OTHERS ON BLAIR AND OTHER CHARACTERS
[Quotes in bold are new.]

About Blair & Nora

(on what story she would like for Nora) "I think somehow or other, with this whole John/Marty/Todd situation, I'd like to see Nora and Blair go at it because Marty is Nora's best friend and [Blair's] shtupping her man. ... But I would like to see that quadrangle be more of a 'quintangle.'" -- Hillary B. Smith (Nora), SOD.com October 2008

(about Blair singing at Bo and Nora's wedding) "You know perfectly well we didn't invite her to the wedding. They had to bribe her to come and sing." -- Hillary B. Smith (Nora), ABC.com OLTL Episode Commentary June 2010




About Blair & Tea

(about Blair and Tea) "There have been similar situations where they're both really, really angry at each other, but I don't think either of them, consciously anyway, wants to toss the other person out a window." -- Florencia Lozano (Tea), SOD 10/13/09

(about Blair and Tea) "They have such an interesting relationship with each other. ... And it's got that Viki and Dorian quality to it, in a way, as they hate each other." -- Ron Carlivati (headwriter of OLTL), SOW 5/4/10

(on Blair and Tea's relationship changing after Tea's cancer diagnosis) "Tea would say that they are helping each other literally survive. Tea doesn't really have the luxury of hiding behind her ego or hiding behind her [facade of,] 'I don't want to be friends with you, because we've been competitors in the past, and blah blah blah.' All that superficial stuff is sort of wiped clean, because she's facing her own mortality. Blair has really shown up for her in a way that surprises Tea, but that she needs. She might not have known she needed it, and would never have asked for it, but she's really grateful to have it." -- Florencia Lozano (Tea), SOW 6/22/10

(on Tea/Blair's friendship after Tea's cancer diagnosis) "In some ways, it's my favorite thing that has come out of this storyline -- getting to have a really good friend in Blair. I don't know what will happen in the future with Blair and Tea, but my hope is that what is happening between them will always be there. However many twists and turns there are, the better." -- Florencia Lozano (Tea), SID 8/9/10

(on Tea asking Blair to take care of Dani) "It is such a relief to have someone who Tea trusts. It really breaks Tea's heart that Dani is not going to have Tea in her life, so to know that Dani will have a woman in her life who she can go to, who she can trust, who she can confide in, is a huge relief to Tea. The hard part is the dying part, the leaving part and knowing her daughter's going to be without her. The fact that she can go to Blair is a huge relief for her." -- Florencia Lozano (Tea), SOW 8/10/10

(on why he chose to "kill" Tea) "It allowed us to really deepen the [Blair and Tea] relationship." -- Ron Carlivati (headwriter of OLTL), SID 9/6/10

(on Tea's cancer story) "My favorite part of that storyline was the relationship between Tea and Blair. I love that so much -- rivals that came together. I'm almost tearing up just thinking about it, because it was so emotional and so beautifully done." -- Brittany Underwood (Langston), SID 12/13/10

(on whether Tea and Blair's rivalry is over) "No, no. It will never be over. That's what keeps [their] relationship rich." -- Florencia Lozano), SID 8/22/11

(on Tea's reaction to Victor's death) "She does plummet a bit and it could be defined as severe depression. Blair is there to sort of tell her, 'Well, you don't have a choice because you have a daughter and life goes on.'" -- Florencia Lozano (Tea), SOD 9/13/11

(on missed opportunities with the two Todds story) "I think there were scenes between Tea and Blair that could have been interesting. For Tea, I felt like she knew deep, deep down that this man was a different man. And to have her explore that would have been great drama; in the way that we lie to ourselves and then we can't anymore, then what happens?" - Florencia Lozano (Tea), Michael Fairman on Soaps 1/6/12




About Blair & Others

(on his hopes for Miles returning to the show one day) "I'd love it if Miles could finally get a love interest. While I was there, people wanted him with Blair, and it looked like he might be with Natalie for a while." -- David Chisum (Miles), SOD 12/1/09

(on Blair taking Dani under her wing after Tea's "death") "It really breaks Tea's heart that Dani is not going to have Tea in her life, so to know that Dani will have a woman in her life who she can go to, who she can trust, who she can confide in, is a huge relief to Tea." -- Florencia Lozano (Tea), SOW 8/10/10
