Backstage Pass


From Soap Opera Digest, July 18, 2006

Steve, along with Rebecca Herbst (Liz) and Natalia Livingston (Emily) were asked to give their opinions on their castmates. Here's what thy had to say:

Biggest Pranksters: Steve, and Maurice Benard (Sonny)

"Is it stupid if I say myself? If no one else says me, then I'm really stupid because I acted like I was and I'm not. But it's me." - Burton
"Definitely Steve, which is why when I first started working with him, I wasn't always so comfortable. I was afraid of what was coming next, but now I can take it." - Herbst
"Steve and Maurice, for sure. It's hard to separate them because a lot of the times it's a tag-team effort." - Livingston


Best Gossip: The hair and makeup depertment

"Hair and makeup. That's the nerve center of the show. There's a mole in there somewhere. I will find them." - Burton
"The makeup depertment, for sure. They're all-knowing." - Livingston


The Mother Hen: Herbst

"Becky Herbst. She's a mother. There are no two ways about it." - Burton
"Becky. She's caring and protective and has all of those great, motherly instincts." - Livingston
"I can't stop being a mom. When I see somebody who needs to be taken care of, I just do it. I'm very nurturing and it doesn't stop when I come to work. But I know sometimes it bugs people. Greg [Vaughan, Lucky] is constantly saying, 'Yes, Mother,' because I tend to mother him a lot. Is that weird for me to say myself [laughs]?"


Best Secret Keeper: Livingston and Burton

"Natalia's a very trustworthy person. For a guy, Steve. Those are the two I would go to." - Herbst
"I'm pretty good at that, actually. Or Steve. He's definitely trustworthy." - Livingston
