Ask Kassie

September 2008

1. Recently online a script writer stated you lobbied for Blair to be paired with John, during the Jolie/JoVan Wars. Is this true and have you lobbied for other pairings?
Terrie

KDP: I've have never asked to work or not work with anyone. I really just want to work and I'd love the work to matter. Todd and Blair are terrific together and I think John and Blair have great potential.

 

2. How is it different working with Michael Easton as compared to Trevor St John?
Deb

KDP: They are both great. We all just want the work to be good.

 

3. Rumors always circulate that RH is returning to OLTL. Is there any truth to this rumor and how would you feel if RH came back either as Todd or someone new?
Thanks, Lizzy

KDP: Rumors are always flying around. But the last time I checked he was Paul over at ATWT. I think he is an unbelievable actor and was great as Todd, but he has the chops to create any character and make it work.

 

4. You have been a longtime cheerleader for T&B. Have you finally fallen off the T&B Bandwagon and if so what would you like to see happen to Blair?
Kat

KDP: I love Todd and Blair. I recently looked at some footage on You tube and it made me smile. We are very good together. I have not fallen off the band wagon...but after 12 years of the same pattern of behavior...something has to give. Other wise it comes across abusive. Blair has done her fair share of sick and twisted things. But if they are going to write Blair as the protecting Mother and grounded soul... then based on Todd's recent behavior she must take a stand for her children and that means backing away from Todd.

 

5. You wrote the song Blair sang last week with John and Blair in mind. Can you tell us how that happened and where we can find the song later?
Tammy

KDP: I co wrote "If You Knew My Heart" with Jaime Kyle. We sat down and I filled in the blanks about OLTL and Blair and we came up with the song and 3 weeks later I sang it on the show. So thank you Frank Valentini for allowing me to voice it. I hope to have it available for download in the next couple of weeks.

 

6. Do you think Blair will eventually end up adopting Tommy?
Georgia

KDP: If Todd keeps messing up....she might have too.

 

7. Do you think Blair is a full blown sex addict? Or do you think she uses sex the same way some people use alcohol or a strenuous work out after a tough day at work?
Lee

KDP: I don't think she is a sex addict at all. I think there are some deep rooted issues that Blair has and she might use sex and has used sex in the past to hurt Todd or to forget her pain, but I don't think she is addicted to it. She is a very sexual character.

 

8. I often think Blair feel guilty for not protecting her children from Todd's insanity so she overcompensates by giving Starr for instance more leeway then she should. Do you?
Jim

KDP: No, Starr is her own girl and even if Blair were to hold her too tight she would fight and do it her way any way.

 

9. What do you think about Starr giving away the baby without even talking to Blair about it? And what do you think about Blair finding out all of Starr's big decisions second hand?
Maggie

KDP: It's a painful situation. Starr is scared about both her parents reactions. It's natural based on the past.

 

10. Doesn't Spencer look a whole lot less crazy then Todd does right about now?
Careen

KDP: No

 

11. Is Blair ever going to bring up the unfinished conversation about her dad with Addie again?
Blianca

KDP: I don't know. I think Blair will always be broken based on her childhood and past.

 

12. Blair is beautiful, she's young, she's rich, she's fabulous, has two places of business. What do you think of her taste in men?
Avery

KDP: She likes her men a little dangerous. That's how she looks at life.

 

13. I have never seen anyone take being a grandma in such stride. How do you do it?
Angie

KDP: Hey, What's a girl to do.

 

14. Do you think it would have been great if Blair worked with Dorian at C.E.? I thought just the thought of Asa rolling over in his grave would have been enough for Blair to demand a corner office.
Renate

KDP: It would be nice..

 

15. I'm curious about your movie UNDONE. When/where will it be out/released? I tried Netflix, but they don't have it? If it's now on DVD, I could suggest it to them. If you have any info, I'd be interested. Thank you for your time.
Linda --a OLTL fan; a "Blair" fan; and a KDP fan!

KDP: We are still trying to get distribution.

 

16. Do you use Cat Costmetics? Eye shadow's, foundation? If not what is your favorite Brand. Mac? Lancome? Stila?
Thanks, Lisa

KDP: I love Cat's stuff and use it everyday.

 

17. Just wondering if you are attending Super Super Weekend at Disneyworld in Florida this year and if you know the exact dates yet?
Thanks. Vickie

KDP: Yes, I have been offically asked this year and believe the dates are November 15/16

 

18. I saw a rerun of an episode you did on "One Day With Wally Kurth" on Soap Net and you fixed a salad made with Granny Smith apples. It sounded great. I got all the ingredients you used, except you never mentioned the salad dressing you used. What dressing do you use?
Pat

KDP: Poppy Seed.

 

19. Will we be seeing Blair sing more at Capricorns?
Betty

KDP: I hope so. Write in.
