Host NBCmike:
Hi. Welcome to the NBC SuperNet Auditorium and the NBC.COM chat room on the web.
Tonight, we have two special guests here in
our New York offices: DAHLIA SALEM and KEVIN MCCLATCHY of NBC's
"Another World."
We'll be taking questions from both the MSN
and NBC.COM on the World Wide Web ().
Well, enough of this...let's get chatting!
Dahlia and Kevin are here with us in the NBC SuperNet Auditorium.
Welcome!
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: Hey, how ya doin'?
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: Hi everyone!
Host NBCmike:
All right. Let's get to the juice... our
first question...
Brenda1062:
Dahlia---your character seems to have forgiven
Nick for his infidelity---How do you feel about that?
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: Well.. I believe in forgiving, but
not forgetting... and I hope that Nick will be true in the future
and we'll see about that!
Host NBCmike:
Phantom_Regiment:
Q:from Erin, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. for
both of you, do you prefer theatre work to film work??
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: Both. Let's see.
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: actually, I've always had a big soft
spot in my heart for theatre, and hopefully I'll always go back
to it....
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: I agree. My background was theatre
as well, and I would welcome any opportunities in film work.
Host NBCmike:
From Waggaman, LA: AWorldFan:
Dahlia & Kevin how what was your first
experience at a large fan club gathering such as the luncheon
like?
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: It was a bit overwhelming for me....in
terms of all the attention.
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: Yeah, we work in a vacuum, and it was
pretty incredible to see the amount of support and interest in
our characters.
Host NBCmike:
fiona:
Kevin, I watched you as Vinnie on GL. You
did an excellent job with a slimy character. Nick is a very different.
Which has been more fun to play?
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: Well, Vinnie was easier to play. He
had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He wasn't a very complex
character. Nick is much more of a challenge, because he is very
complicated, so that makes it much more fun.
Host NBCmike:
Aloha from Hawaii: steelehawk2:
Dahlia- Do you get along with Lisa Brenner(Maggie)
in real life?
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: absolutely
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: Cats and Dogs they fight like! She
has a terrific sense of humor and she makes our long hours bearable.
Host NBCmike:
Brenda1062:
Dahlia and Kevin---if you could choose a storyline
for your character, what would it be and why?
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: Welll, we could take off and go to
Bay city...
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: Run a restaurant... (hee, hee, hee)
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Dahlia: We're good business partners, I think....
Host NBCmike:
TVbrain: Kevin are you anything like Nick?
Same question for Dahlia - do you share any similarities with
Sofia? How do you differ from your characters?
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: Yeah, a little bit... I think
what I have in common with Nick is we look alike! (ha, ha, ha)
but seriously, we both have the best intentions most of the time.
Host NBCmike:
Sorry, cyber folks we're having tech diff.
Dahlia and Kevin just got moofed.
Why that's never happened to any of us on the
msn... (facetious grin).
Host NBCmike:
In case you're just joining us, we're chatting
the night away with DAHLIA SALEM and KEVIN MCCLATCHY of NBC's
"Another World." Post your questions in the Open Mic
room! And we'll try to answer as many as we can.

Kevin-Why does Nick has good intentions but
bad judgment?. (ex. the heart pin and the money)
Dahlia_and_Kevin:
Kevin: I think he's got an impulse problem,
he just doesn't think before he does things, even though he's
got a good heart. He could possibly be a Klepto.
Host NBCmike:
Brenda1062:
Dahlia/Kevin: Do you have a set jokester and
if so what are some of the stunts which have been pulled?

Dahlia: I would say, Mercedes Ruehl. I had
the opportunity to work with her last summer in the Broadway production
the Rose Tatoo. It was an invaluable experience.

always so honest and that's what I try to do when I am working.
