Elizabeth Hendrickson: 'I'm a Bit Jealous'
(Soap Opera Weekly - May 13, 2003)


Elizabeth Henrickson (Maggie) is glad Bianca finally got her kiss, but the actress admits to a twinge of disappointment that it wasn't her character who made daytime history on All My Children.

"Of course i'm a bit jealous", she concedes. "I'll be honest. I don't think [the Bianca/Maggie relationship] should have been wrapped up so quickly. Maggie was sort of asexual for a long time. She loved Bianca as a friend. I was upset that the week after Maggie said she was straight, she found Henry."

BAM supporters would agree. The Bianca And Maggie fan group has been relentless in it's campaign to unite the characters. The latest special delivery from the vocal (and obviously not starving) contingent was a wooden clock emblazoned with the message, "TIME FOR BAM!"

"Bam fans, I have the clock," confirms Hendrickson. "We just got the fortune cookies, which I thought was funny since I'm in a storyline with an Asian boy."

But BAM's pleas seem destined to remain dreams. "I'm fine with that," insists Hendrickson. "Would I love for them to be together? Yes, but only if it's going to come from the right place. I don't want Maggie to say yes and then back away from it."
