Margaret Colin
TV Show: Now and Again, Fridays at 9pm ET

In Now and Again, Margaret plays a woman who thinks she's a widow. In reality, her husband's brain was transplanted into a genetically engineered superhuman. The catch? He's not allowed to tell her who he actually is. Margaret says that if she could have anybody's brain, she'd choose Lillian Hellman's or Isadora Duncan's. Whose body would she stick her husband's brain into? A woman's body, she says--her body in particular.

Eric Close
TV Show: Now and Again, airing Fridays at 9pm ET

On Now and Again, Eric is a new kind of superhero, created by transplanting a dead man's brain into the perfect body. Eric says if he could select the brain to be transplanted into his head, he would choose that of his 15-month-old daughter. He would love to see the world through her eyes, because everything seems so new and fresh. Eric also thinks it would be wonderful if kids could remember the first few years of their lives, so they could recall the nurturing, attention and love they were given.

The primetime heartthrob says it's flattering to be considered a hunk, but his wife, Keri, knows the real deal. The ladies wanted to know the most romantic thing Eric has ever done to win over a woman. He was shooting a show in New Zealand, and Keri, his girlfriend at the time, was on her way to visit her family in Kansas. Eric was supposed to work an extra week, but the schedule changed. He decided to surprise Keri by booking himself on the same flight, in the seat right beside her. He arrived early, and hurried onto the plane, flowers in hand, trying to get to his seat before Keri boarded. As he frantically made his way down the aisle, he asked a blond woman to excuse him. She turned around, and it was Keri, who had lightened her hair!

Eric also had a few comments about forgiveness, which the ladies talked about in the Hot Topics segment. He doesn't believe in grudges. If someone does you wrong, he says, that person is still going to go on with their life, while you carry that grudge. If you let it go, the burden's off of you.
