.
Speaker 1: I smashed that thing. It didn't just.
Speaker 3: It's like role ex bitch, just say you got it
Speaker 3: from there, Like it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Any can not know, Like you couldn't come up with
Speaker 2: anything on the spot about where he got from.
Speaker 3: So weird.
Speaker 1: Well, I know I was actually trying to you know,
Speaker 1: she was trying to put him on the spot. I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I mean I think, you know, maybe her
Speaker 1: and Kelly could have become friends at some point, but
Speaker 1: we'll never know, not after what she did. No, No,
Speaker 1: that's it's not very redeeming at all.
Speaker 3: We talked to us about wardrobe. Your wardrobe is fantastic.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. Yeah, you guys have had amazing hair,
Speaker 1: makeup wardrobe team. I mean wow, wow, for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you have input there or did you bring
Speaker 3: your own close work.
Speaker 1: No input, No, that was like here you go, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, she's a writer, so they had her you know, professional, and.
Speaker 3: I like her dresses, like when she goes to the
Speaker 3: after dark.
Speaker 2: I like that. The skirt length was not professional. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna just say what the skirt length with your little
Speaker 2: blazers not professional?
Speaker 3: Right, very nineties like professional.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I wish I had had input,
Speaker 1: but I you know, I feel like I liked everything
Speaker 1: they had me in.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, No, you definitely looked.
Speaker 1: Great gray, that great turtleneck that was that was good.
Speaker 1: And there was some green top. I like green, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, redheads. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But you went on to do General Hospital. Was that
Speaker 2: a much different vibe than our set?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I mean so General Hospital came a little
Speaker 1: later because after nine o two and zero, I did
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other like guest star roles and
Speaker 1: sci fi movies and all that, and then General Hospital
Speaker 1: came around. That was similar, bit different. You know, it's
Speaker 1: that's a real soap set and you're your deals are
Speaker 1: real fast. Yeah, it goes super fast, and you're you're
Speaker 1: shooting like a show a day and you're like, you know,
Speaker 1: going through forty pages of dialogue. You know, it's it's insane,
Speaker 1: it's nuts. It was definitely, but it was good because
Speaker 1: I feel like all that stuff before just kind of
Speaker 1: prepared me. I don't know if I could handle that
Speaker 1: much dialogue now because my brain could never.
Speaker 2: Now I had to, I had remember a few lines
Speaker 2: the other day. I could not do it, you guys,
Speaker 2: I'll ever be able to do it.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do we read? How did we do that?
Speaker 2: How did we know?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean my brain can't even think of it, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
Speaker 2: I'd remember what I had for dinner last night, Like
Speaker 2: I can't imagine what.
Speaker 3: Did you have for dinner?
Speaker 2: I remember you guys, Dave it was night and Dave Cookburger's,
Speaker 2: the whole family.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, but yeah, it took me a minute to remember.
Speaker 2: So that doesn't work. When you're on set and a
Speaker 2: character put you know, shoes they're rolling, You're like, wait,
Speaker 2: you got to get the Q cards out?
Speaker 1: One time on General Hospital that somehow I missed pulling
Speaker 1: a scene I missed, like when I was going.
Speaker 3: The night Oh my gosh, yes, from.
Speaker 1: The script right, and I somehow missed it and so
Speaker 1: we're we're filming, we're filming, and we're just about to
Speaker 1: go to lunch and they're like, okay, we're gonna block
Speaker 1: this scene. And I'm like, uh, I don't have this scene?
Speaker 1: What scene? And they're like pages. So it was a
Speaker 1: lot of pages too.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And it was a scene where like I had to cry,
Speaker 1: and it was like this whole emotional scene. So I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, guys, I you know, I got to
Speaker 1: spend my lunch working on it. So I did. I
Speaker 1: just buried myself into the you know, in the dressing room,
Speaker 1: and I worked on it for the whole lunch hour.
Speaker 1: And I came back and we nailed it. And then
Speaker 1: they looked at me like how the hell did you
Speaker 1: do that? And I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It used to be so easy.
Speaker 4: It's like a dream where you're naked in school. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, that's a nightmare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was terrifying. It was the one and only
Speaker 1: time it happened, though. I never I made sure after that.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I go through my
Speaker 1: script like five times just to make sure I got
Speaker 1: everything because that was so horrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it used to be so much easier though, Like you,
Speaker 2: I used to say, the reason I couldn't remember anything
Speaker 2: from like my earlier life was because my brain was
Speaker 2: so strong about learning lines, like learning lines on the
Speaker 2: day I did. There were times on Nineatuano when I
Speaker 2: never even did any prep the night before. I would
Speaker 2: just go in. I started to kind of enjoy it,
Speaker 2: like I wanted to just see what spot eight he
Speaker 2: would bring to a scene, not not having over rehearsed
Speaker 2: it in my own mind, right, And it got really fun.
Speaker 2: But that was like risky for sure, but it worked.
Speaker 2: I don't know, And now I'm like, I don't think
Speaker 2: I could do it at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I also think, like when you when you're
Speaker 1: so far, when you're so far into the show and
Speaker 1: you have the character down and you know, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it, I feel like that would be easier to
Speaker 1: kind of you know, maybe not even ad lib, but
Speaker 1: just kind of wing it a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: because and then the reactions everything's a little bit more authentic,
Speaker 1: I guess, And I guess I mean I would just
Speaker 1: kind of try to remember bullet points of the script,
Speaker 1: like you know that would lead into this line, this
Speaker 1: sight and you know, sometimes I would drop a line
Speaker 1: and forget and then get really mad, you know, like, shit,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say that line. That was a good line.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 4: We have like two minutes left with you, and I
Speaker 4: think there's so many questions I have for you, and
Speaker 4: I don't know which direction we give one.
Speaker 2: Give one.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I want to talk about your three kids.
Speaker 3: But is your oldest.
Speaker 1: Twenty He's going to be twenty one this year.
Speaker 3: Oh my oh gosh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, it's crazy. So twenty one, and
Speaker 1: then I have an almost nineteen year old next month,
Speaker 1: and then my daughter's fifteen. I know, I know. It's wild.
Speaker 1: The last home doing for the last twenty one years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've been a little busy, yes.
Speaker 1: And raising kids and you know, managing all that in life.
Speaker 1: And now that you know they're kind of grown and
Speaker 1: my daughter's fifteen, I'm like, oh wow, my gosh, I
Speaker 1: could maybe do something again.
Speaker 3: I can have a life again. It's all starting again.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, the best.
Speaker 1: It is great.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: So when we were working together, we became friends and
Speaker 4: we were all hanging out and on the show. At
Speaker 4: the time, the characters of Donna and Noah right started dating,
Speaker 4: right do you were called behind the scenes of me
Speaker 4: and Vince at the time, I don't know. So he
Speaker 4: and I started dating, but he didn't want anyone to
Speaker 4: know jenu Oh, okay, okay, but not really dating. I
Speaker 4: was young, I was impressionable.
Speaker 3: I was like nicest guy ever.
Speaker 4: And he and I have talked about it, you know,
Speaker 4: twenty years thirty years after, like and going back, like,
Speaker 4: oh we were so young and not thinking straight.
Speaker 3: But it was the type of thing.
Speaker 4: He came onto the show and I we had a
Speaker 4: connection and we started in my girl brain seeing each
Speaker 4: other in his boy newfound star brain. You know, he
Speaker 4: it was probably a different meaning and we got along
Speaker 4: really great. But I we ended up being like boyfriend
Speaker 4: girlfriend when the show ended. But it was a really
Speaker 4: hard thing I didn't really know about till like twenty
Speaker 4: five years later. That for him, he was like, this
Speaker 4: is my big break, this is her dad's the do
Speaker 4: you serve the show? Which as you knew me, and
Speaker 4: then like, that's not my brain at all, Like I didn't.
Speaker 4: I tried to disconnect from that to be my own person.
Speaker 4: So when I fell for him, you know, I didn't
Speaker 4: think like Okay, gosh, if this didn't go right, my
Speaker 4: dad would fire him, like it was never I didn't
Speaker 4: work like that or my dad.
Speaker 3: So yeah, any why did I bring this up? Now?
Speaker 3: I'm panicking, John.
Speaker 2: I help you.
Speaker 4: Because there's some thing that I feel like I threw
Speaker 4: him a birthday party at and I closed down an
Speaker 4: entire bar.
Speaker 3: Do you remember this at all?
Speaker 1: Do you remember?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, this is coming in real time, you guys.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Wait did she was I there?
Speaker 3: You were there?
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember it was at a bar.
Speaker 2: You were there? Angel? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I know I was there, but I vaguely remember, like
Speaker 1: who all was there?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't remember either. But it was the same thing
Speaker 3: that kind of happened a lot with.
Speaker 4: Us, that I would hear stories later that he was
Speaker 4: flirting with girls, and it's like in my head, I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, I'm kind of with him and it
Speaker 4: was hard. And I remember hearing that off set he
Speaker 4: had flirted with you, and I was like, oh, and
Speaker 4: that bummed me out on his part because I was like,
Speaker 4: she's my friend and like I really care about her,
Speaker 4: But you didn't know that there was anything I didn't
Speaker 4: know going on with us, So it was a hard
Speaker 4: thing at the time.
Speaker 3: Oh, actually, this feels good telling you this all these
Speaker 3: years later.
Speaker 4: It was hard for me because I really cared about you,
Speaker 4: but I didn't feel like I could tell you, like, hey,
Speaker 4: he's with me, because he wasn't really with me right
Speaker 4: right according to him at the time.
Speaker 1: I now feel like so bad because I know I
Speaker 1: get that time. I do remember at that party, I
Speaker 1: think I got. I think I had a few too
Speaker 1: many drinks and I think I was God, I want
Speaker 1: to say I was even Like did I dance on
Speaker 1: the table? I hope I did not.
Speaker 3: There is a dance involved. There was a dance involved.
Speaker 1: There was some dancing involved, but I.
Speaker 3: Do remember that's what I heard. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I do remember him being very flirty with me, and
Speaker 1: we had talked a bit, but I had no.
Speaker 4: Clue, no, and nothing ended up happening like it was fine,
Speaker 4: But it.
Speaker 1: Was like the thing is, though, had I had I
Speaker 1: known that you guys were even talking or dating, there's
Speaker 1: no way.
Speaker 3: I know that. Like your rat and always were and respectful.
Speaker 4: Then it was such a hard thing in my brain
Speaker 4: because I didn't feel worthy in that time in my life.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like looking back now, but it was today,
Speaker 4: i'd be like, hey, can I talk to you about
Speaker 4: something like I don't know what's going to happen with
Speaker 4: this relationship, but we have something and we're just not
Speaker 4: talking about it to people. But got in our twenties,
Speaker 4: like young twenties, it was hard.
Speaker 1: It was hard. It was very hard, but also like
Speaker 1: he should have known better, Like come on, guys were.
Speaker 2: Very flirty with everyone. Let's be real.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true, but it's true. But I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know, because I don't. I didn't feel like anybody
Speaker 1: else was actually dirty with me, you know, even Brian,
Speaker 1: who was super sweet day one. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: this picture you would think, like, what is that? Like
Speaker 1: this is first day on sex.
Speaker 2: Very certainly, very very friendly.
Speaker 1: I just thought, Okay, everybody's really cool, everybody's really fun.
Speaker 1: But it but it didn't, you know, it didn't feel
Speaker 1: like he was like trying to hit on me or
Speaker 1: anything like that. And gosh, now with Vincent, I'm like
Speaker 1: trying to think back, but my brain doesn't remember a
Speaker 1: whole lot from.
Speaker 2: Thirty years ago.
Speaker 1: No, I know, do vaguely remember that, and I do
Speaker 1: remember him being super flirty and that kind of like
Speaker 1: is very upsetting now because you know, like mussed up.
Speaker 2: That's in the past.
Speaker 4: It's so in the past, and it's not and it
Speaker 4: had nothing to do with you on your And also
Speaker 4: I don't blame him either. It's like, God, we were
Speaker 4: all young, it wasn't and hey, maybe I should blame myself.
Speaker 3: Because I should have said, hey, if you're going to
Speaker 3: kind of see me behind the scenes, like we'll.
Speaker 4: Also figure out what this is because women like we
Speaker 4: doesn't feel good.
Speaker 1: When it comes to early I mean, at least for
Speaker 1: me when when I'm in a relationship, especially if I
Speaker 1: like a guy like I, you know, like in my
Speaker 1: mind we're exclusive, we're dating, but them, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're just dating. Means a whole different thing, you know.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, we're seeing each other, but I'm seeing
Speaker 1: this person and I'm seeing this person.
Speaker 4: Right, And I didn't ask him, I didn't pinpoint things down.
Speaker 4: And that's on me. As a woman raising five kids
Speaker 4: and two strong females, I'm like, I'm so glad my
Speaker 4: my girls and kids are so different than how I
Speaker 4: was right and behaved that long ago. And the confidence
Speaker 4: is so amazing that I love it.
Speaker 1: But now that we're older and we have easier to
Speaker 1: talk about, now it's easier, like because now I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure now you would you would be like right away, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, just so you know, you know, we are
Speaker 1: kind of seeing each other. You know, you would have
Speaker 1: said something right off the bat, right, Well.
Speaker 4: I would hope then this day and time, I wouldn't
Speaker 4: have even gone there.
Speaker 3: To begin with. I'd be like, we get along, we
Speaker 3: have a lot in common.
Speaker 4: But hey, if you're not willing to tell other people
Speaker 4: and we're like hiding it, why are you hiding me?
Speaker 3: I don't deserve that.
