TV Interview!
Interview with actress Esta Terblanche of “All My Children” by Suzanne 4/21/23
It was great to speak with Esta! I really loved her character, Gillian, on All My Children, and her relationship with Ryan Lavery (played by Cameron Mathison, who’s now on “General Hospital“). Esta would like to get back into acting, preferably on a soap. It would be amazing if they hired her to be in GH! Incidentally, she hasn’t aged much at all since she left AMC!
