Julie Pinson's Soapnet Chat Transcript

(Friday Feb. 25, 2005)

 


Anna

Thank you for your great preformances. LOL I want to slap you at times though for what you are doing. It looks like you are enjoying this roll. Is it fun playing Billie Holiday Reed?

Julie Pinson:
Lol. I'm having a great time, it's fantastic.


jenny

i know it must have been hard on you when pc was cancelled....what's your fondest memeory from that show?

Julie Pinson:
Working with Jon Lindstrom and Kin Shriner and what they taught me.


Julie Pinson:
One more thing for the girl who wanted to slap me: If you didn't want to slap me at times, I wouldn't be doing justice to the character!


Desi

I was a huge Chris and Eve fan when you were on Port Charles and so felt that Eve died long before her storyline was over. I think you're doing an awesome job on Days as Billie and was so glad to see you back. In your opinion, what is the most challenging part of being in the daytime world?

Julie Pinson:
I think the most challenging part is taking the stories that the writers come up with and making them work because sometimes the stories are really out there and we have to make the audience believe that it's really happening.


Holly

Hey Julie.. I remember reading once that you collect dolls. Do you still?

Julie Pinson:
Yes, absolutely. I collect Barbies! I haven't bought any new ones in a couple of years. I got to the point where I thought I had enough. I just got a new Barbie catalogue so I might look at it after the chat!


BoluvsFancyFace

All the smiles and smirks that you do behind Hope's back, is that a touch that you add on your own or are you directed to do so?

Julie Pinson:
I add it on my own. Do you hate it or love it? You have to bring something of your own to the character and the history that I understand Hope and Billie have warrant the smirks.


Holland

Loved your scenes with Bryan Dattilo (Lucas). Great brother and sister chemisty. Will there be more of that in the future?

Julie Pinson:
I hope so! I haven't seen any scripts yet within the next few weeks where we're together but I love hanging out with Bryan.


Kallie

Hi Julie! I admire your acting on the show and loved you on PC as well. Who are your personal heros?

Julie Pinson:
That's a good question. Well, I'd say one of my personal heroes is my best friend Sherry who has managed to raise her daughter (my goddaughter) by herself and hold a full time job. Single parents are amazing to me. My parents, as well.


Penny

Do you still keep in touch with any of your Port Charles costars?

Julie Pinson:
Jon Linstrom is one of my best friends. Ion Overman and I still talk.


Connie Boaz

I love your hair. Can you give me some details on the type of cut it is and what you do to get it to look so great? i.e., products, styling etc.

Thank you

Julie Pinson:
It's pretty much a razor cut. I use BedHead products - the Movie Star line. I also use KMS Configur and then I turn my head upside down and blow it dry.

Has it been hard playing Billlie and trying to come between Bo and Hope?

Julie Pinson:
No, it's not hard because Billie has a reason for everything that she does. At this point, she's not trying to come between Bo and Hope on purpose. She's really not. You may snicker, but she really isn't. lol.


Oahu girl

Julie, do you think that it would be a better story for Billie to get over Bo and become a mother to Georgia? I know you are new to the show, but for long time viewers, this Billie coming between Bope story is old. It's unbelievable that after 16 years we are led to believe Billie has not moved on. Billie is better than that. I think Bope belong together. Billie needs a new man, and a new story. Do you agree?

Julie Pinson:
I think that Billie deserves a chance at true love. And I'll leave it up to the writers to tell me who they think that is.
