callalily_22 asks: Judy - I'm so sorry to hear about the cancellation! I believe that it's the best and the soap with the most integrity on the air! NBC is crazy - instead of putting new show on air - they should have just changed AW around and kept your wonderful actors with their characters!!!!

callalily_22 asks: How did the cast take the news!!!!! It must have been really sad!
Judi: Both the cast and crew were really sad.
Judi: There was shock, tears, anger. Kind of like a death...
Judi: I just want to thank the fans for their years and years of support.
Judi: Thanks for watching for years and years.

Rhkspk asks: It seems like they are speeding up the pace of AW is that because they will try to rap up a lot of lose ends ?
Judi: Actually from what Chris Goutman told me...
Judi: The stories are pretty much the same

davidinla asks: compare working with joe and with tom eplin, please
Judi: Tom is wild and fun and Joe is fun and steady. They are like night and day.

Joe: It's a llijttle bittersweet.
SoapCity_Guest2: S; We have to stay optimistic and know that it is part of the job
Joe: I've been on the show for 4 years, and I consider myself lucky.
Joe: It's a gift to do the show, but now there is a door opening for all of us.
Joe: It's sad to know that all that history is coming to an end.
Joe: It's sad that a lot of people are going to be out of work, but I'm looking to it as an opportunity to move on in my life.
Sandra: I think that fan following on this show is something that I have not experienced on any other show
Sandra: So many people have told me that they have watched the show with their grandmother or their mom or that they named their child after a character
Sandra: I feel VERY privledged to have been a part of this history..
Sandra: And that is the SADDEST thing about the show ending.
Sandra: Like people who say that their grandparents don't recognize a lot anymore, but they recognize the show..
Sandra: That has affected me most deeply about working on this show...

JIllFromColorado asks: Joe, will you do Grease again?! You were fantastic?
Sandra: Can I be Sandy in Grease with you???

Roberta627 asks: Sandra what was your favorite storyline?

Sandra: I loved working with Tom E., but I only got to do one major scene with him...
Sandra: I totally loved the dynamic between Cindy and Grant.. It was sick but it was great..
Amanda: As for my own storylines... I think that the writers did a really good job with the possession storyline..
Amanda: And it was really fun to do..

KJL832 asks: Joe, what's it like playing a dirty cop after being so "by the book" for so long?
Sandra: Thank god!! He was sooo boring before!!
Joe: I loved it, thank God! Thanks to all the writers!
Sandra: Of course I mean that in the most endearing way...
Joe: They had written me into a corner! It was ridiculous.
Joe: when this character was created, he was supposed to be a cop who was sick of playing by the rules.
Joe: That's why he became a private eye.
Joe: Having a rule book stuck up your butt doesn't feel good.
Sandra: That doesn't feel good!!
Joe: It feels like the character has come full circle.
