Crystal Chappell showed up to “shoot the ’schmootz”. We had a delightful conversation that was both entertaining and enlightening. I hope you enjoy the exchange as much as I did.
Hit the “toggle full screen” at top right corner for best viewing.

Two back to back compelling interviews.
It was great to hear the answers to such interesting (and in some cases simply fun) questions.
This piece again brought out the person you were interviewing.
How great of Crystal to give you such honest answers. Can’t wait for Venice and I can’t wait to read what you have planned next.
That’s just bizarre that cheek kisses were censored. What the hell? Though I have to say that the lack of kissing is only about 4th on my list of problems with the storyline. I thought the pregnancy, with the way it inserted Frank into what should have been the climax of the romance plot, was the most offensive part. EW and JLH may not have been behind the kissing ban, but I doubt the networks micromanaged to the point of forcing Otalia’s reunion scene to be at a sonogram with Frank, their last scene alone together to be about Frank, for the baby to be named after Frank, etc. Everything about it was a huge mess.
Thank you for that. Enjoyed Crystal’s candor. And the fun questions at the end were great. It just makes me incredibly sad it all ended this way. Audra, the way you summed up the problems with the storyline are so on point. Just a disappointment all around.
I save everything I can of Crystal on my hard drive and am disappointed I have no way of copying the awesome article you did with Crystal Chappell. The only way for me to save this article is to print out a hard copy, which is a waste (and which I would have to find somewhere to store.) And once you shut down your site, we’ll loose this interview.
I tried doing to print screen but the picture of the pages but they are too small to read, I can’t read the writing.
I’m frankly disappointed.
crystal chappell is smart and that is why i will be watching venice, and well cause her and jess will, well u know kiss and such
Great interview! Thanks for this. I so appreciate Crystal’s honesty. She is a class act all the way.
I am hoping for some Venice recaps because I have so enjoyed your Otalia ones!
WoW!!! That was a GREAT interview… the one that I wanted to read. I love you Blog!!!
I have never seen a love story that had me on the edge of my seat like Otalia. Even with all of the problems, I was just glad they ended up together …
Excellente interview!. Love Crystal so much (and of course Jessica) for giving us so wonderful performances that although we didn’t see an on-screen kiss we definitely saw the love!
And we did get our happily ever after and that’s so much better than a whole lot of other stories got (dinah and shayne anyone?)…
This is a very honest rewarding interview.Thank you so much Crystal.
Keep doing the good work.
