Some things I recall ,off the top of my head, from the interview
Louise's favorite role was Serena/ Josie on The Edge of Night
She had watched Ryan's Hope and wanted to be on it
Claire wanted to bring a bitch on to the show
Louise told her she wanted Rae to show no conscience and just go after what she wanted...freedom to not be evil or bad just driven
She was brought on to screw up Frank and Jill's story and then be gone
RH writer came up with the Rae has a daughter, Kim, story that kept her on the show
Louise shared a dressing room with Kelli
Louise thought Kelli had charisma and as long as Kelli styed on the show Louise would always have a job
She said Kelli was 17 or 18 ...guess she doesn't know about Kelli saying she was only 14 when she started on RH
Louise felt Michael Corbett and other men on the show didn't get enough appreciation
Michael was a smart actor and physically beautiful
Talks about when Rae slapped Kim. They rehearsed and was getting late and Kelli said to Louise "Just hit me"
Said good things about Helen Gallagher and how Helen always played the characters backstory
Other things
She called taking the role of Stephanie on Search For Tomorrow as the mistake of a lifetime but she needed the job and the money ... and with a character and actress as popular as Stephanie and Maree there should have been more time between when she left and the role was recast
She was terrified of Mary Stuart during her first run on SFT...second time she and Mary had more in common including writing
When Louise was there she felt Lisa Peluso was ready to move on
Had fun playing Goldie on All My Children
She hated writing for daytime
She her favorite soap characters to write for were Kathryn Hays and Martha Byrne on As the World Turns
Said James Mitchell (Where the Heart Is) was amazing and he gave her some help for one of her books
She's take the right acting role if offered today
