Welcome to #NBC-Live!
Tonight we are talking to of the stars of the hot new daytime drama
Passions Travis Schuldt is making his television debut on
Passions in the role of Ethan Crane, the handsome heir to the Crane
dynasty. Travis recently graduated from Texas Christian
University with a degree in theater. Lindsay Korman is an accomplished
vocalist who has been singing since the age of 11 and
has won several national vocal competitions. She plays the dynamic
role of Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, a teenager who dreams
of a life of luxury as Mrs. Ethan Crane. Welcome Travis and Lindsay!
Guest-trevor23: How did you get the job on Passions?
Travis: I auditioned first in Dallas, Texas. That was back in September
of 1998. Then in the beginning of November, they called
me out to do a test out here in Los Angeles for Passions. I found out
in December of 1998, that they wanted to use me, and
then I did my final test in March, and I found at the end of April.
Lindsay: My character was one of the last cast, so I auditioned
in April of this year. I screen tested two times and within the next
24 hours, I found out I got the job. This occurred all in April.
Persisco: For Lindsay Korman----- Because of your vocal skills are
we ever going to see you sing during an episode?
Lindsay: I'm not sure at this moment because the show is brand new.
I think the main goal is to establish everyone's character. I
think that's what Jim Reilly, the creator, wants to portray. Hopefully
in the future!
Starstruck: Have you been on other tv shows before?
Travis: No.
Lindsay: No
Soapfan: What's been the most fun thing about working on Passions?
Travis: It's so fun! The whole thing is fun! I think working with all
the actors and meeting everyone. It really brings us all
together and we get really excited.
Brandi347: What's your favorite thing about your character?
Lindsay: Having the real life human beings portray the characters on
the screen and seeing how they come across. You never
know what they will expect and watching everyone play out their characters
is very exciting.
Travis: Loyalty to my family is the most favorite thing about my character.
Lindsay: Her innocent determination is my favorite thing about my character.
Dkoch485: What music do you listen to?
Travis: The Flaming Lips
Travis: Beethoven, Miles Davis and John Coltrain
Lindsay: Dave Matthews is my favorite
Passionprincess: since the show is so new...do they give you a "history"
of your character? Where they came from, what their
influences are? So you know how they'll react and how they'll talk
in a scene?
Travis: They gave us an outline of our characters, but what's most
interesting is that this show is all starting from the beginning
and being created from there. That is what is unique about this daytime
drama--the history. We are discovering the history
through the development of the episodes. It's very interesting being
a part of the process.
Lindsay: Because it is new, we have the ability to develop the character.
There are no pre-conceived ideas of the development
of the characters. It is a very natural, human conversation to some
degree.
TeresaCrane: Lindsay and Travis- I love tuning into you everyday. I
think you're scenes are hilarious. What do you guyz think
of the couple of Theresa and Ethan?
Travis: Ethan and Theresa are so different.
Lindsay: We've come from two different backgrounds. He's never met
me before and I know everything about him, so we are
both opposite.
Daisymarie: How has your life changed since you got the role?
Lindsay: I'm just working all the time. I've gone from alot of free
time to working, developing my character, memorizing my
lines, performing my lines. It's been exciting all the time. I'm on
a never-ending adrenalin roller-coaster!
Travis: I think what's changed is that it is very exciting to actually
get a job in this industry when that's what I've wanted to do
for a long time. It's changed my life completely to get something that
you've been working and waiting for.
Ibee : Do you know who designed the red evening gown Ivy was wearing?
Lindsay: I don't know.
EthanLover: Will the PASSIONS cast be having any NY fan events??
Travis: You never know! Hopefully! We will give you plenty of notice,
and you will be able to find out at
www.nbc.com/passions
TchanNY99: Question for Lindsay Korman: I love your portrayel of Theresa
and I think her scenes are funnier and sometimes
not funnier by every day. I was wondering if you have an OFFICIAL site
for yourself, were thinking about one, and if I can run
your official site? Sincerely watching Passions,
Lindsay: Right now, the website is the www.nbc.com/passions My bio
is on that site. Perhaps in the future, I will have another
one.
Passions1: What do you think of Theresa's diary?
Lindsay: I think it is just another extension of Teresa's mind in regards
to Ethan and Gwen. It is also fun to extend the story off
the show. It is updated every day.
Veggieamanda: There are some cast members listed at NBC's Passions
site who haven't been shown yet. When will they
appear?
Travis: Keep watching, and you see them before the end of summer.

people after being aired for only 7 days?
Lindsay: We are all working hard and we're happy that everyone likes
it...and we are thanking God.
Helena: You guys are great actors...do you ever get nervous on the
set while filming certain scenes?
Lindsay: Every day, I still get some kind of nervousness. It's more
like excited energy than nervousness. I always want to do a
great job, for everyone.
Theresafan: Will the supernatural aspect affect your story at all?
Travis: I don't get as nervous as much as I used to. You have to control
the nervousness and re-direct it as energy.
Lindsay: Because we film an episode a day, we constantly have new material,
which keeps us on our toes.
Lindsay: We can't tell if the supernatural aspect will affect the story.
You'll just have to keep watching!

to get where you are? Was it all worth it?

on this new, great, daytime drama.

and we enjoy our scenes together. And...she's a good
kisser!

Lindsay: No, I consider Theresa an innocent, naive 17-year old girl,
that is just in love.

and writers who dream of being involved in the
industry someday?
Travis: Never give up your dreams. Keep working on it. There is always
something around the corner.

Travis: Paint, milkshakes and barbeque sauce. I had to wear these things
all day.

Travis: It covers all economic classes. It is for everyone
Weckmann: How many hours do you have to work on this show every day?
Lindsay: The schedule varies but it can be as few as 3 hours or as
long as 12 hours, depending on the story line and how much
we are shooting that day.
Helena: Lindsay-I read somewhere that you won a renowned beauty pageant...in
what ways has that affected your life?
Lindsay: At the age that I competed in beauty pageants, I felt it gave
me poise, stage presence, and the ability to find myself
when I was in front of an audience. I was really young when I competed
in beauty pageants.
MANDILION: If you could work with any actor or actress who would it
be?
Lindsay: I'd actually like to work with Julia Roberts.
Travis: Willem DaFoe
