Here
you will find some one liners from events as well as answers to
various questions that were printed in magazines. And also comments
about Stuart from his Co-stars
Stuart Damon: This job is sweet, and playing opposite Leslie Charleson as my wife Monica all those years made it even sweeter. We never stop laughing, and I can make her laugh anytime I want to. Once I broke into a hospital scene to do my impression of Elmer Fudd going to the barber, you know, "just take a wittel off the top." Everyone cracked up, and we had to take the whole scene over again.

Stuart Damon: I´ve never considered myself the type of man that women go screaming down the street to me. Yet, that´s what happened to me in Denver a couple of years ago. I was making a TV movie with Sean Kanan, who plays my TV son AJ. I couldn´t believe it when the young lovelies rushed over to me
.and ignored Sean! I felt like such a stud muffin.

Stuart Damon: My favourite scene was a doozy of a battle Alan and Monica had years ago. We really went at each other. I fell over a sofa. She knocked over a table. We were rolling around the floor ready to kill each other - but instead we made mad, passionate love! Ah, what a marriage.

Stuart
Damon: As
Dr. Alan Quartermaine, Monica´s breast cancer is the best
story I´ve ever had, because the cancer is happening to
him as well as for her
.and the husband´s suffering
is rarely explored on TV. One GH Fan who also suffers with cancer
wrote to me, "I only hope any woman unfortunate enough
to have breast cancer will be lucky enough to have a husband
like Alan" I was floored.

Stuart
Damon:
I loved being caught between my wife Monica and my mistress
Lucy-in my book that was storyline heaven! I went to bed more
times with Lucy in three weeks than I did in twelve years with
Monica. You wouldn´t believe how often I got to take off
my clothes in those days!

How
have Alan and Monica survived 20 years of marriage?
They forgive each other, need each other, love each other.
Their love goes beyond their indiscretions.

(About
one of his favourite scenes) Another favorite scene is from about
1982, when Monica and Alan were on the outs and ins - as theyve
often been - and she said she was going to take him for everything
he was worth. Alan completely flipped out, saying, You want
everything? Fine! Youve got it all... and started stripping
off his shirt, tie, jacket, and everything until he - I - was
left standing there practically buck naked! Then Alan said You
want all this, too? and grabbed hold of Monica and kissed
her. She responded, and it turned into the most passionate love
scene, with Alan and Monica rolling around the floor.. It was
also probably the most macho scene Ive ever done in the
almost 21 years Ive been on the show.

Stuart's
1999 SOD Awards Acceptance Speech
When
I started out in this business, I was told there would be five
phases in every actor's life: Who's Stuart Damon? Get me Stuart
Damon. Get me someone like Stuart Damon. Get me a young Stuart
Damon. Who is Stuart Damon? This is obviously phase four and I'm
not moving! Thank you, I love you all!

If you're new, young and willing to give your work 100 percent,
then Stuart Damon is the best mentor you could ever hope to
run across on-set. He goes out of his way to make sure every
newcomer feels welcome and that he's there if needed, because
"I want them to do their best. I want them to give of themselves
because I love actors."

Soaps in Depth, December 25, 2001
Stuart Damon may be Jewish, but he doesnt mind the Christmas
traditions wife Deirdre indulges in every year around this time.
In fact, he enjoys it as much as the children. With awe, he
recounted the exacting, loving, Martha Stewart-like detail his
wife devotes to tree trimming, gift wrapping and merry making.
Nothing on their tree, btw, is store-bought fakery. "Every
single item on the tree is handmade. Every strand, every light
is perfect," he described. "It takes hours for Deirdre
to pick a tree. . .hours! I dread going. I always try to be
busy so shell do it herself."

From
a fan on a messageboard
Alan has one of the yummiest voices in daytime. Deep and rich
like homemade caramel.
Quotes
From Stuart's Co-stars
Anna
Lee (Lila Quartermaine):
As Lila,
I´m often described as "gracious", but my backstage
reputation changed after I accidentally rolled my motorized
wheelchair over the toes of Stuart Damon. Now when the cast
and crew see me barreling down the corridors, they shout, "Look
out here comes Anna!". And Leslie Charleson even gave me
a crash helmet naming me "The British Bullet!"
*
* * * * *
Shell
Kepler(Amy Vining): One
of my first scenes was with Stuart Damon, who I´d had
a crush on since I was a kid and saw him on TV as Prince Charming
in Cinderella! He was still charming when I met him as Amy.
In our first scene together, my line was, "I feel like
Cinderella". It just cracked me up!
*
* * * * *
Sean
Kanan(AJ Quartermaine):
I credit Stuart Damon for helping me every step of the way.
He pulled a great performance out of me when he read with me
at my audition. And the day before I began, he left a message
on my answering machine that said,"We´re excited
you´re coming on the show. You´re gonna do great!"
That made me a lot less nervous about my first day.
*
* * * * *
Denise
Galik-Furey(Rhonda Wexler):
Stuart Damon and I used to to the Achy-Breaky Texas two-step
together! I couldn´t believe it, because I had the biggest
crush on him when I was a kid in Cleveland. He was the young
leading man in a whole string of musicals that I saw there.
When I told Stuart, all he said was, "Please don´t
say you were a little girl. It makes me sound so old."
So, don´t tell him, but I was only eight!
*

Leslie
Charleson:
When Stuart read the script about Monica becoming involved
with Dr. Dorman, never have you seen a happier man,"
Charleson laughs. "It's much more fun for us to have
conflicts than it is to be nice. He loves playing mean and
scary, and he's so good at it. I don't even have to act at
all. It scares the daylights out of me.
*
* * * * *
Leslie
Charleson:
I couldn't ask for a better friend to work with than Stuart.
He's a great friend, not to mention a great actor.
*
* * * * *
Question:
Have
you ever sat down to watch Stuart Damon's performance as
Prince Charming?
Leslie
Charleson:
Yes - nothing makes my day more than seeing Stuart in tights!
*
* * * * *
Question:
Who has the best sense of humor of the cast?
John
Ingle:
Probably
Stuart Damon.
