“The New Kid on the Block”
Being the new kid in school is never easy, particularly when half the people in the school might take an instant disliking to you because of the girl you’ve taken a liking to. These are the issues that faced Marissa Skell when she took on her S3 role, but she needn’t have worried. Having been welcomed into the ABM family by the crew and fans alike, we thought it was time to get to know ABM’s newest star.
“Here’s Johnny!”
Before Breck makes his long hoped for return to our screens, I chatted with Johnny Yoder about what he’s been up to in-between seasons. Having kept himself busy with a West Coast move this ABMer has managed to stay up-to-date with the goings on in Westchester and shares with us his opinions on what’s happened and his hopes for this season.
“The Bubble Maker”
When you’re as passionate about your work as ABM producer P.J. Palmer is it makes the mammoth task of possibly being everything to everyone on set that much easier. The native West Coaster amongst a cast and crew of seasoned NYers, it is his love for ABM and appreciation of the fans which enables him to be the very best at what he does, and it shows.
“A Touch of British Sensibility”
I won’t say that having a Brit amongst their ranks makes ABM anymore wonderful than I already believed it to be, however it doesn’t hurt. Having a good chinwag with ABM’s Director of Photography, Ava Berkofsky, we discussed what it’s like to be on an ABM set and what exactly a DP does. When someone is this passionate about their work I’ll forgive even their Sophie-loving tendencies.
One of our favourite China Plates
I knew straight away that when I finally got to talk to Alexis Slade it would be like talking to an old friend. Someone who shared my love of London and who could tell the TRUTH about just what sort of nightmare Rachael Hip-Flores truly is. From China plates to umbrellas, Alexis is as lovely as her character, Elisabeth is neurotic. That’s a whole lot of lovely!
No-one but Aunt Jodie
What happens when you let the imaginations of a member of ABM’s cast and ABM’s #1 SuperFan run away with ideas about what they want to see in Season Three? A whole lot of craziness but also a lot of important questions that demand answers! As I sat down with ABM’s Barbara Pitts we let our imaginations run riot and they came back to one thing…Aunt Jodie needs her own show!
If She Ruled the World…
Your first interview can be a daunting experience, what can help though is choosing someone as lovely and as open as Nicole Pacent to be your first interviewee. When Tricia Richards spoke to Nicole about acting, her car, her charity work, ABM, and of course – Star Wars, she reminded us why it’s so easy to believe that with Nicole Pacent, anything’s possible.
Big Bad Wolves Beware!
I may have been tempting fate given how anti-Sophian I am but I chose to sit down with Jessy Hodges and try to find out more about the person behind the character that has divided ABM’s fans. Apart from the important question of whose team she’d be on we talked Billy Crudup, NY, dream ABM storylines and she had some fighting talk for her ABM nemesis…
