Cindy K says Oh how wonderful
Amber says Really? Well that must have been great practice
for Christy lbcdawn1 says so you have first hand knowledge Dale/Opal
says Pretty much lbcdawn1 says Did that make the filming easier on
you..or did it stir up stereotypes?
BarbaraD. says Dale-I know you said you had family in the
Smokies..what did you use from your childhood to bring to Christy??
Dale/Opal says You really don't want to know...
Cindy K says lol
Dale/Opal says I thought of my grandmother a lot BarbaraD.

ChristyB says [:)] Cindy K says that sounds really nice BarbaraD. says
Dale-Well, whatever it was, you were just amazing!!
Marilyn says Dale-tell us how the 2nd Christy production
differed from the first from your perspective. ChristyB says You played
the perfect Opal!! Dale/Opal says Aside from the moose antlers, ha ha
Cindy K says the moose antlers hahaha lbcdawn1 says Think of the color
that would have added Dale/Opal says It was very different but the
Canadians did a great job recreating the area ChristyB says Moose
antlers? Did I miss something? BarbaraD. says Opal was one of the
characters that truly seemed to step right out of the book!! rebekkah
says what moose antlers?
lbcdawn1 says the ones in Canada

the miniseries Dale/Opal says I'm in the 2nd one, moderately and the 3rd
one too much Cindy K says Aww not too much, never.
lbcdawn1 says that doesn't sound very positive. Amber
says Too much? rebekkah says was it a hassle, or did you just not like
having so much matter in the 3rd movie, dale? Dale/Opal says I'm very
excited about seeing both movies, I had some wonderful writing in both
ChristyB says What's the best known movie (besides Christy) that you
have been in?
Dale/Opal says I'm currently in the recently released "The
Pledge" w/ Jack Nicholson Cindy K says That must have been great to do
personage1 says cool Possum Kim says Cool, Dale! What sort of role do
you have in "The Pledge"?
Dale/Opal says Sean Penn directed me as a cop Cindy K says
A cop wow! sonjaSFM says What was it like working with Jack N.
Dale/Opal says Mr. Nicholson was the chief he was great Cindy K says The
Chief of Police?
Dale/Opal says He was retiring chief on screen, and the
real thing off screen rebekkah says dale, do you have a preference as to
what kind of work you do, as far as stage, film, independent.... or is
it just the acting that you go for?
Dale/Opal says I always return to the stage
rebekkah says neat
BarbaraD. says Dale-What would you say is the biggest
drawback/advantage to Stage VS Film Dale/Opal says nothing like live
theatre, but film pays better....
Dale/Opal says and camera work is a wonderful new
challenge
Cindy K says I bet so
rebekkah says yeah
Cindy K says Get to do scenes over and over that way

Christy..who and which scene?

weeks ago. Great actor to be able to pull that role off ChristyB says We
won't... don't want him to get a big head! LLL says How difficult was
it to lose your sister to typhoid in the miniseries?
Dale/Opal says Difficult emotionally to lose a sister,
even acting
rebekkah says i'll bet
Cindy K says I am sure it must have been hard ChristyB
says I bet! I'm not looking forward to those scenes!

LLL says Is that on the map? What town would that be
near? Dale/Opal says Lick Skillet is now known as Bibby lbcdawn1 says
Ever have a Christy encounter in the real world?
Dale/Opal says Define "Christy encounter" please lbcdawn1
says well...when you are somewhere and the scene kinda flashes back to
something that could be in Christy Dale/Opal says When I'm in the
mountains of California or nature I think of the story lbcdawn1 says
like you see someone who reminds you of say Ruby mae rebekkah says
california mts. are where it's at. personage1 says Bruce mentioned a
few weeks ago about you and he and andy doing some singing - what was
that like? personage1 says i would have very much liked to have heard
it Dale/Opal says I loved singing with Andy and Bruce. They are really
good musicians Cindy K says What song did you do?
Dale/Opal says We sang "Get Out the Way Ole Dan Tucker"
Possum Kim says Cool song
Cindy K says Oh Great that is fun
lbcdawn1 says cute
personage1 says that's a riot! i love that song Marilyn
says The TV series showcased many wonderful Tennesse native-born actors.
Was there a real sense of pride on the set?
Dale/Opal says Pride, yes, egos no
Dale/Opal says Although we did take over the bars to
watch the Tennessee Vols
Cindy K says So we have heard
ClassicDavidDude says Dale, I know you enjoy the new
movies, but do you ever miss Ken Wales?
Dale/Opal says I didn't get to know Ken that well the
first go-round...
Dale/Opal says but he was always very wonderful to me
ClassicDavidDude says oh
Dale/Opal says He worked so very hard
ClassicDavidDude says i can believe that!!
lbcdawn1 says If you could make up any scene...who
would it involve..
lbcdawn1 says I'm thinking plot lines here..just general
Dale/Opal says My husband Tom was supposed to join me
tonight
lbcdawn1 says really...for moral support
Cindy K says So andy was coming too?
Dale/Opal says Because he stood me up, Opal wants to ride
bareback with the doc.
Cindy K says LOL We ALL want to do that too!! ChristyB
says I know you probably can't tell us about your favorite scene in the
new movies, but can you tell us what characters are in your favorite
scene? Dale/Opal says Most of the ensemble was in my favorite scene
rebekkah says dale, if there were one role you could play, any type of
acting, what would it be?
Dale/Opal says There's still a lot of Shakespeare I
want to do
rebekkah says cool
Dale/Opal says and I want to play an evil villian lbcdawn1
says ah Shakespeaere!
SouthernDav says what kind of shaxpear rebekkah says what
shakespeare have you done so far?
Possum Kim says To be or not to be

murdering character
lbcdawn1 says perhaps macbeths mom
Dale/Opal says Lisa (my typist) and I did Macbeth together
in college!!
Dale/Opal says She was brilliant, I was scary (and Lisa
says also brilliant) rebekkah says that can really help you hone your
acting skills Justpeachy! says Hi everyone. Hi Dale. I am your audiobook
fan. Dale/Opal says I'm so pleased you've listened to the book
Justpeachy! says Your reading is so beautiful. You become this 12 year
old girl.
Dale/Opal says I didn't know anyone but my family did
Dale/Opal says LOL
lbcdawn1 says guess i best buy that tape!
rebekkah says cool
SouthernDav says yeah, really!
rebekkah says dale, did i hear you did the sequel of the
book on tape too?
Dale/Opal says Yes I did the sequel-called Morning is a
Long Time Coming Justpeachy! says The sequel is beautiful. I have been
to the studio to see the readers act.
Marilyn says Dale-tell us how you reached that near
catatonic state at the death of your baby in the TV series. lbcdawn1
says BTW that was a very convincing scene ChristyB says I agree!
ChristyB says with Dawn.
Dale/Opal says Well, it helped that it was about 20
degrees outside but I went to a very dark alone place Dale/Opal says and
shut everything out rebekkah says did you find that the book was very
challenging, since the only thing to convey action and emotion is your
voice? Dale/Opal says The most difficult thing about doing a recorded
book is the microphone picks up your stomach growling!
rebekkah says haha
Cindy K says I never thougth of that
ChristyB says LOL
rebekkah says i hate recording, you can't move at all
lbcdawn1 says too much slush sound Justpeachy! says It must be very
difficult to get into the character. rebekkah says yeah! were you
constantly changing your voice patterns, or the speed you talked at,
or....?
Dale/Opal says The director of the book wanted me to be
more
subtle than I had imagined. It was hard to do that many
characters and still keep it simple
lbcdawn1 says Not if your a natural
rebekkah says i always struggle with voice patterns
Justpeachy! says Have you done any other recorded books?
ClassicDavidDude says Dale, a serious question! [:)] I'm sure you've
been asked this before, but are you for David or Neil?
Dale/Opal says I gotta say Neil
ChristyB says Yeah!!!
ClassicDavidDude says aww...why?
lbcdawn1 says YEAH!!!!!
personage1 says yay!!!
SouthernDav says what about you opal?
Cindy K says Opal knows
sonjaSFM says YES!!
lbcdawn1 says on that note have you read any of the fan
fiction on sonjas site? personage1 says fanfic is a lot of fun! very
creative ChristyB says You would enjoy it if you get the time to read
them! Dale/Opal says No more books, haven't read fan fiction on sonjas
site, need a new computer Marilyn says A laptop is what you need, Dale
Dale/Opal says Please call Tom Blomquist about my raise lbcdawn1 says oh

SouthernDav says opal, I just got here, so will you tell
me if you are for david or neil?
Dale/Opal says Gotta say Neil, again! lbcdawn1 says Can't
help yourself!
Dale/Opal says She really should choose Birdseye, but what
do I know?
LLL says Thanks for taking the time to chat Dale - looking
forward to the miniseries!
ClassicDavidDude says I agree! David is the one for
Christy Justpeachy! says Neil is the only man for Christy Dale/Opal says
I think they are both good for Christy Justpeachy! says Dale, how did
you like working on City of Angels? noodle says Dale, were there times
you felt the shooting schedule for the movies was rushed?
Dale/Opal says Fantastic on City of Angels. I had a great
role and director Justpeachy! says You were excellent and it was good to
see you on a doctor show that I liked Dale/Opal says Shooting schedule
was under financial deadlines but I feel the directors took enough time
to get what they needed Dale/Opal says for the most part Dale/Opal says
I too liked City of A. Sorry it was cancelled. Esp. because I was
supposed to return!
Marilyn says Had you ever filmed anything in Canada
before? ClassicDavidDude says Dale, do the kids play a larger role in
the next movies than they did in the first, or do you not know?
Dale/Opal says I filmed The Pledge in Canada rebekkah says what did you
find hardest or most challenging about filming the new miniseries
Dale/Opal says Kids have pretty equal roles but I sure do miss the
authentic Tennessee kids Brittia1 says Sorry, I just got here. I hope
this question has not already been asked, but what can you tell us about
the last e pisode of x-files? personage1 says awwww... me too....
Dale/Opal says They don't mind having dirt on their faces
rebekkah says haha ClassicDavidDude says I believe that. They looked so
natural! [:)] personage1 says heck no, it was all a part of growing up,
right? Dale/Opal says The hardest thing about filming new version was
adjusting to the new faces that were cast ChristyB says What kids will
we get to see the most of? Marilyn says The kids looked too clean and
well fed on RTCG rebekkah says dirt is fun lbcdawn1 says ah...so are you
saying the canadians...are a bit more persnickety?
Dale/Opal says Not seeing Kelly but Lauren, who was
wonderful Dale/Opal says Again, I am the father of Scully's baby. That
is all!! Brittia1 says Opal, LOL about the kids.
Dale/Opal says Those bratty Spencer children rebekkah says
haha lbcdawn1 says hey those are your nieces and nephews ChristyB says
LOL Cindy K says Bratty? What did they do?
Dale/Opal says Canadian kids learned their accents
amazingly well ChristyB says So we'll get to see Zady??? [:)] lbcdawn1

Dale/Opal says What didn't they do?
lbcdawn1 says haha
Cindy K says LOL
Cindy K says Sounds like real kids for sure

I had an 8 year old try to lock me in my room today....
Dale/Opal says Just try 15 hrs on a freezing set with 4
chilluns
hanging off of you in the rain
Dale/Opal says It wasn't really their fault...
lbcdawn1 says welcome to MY world!
rebekkah says eek
Cindy K says Is that in the storm?
Dale/Opal says Yes, the rain storm was around everytime
I was on set
Cindy K says oh no maybe the storm followed you around
Dale/Opal says LOL
Dale/Opal says The cameraman wanted flying objects
whenever
I was on set
rebekkah says that doesn't sound good
ChristyB says Sounds like scenes you won't soon forget!
rebekkah says flying objects!?! hey, any chickens? Possum Kim says Or
possums?
Brittia1 says Was it a storm or a tornado?
Dale/Opal says Storm, flood, raging waters, rivers rising,
children screaming ChristyB says Was the McHone house in danger of the
rising waters?
Dale/Opal says Every house in the cove was in danger of
the waters noodle says Your expression when Tom and the guys were
fawning over the aviator was priceless Dale/Opal says Opal and Dale both
have a jealous streak!
rebekkah says haha
lbcdawn1 says ahh jealousy is a spice!
Possum Kim says But we love you both anyway lbcdawn1 says
wasn't that the underlying premise of RTCG... jealousy brought out the
true feelings? rebekkah says haha kim Dale/Opal says Andy Stahl who
plays my husband played my typists husband on Matlock a few years
ago... Dale/Opal says could he please pick one of us??? Possum Kim
says Andy gets around lbcdawn1 says was it hard to go from one series to
another with the same actor playing your spouse lbcdawn1 says I mean to
seperate the two roles Dale/Opal says I love Andy, Opal will never have
another spouse!!
Amber says Dale, were you familiar with the story of
Christy before getting involed with the CBS series? Or Catherine's
other works for that matter.
Dale/Opal says I have to admit I was not familiar with
Christy before the project came up, other than the title personage1 says
is the acting world a small world? meaning, do you run into
actors/actresses that you've acted with often?
Dale/Opal says I run into people I have worked with all
the time Marilyn says Dale-are you married in real life and do you have
children?
Dale/Opal says I'm unofficially married, live w/ my
boyfriend for 7 years SouthernDav says opal, has the movie date been
changed from the 13th to the 12th?
Dale/Opal says will most likely marry if we decide to have
kids lbcdawn1 says Why wait! marriage is so much better!

Cindy K says That is correct Christy is the 13th & 14th

Brittia1 says What year did you graduate from UT?
Dale/Opal says I didn't graduate, I left in 1985
Marilyn says Dale-how do you deal with the rejection
actors face in auditioning for parts?
Dale/Opal says I'm not sure how I deal with rejection
Dale/Opal says I just learned to accept it and do a primal
scream when I leave
rebekkah says haha
Brittia1 says LOL
Amber says chocolate works too
Dale/Opal says I had my share of Entemanns chocolate cake
when I was starting out rejected every day in NYC Justpeachy! says But
the feeling when you are successful must be great!
SouthernDav says dale, how'd you come to get the part in
the movies?
Dale/Opal says I was living in NY and a friend of mine was
originally up for the role of David.
Dale/Opal says He suggested I check into it Cindy K says
Really? Who was your friend? rebekkah says good suggestion, Dale
personage1 says and he didn't get the part, huh? personage1 says but

rebekkah says shhh! don't spoil anything
Amber says oh no, sorry!
Dale/Opal says How does the new Christy compare to the
old one for you guys
rebekkah says it was an easy transition.
ChristyB says I can't wait to see more of it!
Cindy K says I love Lauren she is wonderful as you say
Brittia1 says I can't get used to the set.
Marilyn says I couln't make Canada look like TN personage1
says i need more to get cozy with it! Dale/Opal says Neither could we
rebekkah says she did very well... her skirt annoyed me, but if that's
the worst...
Amber says It was kind of hard for me to get used to at
first...it's so much better now though!
ChristyB says It's a little werid seeing new character,
set, etc after over 20 hours of the series though. Dale/Opal says
Remember it was much lower budget than CBS ChristyB says Her skirt?
Justpeachy! says Lauren has incredible chemistry with
SFM, much better than Kellie had
rebekkah says lol
Marilyn says I would love to see more facial expressions
and change in voice in Lauren's acting.
Justpeachy! says Kellie looked like SFM's daughter
Dale/Opal says It's hard not to have chemistry with that
Scottish kilt
Amber says LOL!
Cindy K says Big LOL
noodle says Do you think the movies suffered from having a
lower budget than the series rebekkah says yes, christy... i hated how
she kept holding her skirt! it was driving me crazy! i liked her acting,
and then i would look at the skirt again...
Dale/Opal says Yes I agree Kelly looked a bit too young
Amber says ha ha Rebekkah!
Possum Kim says Hah
Cindy K says What?
Justpeachy! says But Kellie was good in scenes with the
children ChristyB says Interesting, rebekkah... I didn't notice that.
Dale/Opal says A lower budget means lower quality and less
attention to detail
Dale/Opal says Somewhat
SouthernDav says oh, yeah. i wish she'd come back
Justpeachy! says I'm glad Kellie didn't come back sonjaSFM says Well,
regardless of the little things, I was so happy to see Christy on TV
again, I can over look somethings.
This part of the transcript is missing but Dale told us to
look out carefully for a scene where blood is all over her hand which
was an accident and not part of the script. ChristyB says Blood?
Amber says ha ha...we'll be on the lookout!
Cindy K says The knife incident? personage1 says ooo ooo
