Guiding Light in Orlando: Crystal Chappell, Jessica Leccia, and Frank Dicopoulos discuss Otalia

[mj319651]

I actually liked Frank here more than the character he plays. That being said, I'm a HUGE Otalia fan. I had not seen this before. Thanks for posting.

[1023bry]

Jesus Frank, shut up!!

[Prolui]

I liked this interview. LMFAO Frank D. getting all of his words in, Jess tries to answer the questions, while Crystal sits back and just kinna soaks it all in. xD

[storm705]

There will never be a Frank button...unless he makes one for himself....gaddddd! clueless!!!

[chayserd]

CC and JL both give a look at 2:10 that is exactly the same - probably both thinking, ok shut up now frank.

[Teeluvslove]

@chayserd LOL, That's true--it looks like they have the same thought.

[happykt]

Its weird how much Frank is like Frank the character, ie clueless, self centered and who thinks the whole world spins around for him. Otalia is Crystal and Jessica, NOT FRANK!!!!!

[happykt]

Again, Frank is a yakking wanker who hardly gave Jessica and Crystal the opportunity to get a word in edgewise about their own storyline. Incredible! And for those who said that Crystal is a stuck up diva, you ppl couldn't be more wrong.. I've met Crystal Chappell in person, and spoke to her too. She not only incredibly gracious and charming woman but humble too. And like a lot of women, once a guy starts yapping his mouth off about himself, she let's them babble and doesn't say much.

[66andreadler]

@happykt ya nailed it :) And I really think she was tired just needed a lill bit sleep ...I mean after an 8-10 hours day on work I am also tired....so it is normal cause this woman is an human beeing and not a machine??? Am I right or right? XDD

[ingu1]

I agree that CC is being unusually quiet for this interview and can only summise that she is happy to share the limelight and give someone else a chance to talk about Otalia. What I find particularly interesting is the difference between JL and Furtz. JL talks mostly to CC, glancing at the camera. Its like she is sharing her thoughts with her. Furtz pretty much talks exclusively to the camera, he's not really interested in their opinion.

[happykt]

The real Frank is just as much as a blowhard in RL as the fictional one. He hardly let Crystal and Jessica speak!

[longtee30]

I though the lesbian story was tasteless. Frank is a terrific actor and seems like a nice guy.

[lovestoned45]

Yeah I don't know people might assume from this interview that Crystal is a tad bit of a diva but I don't see her being like that at all!!! I mean come on she spends like 10 hours a week on a plane, 24 hours being jet lagged, working, being with the fam, lives off red bull!! She's a effin super hero in my books. She's allowed to be tired for an interview once in awhile

[fromelina]

I just have to say - LMAO at all the anti-Frank comments. I don't dislike the actor, but geez, he could have let the girls talk a bit! He went on and on and on...

[ralucaandrada]

3:47 "and I didn't expected..." that look that CC and JL exchange speaks volumes. Is it just me, or it seems that every time they look at each other they speak without using words? It's like there's much more than what they are saying.

[scifiacid]

Jeez, as soon as FC steps into the frame he takes over the entire interview. His telling the entire story annoyed me to no end. *kicks FC out of the way*

[aprilliz04]

cc does look distracted but ...2me it was very gracious. I wish they were flirting but they seem like they just get along. JL probably reveres CC bcoz she has so much longevity in the business.

[riakoneko]

oh, what I wouldn't give to be that water bottle in JL's hands :D

[wywo101]

Why do I love the fact that CC used the word personification? LOL

[sofialindsay]

Someone please shut Frank the fuck up so the ladies can talk!!! Since when did he become an expert on the Otalia relationship?!!!

[janemansfield73]

Jessica is gorgeous and gracious. I love her!

[realfloozy]

okay, i'm probably going to just get hammered here. but i think crystal can act like a bit of a diva sometimes....YIKES!!!!!

my DIMPLES, on the other hand, is ALWAYS gracious and sweet as candy. and she looks so damn sexy in that purple dress i needed a cold shower after watching this!

[clubfloozy]

i don't give a shit. i just don't want frank to talk, i just want to listen to my DIMPLES!

[Peache1Keen]

Crystal did act a little standoffish here. I wonder what was up. I assume she was annoyed at Frank. :)

I think in real life, the consensus is that CC is a lot of fun and down to earth. You are right that JL is just as sweet as can be. Adorable woman. You can't help but like her.

[GlenBulb]

By all appearances, CC doesn't have a diva-ish bone in her body.

[sufficateme]

Fuck ,their is nothing so annoying as a jessica leccia fanatic.I laughed when someone on twitter tweeted that you can tell a leccia fanatic, because they are loud rude and obnoxious,lol.

[clubfloozy]

hi, i would be the loud, rude, and obnoxious one, i guess.... WTF did i ever do to you???

[realfloozy]

actually, it waz me, not my sister that you said waz annoying... still wondering.. what did i or JL "fanatics" ever do to you, dude? and what iz it about u that iz zo special that you feel that you can attack people for no reason?? let'z hear from you now, if you're not too "annoyed" to respond! thankz!

[mzzzhedison]

Gawd. I hope *I can be perfect 24/7.

[Peache1Keen]

I have come to the conclusion that Frank D just plays himself in the role of Frank Cooper.

[mrwarrior2001]

I wished Frank would just shut up and let CC and JL talk!

[shokolade134]

CC IS HOT!!!

[clubfloozy]

OMG, i can't believe how HOT my DIMPLES looks in that tight purple dress. when she flashed that button i damn near had an orgasm!!! LOL!!!!

what a fox. and they say that my DIMPLES will be back on the show august 3... YAY!!! i just love my DIMPLES, she's so yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[209Ann]

I think you're a spoiler , Frank !!!! don't kid your self !!!!

[rabza93]

Lmao can't he stop talking ??? I like the actor and the man he is but come on !! give'em the time to pronounce at least a sentence without interrupting !!!!

[ingu1]

The girls are sooo funny, and Frank just bores the shit out of everyone trying to insert himself in this interview. Fcuk off man!

[ingu1]

CC always looks so composed when she's playing Olivia, but actually she's got a lot of nervous ticks - here she plays with her earrings, and in the Advocate interview she plays with her rings. Shows her sensitive side. She is also gracious in including Frank Dicopolous in this, even though she must know her fans HATE the Furtz!

[BradamantKnight]

She says herself that she is very close friend's with him so I don't think the fact that we dislike his character means much of anything to her -- except to make her more inclined to insert him into interviews and be gracious.

[xtimantax]

yeah...but she has to realize that the fans will feel annoying if Frank talks soooooooooo much in an interview concerning otalia...I like Frank D too, but come on!

[evanescencefan2]

those TWO are beautiful together and JL and CC are great too ^^ lmao

[pcp1980]

Please somebody hit that dude with his water bottle...he is so annoying

[Peache1Keen]

Vongellio2194, that is hilarious. The look at 3:03. LMAO. Wow, for actresses they are not hiding their true feelings too well, are they?

[vongellio2194]

lmao, i LOVE the look CC and JL give Frank when he's talking at 3:03, i can't stop rewinding to that part, lol. CC looks annoyed and JL looks terrified, haha.

[evanescencefan2]

lmao JL had to speak fast before Frank started talking again XD

[myrnaturner]

If Crystal Chappell realizes the value Frankie D has in this storyline why can't her huge fanbase?

[209Ann]

Love CC she is so hot !

[Peache1Keen]

This is way too close to the show. The real Frank D steals the attention from CC. Annoying as hell. Shut up, dude!

[chapeloflove123]

Love Crystal she is SOOO gorgeous!

[chapeloflove123]

great!~

[Dixenhll69]

Shut up Frank - enough already.. Let the girls speak, we want to hear CC and her sexy voice ... WOW CC looks amzing, she is such a beautiful woman - absolutely stunning!!!!....

[carolm007]

No wonder Frank plays his part so well... he's just as boring in real life! I think he's trying too hard to be considered partly responsible for the popularity of Otalia. He is, in the way he helps build our need to see the girls together...but Christ, I wish he would have let Crystal speak. Jessica kept looking at her, hoping she'd interject something, but Frank kept babbling...damn frustrating.

[abcsoaps]

frank is annoying here isn't he? POOR GUY.

[beachbumm6]

OMG...watch this vid on mute ok..(CC & JL are toooo cute w/the looks back and forth and all of that) Then, right around 1:26 the cam pans to Frank who steals the show..look how annoyed they look at him LOL

[beachbumm6]

shut the f up furt. pan back to cc.

[ralucaandrada]

Every single time Jessica says she didn't expected how the story will evolve, she looks at Crystal (3:05, 3:45 and 3:59) just like in the show were they have those moments when no words are necessary, one look it's all it takes.

[Callie4ev]

JL looks at CC alot when shes trying explain something. She also does that alot on screen, its almost like their in character, WhERE YOU wanna say Shut up Frank! I'm kidding I love Frank D, I just wish CC had got more words in.

[ElLoca69]

JL's boobs ARE HUGE lool thats cause shes pregnant

[jellybeanlou]

0:54 cc is sooooo checking out jessica's boobs lol i think then she puts on her sunglasses, cos we know the camera never lies ;)

[549621jon]

CC so HOT with those glasses on.

[RebelBelizean]

oh yes she is..but hell she is hot anywhere with anything on

[549621jon]

OMG. every time Frank starts talking my computer starts fast forwarding it.

it's reading my mind. LOL :P

[mztenda1]

"say yes jessica" omg....i cant stop replaying that one part. luv CC

[543black87]

these 2 just have so much chemistry together it is unreal and the flirting off screen is great they are very close they always have that look between them even off camara they are so protective of each other and the way they look at each other just melts the heart otalia all the way and they are so sexy

[0088662]

Jessica keeps glancing at CC and Jessica's boobs are ginormous, jeezums...

[pasoslejanos]

3:12 I can not comment on the other stories .. ...

!Thank YOU! gosh ..we have enough

[rabza93]

Yeep Just when she says "That feels different"

[pasoslejanos]

OH  Frank!!... are you OTalia?

just a question?

[BradamantKnight]

Come on guys, just because Frank Cooper is a putz, don't be hating on the poor actor, He is supporting Otalia so he should get points for that! I mean, playing the putz is a tough job but somebody's got to do it. LOL.

[BradamantKnight]

I heartily repent of my defense of FD. After hearing that he thought there should have been MORE Fratalia and thank FC and Olivia should have hooked up during the Nataway I have concluded he is more than a bit deluded and clueless about Frank Cooper's importance. Yikes.

[wywo101]

3:03 Shut Up Frank CC was about to answer the question.

[psychomonkey113]

CC and JL needed to talk more, Frank I dont have a problem with ya but you aint Otalia!!!..jeezz, boy can he yappppp!!!!!!

[Nobra200]

Oh come on, he's a really nice guy!!

[msfantasticopr]

jaja they are totally makign fun of him!!! like dude its about OTALIA and not about frank and natalia!! :D jajaja :) I did like frank though he made a solid story interms of dividing olivia and nat for the angst :) but now I am sooo ready for a kiss between them!

[jellybeanlou]

they seem very uncomfortable with frank there lol. Shut up talking so much you loser! cc looks bored at the end lol x

[nyce0405]

OMG CC n JL need to stop flirting they are off camera XD JK i love these too together !!

[lambkelly]

HOW COULD THEY NOT MAKE CC THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE INTERVIEW????????

SHE IS SO HOT!

Frank actor is the same!!!

[Litigatorcat]

and really, Jessica has been looking so miserable about how Frank Dis breathing all the air, and CC is not even trying to get a word in edgewise, that at 4:54 JL looks over at CC ( who has been cut out of the shot) sooo sheepishly, like "are you mad? please don't. be.."

Oh please Furtz..please go a-way. This is CC and JL's moment in the sun..can't he be gracious?

[Litigatorcat]

CC seems completely distracted or pissed....

[traw6052066]

cc seems to have a genuine shyness to her; jl is just vibrant and radiant; frand d. i like the guy but please be a gentleman and let the ladies speak

[pasoslejanos]

A couple of comments:

SERIOULSY ..STOP THE FLIRTING ....HAHAH .....NOT THAT I MIND...you are killing me...

I am seriously IN LOVEEEEEE!!!!!! with C.

I love JL ... 1:07 so funny, the way she laughs ...

CC 0:56 i don t look good in purple....oh no pleaseeeeeeeeee my darling ...being the way you are makes you one of the most beautiful people.

And Frank D. I like you alot ....but let them talk....f.i. = 3:02

[lorius222]

if you watch around 2:50 jl does rolls her eyes in a roundabout way. Its amusing.

[msennui]

i know..she looks bored when frank talks... i wanted to hear more CC, less frank...i'm sure he's a nice man...interesting how he gushed on about the love story like he was their biggest fan...i get the feeling watching them that JL and CC put alot of themselves/personalities into their characters, that it's not all acting...

[niners559]

I'm sorry but I hate Frank!!

[RebelBelizean]

it seems as if Crystal is nervous and doesn't realize how freaking awesome and goregous she is..like she has no clue how awesome she really is

[freedon64]

jessica is sooo pregnant !

[proud2Bprude]

Yes, chatty Cathy Frank is cute.

[RebelBelizean]

frank was talking wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much..really

[savammy]

wish someone would save this show from cancelation in september.jeers to cbs .this show has been on forever.somee other network please pick this up

[fromelina]

It's so cute how JL keeps looking at CC whenever she's answering. They seem very comfortable with each other, which is probably part of the reason why the chemistry is SO good on screen.

[Ahveyda]

I don't know, but it looks like Natalia's eyes did around 2:50. Hehe

[xRaex21]

he just kept talking and talking and talking.

[schpool]

CC seems really nervous and fidgety in all of her interviews, but she's so fricking awesome that it actually amplifies her charm. man what can't that woman do?

[tobiasfunk3]

it seems like CC is kind of flirting with Jessica.... :)

[spashleypaigealex]

thats what i thought. like when she said that she really looks good in purple.

[nikskorpio]

Well she certainly did swoon when Crystal said she looked good in purple. But who wouldn't swoon from a compliment by Crystal Chappell? lol

[spashleypaigealex]

lol. i know!!

[PozoBlue]

God Jessica's dimples simply send me overboard and make my knees go weak, lol

[tav2252]

WHOA HOOO!!! Jessica's knockers are huge. Almost as big as Crystal's! I'm LOVING IT!!! :-D

OMG....Did Jessica swoon a little when Crystal told her she looks good in purple?....And is it just that Jessica isn't used to doing interviews or is she actually nervous or flustered around Crystal?....Im not tryna start no rumors but uhhh seems like something is going onnnnnnnn...lol

[mztenda1]

i agree with you...almost all of the interviews i saw of them to they are so connected. JL is always flustered around CC and CC seems to be looking down at JL a lot...don't know if its the height difference or is she looking at sum else...lol. they are great together on and off screen.

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

CBS just canceled the show. It's going off the air. And it won't be the last one. Many of the Soaps are in trouble.

[SubtextRules]

*Swoons* I had such a terrible day and the minute I saw this, all was so much better! *Sigh* How cute are Jessica and Crystal? And look at our Dimples and her baby belly. I'm so excited to see pictures of her kid.

[gypsygirl999]

notice how jessica got a little tongue tied when chrystal stared at her with those eyes? lol and is that fratalia fan serious???

[djshiva]

Aw, this was cute. And I love how Frank is so into it as well. Still...NO TOUCHING, FRANK!

[spawnycat]

This interview makes me love Frank D. so much. I know he has to play clueless Frank C. on the show, but he seems like such a sweetheart!

[janemansfield73]

A beautiful love story.....It certainly is...(deep sigh).....

[RobinHF1013]

I fell in love with CC when she as on DAYS in the early 90s... This storyline ROCKS, although it's gonna kill me... Love Frank D.... HATE Frank C.

[pasoslejanos]

I really like CC.... if she gives me one of those looks ...i ll dieeeeeeeeee

[allison6071]

Great interview and great video!! I hate that Frank D is not as popular as the girls he's a great guy!!! I love you Frank D!!!

[kgriffithm]

i like how jessica looks to crystal when shes talking and how the camera person doesnt really want to put frank in the shot, hehe

[alixsb]

Jessica "It feels different" It most certainly does girl....

[alixsb]

They're so much like their characters...accept for one thing of course! Love these women... they deserve some much applause!

[chocherits]

at 1:14 to 1:21  they sound as if they were in character... I mean with the little joke about the color..

[abbafan69]

I shouldn't be thinking this, but Jeebus..JL boobs are HUGE!!!  are there pine cones big enough to hide them and the baby bump?

[YuriFanGirls]

haha omg i said exactly the same thing!

[mikka2005]

I know right, mean no disrespect AT ALL, but being preggers suits this lady beyond belief. Her face is just so beautiful all full and stuff and yeah those boobs, they are gigantic and fantabulous :D

[FantumGrey]

I'll admit, I too was captivated by that sight...and was it me or did the camera person sort of stay centered on that as well?

[sarah080203]

We asked the Fratalia fans if they wanted to make buttons, but they were both busy that day.

[kd1x]

ROFLMFAO!!

[hersupremepinkness]

LMAO!!! Nice.

[fromelina]

Hahahaha. Good one.

[otalia4ever]

I agree with Frank D, Otalia is a beautiful love story. Great interview!

[otaliaforever]

Sorry but Crystal Chappell would look good in ANYTHING!! She is a GODDESS!

[8Pyewacket8]

Thanks for posting all of these vids! I cannot help myself but get more and more into all the storylines going on...they are a great cast.

[torchic]

Thanks for this :)

[minikooper7]

"We've got plenty." oh no... more angst to go. And I'll probably love/hate every minute.

Thanks for the video!

[amused10]

Thanks for this. Otalia rocks, need to find Frank a new woman.

[Penske037]

thanks for all your coverage of the cast of GL at universal. i'm a proud member of BPD who drove 9 hours to see crystal and jess and frank. i am so thankful to have found this story and this time. and i hope there are many, many more opportunities for me to thank these wonderful actors, writers and the show. frank got it right. it really is a beautiful love story.

[kmer519]

Otalia all the way!

[gheekchik1]

Thanks for this video!

[ThenYouStand]

I'm a Frank/Nat fan. Can't help it, they're adorable..
