Ask Kassie

May 2004

1.) )Hi Kassie!
I love this part of your website! It's so nice of you to talk with your fans. I read in an interview that you did that Trevor and Dan really get you laughing on the set. Can you share with us some of the silly things they do that tickle your funny bone? Todd and Kevin's scenes together are always so good. You can tell that Trevor and Dan like working together.So glad to hear that Todd and Blair are on the road to recovery...the reunion scenes will be well worth the wait!

Keep up the great work... you're the best!

Cheryl

Kassie:  They are always making each other laugh...which makes me laugh. They cut up and have a good time.

 

2.) Hey Kassie,
In the past, you reported that you would be singing on One Life to Live. Is the singing still a go? Hopefully your singing will be a regular occurence on the show. Being a T&Ber, I would love to see Todd buy Rodi's, and have Blair sing there part-time. Any idea on when and how frequently you will sing on the show?

Ciao for now,
Lucy

Kassie: I do plan on singing...they are just waiting for the right moment...and the right song.

 

3.) Hey Kassie,
Even though I'm very disappointed that you and Trevor did not receive Emmy nominations, I can't wait to see you guys presenting at the Daytime Emmys, and representing One Life to Live. Did the Emmy Council ask you and Trevor to present?

Ciao for now,
Lucy

Kassie: I think our EP, Frank Valentini asked us. It was fun to play dress up that night.

 

4.) Hi Kassie,
It seems to me that Trevor and Tuc have the funniest lines of anyone on OLTL and I was just wondering if the writers give them these lines or if they make them up themselves. I don't know how you keep a straight face working with the two of them because they crack me up constantly.

Take care,
Cathy

Kassie: Tuc is written very well and he adds things he and there. But Tuc's delivery is priceless.

 

5.) Hi Kassie,
I'm so excited about getting your new CD in Nashville. What is your favorite song on the new CD, and why?

Angela

Kassie: You know it is an incomplete CD. But as is I like "A Dream Wants to Fly" I don't know...I just like it.

 

6.)You have such beautiful hair Kassie. What products do you use and how do you style it? Will you ever grow your hair really long again like it was about four years ago?

Laurel

Kassie: I'm growing it as fast as I can., I don't think it grows as fast as it used to. I use Joline Bleach to streak my hair and all kinds of drug store shampoos and conditioners. I change and swap everyday to keep the built up off my hair. But I always condition.

 

7.) Dear Kassie,
I was on your website today, and saw a few pictures of you and Trevor St John & Robin Strasser on the set. And I was wondering if you could post some pictures of you and Kristen Alderson, (Starr) either working or hanging out on the set? If you cannot do not worry about it.

Thankes
Jacki

Kassie: I'll see if I can get some photos of Kristin.

 

8. Kassie I really want you to get back with Todd. He is so hot and you are really lucky to play with him on the show. I love your acting. Never leave the show. One more thing, could you please tell me where your're going to be at in Nashville so Ican see you.

Love, Mandi and Felicia

Kassie: I'll be at the convention center signing all day Friday, Sat., and Sun.


9.) Will The Scarecrow Ever Get A Brain?

Count ME as one of the many Blair Fans who thought BLEVIN was
disgusting and incomprehensible. Thought that this putrid union did nothing but horrible damage to Blair while propping Kevin up some Sex God, Catnip to the Cramer Women.

Are we ever going to see a storyline that deals with Blair and her
issues rather than using her as some ooey gooey bimbo propping the latest dud of a stud du jour?

Is it trully written in stone that Blair must drop her panties for some loser everytime she's in a snit with Todd?

Will we ever see Blair independently running her own business rather than working UNDER some man who can hire and fire her at will, like Todd and now, God help us all, KEVIN?!

OLTL now has lured the incomparable Heather Tom (ex-Victoria Newman) from Y&R. Will Kelly and Blair's relationship (strained to the breaking point with the death of Brendan and the aftermath) ever be honestly dealt with or swept under the rug of some juvenile rivalry over a worthless pig like Kevin?

Weill Blair ever wake up and realize how she was used and abused by Kevin and exact revenge? After all the man went out of his way to break up her marriage so that he could use her as a booty call to punish his unfaithful wife and rub Todd's nose in it. He pretty much zipped up his pants and left her twisting in the wind.

Blair used to be a sharp, savvy character who wanted power and respect and was pretty ruthless about going after it. Pardon me, but to paraphrase you, Blair has not only been beaten with the stupid stick, she has slid down the stupid tree, hitting every branch on the way since she was paired with Patrick Thornhart.

I don't have any problems with Blair being at odds with Todd over
anything, but I do have a problem when the ends don't serve Blair at all but simply prop up some idiot as Todd's rival.

I'm tired of Blair only showing her bitchbone with Todd, while
worshipping at the altar of every faux hero in a white plastic hat
that the show shoves at us.

Thank you for letting me vent,

Michelle

Kassie: Well, OKAY.


10.) I have watched OLTL off and on for about 20 years. I have really enjoyed your performances as Blair. You and Roger Howarth and now Trevor St John have created such fantastic chemistry for Todd and Blair. I am yet another fan rooting for a T & B return.

My question... Your character has faced tremendous losses over the years (the "death" of Jack, the recent rape/brain tumor storyline - for examples). During those crises, your acting is incredible. Is it difficult for you to portray that raw emotion in so many scenes? How do you deal with it?

Oh, and how did those miracle doctors manage to do that "Non-hairstyle disruptive" brain surgery?

JDD

Kassie: It's amazing how fast and fabulous Blair bounced back huh? Blair indeed wears me out. But I love my job.

 

11.)Dear Kassie,
Do you ever hear from the old Blair and Tina that used to play on One Life to Live?

Johnny


Kassie: No

 

12.) Kassie, Do you think Kelly and Blair will stop feuding?

Johnny

Kassie: Never...too much history.

 

13.)Dear Kassie,
Do you think that a Todd/ Blair reunion will make Dorian/ Blair have problems? I mean Dorian made Todd make a pact to stay far away from Blair.Do you think that if Todd and Blair reunite that Blair will distance herself from the Cramer women?

Tricia

Kassie: Dorian will just have to deal with it. She's with that idiot David...and she complains about Todd.

14.) Super Soap Weekend
Hi Kassie,

I saw you briefly at the 2001 Soap Weekend in Orlando. Will you be attending the Super Soap Weekend in 2004? My son (who is 22 and a big fan of yours) and I are planning on attending the next Super Soap Weekend. Do you know the dates yet? We really enjoy watching you on OLTL and miss James (Max) alot.

Good luck
Pam

Kassie: I don't know the dates or if I will be attending.

 

15.) Dear Kassie,
I was just wondering, I know Trevor and Roger are both great actors but when "Todd" gets angry did you fear either of them. Basically I'm asking who plays being angry more realistically?

Kevin from Brooklyn

Kassie: I think they are both powerful actors that can pull off anger and romance.

 

16. DO YOU LOVE TODD. HE CUTE IN REALL LIFE AND I WANT TO GO OUT WITH HIM

Kassie: Too bad but he is married.


17. Kassie,
Were you scared for the kidnappers having Star? How is your reaction. Do you thinkyp u will get back with Todd. How do you like travis.


Kassie: Travis is a good boy..and Starr will be okay.


17. Kassie,
What is your favorite meal to cook?
tonya.

Kassie: It all depends on what I'm in the mood to eat and how much time I have to prepare.
