Michael Sabatino, I don't know if you'll see this comment since I watched this after it aired, but I loved your relationship with Erik von Detten as Nicky. It was so believable and endearing.

👍💛👍

[@EricWare1]

I'm so glad I found this. I'm currently watching classic episodes of Michael on Bold and the Beautiful. And of course, he's wonderful. Both he and Crystal were great on Days as well.

I'm glad you found it as well, Eric. I hope you enjoyed it.

Lovely to see them both ! Such a beautiful loving couple! Absolutely adored them as Lawrence and Carly ! They had spectacular chemistry on screen and Louise was such a great foil. Michael was mesmerizing as Chip on Knots Landing ! Congrats on 26 years ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Alan, a heads up, Warner Brothers just converted Dallas to HD and put it on streaming and they're also working on converting Knots! Don't know the time table, but once the HD conversion is complete it'll be streaming and hopefully on dvd.

[@TheLocherRoom]

That's so exciting. Thank you for the update.

[@Chase4everChase]

Alan, I was late in arriving for this awesome interview with Crystal and Michael. I really enjoyed watching them and you sharing such happy and wonderful memories. It seems like only yesterday when they both performed on _Days Of Our Lives._ Thank you for always providing such outstanding interviews, Alan. 🙂 (Chase)

[@TheLocherRoom]

My pleasure, Chase. I am so glad you enjoyed it and most of all I hope you are doing well.

[@Chase4everChase]

@@TheLocherRoom -- You are always so good to me, Alan, and I greatly appreciate you. If all celebrities treated their fans like you do, this world would be a much, much better place for all of us. 🙂 (Chase)

[@benjaminautieri9606]

❤ another incredibly warm wonderful special episode spent with extended family💯👍👏 Truly a special interview❤

[@TheLocherRoom]

Right? Loved having them. More married soap couples to come.

[@cijidunne1356]

Great interview! It's a crime that Knots isn't on streaming or DVD (other than the first two seasons). It's pretty well known that it's due to the music licensing cost for all the songs that Lisa Hartman covered on the show as Ciji and Cathy (the characters that Chip killed and was, accidentally, killed by). All those 80's hits would be expensive to re-license and were not written into the original agreements as no one had any idea of the future media distribution platforms that would come later.

[@TheLocherRoom]

Love your name. Thanks for watching.

[@barnabasjosettefan]

I love these 2! Been watching since she was Carly and he was Lawrence!

[@sandramaltby3690]

Great interview!❤️

Thank you, Sandra!

[@maybethlichaa8733]

A classy, loving couple. And another fantastic interview. Alan you ask the questions I would love to hear.

[@TheLocherRoom]

I'm so happy to hear that, Maybeth.

[@derekclancy6916]

I remember one of Crystal Chappell's (Olivia Spencer) first scenes on Guiding Light. She is rifling like a madman through Reva and Josh's hotel room in San Cristobal looking for something about why Reva came back to the island nation after so many years and saying: "Why have you come back?" She then looks at a picture of Reva, Josh, Marah and Shane and comments on it saying "You already have a loving family, why must you have everything!?"

[@TheLocherRoom]

😂😂😂 Thanks, Derek!

[@brandondavenport6147]

I wish they were back on days of our lives

[@TheLocherRoom]

Wouldn't that be nice!

[@mjj1434]

Interesting how they got together as a couple in a real life. How the “connection” lasted. I love to hear how couples get together. They look good as well now, even several years later.

[@TheLocherRoom]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@JJ-um5ec]

Another great episode! Great actors and couple.

[@TheLocherRoom]

Thank you so very much!

[@patriciareyes7561]

I love Crystal Chappell from her time on Days and when she went to GL oh goodness she was so good over there as well. I remember Michael from Days as well and his time on AMC, both really great actors. Thanks for this.

[@TheLocherRoom]

You're so welcome, Patricia. Thank you for watching.

[@kathleencorson-lh3pz]

They're known for their Days of Our Lives characters Lawrence Alamain and Dr Carly Manning/Katarina Von Loauchner.

[@TheLocherRoom]

They sure are, Kathleen.

[@derekclancy6916]

I think the Olivia Spencer character took the place of the Annie Dutton character when Signy Coleman left Guiding Light in 1999. What I mean by this is that Olivia was a rival for Reva just like Annie was.

[@TheLocherRoom]

What a lovely pair.

I didn’t know they married! I loved Carly but wanted her to be with Bo. Lawrence was a great character. Always loved how smooth he was.

Great interview with a great couple! Michael has been on every daytime show I remember seeing him a lot! Crystal has always been great since the first time I saw her on GL, she was great. Her and Natalia pairing I didn't know if they would be accepted even in the 2000, but they were and it worked. Wishing them continue success, Michael needs to be back on one of the remaining soaps, I can see him being paired with Jess Walton on Y&R!

[@mysterio1570]

I think that MS would make a great Tucker. He would be the right age.

They are so cute!!!! ❤️

They really are. I couldn't agree more, Amaya.

[@richill4545]

Would Love to see Crystal back on Days as Carly. If she can’t do FT. How about when they bring Bo back Carly is the Dr to get him out of his coma, and ends the conflict with her and Hope

Soap Sweet ontv at this time wow Godloveyou much

Unfortunately the interview appears to confirm Crystal’s relationship with Peter Reckell has well and truly gone south. Such a shame as they had an incredible onscreen relationship back in the 90s and during Peter’s stint on Venice.

[@TheLocherRoom]

🤷🏻‍♂️ I didn't get that impression.

[@amayabaker5809]

@@TheLocherRoom I’ve heard those rumors, but I don’t get that impression. And even if they doesn’t take away from their amazing chemistry and story. We can all still love them onscreen and appreciate them off screen as well. Who knows anything but these actors love and respect each other even if they aren’t besties.

[@johngibson3914]

I'll never understand why Day killed of his character. What a waist.

How is Michael now? I heard he has an illness

[@TheLocherRoom]

I didn't know that -- I hope that's not true.

@@TheLocherRoom Crystal mentioned in one of the give money to Venice videos that they were moving into or building a place that is all on one floor for him.
