And it’s important to deal with it because all of America is dealing with it. They had a very laid back scene where I went “Well, if I lose my memory of today, I’ll just be happy.” And I said that that was terrible. You’ve got to put something in about how medical people are researching and there’s hope. You can’t tell the public something like that. I think we’re dealing with something that reaches the people in this country, and I hope we’re some help. John: Well, Victor is sort of dealing with domestic situations. He has a lot of people living in his house. J: He does a little house cleaning. He does a little of this, a little of that. We’ve heard Brady is moving out. John: I invited him to move back in the other day. That’s all I know. Caroline is about to have her first great-great grandchild. Peggy: And who’s going to have it?  Gabi and Will. Peggy: I thought it was me. I’m everybody’s mother and grandmother. It’s goes on and on. Will you be involved in that story? Peggy: I sure hope so. You had a scene with Will recently. Peggy: Yes, that was a nice scene. We’re way ahead. John: Ridiculously. Peggy: We were much further ahead at one point. I came out of my dressing room and I saw Santa Claus. I had like a heart attack. I need to get presents. John: The other day I said, “Shouldn’t I have a coat on?” And they said, “It’s May.” Victor has a lot of funny lines, but he also seems to stick to the misogynistic lines a lot. What are your thoughts on that? John: Victor’s not a misogynist at all. He just has a very low tolerance for stupid women. Peggy: You? No, he’s not John: Victor’s very charming. He’s charming to you, isn’t he? Peggy: Oh, well. You were my love. John: You see? It’s just the Chloes and the Nicoles of the world that rub him the wrong way. What are some of your favorite scenes or storylines? John: One of the toughest jobs in the world is writing one of these things.   Peggy: Yes John: I mean, I don’t envy these writers at all. Seventy pages a day, 52 weeks a year. It ain’t easy. So if you get one good scene a month, you’ve really got some good writers. So it all depends on the scene. Peggy: My favorite part was when he [Victor] came back into Salem, and all that let loose about Bo. It was very dramatic. Heavy stuff. And romantic. And that was kind of wonderful. John: Yeah, it was good stuff. Peggy: We had a good time doing that. Do any scenes or stories stand out that you didn’t like?  Peggy: I guess I forgot them. John: The ones where you talk too much and the ones where you talk too little. A lot of our members complained about the scene when Victor was peeling potatoes. Peggy: Peeling potatoes John: I actually peeled them? Peggy: Doesn’t sound like him. I honestly don’t remember if they showed him doing it or just referenced that that’s what he was doing. John: I’m sure they didn’t show it. I wouldn’t put up with that. What would you like to see happen for your characters? John: Oh, I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter as long as it’s well-written. Peggy: I like to be there. I like to be involved. I think it would be interesting to have another romance. I’m not ten! I say that to Sami. “You’re hiding facts from me? I’m forgetful. I’m not fragile.” Why not? I don’t think it’s inappropriate, and I think it would be something interesting to the older audience. Well, he’s married now. John: Well, I”m not a fanatic about it. Peggy: Okay. John: Unfortunately, I think I am. Is there anyone else on the show you’d like to work with more? John: Well, for me the most fun...well, we have scenes together. Our scenes are wonderful, because we’ve worked together so long. Peggy: We really know each other. John: They’re still not as much fun as when I tear the bitch apart.

Too damn funny. I think I :cloud9: John A now, more than ever. Okay, Peggy and John really seem to have an excellent rapport with one another. Makes sense but still so cute to read validation of it in print. Another nice interview! Edited by spartan, Feb 24 2013, 01:00 AM.

These two have me in TEARS! "Well, he’s married now." "Well, I”m not a fanatic about it. [...] Unfortunately, I think I am." "They’re still not as much fun as when I tear the bitch apart." John Aniston FTW!

Posts: 5,591 Group: Veteran Member #49 Joined: June 14, 2007 Favorite Current Daytime Soap Opera None Favorite Soap Opera of All Time DAYS Favorite Primetime Soap Opera of All Time Melrose Place, Dallas, KL, Dynasty (tied)	Fantastic interview! LMAO! I feel like both of them were having harmless fun but also got in a few, um, digs, which I appreciated, or at least took them as veiled digs. I think we probably see a lot of John and Peggy in Victor and Caroline because the writing is ... eh for them at times. It's a shame. They're both still vital and able to work a lot. They are used a good amount but it sounds like Peggy/Caroline isn't being used much in the baby storyline? Which is kinda ridiculous because of Sami ... but who knows? I could be totally reading it wrong. Edited by KMan101, Feb 24 2013, 06:53 AM.
