Let me start by saying that I feel really luck to've worked on three ABC soaps. Each place was very different in atmosphere, but for some reason, I really feel at home on GH. I think it has a lot to do with the storyline and having a lot to do here. It really makes me feel like I have a home here. I enjoyed my time at OLTL. It seemed really short to me, but I really like who I worked with. I really enjoy where I am now.

That's kind of a hard question to answer. I find that the easiest way to start to answer this question is first of all, you have to study - go to school, and basically learn the technique of acting. You rely on it so much, because things go so quickly and you really have to know what you're doing. So #1: go to school and learn your craft. Then you have to get an agent. For that, you should be in LA or NYC. There's really no other way. I started in NYC. You really have to be ready to pound the pavements, be dedicated, and be passionate. If you aren't passionate to the degree you should, then you might want to stay away. You have to be dedicated and be prepared for the downtime. There's a lot of competition, and you have to have a good sense of self and good self esteem to perservere.

Do you wish AJ and Skye were not related? Most people think they have more chemistry together than with the people the show is trying to pair them with. Also Skye and Ned would be hot. Any chance Skye is not a Quartermaine?

Billy and I joke about this at least once a week. We have a great energy between us and a great give and take in the scenes. I really feel that Skye has so much in her corner with him. I think it's really powerful for them to have each other so long as they don't influence each other too much in a bad way. As for Skye and Ned, it's so much fun and I wish they wrote more scenes for us. I love snarling at him as I think he does at me as well.

First off, if you're reading this, I just want to say I'm a huge fan!! You are so very talented!! "Skye" is the reason I started watching GH...I just had to find out if she was Alan's daughter!! :)
Ok, here's my question: What is your favorite part about working on GH?? And one more: are the rumors that you're getting your own primetime show true?? (I'd REALLY miss you on GH!!)
Once again, I absolutely love watching you on GH!!

I'd say my favorite part of working at GH is having such a full family life. Skye has never had such support and people around her willing to accept her. And with that, I really love Stuart Damon and Billy and John Ingle. I felt like I fit in right away, and that's such a good feeling. Also, I really like being in LA too, so it's great the way that works out. I'd have to say that knowing you when come to work you enjoy the people so much and know that you work well together - it's a really gratifying feeling.

Will we ever see some mother-daughter bonding between Rae and Skye? You and Linda are brilliant in your scenes together!

I really hope that Linda could come out and spend some time here on GH. First of all, I love Linda Dano. I feel like I've known her forever. I feel like we're going to keep following each other in our lives - which is a great feeling. I think it would be wonderful for both of our characters to have that relationship evolve and bring out other facets of our characters. Because I think with mother and daughter relationships, things come out that wouldn't be there with Skye and Alan's scenes. So I really hope that happens.

First of all, I admire your taste in hair color!
As far as Skye and Jax being paired up, I think that they're probably gonna play with the push and pull with the differences in our characters. I think they're really gonna play that up and drag it out for a while. In a sense, they're good for each other and not good for each other. Which is a lot like really life in many instances. I think that it's good because he has a real, flawed person to deal with, which makes it interesting. And we have fun together, so I hope that they continue the story.

I did not get to see you on AMC as Skye the first time but I have been enjoying your performance and the character since you have returned to OLTL. I am glad they are keeping her edgy and getting in trouble every now and then with the best of intentions. I am also enjoying the pairing of Skye with Jax. I see a lot of possibilities for the two characters and am also glad that the writers are giving you a lot of comedy to play. It has been a lot of fun to watch. I don't have any character or show question but one question I have for you is what kind of Yoga do you and Matt practice as there are so many and also how long have you been doing it? What difference has it made in your life?
Ok, a second question just came to me. Do you have photographic memory in regards to learning lines or may I ask how do you go about learning your lines for each show.
Enjoy LA, I lived there for 20 years.
Take care,

I do these video tapes, but I don't follow one certain kind of yoga. I actually don't even go to yoga class. We have yoga tapes at home that we do. I've been doing it for over four years, and it's just something that I happened to pick up. It's so easy to do. One of the tapes that I love, the best tape if you ever wanna start doing it, is Ali McGraw's "Yoga, Mind, and Body." It's a great starting tape. Lot's of stretching and strength building moves. I recommend it highly to anybody. Sometimes I have lot of nervious energy that I need to rein in, and yoga really works for me.

I met you on the Sony lot a long time ago when you weren't on AMC any more and told you I hoped they brought back Sky because you're my favorite character. You said you hoped they did to. Wishes do come true.
My question to you is, which does Sky prefer, being a Chandler or Quartermain? I'm thrilled you're back.

Skye prefers being a Quartermaine in that she really has a large family to interact with. And I think there's a real connection with Skye and her father, Alan. She really feels that this is where she comes from and she and her father really understand each other on a deeper level that I think Skye and Adam never clicked or connected on.

First of all, the GH schedule is very actor-friendly. You usually don't spend the entire day here because we arrive, we go straight to hair and makeup, and then to the set to rehearse and shoot our scenes. It's very different from any show that I've worked on, and it's a dream. Right now, I'd say I'm averaging four days a week, but it doesn't feel like work because you're not here all day. It's great because I still get to have breakfast and dinner with my husband and get my nine hours of sleep! It's really a dream.

I would really like to know what is coming up. Does the new doctor have anything to do with Skye. Is Jerry jax coming to GH in order to split skye and Jax up and end up falling for her. Is Rae and Skye going to take on Edward and Monica.

I'm one of those actors that pretty much stays out of the producer's office and doesn't really wanna know too far ahead what I'm doing. I do know that they're gonna continue the whole Jax/Courtney/AJ/Skye storyline, which could be interesting with all of the different aspects of each charactrer. It's funny, when I snese a new story line coming up, I get all excited and want to know in what direction that they're going. I really don't think that they like the actors to know too much where they're going, which is OK with me.

Actaully, no. I'm always happy to see my old friends from those shows, though. Now, especially being so far away... I've never been good at maintaining long distance relationships, but I do think of them all fondly. And at events and parties, it's always a pleasure to see them!

Working with Ingo is really fun. We really enjoy each other and really seem to have developed a real good rapport and trust of each other in our scenes. It's very funny: somebody said the other day that the two people the most unlike their characters are Skye and Jax.

Robin,
I just want you to know that I am a huge fan of your work. I watched you on AW and of course on all the ABC shows. I thought it was great to see you move to GH, although I loved you on OLTL. One thing I think would be fantastic for GH is if they would bring Jane Eliott back as Tracy. Skye and Tracy would be a hoot together, especially when battling the family. Keep up the great work!

I'm a huge fan of Jane and grew up watching her and loving her. I think it would be great if she came back. Either we would be in cahootz with each other or at each other's throats. It would be great to have another dynamic female in the household. Tracy is a legend!

Thanks so much for all of your questions and comments. I'm really thrilled that you enjoy the character so much and was quite surprised by all of the questions that there were. It's great to know that what I do everyday is enjoyed by you all so much. P.S. Ingo just dropped in to kiss me hello and say "Hi!" He also let me know that I'm one of his favorite women in the whole world. And he says "Hi!" to you all as well.
