And She Can Act, too: Alicia Minshew

It's no wonder that Richie Herschenfeld is in a constant good mood. Look who he comes home to:





This, from a recent Soap Opera Digest:

It had to happen eventually. Kendall’s surrounded by children, her own, her sister’s, Ryan’s and Annie’s, Babe’s and JR’s. And these children absolutely adore her. In fact, Shane (Little A stand-in) loves Minshew, 32, so much that he almost wailed with dismay when he saw she wasn’t in her dressing room, ‘cause he wanted to play and show off his Buzz Lightyear Valentine’s Day card he made for her. Firmly in a committed, loving relationship with boyfriend Richie (Thorsten Kaye/Zach introduced her to his best friend, and the rest is history), Minshew can’t help but muse on what it’d be like to marry and expand the family unit. She’s not quite in the family way mentally, but she’s close, able to see her fantasy life as a blend of marriage, kids and career. Kaye’s been pushing us to do it already, laughed Minshew. If she ever did, it would have to be with his best friend and her boyfriend Richie—who balances off her bubbly but ampy personality nicely. “He is all goodness,” she explained. “He was born that way; he doesn’t have a malicious or negative bone in his body. I can be malicious! I can be negative! I’m certainly not like that all the time, but the point is, he’s not, ever.”

There are a lot of similarities between the emotional roller coaster of Minshew and Kendall, but there’s also so much growth. Both started from an insecure, worrisome place, weirded out about everything that could possibly go wrong. “Before, if I didn’t have a moment to sit and recharge, I would cry or shake or have a minor meltdown,” admitted Minshew. With growth, for both of them, came calm, and a peace within. However, the two are nothing alike in the bitch department, she stressed. The May 28th-born health nut maintained that she possesses none of the “messed-up” issues of a Kendall.

Both Kendall and portrayer Minshew miss the original Fusion babes something awful. First chance Minshew gets, she’s over to the West Coast to hang with her buddies Terri Ivens (ex-Simone), Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee) and Amelia Heinle (ex-Mia; Victoria, Y&R), like old times. Budig even encouraged her in a recent Valentine’s Day e-mail correspondence to “get your asses out here, we’ve got the guest room all ready…” But it’s not like there’s a shortage of fresh, new girl power at AMC. There’s Alexa Havins (Babe), Melissa Claire Egan (Annie), Eden Riegel (Bianca), the girlfriend in spirit, Cameron Mathison (Ryan), it’s cool. –Soap Opera Digest, “Goal Tender” by Mara Levinsky, March 27, 2007
