Stacy Haiduk returned to All My Children last week.
She recently opened up to Soap Opera Digest about her comeback. Here are highlights from the interivew:
Soap Opera Digest: Welcome back! Did you know, when you left in May, that a return might be in the offing?
Stacy Haiduk: I'll just say this: Probably in the middle of shooting [my first run], I looked at Thorsten Kaye and I said, "This is so much fun. You guys are the luckiest people on earth because you get to have a life outside of work as well." In nighttime, you work 14 or 15 hours a day, you come home exhausted, and that's it. Here, you usually work the morning shift or the afternoon shift.
Thorsten said to me, "Why don't you go down to Julie [Hanan Carruthers, executive producer] and just let her know how you feel?" I was like, "Okay!" And so I did. I just told her, "This is so much fun. I'd love to come back. I have no idea how this works, but...." And she said, "You know, let's see what happens." I'm very blessed that I got "Hannah comes back!" It's pretty awesome.
Digest: In your time off, were you given problems by any Zach and Kendall fans?
Haiduk: I didn't, thank God! I noticed that they are very loved and I was very lucky not to. I hope they don't come after me and say, "Don't you dare!"
Digest: Do you know what happened between Zach and Hannah that last night when she begged him to impregnate her?
Haiduk: I don't. Thorsten and I keep looking at each other going, "What happened?" But I'm sure we'll all find out very soon.
Tomorrow is the day All My Children fans have been waiting for:
Stacy Haiduk will return as Hannah Nichols, Zachary Slater's (Thorsten Kaye) ex-lover. Viewers last saw Haiduk in May, but the 39-year-old actress made it clear at the time to executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers that she wanted to come back.
I just told her, This is so much fun.I'd love to come back. I have no idea how this works, but...And she said, 'You know, let's see what happens. I'm very blessed that I got 'Hannah comes back! It's pretty awesome," Haiduk told Soap Opera Digest and BuddyTV reported.
Haiduk, known for portraying Lana Lang in the Superboy series, first joined the cast of All My Children in March. While working on the series, she came to enjoy the more flexible work schedule of daytime television.
"Probably in the middle of shooting [my first run], I looked at Thorsten and I said, This is so much fun. You guys are the luckiest people on earth because you get to have a life outside of work as well,'' Haiduk said. In nighttime, you work 14 or 15 hours a day, you come home exhausted, and that's it. Here, you usually work the morning shift or the afternoon shift.
