AMC/OLTL/GH: ROBIN CHRISTOPHER, true queen of ABC Daytime!

[Hartless]

I agree. Come home to AMC Robin!

[MarlandRulez]

We should pray for McT's hasty firing before we wish Robin to return to PV!

[Hartless]

I pray for that everyday, trust me.

But I would love to see her with David Canary again, I still have those wonderful OLTL scenes on tape when Adam told Skye he loved her. And besides, I'd love to see Skye kick Kendall's ass.

[Laurie]

Love Robin...she is my favorite daytime actress. Wish we saw more of her on GH.

It would be fun seeing Skye back in P.V....Skye has got to be tired of mobsters!

[MarlandRulez]

So, Ive heard rumors that GH is gonna do a Who's the Daddy storyline, and SKYE will be the expectant mother! Finally! She gets the miracle child she always wanted after Dr Angie Hubbard told her she was barren all those years ago!

Quotes About Robin

Linda Dano (Rae, OLTL):

"She really is a very unique kid. Most of us have had this sort of experience that if someone is exceptionally beautiful, then you assume that they are not going to be a 10 in all the areas that count. You know, the soul, the mind, the spirit. But Robin is a 10. She's generous and extremely funny and soulful and sweet; she's just one of those people in life that if you don't like her, something's wrong with you. I love this kid...and I feel lucky to work with her."

John Ingle (Edward, GH):

"She's low-key, and always prepared."

Brian Frons (President of ABC Dayime):

"This [pairing] is a thing that JFP suggested. It was really a 'Let's just see where it goes'. We have two great actors - Robin is very, very talented and they strike well against each other - so we'll see where that takes us. Obviously there is a chemistry there."

Tony Geary (Luke, GH, about Luke and Skye):

"They have similar wounds. But they also both have an immoral streak. That's a nice combination. I thought it was a great idea. I mean, I've always like Robin's work. I'm a fan. She's sensational with that character and she's got a really cool way of bringing her edginess to the surface."

Robin Christopher Quotes

Robin: "I got the acting bug around age 15 when I saw James Dean in East of Eden. Great flick!"

Robin: "If you want to be a 'star', you have to go to the

right parties and brown-nose the right people. I have a real

problem with insincerity." (6/21/94)

Robin: "I really like Meryl Streep. I thought she was

incredible in 'The Bridges of Madison County'. She was so

overlooked for that."

Robin: (While modeling a dress for a episode of Soap

Center) "This dress puts the va va in the voom."

Robin: "When you're with someone and you have a great

relationship, you can be anywhere together. Literally.

Making any big change is easier when you have the right

person in your life."

Robin: "I had a little crush on him (Matt) but I never

entertained the thought that I was his type at all. What's

funny is that he thought the same about me as well." (From

"Rhapsody in Bloom", SOW)

Robin: (When asked, "What about your appearance do you

think gives you character?") "Because I'm Italian, I tend to

have a lot of darkness around my eyes. It used to be the

bane of my existence when I was younger, but I've now

come to see it as a sign of character and depth."

Robin: (While at OLTL) "I feel so lucky where my life's

at right now, and so thankful to be working back here

at ABC! I'm thankful to be at this place in my life, to be in

a wonderful relationship and have great family around me.

There's never a day I don't feel lucky."

Robin: "She (Skye) has such low self-esteem and doesn't

think she deserves to have a great relationship, so she

doesn't know where to start."

Robin: "Matt is the sweetest, purest soul to me. He is ama-

zing, and I have learned so much from him. As women we

tend to be people pleasers. We are taught that as little girls.

And I fell into that. He does things only because he

wants to, not because he has to, and that is a gift. He's

taught me about figuring out what I want and don't want,

and basically doing what is best for me. And what is really

surprising is that although from a distance we

seem different, we are very much alike."

(From an article, "Rhapsody in Bloom", SOW)

Robin: (Question: Did you follow Skye's antics on All My

Children after you left the show when another actress

played the role?) "Yes, I'd see things in soap

magazines because I was on Another World at the same

time. I'd pick up magazines and see what she was

doing. I thought it was great because when Skye first left

Pine Valley, they had started to kind of soften her up.

When I heard that she had come back in like this, I

thought, 'Oh, that's fun!'"

Robin: (About when she was on AMC) "I thank my lucky

stars, believe me. It took me two years to get here, and I

still can't believe I have this role. I remember my agent

telling me I got it. I started crying and she started crying

and I called my mother and she started crying. Me, excited?"

Soap Opera Digest: What book do you recommend?

Robin: (Laughs) "When I'm working a lot, I look at my

scripts days ahead of time because I like to get an idea of

what I'm doing. Now, I have a hard time getting to the end

of an book!"

SOW: "When do you feel your most beautiful?"

Robin: "When I'm at home with my hair pulled up,

and Matt and I have just finished doing yoga, and I'm

really relaxed and living in the moment. That's when I feel

really vital and alive, and I think it shows in my face."

(From Soap Opera Digest Q&A) What is your all-time

favorite commercial jingle?

Robin: "Ooooh! The old chiquita Banana song!

I mean, come on, a banana dressed like Carmen

Miranda? How great? My mother knows all the words

and sings it to us on request. She's a great singer...My

mother -- not the banana!"

(From SOD Q&A)If you could be trapped inside of a tele-

vision show for one month, what show would you choose?

Robin: "Definitely 'Felicity'. They're totally

hip, scholastically talented and getting great educations.

Wouldn't it be great to be so together at 18 years old?"

What would people be surprised to know about you?

Robin: "That I actually love to clean. I do some of my best

thinking and relaxing with my scrub gloved on -- very

therapeutic!"

If you could have a super power, it would be...?

Robin: "The power to fly and leap tall buildings with a

single bound, thus making the evergrowing problem of

traffic and congestion obsolete in my daily city living."

Why does Skye keep allowing her insecurity to get the best of

her?

Robin: "It's a struggle for her to bring together her

emotional life and her intellectual life and make wise

decisions. Her emotions keep getting the best of her."

Robin: (About Ingo Rademacher, Jax) "Ingo's very free as a

person, like on the set. He's sort of, 'You take it seriously,

but not too seriously. Just sort of let it go.'

We have a good time."

Robin: (About where she was on 9/11) "My husband and I

were in bed. We got a call from his mother. We didn't pick

up the phone. I'll never forget it. His mother was

frantically screaming into the phone: 'They've attacked the

World Trade Center! The World Trade Center is

collapsing!' I always said to Matt before we left New York

that there was going to be some kind of terrorist attack

there. When it happened it was just like, ' I can't believe

they got New York."

What is the most prized item in your wardrobe?

Robin: "I have a pair of Ralph Lauren striped cotton sailor

pants that I've had for about 10 years. They're like a pair

of pajamas. Everybody knows me in my blue and white

striped pants."

What daytime star from another ABC show would you

most like to share a scene with?

Robin: "I think it would be fun if Skye went back to All

My Children and had some scenes with Liza. Just the

whole thing with her being married to my...what would I

call him? Adam's not my daddy anymore! The whole

Chandler connection and maybe fighting over some

Chandler property. I'd like to see Liza's fangs come out. I

think Marcy Walker is great and it would be fun to go

back."

If you could do your wedding all over, what would you

change?

Robin: "Well, Matt and I eloped. It was perfect the way

it happened because we did it at our house in Nova Scotia

at the last minute. But I sometimes, of course, wish our

families had been there. Even though we eloped, and

I loved it -- it was perfect, and we had our friends

and neighbors up there, and they helped out -- maybe

someday we'll renew our vows and have a big old party."

What is the craziest diet you've been on?

Robin: "I went on the Fit For Life diet, where you

could only eat fruit up until noon and only food

combined with certain things. I was [also taking] Chinese

herbs at the same time. Unbeknownst to me, those Chinese

herbs had caffeine in them and [doing both]

made me crazy. It wasn't a good combination."

Robin: (on which co-star she misses the most) "That's easy -

Linda Dano. I don't see her or talk to her nearly

enough now. I miss her."

SID: Who were you most excited to meet upon

joining the cast of GH?

Robin: "Tony Geary (Luke). It'll be funny if he reads this, but

I'm still a little star-struck by him."

SID: What plot twist suprised you most?

Robin: "I had no idea that I would ever be Rae and Alan's daughter. It worked out well, though - the Quartermaines are richer than the Chandlers!"

SOD: What does Skye like about Luke?

Robin: "He's the kind of person that says whatever he feels and does whatever he wants. Luke has no guilt about it. He's in control of his own destiny, and she finds that quite appealing."

SOD: What soap star would you like to meet, but haven't yet?

Robin: "Maybe Grant Aleksander, because I always read that he was into animal causes and I thought that was cool. I remember seeing a picture of him and his wife with all of their animals around. And I think he's a really good actor, too."

SOD: What was the most far-out storyline you were ever involved in?

Robin: "I guess [on OLTL] when Skye cut Blair's [Kassie DePaiva] hair off. That was pretty insane! I was a nervous wreck the whole day, and my hands were shaking when it was actually time to tape. I mean, I had to cut off this woman's beautiful, long hair. She wanted me to, but it was still crazy [laughs]. And then she flushed Skye's head down the toilet, I think, so it was tit for tat. Although it only lasted for a day, it caused repercussions in the story."

SOW: What's the most romantic Valentine's Day you've ever had? (February 2005)

Robin: "Probably the first one Matt (Crane, her husband) and I spent together. He took me home to meet his mom and show me where he grew up. He grew up in the country, which was really pretty. There was snow on the ground. We had the house to ourselves. It was the first time that we actually professed our love to each other, so it was special."

Robin: (On working with Anthony Geary, Luke) "I hit the jackpot! It's been fun and easy and just a blast. Working with Tony, I feel like, 'My God! What did I do to deserve this?' "

SOW (2005): What are you reading?

Robin: "I'm reading Mirror, Mirror: A Novel, which is by the same guy (Gregory Maguire) who wrote Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which they made into a musical. I love Wicked, so hopefully, I'll love this just as much. It's imaginative and fantastical, and very entertaining."

SID: Who in your cast would have the most entertaining reality show based on their life and why?

Robin: "Ingo Rademacher (Jax). He's always doing something, whether it's building a house, competing in a triathlon, getting a new car -- he loves his car and gets a new one every other month. He's just a hoot! Every time I see him, it's like, 'Ingo, what are you up to now?' And he's great at getting a different rise out of different people. So if he could have different personalities around him to see how people would react, it would be funny."

[OneLife Fan]

Todd and Skye Talk at Hallowed Ground; Skye Breaks into Rae's

One Life to Live

March 30, 2001

Skye: You can find out who my father is?

Todd: I found out who your mother is.

Skye: Yeah, I remember. Only too well.

Todd: That was a freebie though- this one is going to cost you.

Skye: Now, why would I ever agree to that? I hate you.

Todd: Yeah but you hate Rae Cummings more. And I'll do for you what she won't. I'll tell you who your real father is. So, what's it going to be? Are you going to be Rae Cummings's good little girl? Or do you want to find out who your father is?

****

Todd: (to worker at counter) I want an apple pie, some hot apple pie, with some cold ice cream. Two of them.

Skye: I don't want any pie.

Todd: Then don't order any.

Skye: Thank you. I won't.

Todd: So wait, wait, wait. Do you want to know who your father is?

Skye: I don't need your help to find my father.

Todd: Yeah, right, cuz you did such a good job finding your mother.

Skye: I didn't want to find her.

Todd: I think she didn't want you to find her. This whole time, she was willing to keep you in the dark for the rest of your life. Now, are you really going to let Rae away with that?

Skye: If I say yes, and that's an if the size of your ego, what do you want in return, Todd?

Todd: Well usually it would be your first born child, but since you like Max, that could get a little ugly.

Skye: What do you want, Todd?

Todd: Well, just a little, you know, harmless favour.

Skye: What?

Todd: I want you to talk to your buddy John Sykes.

Skye: He's not my buddy.

Todd: Call him whatever you like.

Skye: What do you want me to talk to him about?

****

Skye: You didn't answer my question.

Todd: How did they manage to get this pie and ice cream to taste like sour cream and potatoes?

Skye: Why do you want me to talk to John Sykes?

Todd: I want you to ask him a question.

Skye: What is it?

Todd: Well, let's just say if you were evidence, and you weren't in the evidence room, where would you be?

Skye: Evidence? Oh, Blair's clothes!

Todd: Yeah, they're covered in gun powder.

Skye: You want me to help you get Blair off the hook?

Todd: Oh it would get Blair off the hook. I didn't even think of that.

Skye: Blair framed me for Max's shooting, you both did! Why would I ever want to help either one of you?

Todd: Because you're selfish.

Skye: What?

Todd: It's killing you not knowing who your father is. And you can do this little thing where you try to hurt me and Blair, or you can let me help you.

****

Todd: Look what do you care if Blair goes free? It doesn't mean that you go to jail instead.

Skye: Right, what was I thinking?

Todd: In a way you're in jail already. I mean, a jail of sorts. People have been lying to you your whole life, especially Rae. And it's not like they're lying to you about little things like 'oh, the puppy ran away' when they really had it put to sleep, or, 'oh hey, we're moving', they tell you, the day that they're moving. No, they've been lying to you about big things, like who your parents are. I mean, your parents made you, they are the reason you do what you do. I guess in a way you really don't know who you are.

Skye: What is this, the Todd Manning School of Mental Health?

Todd: I know what I'm talking about.

Skye: Well if the shoe fits...

Todd: The same kind of thing happened to me. My father was unkind. But that's nothing next to who my real father was.

Skye: Who? Satan?

Todd: Haha. See the thing is, people- they think that they're helping you by not telling you the truth, but really, it just screws you up. You're not going to let Rae do that to you again, are you? What you're going to do is ask John where Bo put those clothes.

Skye: And Blair goes free.

Todd: Maybe. Maybe not. But you definitely do.

****

Todd: So what's it going to be? It sounds like a good deal. You get a new and improved father all for the price of some measly old clothes.

Skye: Go to hell.

Todd: 'Kay. I mean, do you want to be little orphan Skye for the rest of your life?

Skye: Of course I don't. But there is no father on this earth who is worth helping you clear Blair. Nothing is worth that. (Skye gets up to leave and Todd grabs her arm)

Todd: No, no, no, don't- I mean, nobody walks away from me.

****

Skye: Get your hands off me. I'm not afraid of you. I will find out who my father is. I don't need your help, I don't need anybody's help. (Blair approaches them) Looks like you're going to have to find another to get that witch's clothes.

[MarlandRulez]

you go Skye! Tell that !@#$%^&*] Tracy to divorce your man!

[SteveFrame]

I couldn't word it any better than you did. She is just wonderful. I loved her when I first saw her on All My Children years ago, and then continue to love her through Another World on to General Hospital.

[MarlandRulez]

come on guys, we need to get more posts than the Tracy thread Don't let the Rat Queen's legions win!

[Ms. Walsh]

Robin Christopher is the most amazing thing on GH...there is no comparison. And the writers are idiots because they have yet to realize what an outstanding, gorgeous actress she is and what a great character Skye Chandler-Quartermaine is. I hate how underrated she is on GH. As long as she is on GH, I will continue to watch the show and suffer through the crapfest known as Sonny, Emily, Jason, Sam, and the rest of the mafia-lite crew.

[Ms. Quartermaine]

A little late with this, but congrats to RC! Baby #2 is on the way!

[Ms. Walsh]

Yes, I'm really happy for her!! I hope that they include her pregnancy in the storyline. I'd love to see Skye have a baby!
