Erika looks AMAZING!:)
Erika represents pure class, sophistication and inspiration. Such a joy to see her interviewed!
I totally agree with you!!!
Love her dress… she looks so beautiful!!! Love her… she is one of the greatest ever!!! Great interview Michael and Erka!!!
erika slezak is always so gracious, classy & elegant!
Bravo Erika as always. She is so honest and classy and so committed to her show and her profession. It is always a joy to see and hear her.
Erika has alway’s been my all-time favorite on OLTL ! She is the heart & soul of OLTL. Without her it wouldn’t be OLTL plus I think the soap couldn’t go on if she weren’t there.
Beautiful dress! Elegant!
Always love to see the positive!
Erika Slezak is the best! She is a treasure..
On another note – it looks like they fixed the doors on OLTL.
They now open IN to Tea’s house – will be watching at La Buleigh.
Didn’t they have a tribute to AMC on last year’s show? Why wasn’t there anything for OLTL on this show? They would’ve had plenty of time if they had cut out that horrible singing! And Carrie Fisher was a waste of time too! They messed up the tribute to Monty Hall and they still went overtime!
Wonderful lady and actress.
As usual, Erika is the epitome of grace and class. Her father would be proud (is proud from heaven!). Love her positive outlook and her loyalty to Robin Strasser. My favorite emmy win for Erika will be NEXT YEAR! 😉
GREAT interview!! Ms. Slezak looks amazing, and the questions were spot on! Thanks, Michael!
That was a terrific interview. She was one of the few presenters who appeared to know what they were doing on the Emmy Award show. She is my favorite on OLTL. I feel better about the future of OLTL and that the labor dispute will be resolved after listening to her interview.
The reason she knows what she is doing is because she has been in the business and loves daytime. I wish that ABC would do the right thing and bring them back home I applaud PP for what they have done but it is still not the same. Erika did look lovely!
Great interview with the Fabulous Erika Slezak!! She is such a classy lady and a Wonderful actress! Hope they get everything together so OLTL can start filming again! Look forward to more of it and Erika!!
