DANCING With Alexa Havins
Alexa Havins (ex-Babe) may have left the cast of ALL MY CHILDREN, but she’s still rooting for Cameron Mathison (Ryan) on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Here, she weighs in on his chances.
Soap Opera Weekly: What was your reaction when you found out Cameron would be competing?
Alexa Havins: I told him, ‘I am going to be front row, screaming for you.’ He’ll do so well. He has the best personality, and he’s hilarious. His heart alone is going to win people over. Melissa (Claire Egan, Annie) and I were saying that the outtakes [alone] could win this for him. He has the best one-liners. I think the most interesting part [of the show] is the dark horse you didn’t think would be a good dancer. Somebody is going to emerge, and Cameron — we might be surprised! ‘Wait a minute, Casanova, where’d you learn how to dance?’
Weekly: He’s got a lot on his plate, doesn’t he?
Havins: It’s hard to work schedules with him being on the East Coast, but I’m so glad they made it work for him. He’s always in front-burner stories. The guy is always running to something, and on top of that, he has two kids. He’s Superman, for sure.
Weekly: Do you think he’s got a big enough fan base to pull this off?
Havins: It’s not just ABC daytime fans, it’s [all] daytime fans. A PASSIONS viewer, or a DAYS or BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL viewer is going to respect the fact that he’s one of our boys, he’s a daytime actor. On top of that, I don’t care who it is, [if anyone] watches him for two weeks, they’re going to fall in love with him.
