I got this call that they wanted me to join this cast. They called it a family show, and it thought that it would be similar to all family shows. I wasn't sure about this until I watched some tapes, and was amazed.
When I was writing Razor Girl, I thought it would be fun to have a redneck TV family that was really just a bunch of actors who had to be trained to be rednecks. That's not so farfetched, if you know how Hollywood works.
I miss my 'Facts of Life' family. But I had been preparing myself to leave the show for some time before we called it quits.
This is going to make me sound 100 years old, but I really loved David Cassidy in 'The Partridge Family.'
I'm loving being part of the 'Saturday Night Takeaway' family. I'm in my element chatting to random strangers and taking them back to the studio - in a helicopter of all things.
I stay in touch with a lot of the cast - Jess Fox, Jen Metcalfe and Nikki Sanderson and probably more that I've missed out. It's a cliche, but it really is like a family at 'Hollyoaks.'
For almost five years on 'Happy Days,' I have had a mom and pop and a brother who give me advice and help me just as my own parents and brothers and sisters do at home.
All of us from 'The Waltons' still love each other. I think we're closer than some real families.
The 'Cheers' family seemed like my family.
My years on 'Family Matters' were precious to me. During the run of the show, I saw many births, deaths, weddings... The actual family on the show became my family.
