Here's the DAYS-related stuff:

GM: Days of Our Lives, let’s talk about that. How do you like working with Galen Gering (Rafe)?

AS: Oh, it’s been so fun getting to know Galen. I mean, we’ve known each other for nine years since he started Passions, and I get to see him longer than that now. And it’s funny to have known him for so long through NBC events and stuff like that and then to all of a sudden be working together in a storyline. It’s been wonderful. I think he’s a very talented actor. We have fun working together, and it’s nice. It’s a new, different storyline for Sami.

GM: He’s caught on with a lot of fans, and many seem to be rooting for the pairing of Rafe and Sami.

AS: Safe?

GM: Yes!

AS: Yeah, it’s been fun to see that reaction, to see people getting on board with that.

GM: And Dylan Patton, he’s doing a great job as Will. How do you like working with him?

AS: He’s cute! He’s a good kid. It’s sort of overwhelming to me sometimes to realize my character has a sixteen-year-old, but I love working with him and it’s been fun getting to know him and getting used to having Will on the canvas like that as a teenager, and in some ways I think a reflection of myself. You know I started when I was sixteen and it’s so funny that I have that full circle feeling. But he’s great, he’s talented, he’s fun to work with, and I enjoy the dynamics Sami has with Will, so we’ve been having fun.

GM: And I saw that you mentioned so much awesome stuff is happening right now. Does that mean that Sami’s going to try and stop the wedding between E.J. and Nicole?

AS: Oh yeah, it’s very exciting! There’s a lot of good stuff happening on the show and you couldn’t imagine how this storyline is progressing with Nicole. She’s got a lot to balance with all these secrets that she’s keeping and it’s definitely a very tangled web. And Sami’s got her own secrets, so it’s definitely like I said...I don’t know if I mentioned it in my blog, but what Ari (Zucker, Nicole) and I were talking about is that every person in the story, every character has such a strong motive of where they’re coming from and such strong feelings about their side of the situation. So I think that makes it so compelling to tell and such a great, classic soap story and taking it in a really interesting direction. As a fan, you can imagine what emotional levels there are to every step of this story. From Sami’s point of view, hopefully the truth coming out eventually and finding out that she’s still in love with this beautiful little girl Grace. I think there are so many beats to play out in the story and as actors we relish that opportunity. Even just the moment where Sami had to tell them that she had adopted a baby. You know from Sami’s perspective the idea that the lie is so painful to her, but she’s doing it for the baby’s benefit. So having E.J. be so nice to her all of a sudden, compassionate, and trying to help her and all that, it’s just interesting.

GM: And it was so nice to see you working with Bryan (Dattilo, Lucas) again yesterday. I really miss seeing Lucas and Sami together.

AS: I do too! I am definitely a long-standing Lumi fan and I miss working with Bryan every day. He is so fun! I was in a scene the other day and looking around, like he and I have such a history together, for some inside joke and he wasn’t on the set. It’s just strange when I don’t get to work with him all the time.

GM: Is there any glimmer of hope for Lumi or it is pretty much over?

AS: You know, I do not believe in being hopeless. I think on this soap anything is possible, and I think that Lucas and Sami obviously have a history. We find that every time we work together there is so much past between them. I love the fact that she chose to confide in him and the fact that it was so painful for her to lie to him in the first place, to not tell him the truth about Grace. It speaks a lot about their history and their friendship.....their past is such a deep relationship and ultimately a friendship and a trust that they have with each other. No matter what they say, no matter what the words that are coming out of their mouths, there’s obviously a lot underneath it all. So I took that as a sign that, you know, never say never I guess is all I can say. Because ultimately, I don’t write the show. I don’t know where it’s going. All I know is the scripts I hold in my hand.

GM: You just have chemistry with all the men.

AS: Oh, thank you! And the hard thing for me is that, I feel like it’s hard for me to speak to it because I always want to make sure that I don’t want to take away from the other storylines or relationships that Sami has on the show. And I don’t want people to think I prefer one over the other or have favorites or whatever it is. I love walking in Sami’s shoes, I mean she is certainly a lucky girl. They are all very good-looking, wonderful men, and I’m really lucky to work with all of them.

YAH new Ali interview! I feel like I haven't read one in forever especially one about Lumi. I love how Ali gives us great hope and it's so sweet how she misses working with Bryan. I miss them working together too. Hopefully we have more lumi scenes in the future.

Well, of course Ali is a Lumi fan - she has been for years! And it's always nice to see her gush so much about it. She knows them better than to think they'll ever be over.

(Now if only she'd recognize that speaking out against rapemance isn't "playing favorites" and that that's one storyline that should be "taken away from.")
At my favorite site, Second Chances
We celebrate all Lumi's glances
Whether longing and sweet
Or of passion and heat
It's the greatest of all romances!

That was a great interview. I love Ali. She's so sweet. And I know that her and Bryan are great friends. They have been for years. I'm sure she would love to work with him again, like they used to.

OMG Long standing Lumi fan!!! As in still a Lumi fan. Yay. :yay: I was a little doubtful of whether she still was. {em)

Ali loves Lumi!!! Even with the very few scenes they share together nowadays, those scenes have so much history and depth to them. :wub:
