Interviews!

I found a couple of interviews on YouTube, one with Freddie Smith (Sonny) from the Daytime Emmys this past Sunday:

And another from the same day with Wally Kurth (Justin -- Sonny's father) talking about his "new daytime son":

Okay, so could Freddie be more adorable? He's very well spoken, which is always attractive. And his face isn't bad either. ;)

I love Wally Kurth. I loved him as Justin back in the day, and also on GH in the '90s. Have Justin and Adrienne been together all this time? They did recast Justin? I'm sure Judi's been on other shows too. Maybe they left town together and came back? I guess I should go wiki it, shouldn't I?

And Wally totally hit on the fact that Sonny isn't just a throwaway character with no connections -- as Justin and Adrienne's son, he's important, and hopefully fans will embrace him and Will.

Thanks for posting these!

I'm not sure where Justin and Adrienne were supposed to be, or what their story is exactly, but I know they just got remarried pretty recently. Also, they were BOTH on ATWT within the last few years. Wally was the guy Parker killed because (IIRC) he was attacking Carly, and there was a whole thing with him being tried for murder. Judi was part of the crazy couple who kept Holden from going immediately home when he "died" in a car crash a couple of summers ago.

OMG I totally forgot Wally was the guy Parker shot! Such a small soap world. And yes, Judi was totally that chick who befriended Holden. She's lost a ton of weight since then, y/n? I remember when she came on ATWT thinking she'd be around for a while since she wasn't some unknown actress, but then again Robin Mattson (Santa Barbara) played Noah's mom and they killed her really quickly. I guess name soap actors are just more willing to take small arcs these days out of necessity.

Yeah, that's probably true, with fewer and fewer soaps on the air. Also, it's possible that the chemistry they were looking for just wasn't there, so they changed their plans or something. I mean, it always fascinated me how Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans had CRAZY chemistry as Patch and Kayla on Days, and NONE AT ALL as Stefan Cassadine and Katherine Bell on GH.

Yes, they were so BLAH on GH! Funny how important characters are to chemistry, as well as actors.
