No, it couldn't all be bad the way Stonebreaker insisted it was. There were people who hid the children from the sanctioned murderers; people who looked the horror in the eye and said, no, no, you can't do it any more, we're against you even if you kill us. Thus had Sweeney's friends acted, and they had redeemed belief and tradition for millions.

I ain't inspired any more, Sherm; there was this painting I saw in the museum in Amsterdam. It was called 'Christ Preaching in the House of Mary and Martha.' And the whole foreground of the picture, maybe three-fourths of the canvas, is a kitchen in one of them Dutch houses, and there's a cook plucking chickens. All around her there's dead rabbits, pheasants, turkeys, ducks, sides of beef, six kinds of fish, clams, oysters, potatoes, apples, eggplant, kohlrabi, rutabaga, carrots, Swiss chard, and God knows what else.

Bryan Dattilo played Lucas for many years—he and I started on the show at about the same time, but his character disappeared from Days (it happens all the time on soaps!) for a short time, only to return in 2002. Over the years, Bryan and I have had so many fun scenes together, whether we’re being affectionate or we’re at each other’s throats.

He and I have had our share of very physical scenes—we’re either fighting (Sami has choked Lucas on several occasions), or I’m passed out and he’s saving my life (My hero!). We’ve been together on camera so many times over the years that sometimes a word or a line will remind us of something funny that’s happened in the past, and we’ll both break up laughing. It’s been so much fun to work with him again.

It’s an inherent problem we women have. We’re all attracted to the bad boy…the lone wolf…the one who can’t be tamed. We think we can tame him and all we do is get hurt in the process.
