Carolyn Hennesy on Spinelli:

From her messageboard: (She needs to be his mommy)

If Carolyn could spend an afternoon with one character she would want to spend it with Spinelli. She thinks that he has a mind like Diane's, except his is a little more evolved. Spinelli fascinates Diane and Spinelli fascinates Carolyn - the way he reacts to Maxie and Lulu. He's trying to find that human vulnerability. She couldn't be around Anthony or Claudia, that kind of dark and menacing would be tough to be around for an afternoon. You would never know if you would end up with a knife in your back.

Diane and Spinelli...

Carolyn Hennesy (Diane) talks about Bradford Anderson:




Bradford is almost like Rainman except he's fully functional. He's that much of a genius. It's very hard to describe when you watch him work, to understand what he has to memorize, how he's got to make this come out of his mouth and the fact that he does it, is just fascinating to watch.


He as an actor can't even memorize the names, because they change them so much. He talks so fast! When Spinelli is talking, it's not Diane looking at him, but it's Carolyn saying WOW, and it works so well for Diane
