Actor Roundup

Doug Davidson (Paul, Y&R) “When Eva Longoria [ex-Isabella] got married over the weekend to Tyler Christopher [ex-Nikolas, GH, in 2002] with no clue that it was a possibility. On that Monday, she says to me, ‘Guess what I did over the weekend?’ ”

Courtney Grosbeck (Coco, B&B) “That three of the Spectra gang — me, Danube [Hermosillo, Darlita, r.] and Alex [Wyse, Saul] — have all appeared on MODERN FAMILY. That was very surprising to me when I first heard about it.”

Hayley Erin (Kiki, GH) “I live far from the studio, out in the Valley, and I could not believe it when I found out that Chloe Lanier [Nelle, r.] used to live near me and go to acting class a couple of blocks from my house. It shocked me that we’d never met and that she lived as far out as I do.”

Courtney Hope (Sally, B&B) “What a hard worker Pierson [Fodé, Thomas] is — in every aspect. I’m not just talking about B&B. He’s really inspiring. He is someone who is constantly striving to accomplish his dreams in every way possible.”

Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren, Y&R) “The biggest surprise for me was years ago, when I heard Beth Maitland [Traci, r.] sing for the first time. She sounded so amazing and it blew me away.”

Christopher Sean (Paul, DAYS) “Freddie Smith [Sonny, l.] and I both grew up playing chess. There is a chessboard at the studio. I taught him a four-move chess move, and then we started going back and forth, speaking our competitive smack talk to each other. So, Freddie is very competitive when it comes to playing chess, and he likes to talk smack.”

Lauren Koslow (Kate, DAYS) “Thaao Penghlis [Andre] is full of surprises. I’m trying to talk him into going to the Venice Biennale this year. It’s a fantastic art exhibit. I’m surprised that he’s never been. He tells me that he’s been to Venice [Italy], and I believe him. I’m trying to fix that [laughs].”
