Eileen Davidson (Ashley, Y&R)“I have a fear of flying, I don’t like being on an airplane at all. From takeoff to landing, it’s very unsettling to me. I once got hypnotized to get over that fear and it actually worked, but it lasts only for so long, then you’re supposed to get hypnotized again to renew it. I keep meaning to do that.”
Patrika Darbo (Shirley, B&B) “That I’ll suddenly become very thin and fat will be in [laughs]. Isn’t that the most irrational thing you could ever think of? I’m afraid that, ‘You lose your weight and suddenly everybody wants you to be heavy.’ Here I am dieting and suddenly Melissa McCarthy is a star and Chrissy Metz from THIS IS US is a star. That’s my fear!”
Courtney Hope
(Sally, B&B) “There is a Christmas song, and I’m not going to say the name of it because I know people would play it for me, but I just start crying every time I hear it. My entire spine feels like creepy crawlies are running all up and down it. It came on when I was younger and I was in my mom’s arms and I just wailed. Even now when I hear it, I have to run in the other direction.”
Lucas Adams
(Tripp, DAYS) “That all of my superstitions and routines really don’t affect anything and that they’re all just figments of my imagination.”
Emme
Rylan (Lulu, GH) “I have an irrational fear that there are sharks in my swimming pool. I only feel scared about that when I’m swimming alone. Then I know something is going to eat me!”
Chloe
Lanier (Nelle, GH) “I have an irrational fear of guys with really long fingernails. I don’t know why that has always freaked me out, but when I see guys with long nails, I instantly get knots in my stomach.”
Cait Fairbanks (Tessa, Y&R) “Oh, so many and I’m serious. Glass elevators freak me out, so I have to sit down and close my eyes. I also don’t like escalators because I have had so many nightmares that I’m on an infinite one and it just keeps going on and on. I can also get claustrophobic and don’t go into the ocean because I’m afraid of sharks. I have so many more but I don’t want to take up the rest of your day. Suffice it to say that I’m Ms. Phobia.”
