ORNFC: Don't know about Krista...I think she' like to be back and of course we'd love to have her...we'll see

 

rosie4kimrobert: Robert, This is in regards to what happened to Tony and Marah. Has Josh ever hit Reva or any of his women when he was angry? Not talking about Olivia's alter ego.

 

rosie4kimrobert: I say "NO"

 

ORNFC: I don't think so...does anyone remember anything like that...?

 

mermaidknows: No!

 

adva247365: I don't think so

 

rosie4kimrobert: I sure don't

 

valsaari: I don't remember Josh ever getting violent

 

ORNFC: I punched Billy pretty good the other day though.

 

jsfree24: Your scenes with Billy in the hotel room were hilarious!

 

ornfcbarb: I don't think so either . Only when Josh knocked Olivia out cold to get back to the future!

 

ORNFC: Figures..the Yahoo email verifications just arrived...

 

mermaidknows: I kinda wanted Josh to deck Tony today too, how did you feel about the way they wrote that scene?

ORNFC: Kim's doing a play in New Jersey and I'm going to Europe with my fam in late July/Aug

 

ORNFC: So, whatever's in story for Jova will happen after that...

 

ccfan54: Obviously I'm a fan of Crystal's...do you miss working with her?

 

ORNFC: Crystal is great to work with and we had a great time.

tanyaba: How does everyone at the Studio feel about Brad being let go?

janenbosco: Totally miss Bradley

 

ccfan54: I've been reading fun things about the big Bauer barbeque/anniversary celebration. Did you have fun taping that?

 

ORNFC: Bauer bbq is always a long day for us. Shot till 10 pm that day

 

ORNFC: I can't really say it was fun...it was work

 

ornfcbarb: Are you going to sing at the bbq?

 

ORNFC: No singing at the bbq for me...but for someone else..

 

valsaari: It sounds like the reading was a hit last night

 

ORNFC: The reading was great, great fun

 

ORNFC: Good piece of theater written by one of our writers for the show

 

jordisangelprincess: Robert, do you consider the cast like family (since you've been on the cast for so long?...especially the cast members that have been there longer?

 

ORNFC: Yes, the cast is very much like a family...sometimes dysfunctional, but a family

 

valsaari: What is this about a radio show being done in your dressing room Monday?

 

ORNFC: Yeah...a local radio station will be broadcasting from my dressing room Mon am...

 

trazy2z: do you have any animals Robert

 

ORNFC: We have 2 dogs and 2 cats

 

mermaidknows: What is your favorite food Robert?

 

ORNFC: Fav food: All of it! I love trying different foods...

 

rosie4kimrobert: do you still have the same dressing room as you did a couple of years ago?

 

ORNFC: I changed dressing rooms last year...I'm on the 5th floor now near Grant and Michael OO and Ron Raines

 

ORNFC: Hey Kevin

 

glteenfan: hey there!

 

ORNFC: Yes bigger and quieter.

 

ORNFC: Now I can actually lie down on the floor full length!!!

 

trazy2z: Robert do you think that Tony and Marah are over for good?

 

ORNFC: Don't know about Tony and Marah...but I would think not

 

valsaari: Was that the dressing room you were in on the wedding story?

 

ORNFC Yes, vals..

 

ORNFC: The TLC thing was cool...strange, but cool

 

trazy2z: Could a baby maybe be in store for Josh and Reva down the road?

 

ORNFC: Oh...nooooo..no more Jova babies..

 

ORNFC: Reva has enough offsping for the both of us

 

glteenfan: Hey Robert...any news of Jon coming back to the show??

 

ORNFC: There ya go...Jon could be ours...

 

glteenfan: well I heard they were casting an All America Boy

 

glteenfan: figured it could be Jon...

 

ORNFC: No...but it would make for good story

 

adva247365: Robert...about Bill Lewis: did he travel through time or did he age into a man naturally?

 

ORNFC: LOL...Bill has been partying a bit too much, I think

 

mermaidknows: Do you have much input in the direction of your storylines?

 

ORNFC: No, mermaid...not really. By the time it gets to us, it's pretty well laid out. We change more day to day dialogue than anything else.

 

ORNFC: Kim and I adlib quite a bit and I rephrase a lot.

 

trazy2z: Are you happy the way your character is now?

 

ORNFC: Now...yes. A couple of years ago...no

 

jordisangelprincess: Did you enjoy being with some of the older cast members that came back for the wedding again?

 

ORNFC: Yes, jordi...very much so..

 

rosie4kimrobert: Robert was it your idea to read I Cor. 13 in your love scene with Reva?

 

ORNFC: I changed to that verse from what they had in the script..

 

ORNFC: They had a verse form Song of Songs...actually several verses from different chapters put together

 

ORNFC: I pointed out that Josh could not just open the Bible and read those verses like that...one from here and one from there

 

ORNFC: Also, the 2 Corninth are much more recognizable...

 

tanya_ba: How much did you adlib during the wedding?

 

ORNFC: Quite a bid of adlib during the wedding Tanya

 

valsaari: do you think Jova will get a honeymoon? I think it's safe to stay at home, nothing good happens on their honeymoons.

 

ORNFC: I don't know about a honeymoon...maybe off camera while we're away?

 

tanya_ba: How much will Reva and Josh be there for Cassie right now?

 

ORNFC: We'll be with Cassie for a few days

 

ORNFC: Sorry...too many questions...one at a time..

 

adva247365: Richard is supposed to die next Friday, but Jim Davidson will be shooting a funeral scene on the 12th and 15th of July

 

ORNFC: Don't know about JD's shooting schedule...maybe they're post taping those scenes for some reason

 

mermaidknows: Can you share with us why you became more committed to God 20 yrs ago? Or is that too personal?

 

trazy2z: As an actor Robert, how do you get the emotions to come and do you have to do the same scene over and over a lot?

 

ORNFC: On Mer's question and Traz's question

 

ORNFC: Those both require long answers...not a good format for that

 

ORNFC: It's just hard to answer the why and when of my spiritual life in this format

 

ORNFC: As far as acting and emotions go..You just get to the point where you trust your fellow actors and believe in the story

 

ORNFC: Then it all happens in a natural way

 

ORNFC: Sometimes, we're in the middle of some scene and I'll be come overwhelmed in ways that I did not anticipate

 

ORNFC: I think there's just so much history there...for the characters

 

glteenfan: I have to go...have a few things to do...take care everyone..Thanks Robert!

 

ORNFC: Bye Kev

 

adva247365: Robert, do you ever find that people get confused between Josh Lewis and Robert Newman - I mean in what they're expecting to find when they see you.

 

ORNFC: Not so much anymore, Adva

 

ORNFC: I think Josh and Robert are more similar now than they were in the past

 

ORNFC: But fewer and fewer call me Josh...

 

rosie4kimrobert: I remember I called you Josh by mistake. LOL

 

ORNFC: That's OK Rosie...you can call me Josh anytime

 

pookie101365: I am going to jump in here and say how good today's show was Robert...the emotions were incredible! Sorry I was late

 

janenbosco: Do you get any input in storyline? Cuz you've been there awhile.

 

ORNFC: Again...on story...on the big long term stuff...no. But some input on the day to day stuff..

 

adva247365: well....I need to run. Josh...ooops, I mean Robert, thank you so much for doing this - You ARE AWESOME and I LOVE YOU. Barb, thanks for the invite. Bye everyone

 

ORNFC: Take care Adva....thanks for coming.

 

ORNFC: I'm gonna have to call it a night too..

ORNFC: Teaching...

 

ORNFC: Thank you all for coming...
