What would you like to see happen to Jason in 2008?
I would like him to claim Jake. I would like him to try the Elizabeth relationship out, just because we've never really given it a true shot to see how that would work out. Then maybe beat up Ric a few more times.
With whom would you like to see Jason get more heavily involved in 2008?
I've been working a lot more with Laura Wright (Carly) lately, which I like. If they've got something to do, Carly/Jason stuff is always fun...besides chasing monkeys in the jungle. I'd like to explore the Elizabeth/Jason relationship more so there's a little more depth. Right now, I wouldn't say it's only on the surface because there's a kid involved, but they need to get to know each other without anything else involved.
Which character besides your own do you think is going to have a really excellent year?
I think Ric is going to have a lot of really good stuff. I've always been a really big fan of Rick Hearst. I'm glad he's got something to do now, and he can earn 20 more Emmys. He's great at his job. This whole Zacchara thing is getting kind of interesting now. The dynamic between Sonny and Trevor, Ric and Trevor. I'm really interested to see what Trevor and this Zacchara guy are going to be like and what the fallout is going to be.
Do you think that 2008 will be the year that Jason finally finds happiness?
If he does, it will only be for a short time, as usual. I think that's why people like Jason and Sam - they saw a side to him you really don't get a chance to see. They let Jason and Sam be happy with each other a decent amount of time before everything started going south. I don't know if it's fun for everyone to see him conflicted all the time. As an actor, you want to get levels, play that other stuff, explore other relationships and add new layers to your own character, which I think the kid has done and will continue to do.
What's your wish for GH in the upcoming year?
We're very fortunate to have the good actors that we have. We're all thankful for each other, in that respect. I hope that we can keep this type of story and the anticipation because there aren't a lot of stories that get you to feel something like, "I want to see it tomorrow." This is one of them.
