Doug Davidson (Paul, Y&R)
“I would want to direct because I like working with actors and we’ve got really talented ones.”
Courtney Hope (Sally, B&B)
“I think directing would be a fun job. At some point, that’s something I want to get into, that side of the business, so it’d be a great challenge to be on that side. Watching Heather [Tom, Katie] act and then direct has been really cool, seeing how she changes her demeanor — and because she’s an actor, she really understands it, which is cool, so I’d love to stand in those shoes for a minute.”
Sal Stowers (Lani, DAYS)
“Oh, maybe direct. That could be fun. I think I would want do that and kind of see a different side of the business. Being an actress, we’re in front of the lens, so it would be cool to be behind the scenes and paint the picture and put it all out there.”
Matthew Atkinson (Thomas, B&B)
“Who wouldn’t want to be
[Executive Producer/Head Writer] Brad Bell for a day? He determines the direction of the show and how it goes, and there’s a lot of creativity that goes into creating those scripts.”
Roger Howarth (Franco, GH)
“My first job in the theater was in the woodshop; I was a carpenter. I would love to build scenery. I think that would be great! The shop that they have here, I love going back there and seeing what they do. It’s like magic.”
Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth, GH)
“I would totally be into directing. I always direct everything in my head when I’m reading a script.”
Daniel Goddard (Cane, Y&R)
“I think head-writing, as much as I wouldn’t want to have that job because it’s a soul-crushing, all-consuming responsibility, would be an interesting challenge for a day.”
Don Diamont (Bill, B&B)
“I would like to do Ed’s [Scott, supervising producer] job, because then I’d find out what it’s like to be annoyed by me every day. Actually, it would be great to see the show from his perspective — and I’d be the one to get to tell everyone to ‘Hurry up!’ ”
