Frank Dicopoulos and Tina Sloan on "Otalia"

[Prolui]

I like the title page Frank D. as Frank C. xD

[MPH1147]

every body at the rally did great .we r keeping the light on.keep it up

[qtriste]

I realize this things....They are all a family! It is easier for an cinema actor to move on and make another movie...but for those that work together everyday maybe...with the same people for years and years...it must be so hard to just move on after you lived a life with those people and created your own friends and family there and you know everyone....it must be hard for them to just vanish away when it's cancelled! That sucks!

[imthey]

This is great... it's nice to see what some of the actors think of the "Otalia" story line, especially in light of some of the negative remarks geared towards the character of Frank. I love being able to (with this interview) separate Frank the actor with Frank the character. Tina Sloan made me smile with her excitement over the story line!

OTALIA FOREVER!

Here's hoping that we'll be given a scene in which Lillian does find out about Otalia.

MANY THANKS to OrangeYouGlad77 for taking the time to transcribe! I'm really grateful -- and thanks as well to Sonya for loading these.

[EZMist]

Awesome! Thanks for this!

Love Frank D a lot more than Frank C! :-)

Cheers to the actors on GL for so many years of amazing entertainment. I sincerely hope the Light continues to shine on.

[angelalansburyfan620]

I think the person means Natalia.

[Rosannasfriend]

poor Frank.

[CarlaFreak]

thanks so much for this!

It's nice to see what the actors think about the story!

[lambkelly]

I like seeing Frank the person behind the character... Also, it is nice to see that there is a backing of other actors on the story line.... Thanks P&G production/writers

[gatorgirl2000]

Are these segments new? LOVE IT! What a wonderful idea to see the actors' comment on this storyline. We really appreciate it, wish we had weekly tidbits like this! Thank you eLIFESoapTalk!

[BBWSTL]

I heart Tina and Frank D. If it wasn't for the angst and Frank C getting in the way of Otalia, this beautiful love story would have never been told the way it has. The acting and the wroting are so superb and I would love for Lillian to give our girls support. CC & JL are DA BOMB

[otalia4ever]

I really enjoyed watching Frank and Tina's point of views about Otalia. I agree with Tina, Girls..Go For It!!

[orangeyouglad77]

I replied to my comments, just hit view all comments to read transcript of this vid in order it was said.Or just start at the bottom :)

[orangeyouglad77]

Frank: Here is this incredible woman, I'm single she's single, I've watched her I've seen how she is with her son were both single parents shes perfect!

*GL scene audio WOD and GOL*

Lillian: The story is so beautiful I love it, I just love it! They didn't even realize what was happening til it built up and came together. You don't get that on a night time TV show, you might get that for a week, you don't get that for a year.

[orangeyouglad77]

Frank: He's got blinders on he is just so madly in love with this woman that he just, he ignores everything else all he sees is one person and one thing and he's really excited to marry her. I mean he really wants to start a family with her and start his life over again.

[orangeyouglad77]

Lillian: Lillian would go in and say "oh girls go for it, go for it!" And she really would she'd be behind them...I wish they would come to me and tell me. This is what Lillian does she would say fabulous I'm behind 100 percent I don't care it's Buzz's son you were about to marry I'm behind you, you follow your dreams.

[eLIFESoapTalk]

Hi, Orangeyouglad77,

Thanks so much for making the transcript available. Now that we know the problem is with mono speakers, we're working to make sure all audio can be on both channels.

Sonya at SoapTalk

[orangeyouglad77]

No problem. Oh and Frank D. having the same character name threw me off and I accidently wrote Lillian instead of Tina :)Thank you so much for these videos, they're much appreciated.

[eLIFESoapTalk]

Thank you! It's great to know the videos are watched and appreciated. We'll keep them coming!

[orangeyouglad77]

Frank: I enjoy her because she's strong and if you can stand toe to toe with her you'll get it in one take and all of a sudden there you go arm and off and your walking off the set and you feel good about what you did.

Lillian: For me I can't wait to get to my script and see what's going to happen next.

[LassieLo]

Amazing to know that the cast are as behind the storyline as the fans are.

[tannsolo]

HELP REQUESTED! For those of us who only have mono speakers, there is no sound of the interview, because it was sent over the second line, and we only have one line (the music).

If someone likes to type and would be so kind, it would be GREAT to know what they said!!

For doing this good deed for your sound-challenged Otaliaphiles, you receive nothing but many thanks in advance -- but , hey, gratitude is a great way to start the week! :) tandy

[LoveIsOtalia]

Hi -- ME TOO!

IS anyone willing to give us a precis of this conversation??

Kisses --

[rabza93]

Is otalia airing today ???????

Btw id really like lilian to actually act the way the actress wants her character to act

OTALIA RULES !!!!!

[tvcat1]

Tina and Frank are so enthusiastic! Just wonderful. Tina wants to get int the Otalia story too! LOL! Advise giver.

[8Pyewacket8]

Very cool vid. I love hearing the actors POV on storylines and the show they are working for...as well as their take on the characters. Guiding Light really rocks.

[saibhreas]

Frank D is a legend! I heart him so much and his absolute commitment to the storyline. Wow what a guy and a great actor as I am absolutely sure they need to delve into his self worth issues on this show before it ends or moves. Frank Cooper is very much a heart broken individual. Tina should clearly be in Otalia's orbit as I think her character would be very beneficial to the Natalia character. thank you for your input and every success to GL!

[amidola]

Can you guys read lips? I couldn't hear a word over the banj..ahm, guitars..

[rainbowpride76]

I love that so much. Its fantastic to know that the other cast members are behind Otalia and love it too! Tina, you are fabulous, and Frank D.. You know we love you, right? The story could not have worked without you. You Rock! Oh, and.. Um... SHUT UP FRANK!! :-)

Please keep up the good work everyone! PLEASE HELP US TO KEEP THE LIGHT SHINING!

[SubtextRules]

Lately, I'm finding myself proposing a lot to many of the other female casts members on GL! First Orlagh and now Tina???? Could life get any better? Seriously, all I need is Zimmer to add her "Yay" to the pile and I can die a happy woman. I love it when other GL cast members voice their support for Otalia. Not only does it make me proud, but it makes me want to support their story lines just as much as I do the girls. And I really hope Frank eventually finds love cause we love him.

[LoveIsOtalia]

Yup, we sure do.

I totally love watching him -- when I first saw Frank D and realized that many of the standard "Frank" faces don't really appear on Frank D's face, that made Frank C even MORe fun to watch; I'm not making sense, I know. I guess I'll have to throw in the towel and learn how to edit video clips so I can make an homage to Frank C's faces!

[borealis94]

Great vid! Tina is right. Primetime could never do this story justice! P&G, please save the Light!

[nina4gg]

Tina is awesome. Otalia rocks.

Frank you're a good guy

[OhYeahWellUrFace]

KEEP THE LIGHT SHINING

[LizHendricksonFan]

Wonderful thoughtful comments by Frank and Tina. So nice to know that they feel the same way as so many of us, Otalia fans. Otalia is the best story on Guiding Light right now but the whole show is getting so much better. Keep the Light Shining.

[pasoslejanos]

[cemaxwell]

Cool vid! Lillian rocks and I love that CC does everything in one take!

[hippiebpd]

Great clip thank you!. Lillian stated it perfectly, you don't get this anymore. Otalia is the best told love story ever shown on television.

[Blithedale]

What a wonderful little clip. Thank you Tina Sloan. Thank you Frank D. Thank you eLIFESoapTalk!

[nickinixon17]

WOW! Is this a new segment for this eLifeSoapTalk??

I love the commentary from both of them! Lillian's right - follow your dreams! Frank C... get the blinders off. I promise there is a woman out there for you, just not this one! :-)

[OpusOne1996]

This is wonderful! Loved hearing Frank and Tina's take on the Otalia s/l. Nice also to hear Frank's complimenting CC. Frank D is my hero! Frank C not so much so at the moment but I'll be cheering for him again when he finds a new love interest!

[xtimantax]

Im with Lillian...YOU GIRLS GO FOR IT!!!lol
