Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Charo
Q: How did you get on the show? What was the audition process like?
The regular stars were considered for auditions, and in Fred's case he had to prove himself with a screen test; Shel notes that the others were offered the role first but declined, and Fred ultimately landed the part after persistence and timing.
Alison Arngrim
Q: How was your experience getting onto the show? What happened?
Her breakthrough on Love Boat came after opportunities through auditions and a fortuitous moment when a meeting about episodes preceded her becoming a guest on the ship, with the production choosing her for Becky Daniels after initial auditions and the producers recognizing her fit for the character.
Q&A, pt. 1
Q: Why didn't Gopher and Julie become a full-time couple?
The hosts suggest that keeping Gopher and Julie from pursuing a continuous romance allowed space for a wider array of romances among the other crew and preserved the ensemble chemistry of the show.
Judy Norton
Q: So tell us about how did you get the Waltons? What was that experience like for you?
Judy Norton discusses the audition process for The Waltons and how she secured her role as Mary Ellen.
Garrett Morris
Q: What did your grandmother say when you said, hey, I'm working with Harry Belafonte?
She did not express anything directly, but Garrett's success is colored by their complex relationship.
