Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth, GH) “Oh, it’s way more fun to play bad! I can’t do that stuff in my regular life — there would be serious consequences to being that type of person! So, yeah, I love it when Liz breaks out with some craziness.”
Stacy Haiduk (Kristen/Susan, DAYS) “I like playing bad. Those characters have so many more layers to who they are and why they are the way they are. A good person is sweet and delightful and that can be fun, but the darker the person the more layers you have to peel.”
Sean Kanan (Deacon, B&B) “I like the shades of gray. Good people do bad things and bad people do good things. Deacon’s made tons of mistakes but he has these flashes of decency and humor. He’s not somebody who’s twirling his mustache all the time.”

Annika Noelle (Hope, B&B) “Bad. All day, every day. Good gets boring.”
Inga Cadranel (Harmony, GH) “Bad is really fun. The only downside is that with social media nowadays, people can be nasty or downright cruel. They can forget the actor generally has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline or what they say; we just get our pages and make it work on screen. I mean, I can’t be any less like Harmony in real life!”
Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea, Y&R) “Always more fun to play bad. It’s important to be a good person in real life, but on these shows, the more bad things you can do to people, the better!”
Tina Huang (Melinda, DAYS) “Bad. That’s something that you delve into that most people don’t get to do. I like to think about it in my senses and really revel in it. I don’t get to act out in my life, daily, so getting to play a character who does is delicious.”
