“I think I took a year off and came back and they didn’t tell me what the story was going to be,” Nichols said. us before sharing the author’s incredible vision for his character’s return. “‘You will be Stephen. ‘Someone will plant a chip in your head and you will become Stefano in Steve’s body.’ I was like, ‘Wow, okay. Where is the money? Are you going to pay me a little extra for that?’ That was the biggest plot twist I’ve ever experienced. “It was really fun.”
martha madison
“First of all, the most popular thing in the history of our show is demonic possession,” Madison said, recalling the 1994 storyline of Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). “I mean, how many shows would dare tell his story like that? And most recently, when we retold the story, the devil was jumping from character to character. So we all have to play it.”
Madison also couldn’t help but laugh as she looked back on how her character, Belle, ended up having a baby with Shawn (Brandon Beemer).
“I always love telling the story of how my child was conceived. “Because I got pregnant while we were both in a hypothermic coma and I didn’t even know we had ever slept together,” she said. us. “It wasn’t until several years later that we found out she was ours. We think, ‘Wait a minute, what happened?’ “To enjoy a soap opera, you have to be able to suspend reality.”
Susan Hayes
“I remember the day the principals of the cast were involved in a turret, from which a cascade of stones was thrown at the cast, which may or may not have covered them and killed them,” Hayes recalled. “Nobody wanted to do that because we didn’t double up. At that time, our producer said, ‘It’ll be okay.’ It was almost like the day we all jumped out of a plane and the day we all jumped out of a boat and into a tank. Other than that, it’s just a day in soap opera land.”
Billy Flynn
“They created a microchip storyline where they put the essence of Stefano – his brain – into a microchip and put it into Stephen Nichols, who plays Patch.” Flynn said. “So Patch became Stefano, my father. It was a really cool moment because it set aside absurdity and disbelief. I recently saw a scene where they were trying to take out the microchip and my dad was saying goodbye to us and it was a patch. He has one eye and it says ‘I love you’. ‘I love you’ was expressed in Stefano’s accent. “It was a really surreal moment.”

And when I created the Tie Killer storyline that influenced me. What seemed like a closing door ended up opening a huge door, which was fantastic.”
Cherry Jimenez
Jimenez’s biggest OMG moment came on her third day on set playing Gabi Hernández. “I’ve been debunking for years the fact that no one knew the actual paternity of Baby Jude, who was not EJ’s baby and was actually Nicole’s baby and Eric’s baby,” Jimenez said. “I came in like a bat out of hell and just laid it all out. I didn’t waste any time. I basically came in guns blazing. I also did so at a press conference in honor of EJ who released me from prison and returned the favor by exposing the truth. Another day in Salem.”
