(Eternal thanks to TheAlisonHood for the plethora of "GH" videotapes!)

THis is absolutely wonderful! It is so great to see any behind-the-scenes from GH, let along Kristina talking about it. And this is the most I've ever heard the actress talk about her own personal life. It's so nice to hear her speak from the heart!

@auselena I thought the same thing. She's so candid here, I found it very interesting. And she looks absolutely fabulous to boot.

From Kristina herself on her fackbook, in response to when they started dating:

"‎1986...the very end of the year...off and on...and yes, 1993..divorced now though. Two handsome boys! June 28 at 8:07pm"

Ugh, I still hate that they got divorced and he's still dating Heather. I never cared for Heather!

@lpressman321 Cont'd from previous: they also said they wanted to keep their relationship private from costars at first to avoid putting undue pressure on their relationship, and that they really didn't want the premature labor story(with maxie) to continue too long b/c they didn't want to create bad karma around their baby. the producer at that time respected their wishes. I'll write you separately about the 98 interview. too much for a comment block!

@lpressman321 several that i would like to have are sold out for now, but i was able to get the one from 12/25/90, 2/14/90 (which is just a recap of f&f's love story up to them getting back together after frisco returned from the dead), and one from 1/5/98. in the 12/25/90 one, the feature was on real-life soap couples, and the "instinctively attracted thing" was the main point, but their first date was a movie--neither of them could remember which one ;). Cont'd in new comment

[lpressman321]

@salimahp973 I always wanted to order those back issues to see what they said about each other back then, but i never did! Any otehr dirt in there?! Im jealous u have them, u have to give us the scoop!!! ;)

[salimahp973]

by the way, that "the camera doesn't lie" part wasn't in the quote. the full quote was "we were just instinctively attracted to one another." just is a small word, but there's a lot of weight in it. :)

[salimahp973]

Ladies, i wanted to wait until i could offer some type of concrete statement about this re: kristina not feeling jack "that way" off the bat. i didn't necessarily think that anything in this interview precluded that, because there's what you say and there's what you feel. but, i recently ordered some back issues of soap opera digest. in the 12/25/90 issue, after their first child was born, they both admit: we were instinctively attracted to one another. the camera doesn't lie.

[lpressman321]

Wow, its s nice to see her so candid! I wish it was longer! She seems as if she was very grateful, u never see this side of her, cause shes was so reluctant to do interviews. But I agree at this point it doenst seem that Jack was on her mind!

@auselena you took the words right out of my mouth ..for i also seen her in other interviews & she never talked as much or said as much as she does here in this interview...it just makes it very clear once again she was not into jack { at the time}& as to why she started to date him after his return...for i will always wondered when SHE fell for jack for it seem obvious that it was HE who liked her 1st before she realized it herself a couple of years later
