Interview Ashley has kind of a hard time on Degrassi this season. She's changing, but it's still the same old Melissa playing her. So is it tough for Melissa to deal with the new Ash? Nah, she never really related to her anyway. Or at least that's what she told some the-N.com users when they asked about her real life... ladybug88: How old are you? Melissa: I turned 16 in the spring. hypergurl7: How did you get into acting? Melissa: I auditioned for a community theatre musical because I would get to sing on stage, and everything sort of went from there. Kittypaw: What type of music do you like, and what are your hobbies? Melissa: My hobbies are acting (obviously!), visual arts, songwriting, and -- most of all -- singing. I listen to pretty much everything, but I sing bluesy-jazzy stuff. Alvin: What sports do you play? Melissa: I LOVE volleyball, but I can't stand to watch ANY sport on TV. Ashanti626: Do you have a boyfriend? Melissa: No, not at the moment. CountriQT: How do you feel about your character? Do you wish she could be different? Melissa: I think Ashley is a great character, although she is easily pressured and often strays from her values. I don't wish she could be different, because I think Ashley's faults make her interesting...and human. hypergurl7: Do you get along with everyone else in the cast? Melissa: Absolutely! I love the fact that we're all friends! kaceypaige: Do you get angry on set when you're acting and you make a mistake, or when someone else makes a mistake? Melissa: Not at all. lildevil08: Do you relate to the things that happen on the show? What specifically? Melissa: I haven't really related to any of the situations Ashley has encountered. sofia9922: Has your life changed by making this series? Melissa: Yes and no. I still have my 'normal' life at home and at school with my friends, but I have a totally different life outside of that. lildevil08: What do you like most about being on the show? Melissa: It's amazing! The making of the shot, the people you work with and seeing yourself on TV make it such an unforgettable experience. |

My favorite sport is basketball, but I'm not that good, so I just watch it! hypergurl7: How did you get into acting? Chrissy: I got into acting by going to acting classes and workshops and going from there. CountriQT: How do you feel about your character? Chrissy: There are things I like and don't like about Terri. I like that she's so laid back and that she's nice. The only thing that I don't like is that she is so self-conscious, but it's realistic, 'cause there are lots of people like that. I think lots of girls relate to Terri, so it's good she's a character in the show. CountriQT: Do you wish she could be different? Chrissy: I like my character the way she is, although she isn't really like me in real life. But we do have a couple of things in common, like we are both laid back and try to be nice to other people. hypergurl7: Do you get along with everyone else in the cast?

We have been together a very long time, and I can't think of one fight. kaceypaige: Do you get angry on set when you're acting and you make a mistake, or when someone else makes a mistake? Chrissy: I don't get mad, because it happens to everyone at least once. lildevil08: What do you like most about being on the show? Chrissy: My favorite thing about being on the show is the experience and opportunities. You get to meet a lot of great people, go to awesome places, and it's a lot of fun! lildevil08: Do you relate to the things that happen on the show? What specifically? Chrissy: Yeah, going through things like boyfriends, fights, rumors... sofia9922: Has your life changed by making this series? Chrissy: A lot of my life has changed since Degrassi, such as that I can't do certain dangerous things so I don't injure myself. I've also made new friends, my school routine has changed, and much more. fla: This August, I'm going into Junior High. Is the first day really like the one in your episode? Chrissy: I personally thought junior high and high school weren't as scary as I thought they would be. I thought everyone was really nice. |
