Dear Justin, Are you and Amber gonna do a duet on the show? I've heard you both sing really well. All of us want to hear you two sing more. Keep up the good work!! Sheila G. |
Dear Sheila, Thanks, but I don’t sing. I mean, I do sing, but I won’t sing on the show. It’s just never been my thing.

Dear Justin, *Dear Rick,

Dear Sheila, Thanks, but I don’t sing. I mean, I do sing, but I won’t sing on the show. It’s just never been my thing.

Dear Justin, In your own opinion, who do you think Amber should end up with? Savannah |
Dear Savannah, You know, Rick and Amber have always had this torn-apart love thing. Amber’s kind of from the wrong side of the tracks and she’s very different from Rick. I think Amber and Deacon are a good match because they have a lot of similarities. But if you follow the “opposites attract” line of thinking, I think Amber and Rick should be together.
|
Dear Justin, What was your initial response when you learned that Amber and Rick were to be wed for the second time? By the way, congrats with your well-deserved award! Anne |
Dear Anne, Thank you, Anne! Actually, this is like the third or fourth time Amber and Rick have been wed, because there was a dream wedding and the renewal of our vows. We’ve gotten married a ton, when it comes down to it. The wedding scenes are actually really hard work, so they’re never really that fun.

Dear Justin, Hey, I'm a big fan of B&B from Israel. I've watched this show for a very long time now, and when you were cast on the show I was happy that somebody else would portray the role of Rick. I guess that your Emmy Award just proves that your acting is realistic and excellent! Do you like the way that your character has developed? Liad .W. |
Dear Liad, You know, the only thing I have to say about Rick is that I’d like him to be a little edgier. He is the youngest member of this fashion family — the crown prince of fashion. So I think he could dress a little trendier and maybe get a little edgier. That’s the only thing I’d really change. But I guess Rick is Rick. I love the character. All in all, I’d say I’m pretty content.
|
Dear Justin, I love you!!!
My question is: Which actress in this universe would you like to have play a love interest for Rick? And which character on B&B would you like to see get together with Rick? Sarah Richmond |
Dear Sarah, Well, Sarah, I’d like Elizabeth Hurley to play a love interest for Rick. That would be pretty cool! As for which other actress on the show, I don’t know. There’s not many young actresses on the show. Everyone’s related to me, so the only option really is Amber. If there was some wild, crazy, way out-there storyline, I think Rick and Morgan should get together |
Dear Justin, Do you have a girlfriend? Claudia |
Dear Claudia, No I don’t, Claudia. I always keep my eyes open, but I’m really focused on my career right now. If that special girl crosses my path, I’ll know, and then I’ll ask her out for dinner. But I’m not actively searching. |
Dear Justin, At the Daytime Emmys you said in your acceptance speech that you wanted to thank your wife Adrienne Frantz (Amber). Are you two married in real life or did you just mean on the show? Ashley |
Dear Ashley, Ashley, that was a big mistake. The fact of the matter is, Adrienne and I work together so much that I’m used to saying that. We act like husband and wife. We get on each other’s case. Sometimes we’re ticked off at each other, sometimes we’re not. It’s a total husband-wife relationship, so it just kind of slipped out. When you’re up there on stage and everyone’s watching, it’s pretty easy to mess up a little bit. I meant to say, "my TV wife, Adrienne Frantz." |
Dear Justin, What is the hardest thing you have been through in your life? mbonline |
Dear mbonline, Starting on B&B and replacing Jacob (Young), because he was so popular. I had my own ideas about the character and the producers had their own ideas and those didn’t quite mesh very well when I first started. So it was really, really different. Plus, I moved out from Colorado with no friends, no furniture, no place to live. It was a giant dose of reality really, really fast. |
Dear Justin, I think I once read in Soaps In Depth that you had to relocate to California for the role of Rick. Where were you living before this and is it hard being away from your friends and family? Britt |
Dear Britt, I was living in Boulder, Colorado. It’s not too hard being away from my family because my parents come out to visit me all the time and I visit them. But what’s really hard is being away from my daily circle of friends. There were five of us from high school and we were all best friends. We hung out together constantly. All of that kind of ended when I left, and I still don’t have those kind of friendships here in Los Angeles yet. L.A.’s a really hard place to live. It’s hard to match the closeness of your high school friends. I’m making really good friends, though. I’m really very close friends with Jennifer Finnigan (Bridget) and Sean Kanan (Deacon). And Mick Cain (ex-C.J.) is probably one of my best friends. It’s just different, that’s all. |
Dear Justin, What do you like to do when you're not working? Jason |
Dear Jason, I like to drive. I really like cars, so I just like to get in my car and go anywhere. |
Dear Justin, is there someone on the B&B cast who you would credit with helping you when you first started on the show? is there anyone you hang out with away from the studio? Mandi |
Dear Mandi, I’d give most of the credit for helping me when I started to John McCook (Eric) as well as Susan Flannery (Stephanie) and Adrienne Frantz (Amber). Adrienne and Susan were both very helpful in the acting part of it, and filling me in on the storyline, and John McCook just became a father figure. His support is really what got me through all the tough times. In real life, I hang out with Jennifer and Sean and Mick, and Adrienne, too.
Adrienne and I like to make candles, or I’ll go over her house and we’ll cook. She’ll call up and say, "Do you want to come over?" and I’ll say "okay." She lives right down the street, so we hang out a lot. |
Dear Justin, Do you ever watch any soaps? Mike C. |
Dear Mike, Every now and then I’ll watch THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, or GENERAL HOSPITAL sometimes. And of course, I watch our show whenever I can just to keep up with everyone else’s stories. It’s hard to keep tabs on everything that’s going on. |
Dear Justin, Did you do anything special to celebrate your Emmy win? R.R. In Michigan |
Dear R.R. In, Not really. We had a party with the cast members after the show. That was a good celebration because I had tons of my family there from Massachusetts and all over the East Coast. My parents were there and some of my cousins from Colorado and some of my best friends. So that was basically the big celebration. |
