QUOTES ABOUT NASH

From Dena Higley (Former Headwriter of OLTL)

"Nash is...a man with a dream, and when Tess first meets him, it looks like he is a player. But he's not. This guy has got the savvy, the smarts, the determination and the looks. He slays the women, he's charming and debonair...but he lacks the pedigree." -- Dena Higley (then-headwriter), SID 6/21/05

(on casting the role of Nash) "We were getting down to the wire in casting the part. In fact, we actually had to slow the story down because we didn't have a Nash! I had to come up with a few extra beats in the story to stall. We were pulling waiters out of restaurants, asking if they wanted to audition." -- Dena Higley (then-headwriter), SID 4/11/06

"Nash is a one-woman guy, and that's part of the problem. He really wishes that he didn't have this myopic vision that there is only one woman in the world for him and he can't have her." -- Dena Higley (then-headwriter), SID 12/5/06

From Susan Gammie (OLTL Costume Designer)

(about Nash's wardrobe on the show) "I think he is great looking also. And I think we can dress him [accordingly]. We don't really know very much about him, other than he's clearly a striver. He obviously wants to make a lot of money but isn't there yet, but desperately wants to fit in. And I think he's trying very hard to look like he fits in." -- Susan Gammie (OLTL costume designer), SOW Online summer 2005

"It's such a Nash thing to wear suspenders. There's something about Nash that has a slightly retro leading-man quality." -- Susan Gammie (OLTL costume designer), SOW 11/14/06

From Kerry Butler (Claudia)

"He doesn't show it often, and Jessica may not want to see it, but Nash does have feelings for Claudia. He showed it after her father died and in the pier scenes...Of course, he was drunk then. He's really nice to her when he's drunk!" -- Kerry Butler (Claudia), SID 11/21/06

(on the Claudia/Nash relationship) "I like the chemistry between them when they're both being honest. Those are the times when I understand what they must have had that messed her up so badly when he dumped her. So I'm kind of rooting for her to get a grip and for him to fall in love with the new-and-improved Claudia all over again. I know, I know, that's probably a pipe dream." -- Kerry Butler (Claudia), SID 11/21/06

From Others

"I was originally up for Nash. I didn't get it and I was crushed. Then Nash (Forbes March) comes on and I'm watching. Every scene is Nash comes out in a towel, Nash gets naked, and Nash makes love (laughs)." -- Josh Casaubon (Hugh) SOW Online 9/27/05

(about Nash) "He and I have only had one scene together, but we should hang out at the bar and throw back some beers together. Well, Nash would drink wine, but yeah." -- John-Paul Lavoisier (Rex), SID 1/31/06

(on one of the biggest surprises of 2005) "I knew they would like Nash, but I didn't think they would like him as quickly as they did. The response to Nash was overwhelming, right off the bat, from the get-go." -- Frank Valentini (executive producer), SOD 3/21/06

"I don't know how far they're going to take [Nash's drinking problem]. [With] everything he's going through, I don't blame him." -- Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio), SOD 11/21/06

"Forbes won't even let me put a brush in his hair. Nash is Nash. He's the rebel." -- Laurie Cacioli (OLTL hairstylist), SOW 11/14/06
