LMS: How do you like being back and how do you like the way your storyline is going right now?
MA: I love being back. It's like putting on an old jacket that's well worn, but still fits and feels good when you wear it. I have had a lot of fun, and they have written really fun things for me to do. I open up the script and I never know what's gonna happen next. It's a fun way to come into work. I don't know what Jack is going to do, or what he won't do, to get what he wants.

LMS: What would you like to see happen to the character?
MA: At a certain point I'd like to try and get the newspaper (The Spectator) back.

LMS: Do you think that will happen?
MA: I don't know. There's nothing wrong with having big obstacles, but if you (were to) bring back Vern, and try to hire Jennifer... If I can't get her back in the sack, at least I could get her back working behind a desk! That would be fun. We have our personal differences, but okay, Jack would say, okay I respect you as a writer, and I want you to work for me.

LMS: Is there any hope for Jack and Jen?
MA: There's always hope. That's what keeps us going. Jack feels like they are together, even though they are not. Everything is about her. I am always working some angle that always points back to her at the end of the day. We can be at each other's throats, but that doesn't mean that I am not still crazy about her. The fans can pick that up. I think they picked that up years ago. I was trying to pawn her off on Emilio, but they said, we see right through you. I would hope that we always keep working right around each other. If you get everything you want (today), then there's no reason to get out of bed tomorrow.

LMS: Do you think that Jack will develop true feelings for Greta down the line?
MA: True feelings as opposed to what he has now?
LMS: Yes!
MA: I think he is. I think he surprises himself by going wow, I feel bad that I used you like that. I think those feelings are there. The great thing about a daytime on-going program is that you can take your time in developing those things.
