AC Exclusive Interview with Spike from Passions

Our Favorite Bad Boy Bares All

Christopher Maleki may be better known to many of my readers as 'Spike'. On NBC's very unique daytime drama 'Passions' (well known for featuring mermaids, witches, zombies, and several other 'strange' things... where anything impossible is possible) Spike is a cold hearted criminal.

Spike is the one you turn to if you want a dirty deed done in the fictional town of Harmony. Spike is a manipulative man, who pimps out his wife Jessica (played by Danica Stewart) and his actions on the show are always unpredictable and downright mean.

However, Chris was an absolute delight to speak with. I was thrilled at the chance to do an exclusive interview for Associated Content with the man that I love to hate every weekday for an hour.

First of all, I have to admit that this was my first interview 'live' (over the phone) so I had no idea what to expect. Chris was actually very friendly over the phone, and we made a little small talk about the weather. (He sat on the balcony enjoying the 70 degree weather while I have my heat cranked up in my NY home.)

Here is what Passions bad boy Spike had to share:

(Me) Congratulations on Passions being saved! (more about this) Can we look forward to seeing you on Direct TV after Passions ends on NBC this summer?

(Chris) Well, there's really no guarantee for that. I've always been a free agent. I work on a weekly contract and I'm always available to work on other projects so I get the best of both worlds.

(Me) Well, I hope we can all continue watching you. You play the character that Passions fans love to hate. Your character is an abusive husband and an easy to buy criminal. How would you describe your character.

(Chris, laughing) I think he is a very, very, very misunderstood person. He has had a rough up-bringing, and there are many layers to him.

(Interesting perspective!)

(Me) Currently on the show, your wife Jessica (played by Danica Stewart) is pregnant with your baby. Your character (Spike) is threatening to sell the baby. How do you really feel about children? (Have any, want any?)
