INTERVIEW: ATWT's Cady McClain (Rosanna)"Everyone has taken cuts. EVERYONE. I think daytime dramas will be around as long as we want them to be. I think the audience needs to be very vocal now about their desire to keep a show on the air because networks, as far as I can tell, are listening. I also think the ratings are far better than a lot of people are giving them credit for.
"I think what is more important is the effort that is being made to keep the show on the air. There is a strong and loyal audience and they need to be seen and heard. These shows serve a vital community function, in that, at their best, they portray current social issues and the emotional sides to those issues."

"Unacceptable Child Abuse" on ALL MY CHILDREN"I recently had the misfortune to observe some very bad psychological child abuse that I was powerless to stop. Calling the police would have done no good because the abuse was on a television show, the July 23rd episode of ABC's ALL MY CHILDREN. Several adults were ganging up on a little girl, Emma Lavery, trying to get her to stop saying she had seen one of them, Kendall Slater, kill someone by mistake. Worse than that they were attempting to coerce her into saying that she had seen her mother, Annie, commit the murder instead. One would talk to the girl than leave so another could continue the ordeal. By the end of the ordeal the poor little girl was catatonic."
INTERVIEW: GL's Tina Sloan (Lillian)"My best memory was OJ Simpson coming up to me, this was years before all his troubles, twenty-five years ago. It was a show of Andy Warhol paintings, and Andy was there and the space where the show was at belonged to my husband’s college roommate and I walked in and I was very scared and we were just dating and my husband - well boyfriend at the time - seemed so sophisticated to me so I walked in to this gallery, everything stopped because Andy Warhol saw me and said, ‘I just love your character.’ Well I was just beside myself; that was so exciting. My husband married me six months later. I remember OJ was at the gallery and there were pictures of OJ and I remember this vividly that Andy and OJ were talking and Andy stopped talking to him and came over to me the moment I walked in the room; it was incredible. That was a great moment."
INTERVIEW: GL's Beth Chamberlin (Beth)
"Tina Sloan (Lillian) basically taught me so many things on-screen and in life. She was instrumental in me marrying my husband. When Peter and I met he was in upstate New York and I was in California and we had been dating five months long distance and we met one time in the city and had dinner at Tina's place there. When I went to the bathroom she looked at Peter and said, 'You love her don't you?' And he said 'Yes,' and she replied, 'Ask her to marry you soon or you'll lose her.' Peter went back home, closed his practice and moved to L.A. and asked me to marry him and I said yes. That was over fifteen years ago."
