I am grateful that the fans picked up on why Nicole did what she did. Her mother took abuse and was later killed. She had a terrible childhood in terms of her father. As an actress, the reason Nicole was that she wanted support and love. I thought when I got the job, how do I keep the job? We see Nicole’s survival mechanisms kick through. Nicole’s been a character on this show for so many years and she hasn’t had a major family connection. How does it make you feel that despite Nicole’s actions fans feel that way? No matter how many times Nicole did bad things, people wanted her to be happy.

I didn’t understand sex appeal on TV or how to embody that, but he told me not to feel judged and to go with what I had and to feel good about it.
John taught me how to immerse myself in my character. I worked with him mostly when I first started. We’re a bunch of humans wanting to have a nice time together and share stories.Ī post shared by Ari Zucker did you react when you heard John Aniston (Victor) is getting the Lifetime Achievement Award? I’ve always loved being able to get together with other people from other soaps. I’ve met Cynthia and it’s nice to get together and reminisce and share what we’ve all been up to. The ‘Leading Ladies Luncheon’ is always so nice. How much tea is spilled at the annual Best Actress nominees luncheon, a tradition started by Susan Flannery (ex-Stephanie, Bold and the Beautiful) years ago. If I’m going to work with a villain, there couldn’t be a better one that Xander. Is it ever really a mistake to sleep with Xander? I love when the crew claps at the end.Ĭircling back to what you said earlier… Nicole made the mistake of sleeping with Xander. Whenever everyone’s rooting for you, it makes it more fun. I appreciate when everyone on set is looking out for you and each other. I would like to give credit where credit is due and it takes a village for your work to be great. I felt that closeness of the shots helped bring people into the scene. I loved the camera shots in that episode. Nicole had this great line that went something like “I’m a better person when I’m with Eric and he’s a better person when he’s not with me.”
But they still love each other very much. One wasn’t right about a decision to be gone for so long and the other to be with someone else. I loved those scenes because they were about two people who really love each other and have for 20 years but they realize they’re not on the same path. This is the aftermath of Eric finding out. When she’s figuring out how to tell him, Eric comes home to surprise her and he finds out what she’s done. Nicole’s been getting lonely and she makes the mistake of sleeping with Xander. These poor characters! Eric had been away helping villages in Africa. He and Nicole and Eric are in turmoil – as they always are. It’s a scene, of course, with Greg Vaughan.
There are always so many great performances. You submit yourself and you hope you have a shot. It’s always such a wonderful surprise and it’s so nice. I found out just a little bit before it was announced on The Talk. How did you learn the news?Īriane Zucker: Thank you! I was at work.
