I so miss seeing Kristen on TV. What an amazing actress she is. I watched her grow up on OLTL and move on to GH. It's so sad she's not on anymore. I'm SO glad to see her on SOM.
I think everyone can agree that we need Kristen back on GH as Starr. Her energy is so infectious and vibrant that I feel like she would make the audience fall in love with her all over again 💛🙌🏼
My mother watched ABC soaps so I grew up watching them in the late 70s and I never stopped. I watched Kristen gown up on TV and have gotten to know her and Taylor really well over the last year. I can tell you this is Kristen. She is always so positive and carring. She is truly a great person and a great friend. Thank you Mo for having her on.
My God, she is so beautiful, so grounded. Her parents sound like AMAZING people. They did a great job, I can't imagine how incredibly proud they are of her. So shocked to hear of her brother's cancer 😢. That had to be so rough but her attitude about it, wow. What a great interview. Made me just love her even more. I watched her on OLTL from day 1 and all the way through her time on GH. Sending so much love & light to her and her family.
Kristen, it was wonderful to see you. It would be so amazing to have you back on GH. Of course playing Star would be the absolute best with Roger Howarth as Todd. That would be a dream come true bc you two are magic together. However, just to have you back on our screen would be amazing. If it’s been to be, it will be. Please know that you are enough. You don’t need to impress or please anyone. You be you, and everything meant for you will come. Take care my sweet!
I miss One Life To Live! I wish we could have kept Starr and Todd on GH! Glad we still have Roger! I miss Blair too, it's really nice to see you Kristen!
Todd is still on GH and has played multiple characters. He just can’t legally be Todd anymore. Star’s character never left her even when she played Kiki it didn’t seem right!
Throughly enjoyed your interview with Kristen!! I remember her playing Starr! Watching her grow up on One Life to Live. Her personality is completely different than I thought it would be. I thought she would be a real Diva. Kristen you are a gorgeous, down to earth, refreshing young woman. You are a true treasure!!! Thank you Maurice!!!
I'm so thrilled to see this interview with Kristen. I remember when she and Eddie were little kids on One Life To Live. I'm also from the Philadelphia area and like many others in this area have followed their careers and have always wished the best for both of them. I'm glad to see and hear that they're both doing well in their lives. I have the same kind of relationship with my brothers that Kristen has with Eddie. In the case with our family I was the one who had cancer and my brothers were the ones who would keep me going and laughing. Ironically enough my cancer also went into remission five years ago right around the time our beloved Eagles won the Superbowl.
We can all learn a lesson from Kristen; keep positive and keep the faith! Find the joy in life even through the difficult times is so valuable. There are many reasons to listen to this podcast and I’m so grateful to be a fan of Maurice’s work which led me here. I do hope she makes it back to GH.
Such a great interview. It is rare to see a child actor transition to adult life so successfully as Kristin. It was a pleasure to watch her as Starr on OLTL and GH, and I hope to see her back on tv in the future.
Thank you so much for having her on! I was a massive fan of Todd and Starr on OLTL, and I miss watching her. They are the reason I started watching GH when they moved over. She's grown into a lovely young woman, and I'm glad she's doing well 😃
Maurice thanks for having Kristen on State of Mind. I have watched her on One Life to Live from the beginning and when they canceled the show I was so sad. When they brought her character of Star on General Hospital that gave me so much joy. I miss seeing her on the show but I understand her loyalty and missing her family and wanting to be back home. She is so humble. You can tell by her pass relationships and future she has really grown to be an amazing person. 🥰🇨🇦
This was a very enjoyable episode. I admire you, Maurice for doing these interviews as it keeps my mind from wandering places that triggers my anxiety. And. Kristen is so bubbly and happy even tho she has been through so much. I admire her for sticking by her brother’s side all through his cancer battle. It sure isn’t a piece of cake. I feel for her, as I know what it’s like. I went through 5 years of cancer battle with my son when he was 8. The dr’s said he would never have kids , but hey he has 4, and is 41 years old! Thanks to you and Kristen for a super state of mind today ❤️🙏🏼👏🏼
I watched Starr from when she first came on One Life to Live, throughout the ending of the show, then onto General Hospital playing Starr first, then to Kiki! Watching her literately grow up on screen, & seeing her now & listening to how her life was growing up & all the things she went through & did is SO AWESOME!! THANK YOU for such an AMAZING interview you did with her! She is j😢ust as ADORABLE today as she was as a wee little girl! God Bless her, her brother & the rest of her family!! ❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful person Kristen is, I love how warm & open she is , she is a special woman & such a sweet sister to do what she did for her brother, Maurice you always do an amazing job interviewing guests on State of Mind , this show was one of your best ❤❤😊
Definitely did not hesitate to press play when I saw Kristen as your guest. She is remarkable. A kind and positive human being. I loved your energy together. Great show!
Love this. I always been a fan of Kristen. She has been our beloved Starr. And i loved her on GH. This was so great. Being able to catch up with her life.
What a great interview, Maurice. I thoroughly enjoyed catching up on Kristen's life. I watched her on One Life to live and then again general hospital. What I am most amazed add, is how grounded, how family-oriented, and how she never left her brother's side when he was going through his chemotherapy treatments.❤ Kudos to her parents for raising such an amazing girl.😊
Love this interview with Kristen !! Miss seeing her on Gh .. have followed her since OLTL when she was 6 years old. Love her philosophy on life and that she realized the importance of family at such a young age!
Great interview with Kristen, wonderful to see her thriving! I've watched her career since she was a little girl and loved her portrayal of Starr. Her dynamics with Roger Howarth was so sweet and touching.
That was a great interview it's nice to see she's doing well and is so down to earth. Love her outlook on life and challenges. What a great example of humility and love. Great respect for her not thinking she's above having a regular job.
OLTL fans watched Kristen grow up. We adore her. She's more than enough. When Starr was a spoiled brat, it was humorous and made us laugh. When she started having grownup stories she was a huge part of OLTL history. Her scenes with Todd and Blair were always amazing. Her scenes with Asa are legendary.
I just loved this episode! Kristen is just such a sweet girl! She is so bubbly and positive and down to earth and grounded. I'm so happy she is doing so well and also so happy her brother is cancer free! Her parents must be so proud of her! She has such positive energy she just lights up the room! Absolutely love her! ❤
Good morning from Utah. It's a beautiful Sunday morning hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to hear what Kristen's been doing. Watched her as Star for years.
Such a level headed young lady. I give so much credit to her parents and family for being there for her throughout her life and career. She has taken care of herself and kept herself family oriented which has kept her in the right place. It was a pleasure listening to her.
It's good to see Kristen has a great head on her shoulders, given her background. I definitely miss seeing her on the screen and hope I get to see her again. I am also glad I got to meet both Kristen and Eddie a few times when they were on OLTL...between the OLTL Fan Club Luncheons and she was at one of the MAW Foundation charity events I attended in the early 2000s. It doesn't surprise me how close she is to her family because her mom was with both of them at every event they participated in while on the show but never acted like the ultimate "stage mom", but just let them do what they needed to do when representing the show. It is also evident from this conversation that both she and Eddie were raised to be down to earth people, in spite of being famous at such young ages. Thank you , Maurice for this State of Mind conversation. And I wish good things for both Kristen and Eddie.
She is an absolute joy and looks absolutely fantastic. She is such a bright light. Thank you for having her on, Maurice! We need more of her positivity in the world.
I was so excited to see that she would be on State of Mind. What a breath of fresh air! I really miss her and OLTL. One of my favorite eras was when they were doing High School Musical scenes. Not only is she an incredible actor, but she has a gorgeous singing voice! Her talent needs to be back at GH. Ahem, all Nurses Balls!!! Fingers crossed we’ll see her on any show sometime soon! Much love! ❤
I just got the opportunity to watch this week’s episode. I have always loved Kristen. She was amazing as Star! And I still love Kristen Alderson!! Thank you both for this. I grew up watching One Life to Live and General Hospital. Seeing the two of you together brought tears to my eyes!
Just wonderful to be able to catch up with Kristen. Always loved her on OLTL and GH. Wish she was back on. Kristen, You ARE enough! You should be proud of all that you have accomplished! Thank you Maurice for having her on your show. Hope you will have her visit again.
Loved Kristen and miss watching her as Star and Kiki .I really love that I caught her here .Shes an amazing person.Wishing her a wonderful life going forward .Thank you Maurice .You as always are amazing yourself 💛
Phenomenal human beings the Alderson family! Her sense of family love is beyond words. The love her and Eddy share is so special, not typical of most siblings. Fantastic actress from 6 years old as I've watched her on OLTL from her 1st day til her last day as Kiki and can imagine the Emmys & Oscars and all the other accolades to be bestowed upon her in years to come🎉🎉 The biggest and best award will be for her sisterly love she shares with Eddy❤ Congratulations to her Mother & Father on raising such special humans, and thank you for allowing them to share their phenomenal gifts with us!! Now come to Ann Arbor Michigan with your Musical, PLEASE?🙏 🙏 Great State of Mind today!!
Agreed. There's nothing more I can say to what you just commented on. Kristin is a beautiful young lady to be aspired by. I have faith that no matter what she comes up against she will face it head-on with truth faith and courage and a side order of laughter 🙏❤🎉
It was great to see you two catching up. I watched her grow up on OLTL and then the move to GH. Her parents have instilled a positivity and grace in to her and her brother to forge ahead . Hope to see her back on GH in the future also.
Thank you Maurice 4 this amazing conversation with Kristen!!! I loved her positive vibes after everything she went through with her brother having cancer & leaving the show!! I wish I could be more positive like her shes an amazing role model. I cant believe she became a waitress & enjoyed being young again with her friends. Its so great to hear whats shes been up to. Miss her as Starr & on GH!! ❤ Loved this!!
WOW an incredible interview she's so beautiful. I'm so happy to hear that her brother does not have cancer anymore. It was so wonderful how much she stood by his side. Thank you for having her on State of mind.
Absolutely amazing to catch this one as it premiered. Thank you, Kristen, for being such a light! Mr. Benard, I’ve been watching State of Mind for a while and it’s spectacular. Thank you for all you do. 🙏🏾
I have watched every episode of State of Mind, have never written to you before, and didn’t watch One Life to Live so I don’t know Kristen as Starr. However this has been one of my favorite episodes. Thank you Kristen for your openness, your vulnerability, your honesty, and your courage to be yourself. Thank you Maurice for letting her playfulness and positivity shine and for sharing about Paula. May she and Kristen’s brother remain cancer free. ❤🙏🏻
Kristen and Anthony Geary are both my birthday buddies! I think she said my mantra "Rejection is Protection " in a different way when things don't work out for whatever reason, whether we figure out the reason or not. It was great to see her, and I just started following her on Instagram.
Thank you for having Kristen on. I Love her so much. I watched her since her first day as Star on One Life to Live. Then as Star & Kiki on General Hospital. She's still so beautiful and amazing. Inside and out. Love you Kristen ❤ Love you Maurice ❤
I remember years ago Kristen had a fan club that I was in and she sent me birthday cards, tons of pics and notes and it was the sweetest thing ever. Even after a few years of not paying to rejoin she would still send me birthday cards and stuff. She really is good to her fans and I will always admire her for that! Congrats to Kristen on her engagement!
Kristen is an amazing person. It’s so amazing to have your parents be in your corner to always take you where you need to go. God bless her and her family. Thanks Maurice for having her. Keep up the great work you are doing Maurice. Love State Of Mind💙💙
Loved the conversations you and Kristen had! I'm currently going through cancer treatments and what Kristen said about having a positive mindset with her brother's cancer treatments resonated with me so much. I'm trying to have a similar mindset. It is what it is and I'm going to do whatever I can to make the best of it.
So I live near that Chickies and Pete's and I have to say how much we love Kristen here. My mom worked at a BJs Wholesale Club here in Philadelphia and years ago saw you and your brother there. You are grounded and beautiful...We do miss seeing you...
Maurice that was a fun interview with Kristen. She is a great actress & am looking forward to one day seeing her on GH or anything else she really wants to play. Love State Of Mind. You have such a great way of interviewing people. Keep up the great work.
What a wonderful enjoyable episode. I watched Kristen grow up on OLTL and then watched her on GH . She knows what she wants and is grounded in family and that’s a very good thing. Here’s hoping maybe we will see her again on GH. Thank God her brother survived his cancer, I agree with the way they went about it, better positive vibes, when I had cancer my family tiptoed around me and I told them not too that if I was going to be here a short time let’s celebrate! I’m CancerFree 23 years later! Thank you Maurice you always have a show to make us think, laugh, smile, cry. Thank you Kristen for coming I have enjoyed watching you grow up over the years, you were a wonderful guest
What a great interview. I enjoyed watching Kristen grow up on OLTL and also enjoyed her time on GH. Always such a big talent even at a young age. This is the first time I have seen her interviewed and it is so great to see what a lovely and positive person she has turned out to be. Such a fun interview - thanks!
This was a good state of mind it was so good to hear what Kirsten has been up to I do hope she goes back to General hospital I did watch her on one life to live and on General Hospital Wish her the best in life and hope everything goes great for her and her family thank you Maurice Bernard for state of mind I hope you have a good day with your family stay safe i’m looking forward to next weeks episode love you
She has such an infectious smile! 😊 Such a delightful young lady. Like the rest of you, i watched her as Star Manning, Todd's daughter, on OLTL. She's great! Thanks again Maurice! Great interview! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I always wondered what she was like. Somehow she got the golden ring of stability and groundedness. Really interesting and uplifting interview!!! Thanks so much!
I've had such trauma in 7 months...its horrible My daughter passed away...My therapy kitty of 13 years just passed then my ex boyfriend oh and family thinks I should be fine...I am not oh Maurice thank God you're here you are amazing ! GH is the best love ya ! ❤
I had watched OLTL off and on since the age of 13 (long story) so it was a "given" that I would watch GH when I learned that Kristen, Roger, and Michael would join the cast. I am SO hoping she comes back to GH even for a limited run someday. Mo, Thank you for having her on today. This is one of the best interviews ever. :) Props Brother.
That is so amazing to me. I grew up watching everyone from 1985 on and on till present. I truly remember everyone's different characters but I did not know I was looking at the same people. Everyone is just that great at their craft. Wow. Amazing accomplishment on behalf of all cast members. Thank you for all that you do that gives the rest of us hope and courage. Strength comes from knowing you are not alone. We tend to forget that while we are in the midst of our own life circumstances. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
What a great interview; especially since I'm also from the Suburbs of Philly. It was so cool to hear her reference places I'm familiar with. As for her initial decision to move out to L.A., we all make decisions we regret at one time or another; but I'm glad to hear she's in such a good place now. Miss her on GH though.
Kristen looks and seems great. Seeing her grown up made me miss OLTL a lot. She's the Kimberly McCullough of that show--we watched her grow up, working alongside Roger Howarth and Kassie DePaivia. Legendary!
Absolutely love Kristen. I grew up watching her on One Life to Live and then a few years back we exchange a small Convo on Instagram and she sent me one of her CD's and I just love and cherish it. She is such a sweet and amazing and talented young woman!!
Just so you know Maurice & Kristen I am watching this!! Kristen thank you for the like on Twitter!! I so remember you on OLTL & GH!! Sending much love to you both!! ❤️❤❤
This was a fun interview, Maurice. It's great to see Kristen again. She's grown up into a beautiful young lady. I would be thrilled if Kristen came back to GH as Starr Manning or even be a recast as Lulu Spencer.
I so miss seeing Kristen on TV. What an amazing actress she is. I watched her grow up on OLTL and move on to GH. It's so sad she's not on anymore. I'm SO glad to see her on SOM.
I’m a in
Remission thank you for the positive chemo

I tuned in hoping she was doing well! She reminded of Punky Brewster when she played little Star. What a storyline she had and she was such a Star!
Thanks 😊
Same here❤❤❤
I really enjoyed your video. Kristen is such a good actress and fun to listen to. I hope see finds her way back to tv.💕
She's one of the best soap actresses, Thanks for getting her on Maurice
❤❤❤
Totally love her❤
I think everyone can agree that we need Kristen back on GH as Starr. Her energy is so infectious and vibrant that I feel like she would make the audience fall in love with her all over again 💛🙌🏼
Thanks
Yes
OMG, it was so good to see Kristen again. I so miss seeing her on TV. Her and Todd were a hoot together. What a lovely person.
I loved watching her on One Life to Live. She is wonderful.❤
I met Her at Super Soap Weekend in Orlando many years ago! She’s beautiful and all grown up!!!! 🎉❤
I love the little Starr!!!! I miss herEVERY day at 1:00, when the show used to be on.
My mother watched ABC soaps so I grew up watching them in the late 70s and I never stopped. I watched Kristen gown up on TV and have gotten to know her and Taylor really well over the last year. I can tell you this is Kristen. She is always so positive and carring. She is truly a great person and a great friend. Thank you Mo for having her on.

Thank you
I'm totally blanking out -- who did she play on OLTL and GH?
@@maggiemann5189 Starr Manning on One Life To Live and Starr and the first Kiki Jerome (brunette Kiki) on General Hospital.
I never met her dad, but her mom is such an absolute sweetheart and so are Kristen and her brother, Eddie, and Eddie fiancee, Sylwia. 💖
@@maggiemann5189Starr Manning on OLTL and Kiki on GH.
Lean into the positive. Kristen Alderson is a gem !! Thank you so much Maurice for having her on. This interview was so freaking good.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kristen was awesome as Star on One Life to Live. She did a awesome job on General Hospital.
More people should be like Kristen. She is such a great role model with her positive attitude and joy. This was a great show!
Kristen, it was wonderful to see you. It would be so amazing to have you back on GH. Of course playing Star would be the absolute best with Roger Howarth as Todd.

I miss One Life To Live! I wish we could have kept Starr and Todd on GH! Glad we still have Roger! I miss Blair too, it's really nice to see you Kristen!
Todd is still on GH and has played multiple characters. He just can’t legally be Todd anymore. Star’s character never left her even when she played Kiki it didn’t seem right!
Couldn't agree more!
@@MBStateOfMind Now that the lawsuit is over they should bring all those people back.
Throughly enjoyed your interview with Kristen!!
I remember her playing Starr! Watching her grow up on One Life to Live. Her personality is completely different than I thought it would be.
I thought she would be a real Diva. Kristen you are a gorgeous, down to earth, refreshing young woman. You are a true treasure!!!

It was great to see you two catching up. I watched her grow up on OLTL and then the move to GH.
Her parents have instilled a positivity and grace in to her and her brother to forge ahead . Hope to see her back on GH in the future also.
Thank you Maurice 4 this amazing conversation with Kristen!!! I loved her positive vibes after everything she went through with her brother having cancer & leaving the show!! I wish I could be more positive like her shes an amazing role model. I cant believe she became a waitress & enjoyed being young again with her friends. Its so great to hear whats shes been up to. Miss her as Starr & on GH!! ❤ Loved this!!
WOW an incredible interview she's so beautiful. I'm so happy to hear that her brother does not have cancer anymore. It was so wonderful how much she stood by his side. Thank you for having her on State of mind.
Thanks
Your welcome Maureen ☺️
God bless you for bringing mental health on your platform for everyone.
Thank You
What a great interview. Best wishes to Kristen and whatever she does next.
Absolutely amazing to catch this one as it premiered. Thank you, Kristen, for being such a light!
Mr. Benard, I’ve been watching State of Mind for a while and it’s spectacular. Thank you for all you do. 🙏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a fun episode. Loved seeing Kristen again. I watched her on One Life To Live and loved her on General Hospital. Wish she would come back to GH.
Thanks
Thank you MB for this episode! I need Starr and Todd back on GH
You and me both!
Outstanding conversation between the two of you! Inspirational, loving and true self conversation! Much happiness to you both!❤
Thanks so much!
I have watched every episode of State of Mind, have never written to you before, and didn’t watch One Life to Live so I don’t know Kristen as Starr. However this has been one of my favorite episodes. Thank you Kristen for your openness, your vulnerability, your honesty, and your courage to be yourself. Thank you Maurice for letting her playfulness and positivity shine and for sharing about Paula. May she and Kristen’s brother remain cancer free. ❤🙏🏻
Thanks 🙏🏽
Kristen and Anthony Geary are both my birthday buddies! I think she said my mantra "Rejection is Protection " in a different way when things don't work out for whatever reason, whether we figure out the reason or not. It was great to see her, and I just started following her on Instagram.
❤❤❤❤❤
What a ray of sunshine! Great interview, Maurice! Kristen was an absolute delight.
Thank you for having Kristen on. I Love her so much. I watched her since her first day as Star on One Life to Live. Then as Star & Kiki on General Hospital. She's still so beautiful and amazing. Inside and out. Love you Kristen ❤ Love you Maurice ❤
I remember years ago Kristen had a fan club that I was in and she sent me birthday cards, tons of pics and notes and it was the sweetest thing ever. Even after a few years of not paying to rejoin she would still send me birthday cards and stuff. She really is good to her fans and I will always admire her for that! Congrats to Kristen on her engagement!
Thank u so much for having kristen on state of mind! She's still beautiful!
Kristen is an amazing person. It’s so amazing to have your parents be in your corner to always take you where you need to go. God bless her and her family. Thanks Maurice for having her. Keep up the great work you are doing Maurice. Love State Of Mind💙💙
Thank you
Great conversation as always, She's a great story teller
Thanks for listening
One of best interviews what a little light in the world. She is still amazing.
Great conversation! Great to see Kristen again. So talented and beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really hope she comes back to GH when it's right for her. ❤️ She's the best!! Loved this episode
Ain't gonna happen she said she doesn't want to live in California
I was traveling and missed this!
I love her!!!
Miss her!
Happy for her.
Loved the conversations you and Kristen had! I'm currently going through cancer treatments and what Kristen said about having a positive mindset with her brother's cancer treatments resonated with me so much. I'm trying to have a similar mindset. It is what it is and I'm going to do whatever I can to make the best of it.
Thanks 😊
Fantastic actress! Another FABULOUS guest! Ego free & so humble! Love Kristen! She needs to find a fantastic series to be on!
So I live near that Chickies and Pete's and I have to say how much we love Kristen here. My mom worked at a BJs Wholesale Club here in Philadelphia and years ago saw you and your brother there. You are grounded and beautiful...We do miss seeing you...
Maurice that was a fun interview with Kristen. She is a great actress & am looking forward to one day seeing her on GH or anything else she really wants to play. Love State Of Mind. You have such a great way of interviewing people. Keep up the great work.
Thanks 😊
What a wonderful enjoyable episode. I watched Kristen grow up on OLTL and then watched her on GH . She knows what she wants and is grounded in family and that’s a very good thing. Here’s hoping maybe we will see her again on GH. Thank God her brother survived his cancer, I agree with the way they went about it, better positive vibes, when I had cancer my family tiptoed around me and I told them not too that if I was going to be here a short time let’s celebrate! I’m CancerFree 23 years later! Thank you Maurice you always have a show to make us think, laugh, smile, cry. Thank you Kristen for coming I have enjoyed watching you grow up over the years, you were a wonderful guest
Thanks 😊
What a great interview. I enjoyed watching Kristen grow up on OLTL and also enjoyed her time on GH. Always such a big talent even at a young age. This is the first time I have seen her interviewed and it is so great to see what a lovely and positive person she has turned out to be. Such a fun interview - thanks!
❤
This was a good state of mind it was so good to hear what Kirsten has been up to I do hope she goes back to General hospital I did watch her on one life to live and on General Hospital Wish her the best in life and hope everything goes great for her and her family thank you Maurice Bernard for state of mind I hope you have a good day with your family stay safe i’m looking forward to next weeks episode love you

Another fantastic episode Maurice!! I loved seeing Kristen Alderson!!! I loved her on OLTL and GH!!! Hope you have a wonderful week!!!👏👏💜💜
This one might just be my favorite bc you can see how good of a person that she is, it’s really good to see.
She has such an infectious smile! 😊 Such a delightful young lady. Like the rest of you, i watched her as Star Manning, Todd's daughter, on OLTL. She's great! Thanks again Maurice! Great interview! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Oh I just love seeing this one! Love, love, love you both
I always wondered what she was like. Somehow she got the golden ring of stability and groundedness. Really interesting and uplifting interview!!! Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it😊
I've had such trauma in 7 months...its horrible My daughter passed away...My therapy kitty of 13 years just passed then my ex boyfriend oh and family thinks I should be fine...I am not oh Maurice thank God you're here you are amazing ! GH is the best love ya ! ❤
God bless you.
@@karendegraaf1146 Thank you ! 🙏
Sooo enjoyable catching up with "old friends"!
I had watched OLTL off and on since the age of 13 (long story) so it was a "given" that I would watch GH when I learned that Kristen, Roger, and Michael would join the cast. I am SO hoping she comes back to GH even for a limited run someday. Mo, Thank you for having her on today. This is one of the best interviews ever. :) Props Brother.
Thanks ❤
That is so amazing to me. I grew up watching everyone from 1985 on and on till present. I truly remember everyone's different characters but I did not know I was looking at the same people. Everyone is just that great at their craft. Wow. Amazing accomplishment on behalf of all cast members. Thank you for all that you do that gives the rest of us hope and courage. Strength comes from knowing you are not alone. We tend to forget that while we are in the midst of our own life circumstances. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I live Kristen. I’ve followed her on social media since she was in first grade with my daughter. Maurice, great interview as usual. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 😊
Good afternoon Maurice.I am looking forward to state of mind. With Kristen Alderson👍❤️
What a great interview; especially since I'm also from the Suburbs of Philly. It was so cool to hear her reference places I'm familiar with. As for her initial decision to move out to L.A., we all make decisions we regret at one time or another; but I'm glad to hear she's in such a good place now. Miss her on GH though.
Thanks
Kristen looks and seems great. Seeing her grown up made me miss OLTL a lot. She's the Kimberly McCullough of that show--we watched her grow up, working alongside Roger Howarth and Kassie DePaivia. Legendary!
Thanks 😊
Absolutely love Kristen. I grew up watching her on One Life to Live and then a few years back we exchange a small Convo on Instagram and she sent me one of her CD's and I just love and cherish it. She is such a sweet and amazing and talented young woman!!
Just so you know Maurice & Kristen I am watching this!! Kristen thank you for the like on Twitter!! I so remember you on OLTL & GH!! Sending much love to you both!! ❤️❤❤
This was a fun interview, Maurice. It's great to see Kristen again. She's grown up into a beautiful young lady. I would be thrilled if Kristen came back to GH as Starr Manning or even be a recast as Lulu Spencer.
Such a sweet young lady and very down to earth! Stay genuine to yourself!
