A quick chat With Tonja Walker, host of One Date to Love. We chat podcasts & why she wants Hugh Jackman as a guest ( @tonjawalker2023 @RealHughJackman ) |

With Soap Legend Tonja Walker’s new chat show One Date To Love now out in the world (links for the show are at the bottom of this article) I thought id take a moment to send some questions over to Tonja and ask her about her new lifestyle venture.

Having appeared in iconic shows such as General Hospital (and many more shows) Tonja is no stranger to be on camera but I wondered that her thoughts were on her new show One Date To Love and the world of YouTube.

Where did the idea come from for One Date to Love?

Finding the right title was very hard. “What’s the T? about “Dating Today” was considered. I really wanted to explore other people’s experience with dating apps which really became necessary during Covid and even after. I could not imagine trying it for 3 years. After my one and only husband passed away after a 4 year battle with cancer, I couldn’t imagine dating! We were married for 21 years, and we were an amazing fiery couple, whose energy was tripled being together. But I finally decided I needed to get out there. I couldn’t believe some of the things that happened and I couldn’t hardly stand the things I imagined!

People would text and then talk on the phone for hours, taking up a great deal of my time and their time too . Then after we did Facetime I often lost interest. This whole process was tiring and took up a great deal of time. I did have one fulfilling relationship from an app but then without a real explanation he just left, and I was quite hurt. That was tough. Promises were made and not kept and I am sure it was not intentional. But it was a first for me. I at least learned I could feel love for someone again. A situation comedy idea came to my mind as a result of some of my nightmares! I can talk about that LATER.

What are you looking forward to the most about the show?

Learning how others find love! Also, being with people on the show that I really like, some who have been friends for years and sharing with the audience at home what we are all doing to make our lives better.

I won’t ask who’s on it, but do you have a ‘wish list’ for guests you’d love to have on One Date to Love?

Hugh Jackman. Men and women who are bright, talented and who are single, having a rough time finding the right person. I don’t know if that’s Hugh but I just think he is the last great Movie Star. A triple threat who loves his kids and who had a successful marriage for a long time. We live a long time now, potentially, and if someone can have a happy marriage for 20 plus years it is a success in my book. No matter what.

How often will new episodes arrive on your Tonja Walker TV Youtube channel?
