AS IF ROCKS!!!! : CAROLINE IF U ARE HERE SAY AS IF ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lilli Stickers! : AS IF ROCKS

Caroline Chikezie : As If Rocks!

Chat Ed chuckles
Chat Ed : Hi Caroline :)

Caroline Chikezie : Hi guys!

Matt : Yayayyyyy!!!
EMINEM_4_EVA : AS IF ROCKS
aziz : Yo Caroline, sexiest woman on TV!!!

Sexy Jack : Hi Sasha, i'm Jack and i was just wonderin if you could tell me the gossip on the other co-stars and how you went about getting the part?

Caroline Chikezie : I got the part via my agent, who informed me of the role. Two auditions later I was offered the part. As for the gossip... Jemima who plays Nikki is a talkaholic, even when our calls times are like 4am she never stops talking! Ben who plays Rob is a playstation addict and Orlando and Paul are quite good on their guitars, they spend every spare minute on them!

Isola : Do you find it interesting using the different filming techniques?

Caroline Chikezie : Yeah, you can flash forward, do flashbacks and it helps to tell the story, it's like a reminder of what has gone on in the previous episodes.

Matt : Did you always think As if would be as bigger success as it has been from the start? Also, is there another series after this one planned?

Caroline Chikezie : Yeah I've always thought, from when I read the script at the audition, that I really wanted to be involved in this project, because apart from the story lines, the director, producer, they all had this mad energy about them and it was really exciting. It was a real buzz. We start filming for the 2nd series in May, next month.

Matt : Cool - cheers Caroline!
Stuey : How long does it take to film an episode?

Caroline Chikezie : We shoot two episodes a week, so three days per episode.

Eliana : If you weren't in the show, which of the characters from 'As If' do you think would be your favourite?

Caroline Chikezie : Um, Jamie. He's such a loveable character.

Carly : Do u fancy any of the guys in the show ??
aim : is it true that jamie theakston asked you out ?

Caroline Chikezie laughs
Caroline Chikezie : Oh my god, all the guys are fanciable, definitely, but no. That's the first I've heard about Jamie Theakston though - I wish!

victoria : where is As If filmed/set? is it in Camden town?

Caroline Chikezie : We tend to stay around the West London area and occasionally Camden.

Hannah : Tonight they showed your lesbian kiss, how awkward was it to act that?

Caroline Chikezie laughs
Caroline Chikezie : Thinking about it was more nerve racking than the actual kiss itself, Jemima and I are great friends and that made it easier. We were able to laugh it off afterwards, and forget it for the rest of our lives!

Spikess : chat ed could u ask caroline (sasha) in todays episode ur character said that u should have done it by the time u have left school do u agree wid this?

Caroline Chikezie : She said you've got to know how to kiss when you leave school. I don't think it's the case that you should have done it by the time you have left school though. I don't agree with that at all.

Wayne : are you anything like your character in real life?

Caroline Chikezie giggles
Caroline Chikezie : No, I'm not. When I meet people in the street who watch the show, after chatting to them for a bit, they say that I'm nothing like her, they can't believe it, that I can turn into Sasha!

cian : where do u get your hair done it is wicked?

Caroline Chikezie : Ah, thanks. I've got a hairdresser in West London, and she does my hair and cuts it for me and I just stick loads of gel on it.

chloe : where do you get your clothes from they are wicked?
lola bunny : Do u get to keep any of the clothes u wear cos they r really groovy!

Caroline Chikezie : The wardrobe department are responsible for all our clothes, they buy them all. They really have to shop around for them, all over London. We can buy whatever we want after the series has finished for half price.

Shining Star : have you got any other acting jobs lined up apart from 'As If'?
spongeymonkey : What are your ambitions for the future??

Caroline Chikezie : I'm tied up to As If now for the next six months, so I don't have anything else lined up. And I hope to continue in TV and film in the future and I'd also like my band to be successful, the band doesn't have a name yet though.

nathan humphries : Hi Caroline, it's Nathan from the crew, how ya doing?
alex : You were playin truth and dare what is your worst truth and dare you ever had to confess and do???

Caroline Chikezie : Ohh! Hiya nathan!
Caroline Chikezie laughs
Caroline Chikezie : Miss you!
Caroline Chikezie : My worst truth was having to admit who I fancied with the person sat next to me in the same room. The worst dare was to eat a raw onion, whole!

Rivani : Ew

Caroline Chikezie chuckles

Denis : did you always want to be an actress, or is it something you just got caught up in?

Caroline Chikezie : Oh no I've always wanted to be an actress. From a very young age.

Suzanne : chat ed can you plz ask Caroline if she went to a stage school and if she thinks it is essential if you want to sing/act/dance? Pleeeeeeeeease ask her. :)

Caroline Chikezie : I did go to Stage School, I went to Italia Conti. It's not essential though, it helps but it's not essential.

Driver : who were your main influences in you becoming an actor?

Caroline Chikezie : I think most of my influences were musical, like Michael Jackson. But also Jodie Foster when she was in Bugsy Malone, that influenced me a lot.

the guy called sacha : Who or what is the biggest inspiration in your life?

Caroline Chikezie : My mum, I guess. She's taught me to believe that anything is possible

i love da sasha! : ed my man tell her she is the most beautifullist babe on channel four! You are a wonderful actor too Caroline!
emz : do you have any other talents apart from acting?

Caroline Chikezie : Aww. Thank you! I'm a singer as well, emz. In our band I sing R & B and speed garage type stuff.

Cutmasta Fressshhh : Tell us more about the band...
spudjg : we love you we love you
Suzanne : wat's ur band called?

Caroline Chikezie : The band well, there are four of us, we got together a year and a half ago. I went to school with one of the girls and she introduced me to the other two. We don't have a name yet and we are currently recording tracks in a studio.

Chat Ed : OK folks - our half hour is up now, so last three questions now, thanks....

emmma : Do you think that Sasha and Rob will ever really get it together?

Caroline Chikezie : Ooh...
Caroline Chikezie thinks
Caroline Chikezie : Yes, if Sasha grows up a bit.
