Julie Pinson:
Hi everybody! I'm glad that you all are joining us for a chat. This is my first time doing this but please be gentle!
Penny
Hey Julie, it is great to see you on Days.. Was it strange for you to take over the role from Lisa Rinna?
Julie Pinson:
No, it wasn't strange at all. I think if Lisa wasn't available to do the role, I think it was fated to be mine.
DAYSfan
hey Julie! i love watching you on DAYS! i'm wondering if anyone has ever told you that you look like Rosalind Russell? you should audition for The Women remake!
Julie Pinson:
Rosalind Russell? I've never heard that one but I'm flattered!
becky
at what age did u start your acting.
Julie Pinson:
The first time I remember is when I was in sixth grade and I was in the play, Heidi. I played Fraulein Rottenmeyer, the bad lady. At the curtain call, my family stood up and clapped so loud and I loved the feeling so much that I knew it was what I wanted to do.
daysluvr
hey julie, thanks for chatting with us today. i was wondering how you are adjusting to being on days? who has been the biggest help to you in the cast?
Julie Pinson:
Definitely, Peter and Kristian. My storyline is with the two of them so obviously I spend most of my working time with them. They've helped fill me in on the show history and family and things like that. Basically, I found out that I'm related to everyone in Salem!
LuvThatBo
Were you a DOOL fan before landing the role of Billie, and if so, for how long?
Julie Pinson:
Honestly, when I was growing up the only show that I watched was AMC. I hear the Boos coming, lol. I do remember being in a restaurant about 15 years ago and looking at the TV and seeing Kristian ice-skating. I remember thinking how beautiful she was.
Jessica
Hello Julie! I think you're doing a great job as Billie. I don't miss Lisa at all! Do you think there BIllie will fall back into drugs because of her sadness over not having Bo or Georgia?
Julie Pinson:
Anything's possible. I would hope that Billie would be stronger than that but finding out that my daughter is alive is a life changing experience. I'm not sure how much disappointment it would take for Billie to go over the edge again.
sandy
do you want to always act the bad girl along with kate. to me you and kate makes sami look like a saint.
Julie Pinson:
I think it's just as fun to play the bad girl, it's more fun. I think the fans like to have the bad girl on screen. If everyone was nice and wonderful it would be really boring.
Steff
Hi Julie.
I watched you on PC and Eve and Ian were one of my favorite couples. Have you kept in contact with Thorsten Kaye after you left PC?
Julie Pinson:
Unfortunately I haven't. He's in NY doing AMC and we lost touch after my run on PC ended. But I loved acting opposite him.
LuvThatBo
Do you think finding your character's daughter will make her stronger or more dependent?
Julie Pinson:
Stronger. I think it would give her something to live for and it would give her life meaning. I think it will strive to make her a better person.
Leslie
Who would you like to have more scenes with or work with more from the show??
Julie Pinson:
I like working with Lauren (Kate). I think it might be fun for the two of them to partner up and try and wreak havoc. I would also love to Thaao Penghlis (Tony). I don't know what kind of story we could have but I would love to work opposite him. For storyline purposes I think it would be cool if Billie tried to infiltrate the DiMeras and take Tony down.
Anna
Thank you for your great preformances. LOL I want to slap you at times though for what you are doing. It looks like you are enjoying this roll. Is it fun playing Billie Holiday Reed?
Julie Pinson:
Lol. I'm having a great time, it's fantastic.
jenny
i know it must have been hard on you when pc was cancelled....what's your fondest memeory from that show?
Julie Pinson:
Working with Jon Lindstrom and Kin Shriner and what they taught me.
Julie Pinson:
One more thing for the girl who wanted to slap me: If you didn't want to slap me at times, I wouldn't be doing justice to the character!
Desi
I was a huge Chris and Eve fan when you were on Port Charles and so felt that Eve died long before her storyline was over. I think you're doing an awesome job on Days as Billie and was so glad to see you back. In your opinion, what is the most challenging part of being in the daytime world?
Julie Pinson:
I think the most challenging part is taking the stories that the writers come up with and making them work because sometimes the stories are really out there and we have to make the audience believe that it's really happening.
Holly
Hey Julie.. I remember reading once that you collect dolls. Do you still?
Julie Pinson:
Yes, absolutely. I collect Barbies! I haven't bought any new ones in a couple of years. I got to the point where I thought I had enough. I just got a new Barbie catalogue so I might look at it after the chat!
BoluvsFancyFace
All the smiles and smirks that you do behind Hope's back, is that a touch that you add on your own or are you directed to do so?
Julie Pinson:
I add it on my own. Do you hate it or love it? You have to bring something of your own to the character and the history that I understand Hope and Billie have warrant the smirks.
Holland
Loved your scenes with Bryan Dattilo (Lucas). Great brother and sister chemisty. Will there be more of that in the future?
Julie Pinson:
I hope so! I haven't seen any scripts yet within the next few weeks where we're together but I love hanging out with Bryan.
Kallie
Hi Julie! I admire your acting on the show and loved you on PC as well. Who are your personal heros?
Julie Pinson:
That's a good question. Well, I'd say one of my personal heroes is my best friend Sherry who has managed to raise her daughter (my goddaughter) by herself and hold a full time job. Single parents are amazing to me. My parents, as well.
