An interview with Redge

[Cecilia]

This is an Australian article that Ronn Moss did, answering the questions like he was Ridge.
There is a part 2, but I haven´t found it yet...


“A Ridge Too Far”

Ridge, your kids have certainly grown up fast!
They have! I’m feeding them too much! I’m just glad I didn’t grow old as fast as they did, otherwise I’d be in a wheelchair right now.

How did they cope with their mum coming back from the dead?
They actually coped pretty well, as did I, booting Brooke out and taking my dead wife back, It’s happened before, so I’m experienced.

If Taylor “dies” again, at least you’ll be prepared…
I know exactly what I’ll do. I’m going to go, “Right! Just because I buried her, it doesn’t mean anything!”

Have you put the kids through therapy?
No, the family’s messed up enough that I don’t think a therapist would help us. Besides, their mum is a therapist so we had it in-house. Saves on money.

Your daughters, Pheobe and Steffy, don’t get up to much trouble…
I pretty much keep them upstairs a lot. I foresee that they’re going to get to an age where they’ll get into more and more trouble.

Taylor looked different on her return – when did that happen?
I think in Morocco when you go into a coma, they give you a makeover. That’s what I deduced…

Ridge, you’ve always managed to have two women in your life at any one time…
What people don’t realize is that it’s not indecision on my part – it’s totally on purpose. That way I can go from one to the other. If I made a choice, I’d have to stay with that person. How stupid would that be? So I’ll go, “I can’t remember why I wanted to be with you – I want to be with her now”, and they’re both such good sports that they let me do it, year after year.

Which woman would you secretly like to be with most?
I might take a little more time with Morgan. I know she’s out of her mind, but at least she’s not pretending to be anything else.

Okay, found part 2. Here we go, and remember, it´s Ronn Moss answering as though he was Ridge, not Ronn...:

Getting together with Bridget was a bit icky. Have you told Taylor about that?
No, we haven´t got into that - I don´t think I´ll get into it with her.

Wasn´t it weird to kiss someone you once thought was you daughter?
Considering I delievered her, thought she was my daughter, thought she was my sister and then we became lovers... I don´t know, it´s an interesting dilemma. It´s been par for the course for me. Keep in mind that she was more infatuated with me than I was with her. I was always joking and kidding with her. The moment she found out I wasn´t really her biological brother I thought about questioning her about that, but when a beautiful woman comes up and throws herself at you like that you go, "Nah, I´ll keep my mouth shut!" I figure that´s the best way - just as it´s the best I don´t talk to Taylor about it.

It would probably go down better with Brooke...
It´s probably a memory Brooke doesn´t really want to relive. Besides, I want to keep my opinions open with Brooke in the future.

How would you sum up Brooke - would you say she´s a complex character?
We all have an issue with marriage. We all have this bizarre need to be married at all times. Brooke needs someone in her life; she pretty much just works through our family ´cause we are the only guys in Los Angeles. Ultimately, Brooke is a good match for me and I think we´re destined to be together, even if only for a few weeks at a time.

What about your mum - she´s a bit attached to you, isn´t she?
(Ridge becomes quite emotional) I get all choked up talking about my mother. (Dries his eyes) I´m not going to admit that she´s the actual love of my life - that would be a little too hard to handle. I think it´s the lack of relationship with my mother that has forced me to seek out Brooke and Taylor in the way I have. That´s probably the underlying reason I haven´t been able to commit to one of these women - did Mummy never give me the attention I constantly seek?

It looks to us like she gives you plenty of attention - and she even fakes heart attacks for you! What a woman!
She´s very dedicated and she really wants me to be happy, but what does she really want? Is it about me or her? Just what exactly is her underlying motivation?
