WEBVTT - The Melrose Minute - Total Drama!

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Still the Place with Laura Layton, Courtney Thorne Smith.

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 2>And Daphne's Aniga an iHeartRadio podcast.

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Good Night Later, another Melrose minute. So you guys at

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>home don't know this, but we have one of our writers,

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Pratt, coming up as a guest. And one of

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the things he mentioned when we talked to him is

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that when Heather started on the show, she didn't want

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to play a bit because she'd been doing that on Dynasty.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>So they had to sort of rewrite it to make

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a Manda nice obviously in the beginning.

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 3>So what we know now just for a very brief

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 3>time at least can be nice for a second.

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I think you called it a switch and bait or something. Yeah,

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>They're like, okay, you're not a bitch, You're just switch.

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>So she starts off really nice and as we know,

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>So I wanted to ask you, guys, how you felt

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>about your character in Melroe's Place and how you changed

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>or other shows, Like did you start a show as

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>something and then as the show went on you became

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>a completely different character? I do.

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 3>I think I have a lot to say on the

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>subject because I came in, like, you know, kind of

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 3>not knowing that it was a long term character anyway,

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 3>but I also was super focused on like the youth

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 3>of her whatever. And then there was a big long

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 3>stretch of time that I wasn't on the show, like

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>the well, the rest of season one, and then I

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 3>came back in season two and had to like pick

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 3>up there and and kind of you know, discover what

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 3>these new storylines were. And it was she came in

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>as the problem in her sister and Michael's marriage, right,

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Sydney came in as the affair and like just sort

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 3>of mischievous, troublemaker person. But in the second season, in

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 3>the second season, but over time, like there there it

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 3>was hard for me to like maintain, wait a minute,

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 3>how old is she? And like what how sophisticated is she?

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 3>And is like then she started doing all these like

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 3>the blackmailing and the d and the canniving and just

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>the evolution of that and trying to trying to say,

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 3>how do you find like that same person in there,

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.559
<v Speaker 3>like that consistent thread and that same person and figure, Okay,

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 3>if she's what nineteen years old, eighteen nineteen, how does

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 3>that kind of person like age and develop and like

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 3>we're watching this on camera like over these three four seasons,

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 3>and that was sort of always in my mind, like

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>is this even making sense? Is this even tracking? And

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 3>like I felt like I had to find just a

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 3>couple things to latch onto to make it always make sense.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 3>And those things were like Sidney always felt not enough,

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 3>not she felt less than her sister. That that was

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.839
<v Speaker 3>like her easiest competition to go, oh, I just want

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 3>to be like her or better than her something, you know,

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 3>like that jealousy thread was consistent, you know, sort of

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 3>drove a lot of her actions. But even when it

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>got to be like insanity, I'm like, wait, can I

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 3>still justify this? Like is this still tracking?

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes? And it was still the same character.

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>It was hard. It was hard to keep that thread.

0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>And then I do think that after a while, you

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 3>just go, Okay, I'm just going to do.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>My best Hereio, I'm just going to do script by yeah,

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>my own reality right now.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 3>This is just where we're at. And plus we're in

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.519
<v Speaker 3>double up, so I really have no idea.

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they asked us. One of the fan questions was

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>did we ever push back? We couldn't, right, No.

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 2>There didn't There was never. Yeah, I was saying we

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't ever have time. I never, you know, thought I

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>thought there were so many writers and so many people

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>the studio and everyone that I didn't think I would

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 2>have a say. Well, it wasn't welcomed at all. It

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like an invitation. No one ever says to you

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>on a show an ensemble, hey, if you have any ideas,

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>let us know with ten people never had.

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that Chuck will say when you

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>guys hear that episode is that he's never had a

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>show with faster turnaround. Yeah, like they were, Yeah.

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Thirty time scripts a year.

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>It was so fast they didn't have time. So if

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>we pull that thread and say I don't want this

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to happen, that might affect the next ten episodes, right, yeah, right.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>And it was also as the show goes on, like

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I started with Allison, Midwest kid trying to do well,

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and then I have an affair with the married man,

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm drunk, and then I'm on, then i'm

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I won't leave the apartment when it's

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>blowing up.

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 2>All this stuff.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>But it was also fun, right, you don't want to

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>play nice girl from the Midwest for five seasons. Like

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>part of it was oh no, I have to do that.

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>And it was like, all right, let's try it. Like

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was great. It was almost like an

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>acting class because you just had to do it. There

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>was no time. You didn't have to debate and think,

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's not like you're reading a play and you're like,

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>this is my characters through line. It's like, all right,

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>I had to do so many things that terrified me

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>on that show.

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Did you have to do that as in TV? Because

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 2>there's no end to it. You don't know if it's

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>going to end in a couple episodes at the end

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>of the season or keep going. So the writers, you know,

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 2>when you say like a Midwest girl or how we

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 2>all came into something, that's who you were when it started,

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and then adventure happens, and then life happens, and then

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Mal's this crazy apartment building that you're in and then

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>it just happens and you have to, you know, make

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>it work. It doesn't all have to make sense. Especially

0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 2>on Malos's place. You heard chah it around bottles of wine,

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 2>coming up with whatever we could come up with they're

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>not going well.

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Or Midwest Girl.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but like you're trying as an actor to say

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 3>you just wanted to stay on some sort of rail.

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>You want to ground it for yourself. You want because

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>because here's the thing, as crazy as it was, you're

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to find some element of truth. Otherwise it doesn't

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.479
<v Speaker 1>make any sense. So you're trying, especially if it's a

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>serious like I had a couple of serious storylines and

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, like I was trying to and

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>it was you can't. If it's something that's a serious storyline,

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't laugh at it, right. So it's not like, oh,

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>this is light. It's like this is real and I

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>have to bring this some gravitas even though it's so

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>we did hold in such a ridiculous way.

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I always played for the drama. That's the

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 2>thing is. I kept hearing back then, you know how

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Chuck said they didn't like the word soap, And I

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>remember I never thought it was a soap. I didn't

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 2>know what people were talking about.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I would do.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Interviews for magazine and go, this is not so Not

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>that I thought I was too good to do so,

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just saying I had never thought about it

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>as that, and I always played it for the drama.

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 2>And I think as I look back, and I see

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 2>how Joe really had so much drama put upon her

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>and put upon her. I think, you know when a

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>writer and actor that's a symbiotic relationship. They pick up on

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 2>what they're seeing when you play the scenes, right, and

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>so they're writing to that, and then you're picking up

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 2>on what you're reading and you're going, oh, I can

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 2>bring this, and I think it kind of like morphs

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>into a thing together.

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, but you started, so Joe starts she was married

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to this wealthy man in an abusive relationship. She comes

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>here to start over. She starts relationship with Jake. So

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 1>that's sort of what we know about her coming in.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>And then what's the craziest leap you had to make

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>as an actor for Joe? Do you remember the craziest leap?

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'll answer the first question that you actually

0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 2>initiated the beginning of this, which was she was strong

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.039
<v Speaker 2>when she started, right, and then she became so weak.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I got so tired of all of the victimization that

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 2>they did of Joe, and I remember fans saying this

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 2>during it, and since you know, like God, she was

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>so tough, she was this tough girl. What happened and

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, that's a good question. Maybe I should have

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>said something, because I did get tired of that. You know,

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>they're literally I know you guys didn't watch a lot.

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're all working on twelve hour days. But

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I had like so many different men take advantage and

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>put her in a bad situation and you know, all

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. What was the worst one, Well, the most

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 2>extreme was, you know, she falls into this thing with

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Reid who's like a drug running a drug runner with

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>that boat, and I ended up like blowing him away

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>after he like kidnaps me and kicks me down.

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 3>And super violent.

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 2>It was so violent. Yeah, but I just Daphne as

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 2>an actor, like love the direction, you know, like bunding

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>him and trying to get out and looking like wow.

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>But it doesn't mean I want to just be like

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 2>beat up all the time or like you know what

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean. And I love the payoff of blowing him

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>away off that boat and he goes flying over and

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>but so that was very far fetched. But I guess

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying is that is a way that I

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 2>wish that my character hadn't gone so far in that

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>directed to be such a victim. I wish that she

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>would have been stronger. I would look at you guys

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and say like, well, not so much Sydney. But I

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>would look at like Alison and and Amanda.

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>They have these.

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Strong scenes back and forth. You know, she's running a company,

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 2>she's like standing up to her and I would just

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>go like that would be so cool.

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's so funny. But you loved like the the

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 3>gun toting version of Joe of like being able to

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 3>stand up for yourself and doing that. It's like, I

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 3>hate that stuff. I would like the comedy like I

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 3>want to and they wrote it to me and I

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 3>but I also like, like what you say, like when

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 3>you have to have a scene that's real, like when

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 3>you have to have a scene like like no, she's

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 3>got real feelings under there, Like she like that Sidney

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 3>tended towards the like goofy or like you know, the

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 3>all the goofy stuff that she did, but also like

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 3>there were those opportunities to tell like a heartfelt story

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 3>that you had to have her actually be a real

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 3>person and be real. I liked those things, but he

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 3>did not like the things like you're talking about like

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 3>actiony stuff and I hate it's so interesting how people

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 3>like just sort of are drawn towards other you know,

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 3>different things. And and but like you said you had

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 3>to take Alison to the place you said things were scary.

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Was it the times when you were really being vulnerable?

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And it was a mixed bag, Like I keep thinking

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>about when Alison was an alcoholic, and it was so

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.079
<v Speaker 1>much fun for me to play because Alison finally got

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to do all the stuff she'd never done because she

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>was so so she was like that sort of out there, angry,

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>ballsy saying I remember, I remember one time she pulled

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the tablecloth out from the dinner, right. That was really fun.

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>But I was a sober alcoholic at the time, right,

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Like we've tried. I turned a year sober my first

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Dan Melrose play. So for me, it's like I wanted

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to treat it with with how it would be authentically

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>and I'm doing this soaproper version of it. So it

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>was fun to play, but I also had this awareness

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of oh, it's like I wanted to get into the

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>truth of it. And there was some of that too,

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>like they remember do you remember like she hit the

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>kid on the bike? Oh, I mean that was like

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that was a moment of this is the stuff that

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>can happen, Right, that was the real gravitas, but so fun,

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to treat it with seriousness, so I

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a it's it's interesting, like you were saying,

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>like you love the punching, hitting, but you didn't like

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>her being a victim. So it's interesting as we're going

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>through it, Like some of the most fun things to

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>play are the hardest to play, like when when Alison

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is high and you lose custody of your child, like

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.559
<v Speaker 1>that was an exciting scene to play, and how awful

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 1>and how challenging and how difficult. So sometimes it's both, right,

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>like the hardest end up being the most most challenging. Right,

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.439
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting, and most challenging are also usually the hardest.

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>It's so so as we wrap this up, it's gonna

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 2>be so fun to have Chuck in here. I mean,

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 2>he was the longest writer and executive producer on the show,

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>and he did come from a decade of writing soap operas.

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 3>He's written so.

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Great so he thinks like that and like how the

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 2>what's that thing? How the soup is made? He was

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>in the room, you know, like I can't maybe there's

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>you never know, it's coming up next.

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he will have him back to you because

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>a man to see him.

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 2>He has a lot of many stories.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling it was like a ten percent

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>of his stories you told today.

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's so many more I.

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Know, and that's that's going to come up soon. But yeah,

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 3>we've we've been having so much fun lately. It was

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:44.439
<v Speaker 3>so great to have Heather in.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so great to have Heather.

<v Speaker 2>We're going to do recap next.

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:49.520
