I love our relationship now, Eddie, she said.
Like, we talka lot.
I talk to you more than I talk to anyone else on the telephone.
Cause I hate talking on the telephone but Ill get on with him.
When asked by Sigler, ONeill had only positive memories of working alongside Applegate.
Well, Christina, first of all, was great, he said.
And she was just a pro.
It was great to work with her…
I, on the other hand, over time drove Christina nuts for many reasons.
I think I was just trying to hold myself up, she explained.
My way of keeping myself together was kind of keeping this kind of armor up.
But, she added, ONeill was present when she needed him.
He went through everything with me, she said.
My moms cancer and other things.
David Faustino completed the family unit as the smart-aleck son, Bud.
Not a lot of time goes by without someone checking in with someone, she shared.
Katey has come over and laid in bed with me.
You know, Dave, I see Dave a lot.
Our kids went to the same school for a bit.
Speaking directly to ONeill, she continued, Like you’re my family.
You really are my family.
I hold you to a higher esteem than I do anybody else.
