When he died, I handled it the best way I could as a 19-year-old, which was … not to tell anybody. ![]() At that point, I didn’t realize his smile masked what I now think was a lifetime of depression. He was an exuberant man everyone wanted his attention. When he was on dates with my mom, women would leave him their numbers. My dad had been a living whirlwind and human wild card. ![]() That’s what made walking away earlier this year such a difficult decision. Although it was a demanding and grueling job, I did amazing things while playing Gabi Hernandez - things I never would’ve been able to do on any other set, like being kidnapped eight times or causing a gas explosion that might destroy the entire town or doing my own stunts and getting tackled or blowing up a person’s wedding. I can’t keep track of the birthdays, anniversaries and holidays I missed, all because of “Days of Our Lives.” When I look back, “Days of Our Lives” was the days of my life.Īnd it was worth it, because I got to do what I loved, every single day: act. Countless hours on set, filming anywhere between 50 and 60 scenes a day.
