So I spent last Friday and Saturday with the cast of Days of our Lives and they told me so many things about the show’s past and what is coming up. Earlier in the week, I posted the first batch of pictures of the cast from the show, and today I am posting the rest! (I am sorry it took so long for me to get them up, I have not been feeling well.)
Friday and Saturday were a dream come true for this life time watcher of DOOL and I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed being there!
BTW you can also check out what the amazing people that I interviewed the cast with, Jessica from The Examiner and William from Soap Opera Source wrote about Day of Days!
Bill and Susan Hayes talked about how they have spending 35 years of Days of our Lives together since meeting on the show. The two of them talked about their time on the show and about being the only soap stars to ever appear on the cover of Time Magazine. In fact they told us the story of how they found out they made the cover. Several actors were photographed and no one knew who made the cover until it came out. The two were going to the commissary when they were handed the Time Magazine with them on the cover and they were in shock. Susan also told us that Bill was the first actor to sing on a soap opera and in fact they had created night clubs on DOOL for him to sing at at least once a week on the show. These stories and many more can be found in their first book Like Sands Through the Hourglass that you can only buy on their site and it is autographed for a very reasonable price!!! They also told us they just finished their second book and are hoping to release it soon!
Mark Hapka and Shelley Hennig talked about how they would like their good characters, Dr Nathan Horton and Stephannie Johnson, to maybe go bad. Something that will start happening to at least one of them… I hope both of them go bad soon because they both look so sweet, that it would be nice to see them play evil! Although Mark Hapka plays a little evil in his webisode Boo and I can’t wait to see what he does in Midgets vs Mascots!
How cute are Dylan Patton and Taylor Spreitler together? Too bad their characters Will and Mia are having relationship problems. When I asked them who they would want to date on the show, Dylan innocently answered “Like we have a choice.’ Which didn’t make Taylor too happy, but fear not the two actors worked it out by the end of the interview. Taylor also told us Mia will be going through a lot in the next few weeks and this 16 year old actress has proven she has the acting chops to relay what Mia is going through perfectly. She also told us how Alison Sweeney gave her pregnancy tips when she had to fake a pregnancy on the show and that she had to wear several different baby bumps to get that pregnant look.
Maggie is like a surrogate mom to Melanie on Days of our Lives and seeing Suzanne Rogers and Molly Burnett together you can tell that they are still the same way when the cameras are not rolling. Seriously the two are so sweet together, that they are a WYSIWYG. As in What you see on TV is what you get in person.
Lindsay Hartley and Eric Martsolf talked about going from Passions to Days of Lives and how it is nice to be working together again and how much they love working on DOOL. They also told that most of the actors they worked with on their previous soap are working like crazy which is a good thing all around. Now when it comes to their characters Arianna Hernandez is going to have some interesting stuff going on now that people are slowly knowing the truth about her. Brady Black is also going to have some must watch stuff coming up because not only is he involved with Ariana, he is also involved with Nicole whose secret is starting to get known by everyone in Salem.
Jay Kenneth Johnson and Casey Deidrick are two of Salem’s hottest men and they are both having women troubles. Casey talked about all he is going through with Chad as is he the father, to he isn’t and now the ultimate betrayal. Jay talked about what it was like coming back as Philip and having to wear bandages when he first came on the show to explain why his face looked different. He told us people would come up to him and tell him how they like his character with Belle. I can understand their frustration because Belle belongs with Shawn. When are they going to return to Salem because I miss them!
There is so much coming up in November and it has already started! Sami now knows Sydney is really her baby and that is just start of all that is going to go down because of that reveal. So below is a video previewing what is going to happen and you are not going to want to miss a single second of it, so watch it everyday on NBC!!!
