I was very happy here with my job in daytime television as Erica Kane. And being able to see my children, and all of that has worked for me.

Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.

You know what my greatest personal stumbling block is? My shyness.

I'm lucky that I hooked up with my husband because he not only helps me but there's a joy for him as well. He enjoyed this part of me when we met. He was never threatened by it, by a woman who wanted a career. In fact, I think he prefers this, that I have a life as well. And I know my children have always known that they came first.

I love spaghetti and meatballs...I eat a lot.

All right then. I guess it is.
