The actor also revealed that he immediately called his co-star Louise Sorel (Vivian) after he got the call from DOOL’s producers asking him to return to the show. Needless to say, the two of them were very excited over the prospect of working together again.
He continued, “I said, ‘Let’s go back and cause a little havoc on the show and have some fun and dress up. I like that.’ ” The actor reports that he and Sorel have stayed in touch over the years. “I do like to connect with her once in a while and see how she’s doing. She checked on me just recently about coronavirus. I love Louise. She was great to work with.”
And while the daytime television world is certainly a very fast-paced one with actors memorizing dozens of pages of scripts each and every day, it was very easy for him to get back into the rhythm of things, especially with his co-star Louise.
“We have such a relationship that we can jump right back into it,” he notes. “It’s not a struggle. I don’t know if it looked easy. I haven’t done soaps in a while, but it certainly felt easy. Although it goes very fast now. It seems stressful.”
