TV4, ABC Affiliate Interviewer: Cindi Rhinehart, by telephone. (Shows
scene with Patrick and Marty, where Patrick admits his true love for
Marty.)
Cindi Rhinehart: Oh, I LOVE this guy.
Please welcome Thorsten Kaye. (applause) Now, hi, Thorsten! How are you?
Thorsten Kaye: Cindi, I'm doin' all
right. How('re) you doin'?
Cindi Rhinehart: Oh wonderful now, that
you're on the phone. You know, I just learned how to pronounce your
name. I'm sorry I said "Thorsten" but the "h" is silent, right?
Thorsten Kaye: And it's Cindi, right?
Cindi Rhinehart: Yes, it is! You got it
right darlin'!
Thorsten Kaye: Well, good, we're even
then!
Cindi Rhinehart: Are you actually from
Ireland?
Thorsten Kaye: I'm not. No, I'm from
England.
Cindi Rhinehart: From England. Where?
Thorsten Kaye: Where in England? London.
Cindi Rhinehart: London?
Thorsten Kaye: Yeah, it's a small fishing
village south of Northhampton.
Cindi Rhinehart: All us women are on our
way if you'll meet us there.
Thorsten Kaye: Really?
Cindi Rhinehart: And speaking of going
there, you are . . .Patrick is going to Ireland, right?
Thorsten Kaye: Yes, he is.
Cindi Rhinehart: And we've got Bo going
there, correct?
Thorsten Kaye: Yeah, we're going
together. Actually, . . .you know what it's just the next set over, but
they make it look like Ireland.
Cindi Rhinehart: Of course they do.
Thorsten Kaye: Yeah.
Cindi Rhinehart: So you'll be taking
Blair maybe?
Thorsten Kaye: Um, you know, I can't tell
you that.
Cindi Rhinehart: You can't? I can tell
you. (in a sing song style) I know she's going!
Thorsten Kaye: (laughter)
Cindi Rhinehart: That's my prediction.
Thorsten Kaye: No, yeah, she is. She's
gonna go. We're not going together, though.
Cindi Rhinehart: Oh.
Thorsten Kaye: Different planes. She's
got her own plane, as you know.
Cindi Rhinehart: Of course! She's filthy
rich! Now tell me about the on-screen chemistry between you and Susan
Haskell. How is it working with Marty?
Thorsten Kaye: Well, how do you think
it's working?
Cindi Rhinehart: I think it looks
fabulous!
Thorsten Kaye: Well, that's all you need
to know, then, isn't it?
Cindi Rhinehart: And I think you should...
Thorsten Kaye: (laughter)
Cindi Rhinehart: Wait a minute! Who's
doing this interview?
Thorsten Kaye: Oh sorry! No, I've gotta
tell you Cindi. She's one of the best actresses I've ever worked with.
Cindi Rhinehart: She is a wonderful
actress.
Thorsten Kaye: She's lovely.
Cindi Rhinehart: How about Kassie Wesley?
She also is wonderful.
Thorsten Kaye: Yes, she is. It's a
completely different character, and you know, you were talking about...
I was listening to this when you were doing this thing (talking about
the scene that was shown on tv before the interview started)
Cindi Rhinehart: Yeah!
Thorsten Kaye: I got to listen to it on
the phone... and romance is --it's very hard to find, in real life as
on the soap and the story I have with Susan is so powerful that it's
really hard to be matched by anything. We'll see what they come up with.
Cindi Rhinehart: Do you think they're
going to have Blair kind of rope you into a twisted romantic plot to
get back at Marty?
Thorsten Kaye: Now, do you know this?
Cindi Rhinehart: Pardon me?
Thorsten Kaye: Do you know this already,
'cause you knew the last one.
Cindi Rhinehart: Yeah, well, actually,
you know, I have a feeling she's gonna go for it.
Thorsten Kaye: Well, I think she should!
Cindi Rhinehart: What brought you to OLTL?
Thorsten Kaye: Ah, you know what, I was
doin' theater in Detroit for three years, and um, I was asked to do a
soap before, and it just didn't seem like a good idea. And then Susan
Bedsow Horgan and I met, and she's the executive producer, and she came
up with this great character and I just thought it would be a good
think to do for a couple of years.
Cindi Rhinehart: Well, I can tell you
this much, Thorsten, a lot of characters that come on the show, they
come on and they build their storyline. You came on with a blast and
everybody's loving it! I can tell you that! That much I surely know!
Thorsten Kaye: Well, thank you Cindi.
It's lovely of you to say that.
Cindi Rhinehart: Are you single?
Thorsten Kaye: I am, yes.
Cindi Rhinehart: Oh!
Thorsten Kaye: Are you making an offer or
what?
Cindi Rhinehart: Yes.
Thorsten Kaye: (difficult to hear) Do you
have money?
Cindi Rhinehart: An offer? But... but
wait! An offer, Thorsten,. I was going to ask you to come to Seattle
Thorsten Kaye: Uh huh.
Cindi Rhinehart: but my husband probably
wouldn't like that, so how about if I fly to New York?
Thorsten Kaye: How about I come to
Seattle and we'll just keep it hush hush?
Cindi Rhinehart: Bingo! (applause) But
all seriousness aside, Thorsten, you're doing a wonderful job. Please
tell Susan and Kassie we said "Hello!"
Thorsten Kaye: I certainly will.
Cindi Rhinehart: Thanks so much.
Thorsten Kaye: Thank you.
Cindi Rhinehart: Bye bye!
Thorsten Kaye: Bye bye!
