‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: There’s Something Very Precious About Newcomer Chanel
“A couple of years ago, my grandmother passed, who was my hero, and she was so into what she called her stories,” Way relays. “All I remember is you would catch a hot hand if you changed the channel and cut off her stories. She was so serious about it. And I was so young that I couldn’t remember which one was her favorite. So when I found out that I was going to be on a soap, I was so excited, like, ‘This is for my grandmother. This is a special thing from me to her.’ I was talking to my sister a couple of months ago and I didn’t tell her I was going to be on the show. I wanted her to give me an honest answer [when I asked what my grandmother watched] and she said, ‘I think her favorite one was DAYS OF OUR LIVES,’ and I was like, ‘Don’t say that.’ And then I told her the news and I almost cried, like, ‘How does that even happen? How does it work out like that?’”
Precious also said that with the crazy year that it has been because of the ongoing pandemic, she was relieved to finally have something to do other than sit around on her couch all day.
“Everything’s been so crazy with Covid, and I put up a self-tape audition and I had so much fun doing it because I really just loved the scene and I felt very free” she said, adding, “It was one of my first opportunities that I got to get dressed up, so I went all out for my tape! I put on a sparkly dress, and it gave me an excuse to put on some make-up and feel cute. My friend recorded me, I sent off the tape and I went through a series of auditions after that, and the rest is Chanel [laughs].”
