Ep. #8833
Monday 18 February 2008 on CBS

Phyllis, Nick, Sharon and Jack continue to make arrangements to put their new business into action. Nick surprises the gang by buying the warehouse for their office. Jack informs them that Forrester Creations are also on board to join them. Hope begs Vic and Victor to get along. Gloria tells...

In order to make her portrayal of Hope, a blind woman, on The Young & the Restless more believable, Signy took classes at the Braille Institute in Los Angeles. (edit) Signy is a fitness nut who "discovered" Jane Fonda's fitness books and videos when she was pregnant with her first child. After giving birth, she used the things she learned from Fonda to get back into shape. (edit) While attending UC Berkeley in California, Signy was approached by an agent who suggested that she become a model. One month later she had signed a deal and was traveling to Paris on her first modeling job. (edit) Signy recalls that after she appeared in two episodes of The X-Files she received even more fan mail than she did when she starred on The Young & the Restless and Guiding Light combined. Although she admits that most of her X-Files related fan mail was from conspiracy theorists. (edit) Signy was named "Star of the Week" by Soap Opera Magazine in their December 1, 1998 issue. (edit)

Signy: When I went to audition for Celeste on Santa Barbara, who was a prostitute on the verge of becoming homeless, I didn't wash my hair for four days. The guard wouldn't let me in - he didn't believe I was there for an audition. When they brought me back for the final callback for NBC, they said, 'By the way, we're thinking you might want to take a shower and put on a little bit of makeup.' (edit) Signy: (on her character, Suzanne Modeski, from The X-Files) My understanding was that they had written this part for some pretty big actress, I'm thinking Winona Ryder, who at the last minute was not able to play the character - something else came up. It's such a great show, and I was such a fan of the show. I felt so lucky. (edit) Signy: I'm much more interested in playing a character role than a leading lady. I'd rather challenge myself than stand there and just look good. (edit) Signy: I would say that my greatest obsession, if you can call it that, is I'm really meticulous about house cleaning. My house has to be immaculate! (edit) Signy: Perfect happiness, to me, is a really healthy home environment for my loved ones and myself - particularly for my daughter, Siena. (edit)
