ABC
treated fans (and the press) to a three-day extravaganza at Disney-MGM
Studios in Orlando, Fla., Nov. 10-12. Here [is one of] ABC's funniest men
with [his] take on all the shenanigans.
Thorsten Kaye
Zach, All My Children
WEEKLY: You get a huge reaction, from fans down here.
Kaye: That's because I ride the motorcade with my fly open.
WEEKLY: What's been your favorite thing with [daughter] McKenna
so far?
Kaye: She loved the princess breakfast. Those princesses are
really going places. They're going to get their own castle one of these
days.
WEEKLY: Have you gotten a lot of feedback on the Kendall/Zach
cover you just did for WEEKLY?
Kaye: Feedback for me is usually my boss saying, "Thanks for
not embarrassing us so that we have to apologize to a million people."
So I think it turned out well.
WEEKLY: Do you know what the story of Zach's house is?
Kaye: I know what it's supposed to be. I think it could be a
real interesting story, not just for me but to explain the history of the
character, which I think is very important. Zach helps everybody, and we
don’t know why.
WEEKLY: I would like it if it turns out that Ethan wasn't really
Zach's son, and he still has a son out there.
Kaye: One that looked a little bit more like him?
(ABC honcho Brian Frons comes over.)
Frons: May I join you?
WEEKLY: Of course. We were just talking about the mysterious
house…
Kaye:…and a character's scars, and how that changes who the
character is.
WEEKLY: The more history you can bring to a character, the more
layers he has. Not to the point where you bore the head of the network,
of course.
Kaye: Oh, I have no trouble boring the head of the network.
I'm pretty good at that.
