JASON COOK & KIRSTEN STORMS
CHAT TRANSCRIPT
DECEMBER 15, 1999
*Jason: Hi guys, thanks for coming and I hope to answer all of your questions.
*Kirsten: Hey everybody, what's up? Happy Holidays!
*mollyh6_24 asks: What do the two of you think of the Mimi character? Will she keep acting like a twit forever?
*Jason: First of all, I don't think she's a twit. Her character's just going to keep on changing and I think she's great.
*Kirsten: I agree. Mimi will definitely change.
*kayleehope asks: Jason, is Peter Reckell easy to work with?
*Jason: Peter's actually really great to work with especially recently with all this Gina stuff going on. We can chat and then get into the scene really easily.
*tiny77356 asks: Kirsten what is it like to work with Deidre and Drake?
*Kirsten: It's a lot of fun. They're both really professional, and they're great to me.
*Kirsten: They act like my second parents.
*pigger2000_1999 asks: What is your favorite animal?
*Kirsten: I like frogs.
*Jason: I love mountain gorillas and one day I will sit with them.
*hockeymom89_2000 asks: Will Belle and Shawn share a kiss under the mistletoe this year?
*Kirsten: You'll just have to watch and find out.
*tremor_21 asks: By bringing all of these younger characters into Days, do you think the writers are trying to appeal to the Passions audience?
*Kirsten: No, I think the writers are trying to appeal to a larger audience, not take away from another soap's audience.
*Jason: No. I think the whole thing with Days and a soap is that you have all these families and new lives with new generations. It's more that they're trying to keep things fresh and appeal overall.
*smiley_girl_16_1999 asks: What was you audition for DAYS like?
*Kirsten: For my callback I read with Bryan Datillo.
*Kirsten: Isn't that crazy?
*Jason: You did? What??
*Kirsten: It was an extremely dramatic scene, which isn't like him at all in real life. He's completely the class clown. He was amazing, and I think he helped me so much.
*Jason: I have a question for you. What was the scene?
*Kirsten: It wasn't about Belle...it was supposed to be some prostitute or something. It was really weird.
*Jason: My audition was with the head lady and I wasn't reading for a prostitute. I hadn't been type cast yet. It was one of the most laid back auditions I've done. Then there was the test with...
*Jason: Kirsten and it was the very last screen test.
*Kirsten: I was dead by then! He was amazing.
*cutebchula asks: Welcome!!!!!!!!! Kirsten and Jason. Are either of you visiting New York any time soon?
*Jason: My family's back East so I'll be visitng soon.
*Kirsten: I'm not planning on leaving the state any time soon.
*Jason: I have family upstate, all over the place back East.
