Darin Brooks (Wyatt, B&B) “Be careful about eating when you’re on vacation, because you never know when you’re going to come back to a love scene. It’s okay to indulge a bit, but just don’t go crazy. They do try and give you notice for those but hey, schedules change, so you just never know. Better safe than sorry!”
