Katrina Bowden (Flo, B&B)
“Darin Brooks [Wyatt]. He’s my go-to when I have questions about anything. He’s the person I read with while I was in the process of getting the part, and he’s been super-welcoming and knows the ropes so well. I feel so comfortable going up to him and asking him anything.”
Garren Stitt (Oscar, GH)
“I’ve definitely gotten tips from
Tamara [Braun, Kim]. She’s taught me that it’s always good to take the time, zone out, take a deep breath and close your eyes, and
really just prepare for the scene.”
Michael Mealor (Kyle, Y&R)
“Peter Bergman [l.] and Jason Thompson.”
Thorsten Kaye (Ridge, B&B)
“It’s got to be John McCook [Eric, r.], Alley Mills [Pam] and Obba [Babatundé, Julius], because they’ve been around and they actually know what they’re talking about.”
Eden McCoy (Josslyn, GH)
“Laura Wright [Carly, l.], for sure.”
Eric Martsolf
(Brady, DAYS)
“John Aniston [Victor, r.].
The man is full of life
experiences, and that
is a thespian’s greatest weapon.”
Bryton James (Devon, Y&R)
“Take your pick — Eric [Braeden, Victor], Peter [Bergman, Jack], Christian [J. LeBlanc, Michael, near l.], Amelia [Heinle, Victoria], Doug [Davidson, Paul], Tracey [E. Bregman, Lauren], Lauralee [Bell, Christine], Camryn [Grimes, Mariah], Sharon [Case, Sharon], Daniel [Goddard, Cane], Jason [Thompson, Billy], Beth [Maitland, Traci], Jess [Walton, Jill], Hunter [King, Summer], Gina [Tognoni, Phyllis], Christel [Khalil, Lily], Melody [Thomas Scott, Nikki], Joshua [Morrow, Nick] — just to name a few, and in no particular order. I have the best teachers in daytime.”
Freddie Smith (Sonny, DAYS)
“I would have to go with Chandler [Massey, Will, r.]. I feel like I become a better actor every day working with him. We have a trust and this bond that we’ve built over the years. I think he’s exceptional at what he does, and I learn from him on a daily basis. Acting is all about reacting, listening to what the other person is saying, and being affected by that. Chandler has always made strong choices that keep me on my toes and creates a more authentic back and forth.”
