QUOTES ABOUT FORBES
(Newest quotes are in bold.)

From Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio)

(on playing the Tess/Nash/Antonio story) "It's also really good for me because I get to play opposite Forbes March, who's really talented. It's just nice to play opposite another man where there's real conflict!" -- Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio), TVGuide.com 2/7/06

"I hang out with Forbes when we're here, obviously because we work together. But he's got his family and I've got mine, and those responsibilities take up time." -- Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio), SOW 9/19/06

"The last year and a half, since Forbes came on the show...I have had more fun playing Antonio in the last year and a half, two years, than I have in 10 years of playing Antonio." -- Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio), Brokerage Event, 4/28/07

"You know, Forbes brings a lot to the table every single day. So you never know what to expect from him, what you’re gonna get when you’re in front of the camera. So you always have to be prepared, got to be on your toes, which makes for good acting...makes for good drama." -- Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio), Brokerage Event, 4/28/07

From Jerry verDorn (Clint)

From Erika Slezak (Viki)

(on Viki correcting Nash's grammar) "Totally unscripted. He said it, and I said to him in rehearsal that it was incorrect. And he said, "Oh, I'm going to say it." And I said, "Fine, then I'm going to correct you." (laughs) ... It was a cute little thing between us." -- Erika Slezak (Viki), Fanclub Newsletter 7/9/07

From Kerry Butler (Claudia)

"Forbes is really fun to work with. Like me he loves to rehearse! He was also encouraging me to make crazy choices, which I chickened out of doing, but once I get a better understanding of Claudia I will." -- Kerry Butler (Claudia), SoapTownUSA.com 2/17/06

"Sometimes in my scenes with Forbes, he helps me out a lot. He's way into it over there already now. They love him over there." -- Kerry Butler (Claudia), SOD 7/4/06

(reflecting on her experience at OLTL) "I loved working with Forbes." -- Kerry Butler (ex-Claudia), SID 5/5/08

From John Brotherton (Jared)

(on joining OLTL) "The first day I worked was the poker game, so Forbes was essentially the first guy that I sat down and b.s.'d with, which was great because he sort of showed me all the tricks of the trade, gave me the tour and the whole nine, so he was super cool and we hit it right off." -- John Brotherton (Jared), SOD.com 9/27/07

(on his screentest with Melissa Archer [Natalie]) "I came out and tested with her again, but they also, at the end of the scene, brought Forbes on, Nash, 'cause I think they wanted to see how we would butt heads. Which we did, for awhile -- I mean, not off-screen. (laughs) Let me make that very clear." -- John Brotherton (Jared), Fan Club Event August 2008

(on the death of Nash and firing of Forbes) "It's a weird beast, because there's a level of guilt even though I have nothing to do with it. And you know, I love Forbes here, you know. Especially, you know, being a kind of newer guy, and having to be responsible for, you know, him going over, and being that we butted heads when I first -- he was the character that I butted heads with on the show, you know, and that it ended up the way it did." -- John Brotherton (Jared), Fan Club Event August 2008

(on the news that Forbes had been fired and Nash would be killed) "Once they knew that his contract was coming to a close, it was sort of known knowledge, but (laughs) when I found out that it was me that was hurrying the process...." -- John Brotherton (Jared), Fan Club Event August 2008

(on filming the scenes in which Nash dies) "That day was a little -- on set, we had fun, but it could be...there's a level of uncomfortable, you know, 'cause it's kind of the end of a chapter, I guess." -- John Brotherton (Jared), Fan Club Event August 2008

From Others

"Forbes and I like each other. We have a really good rapport. He's a really funny guy." -- Ilene Kristen (Roxy) SOD 9/20/05

(about Forbes) "He had really nice eyes." -- Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC), SID 12/6/05

"I read for Nash on One Life to Live and Brad on As the World Turns. I thought those auditions went well, too. But Forbes March and Austin Peck [Brad] are the right ones for their roles." -- Daniel Goddard (Y&R's Cane), SOD 7/10/07

(on which storyline she wishes her characters was involved in) "I also wish she was involved with Nash's crazy story again. It's awesome working with [Forbes March]." -- Tika Sumpter (Layla), SOD 9/4/07

(on Forbes being fired from OLTL) "It's strange, because in my mind, he's very valuable. I'm going to miss him." -- Unnamed OLTL co-star, SID 5/19/08

(on his decision to kill the character of Nash, which led to the firing of Forbes in 2008) "Look I love Forbes, and I love the character of Nash. It really was a story decision. You know when you have 30 people, and it's a show about real life, people live and people die. It was hard to write, and it was hard to watch them tape, but it is something that happens in life. ... This was a decision that was collectively made, and you will see that a lot of story does come out of it. But it's not a decision that is ever taken lightly. [The characters] are like all my babies, and I hate to lose one of them. This is nothing I am taking any personal joy in. ... I know there are people who love him and hate to see him gone. But we did make the decision to kill the character." -- Ron Carlivati (headwriter of OLTL), SID 6/16/08
