THE NADIA BJORLIN AND SHAWN CHRISTIAN INTERVIEW – DAYS OF OUR LIVES

shawnNadiaMain.jpg

Dr. Daniel and Chloe have been heating up Salem with their illicit affair for months now. However, with Kate ready to bring them both down with a serious and deadly revenge plot, Lucas’s memories prior to his accident returning to him, and his AA sponsor, Maggie trying to protect him, me thinks, the sexiest couple on daytime television is about to be in serious hot water!

On-Air On-Soaps chatted with two of the sexiest stars to ever grace daytime screens, Shawn Christian and Nadia Bjorlin, about all things DANLOE, and the twists and turns that Dr. Daniel and Chloe have gone through to hide their feelings from the ones they love…. and yet, that magnetic pull that continually draws them together.

Always funny, witty, and charming… here are Nadia and Shawn!

Listen to the audio:

[display_podcast]

MICHAEL:

Nadia, what did you think when you found out you were going to be paired with “hottie” Dr. Daniel?

NADIA:

I wake up dreading my day, and coming to the office. (She laughs) No, it’s the best job in the world, please. We have a really good time at work and we get paid for it. What else could I ask for?

MICHAEL:

Shawn, when you found out that you and Nadia were going to be paired together, what did you think?

SHAWN:

I wanted to re-negotiate my contract. (He laughs) No, I was like, “You don’t have to pay me.”

MICHAEL:

Chole and Daniel… why are they sustaining this affair, and why can’t they stop?

NADIA:

First of all, Chloe is crazy now.

MICHAEL:

I’m still having trouble knowing that she is friends with Nicole!

chloePraying.jpgNADIA:

I know, right? Let’s start there. We have all forgotten about our pasts on this show and completely taken new paths. Chloe has thought that this is some act of God. She asked God for forgiveness and redemption. Now, at this point, she believes that everything that has happened is a sign from God, and God is telling her to be a certain way, I guess. I don’t know. I never thought Chloe to be the really religious type or that kind of character, but I think when people are seeking something, they get desperate. They will look for anything as sort of a sign, and this is what she has found.

MICHAEL:

So, Dr. Daniel has tried to stay away from the beautiful Chloe, and then you seem drawn back together…. for comfort?
Um… I think it’s more than that!

SHAWN:

I do turn back for comfort. No, it’s not comfort. We have moments of weakness for God sakes! What you have got now are two people who are really trying to do the right thing, trying to make the best out of this situation. Daniel does want Lucas and Chloe to be happy, but the personal demons keep haunting him at night, whenever he sees her. That is why he is trying to keep the walls at bay, and Kate specifically. Just let them be happy and try to put this in the past.

MICHAEL:

Lucas does not know yet, and Kate holds all the cards now.

SHAWN:

She is tormenting both of us. Kate kind of toys with me and she will goad at Daniel, just keeping it a secret. The thing about Daniel is, he knows Kate wants her son ultimately to be happy. His ace in the hole is you might tell him anyway, because you want your son to be happy, and if you do, you just might screw up something for your son.

firingChloe.jpgMICHAEL:

I thought it was hilarious that Kate fired Chloe from her TV show. Where did this TV show come into the equation? When was Chloe an on-air personality?

NADIA:

Oh, yeah. Well, Kate’s company decided to start a TV show. Basically, a Martha Stewart type of show, but she wanted it for a younger generation. Kate asked Chloe to host the show since Chloe doesn’t work. She wants Chloe to work for her. Then, she can start to tangle this wicked web. She has some revenge plot up her sleeve that she is obviously keeping that from all of us.

SHAWN:

She tangles it in front of us, and she has some sort of master plan.

NADIA:

She does have a master plan.

MICHAEL:

So, Kate fired Chloe under the guise that Chloe looks horrible on camera?

shawnGlamour.jpgNADIA:

It was out of pure anger when she revealed to Chloe that she knows about the affair. Kate says, “I owe Daniel something.” And to Daniel she says,  “Listen, I am not going to say anything because I owe you for my sons life, and for my life, and you have done a lot of good for my family.” But then comes to Chloe and says, “I don’t owe you a thing. I have my eye on you and I won’t say anything because I want my son to be happy, but you are basically at my beck and call. If you slip up once, you’re dead, literally and figuratively!”

MICHAEL:

But, Daniel tried to leave Salem this week, but alas…

SHAWN:

He can’t take it anymore! He is so frustrated, and he can’t sleep and he can’t put this behind him, like he thought he would. What has him so pissed off is that Chloe is sacrificing her own happiness for Lucas, when in fact he thinks he was happier with her but more miserable when he was alone. So, Daniel decides to leave, and before he leaves he has a run in with Chloe, which changes his mind. A comforting run-in, can I say that? (He laughs)

MICHAEL:

How do you justify Daniel’s motivations? Is he truly still a “womanizer”?

SHAWN:

Well, now I think he is more surprised that he is so taken with this woman, Chloe. So, no, I don’t see him as a womanizer and I never really did. What I do see is someone who lives life to the fullest. If he has feelings he will go with them, fortunately or unfortunately, without regards to the consequences. But, that’s how he lives his life, and unfortunately some people got wounded. Now he is left with pieces to pick up.

kate.jpgMICHAEL:

What does he feel for Kate now; Daniel has gone through so much with her, including a romance?

SHAWN:

Ironically, it’s funny. I get a lot of static from people telling me that you went from the grandmother to the granddaughter and now you went to the town slut…..

NADIA:

Hey!

MICHAEL:

And before this she was, “Ghoul Girl”?

NADIA:

I know, and define slut? I have been with 3 other men on the show. She has only been married to Brady and Phillip, and then Lucas, and now Dr. Dan. But c’mon, in a span of a lifetime?

SHAWN:

C’mon, and I did not sleep with the granddaughter Chelsea, or Lexie. For some reason, I am attached to that…

NADIA:

I think it’s you and any woman you are in a room with!

SHAWN:

I think it’s come to that now. They might as well go, “I think Bo and Daniel are having an affair.”

NADIA:

Honey, it’s a gift! You just have it. I think there are some DANDY fans now, and that would be the acronym for Brady and Daniel!

SHAWN:

I think that happens whenever I am in a scene now with somebody new.

hotkiss.jpgMICHAEL:

Daniel and Chloe have
their own name.

NADIA:

DANLOE!

SHAWN:

I like to call them “Nasty, wild crazy.” It’s funny! It took the fans awhile to come out of the closet for us.

NADIA:

I know they were all ashamed to love us for a while!

SHAWN:

Someone would mention it, and you would see a few people cower in the corner!

NADIA:

People felt dirty liking this couple, which was great!

MICHAEL:

Lucas has memory flashes this week, where all of this could come flooding back and remember his wife’s betrayal, or not? Boy, it’s taken what?… four or five months now?

NADIA:

God love, Bryan Dattilo (Lucas).

MICHAEL:

How dumb can they make poor Lucas, and continue to dummy down the men on “DAYS”?

dattillo.jpgNADIA:

Yeah, that is sort of how they played it out and it’s consistent with his character, though. Lucas is continually hurt, and I don’t want to lump myself in that category of women who dupe him but…

MICHAEL:

Well, sorry you did (He laughs)

NADIA:

Well, Chloe is not as bad as all the things that Sámi or Nicole has done in the past.

SHAWN:

Personally, Lucas would not believe that Daniel and Chloe had anything to do with each other.

MICHAEL:

Isn’t it just so uncomfortable for Daniel to be around Lucas?

SHAWN:

Daniel gets frustrated with Lucas. He thinks, “Oh, I don’t know why he is very washy- washy about his relationship with Chloe.” Daniel thinks, “You have to be kidding me? If you have this woman in this relationship and in your life… go for it… skip the rest and stop worrying about all the other crap.”

MICIHAEL:

Do you think Daniel and Chloe are the end game for each other?

NADIA:

That a good question, because you never know around here.

MICHAEL. …

Well, that’s an understatement!

NADIA:

Sometimes, you really believe your story is going in one direction, and then you are completely blindsided.

MICHAEL

I have no idea what you are talking about! (He laughs)

SHAWN:

At one point, Daniel and Chloe are going to run away together, and in another script they are running away from one another.

drDaniel.jpgMICHAEL:

Has Daniel ever told any of his other women that he loved them?

SHAWN:

I have never told anyone I loved them, except Chloe….just defending myself. (He laughs)

MICHAEL:

Does Chloe truly love Daniel?

NADIA:

She is in love with Daniel. This is an age-old question, and it’s what I like about this whole scenario. It goes to show, that there are different levels of love. You can love people differently. People think
there is this ideal version of love and only one way you can love somebody. But, you can love somebody or be in love with somebody. It’s kind of when you have a first love and you end up laughing about it year’s later. I think that is what is so wonderful about being human, and I think that is where Chloe is. She loves Lucas, but maybe she never realized she could be in love with somebody else. So, she is trying to do the right thing, but she was caught off guard by this deep passionate love by somebody else.

SHAWN:

Love is not always found in a pretty package. It’s was not wrapped in a pretty little bow, and it caught them both off guard. The next thing you know, they were on the crazy train to nowhere.

MICHAEL:

How has “DAYS” changed from months ago, when there were all the cast cuts of the veterans? How are people feeling over at the set now, in regards to fearing for their jobs?

SHAWN:

It’s pretty calm and chill, but then again, I live in a cave down here.

nadiaBlue.jpgNADIA:

I always feel I am the last one to know anything about anything. I think things are pretty good, and the energy around here is pretty great. We all work so well together, and we enjoy being with each other. There is a great camaraderie, so
I can’t complain.

SHAWN:

Can I complain about Nadia now? (He laughs)

MICHAEL:

Speaking of Nadia, if you were to describe her in a few words, what would you say?

SHAWN:

One word…delicious!

MICHAEL:

Nadia, your turn.

NADIA:

That I can say in public? Just kidding. I am honored, and I have the best time working with Shawn. He is a true professional and he really makes showing up to work exciting. He is always challenging me because he really loves his job and he loves his work. It makes me want to be a better actor. It’s true. I feel fortunate to work with him and I hope that translates.

MICHAEL:

Nadia, you and the “DAYS” cast have a big fan event coming up this weekend. Tell us about it. It is something that hits very close to home.

glances.jpgNADIA:

My father was a conductor and composer of classical music, and he was a wonderful musician and wonderful dad. I am one of his six children and he passed away when I was thirteen years old. He had a profound effect on my entire family, so I have always been interested in helping out with The Leukemia and Lymphoma society, and I think everything in life happens for a reason. And, there was this storyline years ago where Chloe had leukemia, and then I was the Ambassador for The Leukemia and Lymphoma society, and it sort of has been ever-present in my life. So, I was glad to help them out. I am actually throwing a charity event during the unofficial “DAYS” fan club weekend. That starts out Friday night with the Annual Jim Reynolds Basketball game, which is its 20th year of doing that. Then on Saturday, Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols have an event at the Sportsman’s Lodge in Studio City. Then our event is from 6-10pm that night, and it’s cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. We have an amazing turn out from the cast. I am going, Shawn is going, as well as Darin Brooks, Molly Burnett, Eric Martsolf, Shelley Hennig, Bryan Datillo, Rachel Melvin, Arianne Zuker, James Scott, Brandon Beemer and Galen Gering. They are all showing up and giving their time, and it’s a fun mingling cocktail party for the weekend. So, we are using that fun time for the fans to chat with us, and to make some money. All the proceeds go to The Leukemia and Lymphoma society, and you can find out all the details at www.dayscharityevents.com!

danloe endgame

I love Danloe!! I mean I think if the relationship had started out honestly, it would have worked out better, but at the same time you cannot deny their love for each other.

I miss Danloe! The audio doesn’t match the interview. I wanna hear it. 🙁

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.

Days of our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Shares Sudden Health Scare: “I Truly Feel Like I Work & Live in a Soap Opera!”

What started out as an adventure with his sons, quickly turned into a nightmare for Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).

In a series of Instagram posts, Vaughan shared the sudden health crisis he found himself in.  The images show Greg with an oxygen tank to help him breathe.

The actor began to fill people, sharing, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! 🤪 this trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!”

He went on to say that on a father and son Colorado spring break trip, he began to feel shortness of breath, feeling tired and with a headache and after two days of hoping he would feel better, Vaughan finally went to an Urgent Care to get checked out.

Photo: GVaughanIG

“I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness.” Vaughan admitted. “My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”

Providing more detail to his health scare, Greg shared, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”

Photo: JPI

The experience of altitude sickness in the Colorado Rockies gave Vaughan a bit of a new perspective, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke! As they say, ‘ take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recover”

Share your well-wishes to Greg as he continues to be on the mend via the comment section below.
