Natalie did a small interview with Soap Opera Digest/Weekly Online and talked a bit about her relationship with General Hospital star Brandon Barash (Johnny). She sounds like she’s in such a good place and I’m so happy for her and will continue to respect her relationship and privacy. I’ll add two of my favorite Q&A’s from Nat then link you to the full article that has more.

Weekly: What factors apply as to when you decide to tell people about yourselves, i.e., to go public?
Hall: I was a little uncomfortable [about doing it] at first. I am a very quiet person — almost a loner — when it comes to my social and private life. I have a small group of friends in my life, but they’re the best friends anyone could ask for. When we came out and made it public, we had only been with one another a short amount of time, so how silly would it be if we told people and then broke up?! But I knew in a short time of knowing him [that] he is such a genuine, kind, honest guy, who has poured his soul out to me; has told me all his secrets [and] life lessons. He is so passionate with our relationship, so in the end, I knew it was the right thing. He is an amazing, talented guy. I am honored to stand next to him, hold his hand and say he is my boyfriend.

Weekly: Is it easier when both people are on a soap?
Hall: I don’t think it would make a difference where we work. It’s easy in the sense that we both understand our situations, and know that we sometimes have 30 pages of lines to learn in one night. And let me say…I make a great Lisa Niles, and recently, I have been playing Anthony, Brandon’s father on the show, every night. A couple of weeks ago, Brandon did a wonderful Annie Chandler! He would have made Melissa Claire Egan proud.

How cute is she? I love that she’s an awesome Dr. Lisa Niles and is now doing the role [practicing lines of course] of Anthony Z! To read the full article click here.
