Don't look now BUT...we're sitting in Brady's Pub!
MITM was invited down to the set of DAYS OF OUR LIVES for their first Meet & Greet with working Soap MOMZ and DADZ!
We arrived and were greeted immediately in the lobby and escorted to a larger room where 4 other Mom Bloggers and Sony’s lovely PR Rep were waiting. As introductions were made, MITM met fireball Loraine Bobbit; (yes you read correctly), self proclaimed DAYS Expert & most FANACTIC FAN ALIVE since 1984!
As she spontaneously gave our Mommy group DAYS trivia, facts and storyline secrets the minute our guided tour of Studio 3 & 4 began, (location of shooting DAYS for the last 15 years,) Angelyna & I made a quick mental note-she was hard core and we LOVED her!!
DAYS FACTS:
At any one given time, a crew of 150-200 members are working hard to give us our daily fix of Bo and Hope’s family “secret”, Sami’s profound grief stricken choice/loyalty issues, Lucas assisting Will with his life changing choices, (YES Luscas is BACK starting February 29th) and Jack and Jennifer’s ongoing roller coaster ride called marriage.
Simply put, Soap DRAMA…the addiction we all usually try to hide and deny.
EXCEPT for Loraine…and that’s WHY we loved her!!! She embraced it, wore it like an well earned cloak of Accomplishment. Our proud peacock.
As we were led into another corridor lined with framed photos of the entire DAYS cast on their historical anniversaries, IT happened.
Loraine Bobbit grabbed her throat and let out a moan only a die hard Soap Fan can. Right in front of us was none other than GORGEOUS Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Without hesitation, our fireball stepped right up to Brady and requested a photo. Not any photo though, when Angelyna was in position to snap this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she INSTRUCTED Eric “Look at me-look deep in my eyes!” AHHHHH! YOU GO GIRL!!! Truly, this went down as one of MITM’s All Time Favorite On Location Moments!!
Without blinking an eye, Eric seamlessly replied, “Its a good thing I like redheads!”
Days of Our Lives and Momz In The Mix...what could be better??
After photos were taken, the interview portion of our Day With Days began. Here’s what we learned:
Arianne Zucker; (NICOLE WALKER), not only is a very committed MOMZ in the MIX and talented working Soap actress, she also is a Mompreneur who started Life Change. Along side Jason Cook (GENERAL HOSPITAL), together they took her idea and founded this organization which is dedicated to empowering others, especially young people, to better their lives through mentoring and career placement. For more information on how to get involved, become a mentor or even submit someone you know who would benefit from Arianne’s inspiring Program, please visit lifechangetheshow.com.
Sarah Brown; (MADISON JAMES), is a very hard working and very honest single mom of beautiful Jordan-the light of her life! “Addressing issues as a single mom in Hollywood has the same hardships as in any MOMZ life. I just take them one day at a time and remember to breathe…DEEP!”
Bryan Dittalo; (LUCAS HORTON), loves being a dad to his son Gabriel, (Gabriel’s mom being one of MITM’s FAVORITE MOMZ…Jessica DeNay; founder of Hot Moms Club). They’ve found a beautiful way to co-parent together and keep Gabriel first in all decisions. This truly is great to hear as so many broken homes turn into war.
Get ready DAYS fans...Lucas is back starting February 29th!
All in all, we had a fantastic day! Thank you to all of the DAYS cast who shared stories from the sets and their hearts!
