DAYS finally decided to go there? This could be your first breakout pairing… You also bring out a vulnerability in Casey’s Chad that I really like.
Wow; thank you so much. It’s fun that the show decided to go this route. You’re right, though: Would Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sparked in Mr. and Mrs. Smith had they been together in the beginning? Probably not. Casey and I were excited to work together. I respect him as an actor. We also have a lot of fun working together. I love the quality Melanie brings to Chad because he’s so used to being the cocky and confident DiMera…. but around her he doesn’t know how to handle her!
You put Casey in a different age bracket as well. I like the moral dilemma haunting the couple, too. [Joking] It’s just too bad about Casey’s looks, though! Seriously, Casey’s really blossoming into a beautiful man — and he can act! With you, Casey, Chandler, and Kate Mansi in place, I’m confident about the future of DAYS. As a huge Chill fan, like everyone else, I have to say the only other pairing I can see Chad in is with you so it eases my thirst for more Chad and Will. It’s been a win-win situation on DAYS’s part. I know you’re a big Chill fan. Would you be into a love triangle between Chad, Will and Mel?
I would totally be on board. I mean, Mel may be upset! [Laughs] I love the chemistry between Casey and Chandler. Why not? Wouldn’t it be interesting to play that out? We’ve all talked about it and think it’d be a unique take on a love triangle.
I’d love to see a catfight between Mel and Will! Since you’re a black belt in karate, I think Melanie should become Salem’s a superhero crime fighter!
I would love that! I’d love to drop kick a few characters!
I hope you and Casey produce more funny viral videos!
I think we will! We have the same sense of humour. We’ll do more. We just have to find out a new concept/idea.
What does 2012 hold for you? Are you planning on leaving DAYS?
I’m just taking it one day at a time. And do my best. I’m thankful and happy with where I am.
