"I make a joke. I never wanted to be an actor I only wanted to live in Oakdale."  

With all due respect to the other actresses who played Emily, Melanie Smith was by far my favorite, and not just because of her physical resemblance to Marie Masters. She was just completely believable: this is how Susan’s daughter would turn out. Thanks for another great interview. BTW, the hashtag in the description on the Shorts version misspells Ms. Smith’s first name-it’s Melanie, not Malanie.
