The Stacy Haiduk Interview – The Young and the Restless
© JPI Studios
Who has been consistently captivating soap opera audiences with her mesmerizing performances of Patty Williams and Emily Peterson, and let’s not forget, when Patty was pretending to be a woman named Mary Jane Benson? Who kept us on the edge of our seats through most of 2009, and into 2010, not knowing whether we were going to scream in horror, or cry for her sad existence? Who got snubbed for an Outstanding Supporting Actress nomination for the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards? And finally, who is really the cat’s meow? Well, the answer is quite simply, actress Stacy Haiduk from The Young and the Restless.
Now, with Patty locked up and regressed to a little girl, and Emily falling apart at the seams trying to get her own life back, and Adam’s “murder” still not close to being solved, Stacy Haiduk is still turning out riveting performances. On-Air On-Soaps caught up with Stacy to talk about: Kitties, Emmy reels, competition, the heartbreak of playing Patty, working with her co-stars, Doug Davidson (Paul) and Peter Bergman (Jack), and how her actor husband, Bradford Tatum, was a calming and steady force during some of Stacy’s most traumatic on-set days.
And in the end, find out who does Stacy think is truly the better psychologist, Emily or the deranged Patty? Her answer may surprise you. It’s always great to speak with the emotionally raw and edgy Ms. Haiduk, and I hope you will enjoy her even more after reading her revealing comments below.
MICHAEL:
Ok, Stacy let’s get right to this. Your Emmy snub is probably one of the most talked about in the history of the Daytime Emmy nominations. Everyone was certain that you were a lock for your performance as Emily/Patty/Mary Jane this past year, and unfortunately it did not happen. How are you feeling at this moment? It has to be extremely, extremely disappointing for you.
STACY:

It was shocking, and I was really disappointed. I was excited about it because I really wanted to be a part of this group this year. And you have to also know it is what it is. I always have to say that I still won in my own mind because of the people I got to work with, and it’s continuing, and that is a success right now. I know that is not the disappointing part of how I am feeling, but I try not to go into that part of it. It’s hard. You sit there and go, “Was my tape not good enough? Or, what happened?”
MICHAEL:
What reel did you decide to submit for Emmy contention?
STACY:
I submitted the remote with Eric Braeden as Victor, and Peter Bergman as Jack, and I had the gun Patty was getting upset with Jack for not seeing her as his wife and loving her, and feeling how could he do that? I thought it had enough emotional levels to show where I could go as an actress. It sucks that you can’t have two shows to show your work. One show is not easy to do to choose from. You have the build up in one, and the finale in the other, which is why I like the idea of two tapes. However, I thought this is enough to get me in. I am working with two leading actors, and I thought it would be a good enough tape to show people. You just kind of go, “OK. Or, maybe the wig scared them!” You know, the blonde wig! (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
This whole Emmy judging process is as much of a game as about the performance itself. Do you think it hurt you that perhaps the blue ribbon panel could not follow the story, as it is taken out of context? They do not know what happened before or after those scenes.
STACY:
© JPI Studios
Right. No, they don’t see the arc, and don’t see what is going on. A lot of times you have your friends who have been working to be nominees for so long, and they finally get in, and it’s like, you know what? They deserve it. Maybe next year, it will work for me.
MICHAEL:
I think you have received more emails, letters, and have certainly become talked about more than anyone ever online, about someone not getting a nod. Somehow, the Emmy snub got you more publicity than someone who was nominated for Lead Actress!
STACY:
The publicity has been more than if I got a nomination. It’s crazy, isn’t it? You know what I love? It’s when I went on facebook and just read so many people’s thoughts, and how they love the character, and you can’t beat that. I have to go back to why I do this and the process of it all. Yes, it would have been fun to get all dressed up, and hope you can win one of the most beautiful awards. It’s one of my favorites, actually. But, I have had a really good time and it continues again. The fans see that, and that is really what this is about.
MICHAEL:
If you were to have been nominated, would Mr. Kitty have accompanied you to Vegas? Last year, you wore him as a shoulder bag to the red carpet.
STACY:
Yes. I would have come with Mr. Kitty, and we could put him on wheels. It would have been awesome.
MICHAEL:
© JPI Studios
But, let’s talk about these recent amazing scenes that aired. Did you like how they resolved the end of the Patty/Emily final switcheroo?
STACY:
I finally ended up watching it. Usually, I don’t because I am very critical of myself. I finally watched it because somebody said to me, “Have you seen your scenes?” And I said, “No, I haven’t,” and so I did. And I was sad! I was sad the last time Patty went to an insane asylum. I like Patty, even though she is crazy and whacked-out. The wig was scary. (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
Patty regressed back into her little childhood self.
STACY:
Didn’t it just break your heart? Me, too. It did also when Mr. Kitty died. You have to understand, when they told me Mr. Kitty, in my script, gets chewed up by Zapato, I went like, “You’ve got to be joking with me?” I mean, I literally went through withdrawals because I had been working with that cat for so long. I know that sounds silly. But, I get heart to heart with my co-stars, and here it was again. I love working with Doug Davidson. He is such a joy, and Peter, also. And, when I got to look at him in the end, my hair looked like crap, and it was all going to one side, but there was this look. When you are in it, you don’t see what other people are seeing. So, when I was able to see it from the audience’s perspective, I went “Oh, my God! That poor thing, and what she went through.” All she wanted was that man to love her, and how desperate and sad she is at the same time. I got weepy.
MICHAEL:
© JPI Studios
I said to Doug Davidson recently, that if you were to take your story with him, as a brother and sister, as an isolated story, you could see that as a motion picture. It is such a beautiful story.
STACY:
I think that is why they continued it. It taps into so many people’s relationships with family. I look at his eyes when we work, and there is that love… that brotherly and sisterly love…and we root for each other. So if one makes a mistake in the line, the other one of us tries to figure out what the person is going to say. It’s wonderful!
MICHAEL:
And now on-air, Emily is having all sorts of psychological problems! Is this now just an adjustment issue for her? I mean, she is so pissed off that Jack can’t tell the difference between her and Patty in bed, which I think is great!
STACY:
I know, it’s so crazy. Thank God. I am so glad they brought that up. I mean, how can you not? Even Patty says it in my Emmy tape; she says to Jack, “How could you not know I was your ex-wife? Are you that blind?” And then here, Emily says pretty much the same thing to him, “How could you not know that was not me? How could you do that?” Emily now has to take some time and figure this out. She gets screwed from every which way, from all the stuff that Patty did. She is trying to hold it together, and she is not one to just emote, while Patty is the most emotional and runs with it. Emily is stoic and trying to hold it together.
MICHAEL:
Do you think Emily is even a good psychiatrist? Or, is Patty a better one? (Laughs)
STACY:
I think Patty was. “Go to your Happy Place!” (Laughs) The woman playing opposite me, who was one of Emily’s patients says to Patty, “What do you mean? Go to my Happy Place? As Stacy, “I went, yeah; go to your Happy Place. What else do you want to do?” That is what a therapist would say, except, maybe, “I understand.” (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
© JPI Studios
Will we see Patty again, perhaps more and more? Is the doppelganger story really over?
STACY:
Maybe. All I can say is that I love Patty, and doppelganger may not be over. We shall see.
MICHAEL:
You must have gone home to your family completely exhausted some days, after the emotional toll it takes on an actress to play very complex dual roles that border on insanity or the edge of insanity.
STACY:
When I was going through all the stuff with Patty and Emily at the end, and the whole knife thing, that was the first time Peter and I were going to get off work early. I am referring to the scene where Patty stabs the portrait of Emily. She goes to town. We were jamming through the scenes, and the last part where I open the dang cutter I cut my hand! So, I had to go get stitches. So, Peter and I are at the doctor’s office. Even the stage manager said, “And, you didn’t stop the scene? You kept going with it?” And I go, “I can’t stop.” But now the stitches are out and healing and I am fine. But, that was the first time I had to call my husband and say, “I just want you to know, I won’t be home by ten today. I am going to the hospital to get stitches.” And, he is like, “What?” I said, “Well, they had this box cutter, and you know me with props.” I have this thing where I go with it. And even before they gave me the prop on set, they said to me, “Are you going to be OK with this?” You see, I have a tendency to go overboard, like when I was stabbing the little picture with the baby scissors in the hospital scene. That time, I ended up stabbing the baby scissors into my hands. The prop guys were like, “Um, Stace. You’ve got to know…” I am going to be so conscious of it, but it’s hard when your adrenaline is going. I get done with the scenes, and then I go, “Oh, God.”
MICHAEL:

What did your husband, actor Bradford Tatum, think of all this? Was he a big support to you during the emotionally draining material?
STACY:
He has been a big support. I come home, and yeah, we don’t have long, long evenings because of the emotional dynamics of these two characters, Emily and Patty, and because when I come home I have to work on my script for the next day. I mean, I would literally call home and say, “Honey, I need cuddly. I need you to be tender with me because I am so fragile.” But I love going to these places, and sometimes it’s really difficult, but it’s a good challenge, and I am sure you do this, too, Michael. You like to see how far you can push yourself.
MICHAEL:
Yes, I do push myself. But you are super competitive, right?
STACY:
Your body and your mind want to work well, and so yeah, I am competitive. And my husband laughs at me about it. But, I think that’s what keeps me going, and doing what I do.
MICHAEL:
Will you be on-air as Emily for a while? Many fans are concerned of where the Y&R writing team will go next with all of this. Could that spell the end for Stacy Haiduk on Y&R?
STACY:
Courtesy/Luis Martinez
No, you are not losing me as Emily. I think it touches people. It’s this beautiful balance of creating something from the writer’s point of view, the actor’s point of view, and it’s all-creative, and that is what is so amazing. I think people feel that from the outside, too. It’s not just watching something and going, “Yeah, that was a great performance”. These are daily performances and I think people love to watch Emily or Patty and what she will do next. It’s very complex.
MICHAEL:
OK, so if I was producing a Stacy Haiduk tribute reel of the best moments of your performance last year on Y&R, and I had three and half minutes to feature you, tell me what would be on that? What would you choose?
STACY:
You have to start out with Mr. Kitty, and having that performance with a dead stuffed cat was pretty fabulous. I really like that kind of material. I would go in to this January with shows where Patty goes back to the switcheroo, when she puts Emily into the nut house and then looks in the mirror and dyes her hair. And still one of my other favorite scenes is the remote with Kitty Kitty. It was with Paul and Patty. She is turning herself in and she has to give up Kitty Kitty. I know they are silly scenes, but they get to me sometimes.
MICHAEL:
What about the great Patty and Adam scenes? There were so many great ones towards the end before his “murder”. And, we still never know if Patty has something more to reveal about what went on the night Adam was “killed”.
STACY:
© JPI Studios
Everything’s a possibility, and you just never know. I like working with Michael Muhney (Adam). We have a good time. Michael and I click with each other, because we were both new to the show. I was thrilled to have scenes with him in the potting shed, and those were fun. I even liked when I go to Adam in the hospital and Patty is pretending to be Emily and she pinches him in the hospital and says, “You know, I just want to see if you are faking it or not.” I love those scenes. I love the way Michael plays right off of me. I have a soft spot for Michael because of that.
MICHAEL:
As we end this little chat, tell me what can I relate back to the many, many fans and admirers of your work, day in and day out. Are you really doing OK? We all want to give you a giant hug! So, since I am here with you now, here is a hug representing everyone’s embrace of your outstanding performance this past year.
STACY:
I am doing great. I got through my disappointment. I am here to support The Young and the Restless. I am thrilled that the actors I work with on a daily basis both got nominated. (Laughs). No, really I am. So, maybe we will see what happens next year with that, but right now when I work, I am happy.

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus Talks Humble Beginnings, Test and Albert, WrestleMania 22 with Mickie James, Current Women’s Roster (Exclusive)
WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus has had an incredible in-ring career, on and off for over 25 years. Having debuted as a heel back in 2000, she held the then WWE Women’s Championship for a record 445 days back in 2005 and into 2006, before dropping the title to her nemesis, Mickie James at WrestleMania 22, and is considered one of the best to ever to it by many in the women’s locker room, then and now. When it was her turn to be inducted into the Hall of Fame Class of 2013, she chose Stephanie McMahon (this year’s Hall of Fame class 2026) to do the honors at the ceremony.
Fast forward and April’s WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas, Michael Fairman TV had a reunion with Trish for this very special interview. For when Trish started in the WWE, Fairman was working as a writer/producer for ‘Raw’ and ‘SmackDown’ and as told in their discussion, recalled how he worked with an upstart Stratus to help her learn her lines for her promos and more. Now two and half decades later, we caught up at Trish’s WrestleMania 42 pop up at Flankers at Mandalay Bay entitled First Crush by Trish Stratus. Trish had created an immersive experience for wrestling fans, Trish fans, and offered on stage Q&A’s with special guests and much more.
Backstage, she sat down with us to take a trip down memory lane, share her picks for WrestleMania 42 in the top women’s bouts (see if she predicted, correctly!) and talked some of her greatest moments. opponents. and friendships in the ring and out, plus what keeps getting her to come back when she has already accomplished so much in her iconic career.

TO SINK OR SWIM IN THE WWE
Trish shared on being a rookie in WWE with little to no experience, explaining, “I was thrown right into it. I was a fan of wrestling, watching it, enjoying it. Started to dabble into fitness modeling. So suddenly, I was kind of a public figure all of a sudden. Modeling is very different than actually speaking. They (WWE) literally threw me into the water and it was like sink or swim. The wrestling was one thing and they threw me out there for my first couple matches. Most people come up in the independent wrestling circuits. I had done some wrestling, but it was foundational kind of stuff. It wasn’t like performance yet and they gave me my first promo and I was the green one.
In the world of pro wrestling its all about getting the moment to prove yourself and making something out of it, Trish did just that when she became the beautiful manager/wrestler of the late Test and Albert, and suddenly they were known as .. yup … you remember … ‘T and A.”
BAD GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

Stratus recalled, “I was sitting backstage waiting for them to find the storyline. I remember just chilling actually with Lilian Garcia (then the ring announcer.) We bonded right away. She was my little bestie. I was on the road for a couple weeks in a row and, and then finally they came to me like, ‘Today’s the day. … we’re putting you out there.’ So, there I was with Test and Albert, otherwise known as T-and-A … get it! Those were the days of the double entendres. We were told we were bad guys, and we had to flesh out our characters. had to get people to boo me right off the bat.”
“I love being a heel” Stratus said passionately. However, when she comes out of retirement or makes special appearances, or comes back for a lengthy storyline she prefaces it with, “The thing for me to come back to the business for a little while means leaving my kids. I have to make sure that it checks all the boxes, right? I want be challenged as a performer, number one. I want to make sure I’m coming back and giving back to the businesses. Not just being self-serving. So, when I can check those boxes, it’s exciting, and makes it fun to come back.”
BECKY LYNCH AND MICKIE JAMES

Trish revealed her favorite WrestleMania moments through the years and her perfect opponents; the women she feels she created magic with in the ring. “When I returned in 2023, we had done the babyface come back. I’ve come back and they’re cheered me and they’re excited to see me. Nobody expected that, and that’s what I love doing. I love the unexpected. I was working with Becky Lynch. I knew she was the perfect babyface to be a bitch to and to turn on; bringing in the bestie so that I could turn on her with all those years of history, that’s juicy to me. I love it.”
As to her WrestleMania match resume, it was an easy pick fo Stratus, “I’m going to do with Mickie James WrestleMania 22. We like to call us the hashtag ‘longest rivalry in history.’ Becky Lynch and I might have rivaled that rivalry just because we did have a lot. But, I’m all about the stories, and to make sure there’s a meaning behind it. I want to foreshadow a little. I want to understand what my character’s thinking when I go into this. We had the fans captivated. I think at WrestleMania 22, with the way the crowd reacted and the way they were so invested in our storyline, I feel like we got them.”
Proud of what she and Mickie accomplished, Trish added, “They were like, ‘the women can hold a crowd, like the men can.’ I think that was like the moment we kind of had arrived. I have to say the Jazz/Trish stuff, the Victoria/Trish stuff, this is all stuff that planted the seeds. Mickie James and I, right there at WrestleMania, and we’re talking about a WrestleMania moment. I’m also going to give a shout out to WrestleMania 19 with Jazz and Victoria and Steven Richards … who took the best Stratusfaction I’ve ever seen!”

Trish went three for three and had nothing but high praise for all six of the women who laid it all on the line less than two weeks ago at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Y&R’s Christel Khalil Talks the Emotional Winters Family Turns of Events; Shemar Moore, and Lily and Cane’s Future (Exclusive)
This week on The Young and the Restless, viewers have been served up an emotional series of scenes and episodes centering around the return of Malcolm Winters played by Shemar Moore, who returns to Genoa City to ask his daughter, Lily for her help (Christel Khalil).
In story, Malcolm has aplastic anemia and needs a bone marrow transplant and his best option is a family member. However, things turn bleak when they both learn that she cannot be his donor because Lily previously had cancer. Enter Dr. Stephanie Johnson, the also returning Vivica A. Fox, who tells her son, Holden (Nathan Owens) and Malcolm, that Holden is his biological son! This admission gives Malcolm a chance at a donor match to save his life.
Now, Christel Khalil, who recently came back to the CBS soap opera following her maternity leave, and the birth of her third child, chatted all about the new complex family dynamics, working with Billy Flynn as her new Cane, and Lily being in cahoots with Victor Newman, and more in a new conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel. Here are some of the takeaways below!
Courtesy/CBS
Working with Shemar Moore again and their touching scenes in front of Neil Winters’ portrait
CHRISTEL: “It’s always amazing to have anyone come back that’s been away for a while, but especially, Shemar. It’s all the history with him being Lily’s dad. For me, it’s been 20 years of knowing him. Obviously, I don’t get to talk to him or hang out with him and that kind of thing. So it was just nice just to see him again and have that moment around Neil’s portrait, and to be able to share that together and even talk about that off-camera. It’s just special and feels like family, which is nice.”
The emotional scenes with Malcolm and learning Lily has a brother
CHRISTEL: “It’ a great story. I love when anything is grounded in reality where people who have maybe gone through the same thing can relate and it can help people I feel like that happened when Lily had cancer on the show. It’s nice to see something really heart-based, really family-based. I feel like we haven’t been able to see that with Lily in a long time. Then, finding out that she has a brother, I thought that was really amazing.”

Working with Nathan Owens
CHRISTEL: “I love Nathan. We have so much fun together. We’re already teasing and joking each other on set like brother and sister, so it’s really nice. I was really excited to find out that he was part of the family, which is I think more interesting.”
Shemar Moore returning to tape more episodes
CHRISTEL: “I haven’t read that far ahead, but there must be something happening because when Shemar returns, I know a lot of people are involved in something. So we’ll see!”

Lily’s involvement in faking her own abduction
CHRISTEL: “When I first read it I was like, ‘Yikes, that’s really bad. It’s very not like Lily.’ It seemed very out of character for her. But then, as I started reading more and learning more about the reasons behind doing it, I actually really liked it. I see what some of what the fans say and they’re like, ‘Lily’s always on her high horse and she’s always, little ‘Miss Goodie Two Shoes.'”
Lily with an edge
CHRISTEL:“Oh yeah, she can definitely be bitchy for sure. I think when she’s bitchy, it’s because she’s usually judging someone else. I think this was a nice thing to kind of temper the judgment that she’s always giving where it’s like, ‘Ok, you do some things wrong too, so let’s just relax.'”
Photo: JPI
Billy Flynn
CHRISTEL: “I love Billy. He’s such a sweet, amazing guy, and an amazing actor and very professional. We have a great time together. I like how they’ve really switched up the Cain character completely. He’s not trying to be the old cane. It’s a completely new cane and you know, I think we have good chemistry together. So, t’s been really fun to play with him and there’s some exciting stuff coming up. Hopefully, everyone likes it.”
Phyllis and Lily’s history
CHRISTEL: “Lily’s always annoyed with Phyllis, right? Michelle Stafford and I always have conversations where I’m like, ‘You killed my mom.’ She’s like, ‘No! I didn’t. She let go! ‘(in reference to Dru falling off a cliff) To know that Phyllis and Cane had a thing, is very disturbing to Lily.”
Now below, check out our full conversation with Christel on the homecomings of Shemar Moore, Vivica A. Fox and welcoming Nathan Owens to the Winters clan, plus the drama ahead for Lily.
So, have you enjoyed the Lily and Malcolm scenes thus far? What do you think will happen when Shemar returns for another set of scenes taping this month as teased by Christel? Are you down for Lily and Cane, as played by Billy Flynn? Weigh-in via the comment section.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Talks What’s Next for Steffy Forrester (Exclusive)
Three-time Daytime Emmy winner, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is celebrating nearly two decades as Steffy Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Last September, she returned to the CBS daytime drama after her most recent maternity and giving birth to her 5th son.
Now back at the soap opera and a mom of five, Michael Fairman TV caught up with Jacqui at the recent launch party for the BBTV global streaming app which also served as a gathering for the series 39th anniversary.
Wood gave us the lowdown of what may lie ahead for the often in-your-face Forrester dynamo who has no problem snarking a comment or two to Hope (Annika Noelle), and who definitely wants her mother, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), and all her loved ones to stay away from Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown)!
Photo: JPI
‘It’s been fun what we’ve been filming, we’ve been non-stop,” shared Wood. “The other day I was doing four episodes back to back, and we were just in it. It’s fun to play Steffy right now. Love her or hate her. I have fun playing her.”
FROM LEADING ROLE TO SUPER MOM
Jacqui also weighed-in on; if throughout her run on the show, she has changed dialog or something in a script to help out her performance. “Sometimes, but not all the time. I let Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer) write. I try to execute the best way I can,” reflected Wood. “There are times where I see it and I go, ‘Let me take the reins here. I got this.’ They’ll kind of let me go. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. I’m OK for critique. We can’t work scenes over and over again. We’re not on that kind of medium or set. You kind of have to know what you’re bringing, but I’m always open.”
Being supermom to sons: Rise Harlen, Lenix, Brando Elion, Valor James and Talon, wife to husband Elan Ruspoli, and a leading actress on The Bold and the Beautiful is a lot to juggle, but Wood has found the way to do it all. “Honestly, I just truly live intentionally, ” explained Jacqui. “I know what we have here, and it makes me truly grateful to have my kids and to be able to still be a mom. I still see myself as a full-time mom. I’ll film episodes back to back, and then I go and I be a mom. I get to bring my kids to set. So. it’s cool.”

THE YOUNG AND THE BOLD
Wood is very impressed by B&B’s “new kids on the block,” Crew Morrow (Will), Sydney Bullock (Dylan), Brayan Nicoletti (R.J.) and Laneya Grace (Electra) and shared she likes where Steffy is at in 2026, “I like the steady right now. I don’t want to like hit my cortisol levels yet. The younger generation can do that right now. I love the younger generation. I think they’re doing such a fantastic job, I just want to lean in and let them go and let them do their thing. If Steffy needs to chime in she will do that, and if she needs to slap some people, she can do that too!”
As to what man is in Steffy’s future, if it’s remaining happily married to Finn (Tanner Novlan), rekindling a romance with her ex-Liam (Scott Clifton ) for the umpteenth time, or a new man enters Steffy’s life, Wood would not say the way things may go down the line.
Photo: JPI
When talked turned to Steffy’s former pain killer addiction, Jacqui did say that. “It’s always a possibility” for the show to bring that back when it makes sense for Steffy and to service the story.
You can check out the full conversation below, and all the BBTV launch party interview with the cast, now on the Michael Fairman Channel.
So, do you think Steffy will be giving everyone trouble at Forrester? Do you think she will stay with Finn for years to come? What story would you like to see Wood be given at this point on the daytime drama series? Weigh-in via the comment section.

Thanks for another great interview MF! I got to see a side of SH that we never get a glimpse of. She really seems like a nice, down to earth, funny and all around cool person. I’m STEAMING about her Emmy snub too! Ridiculous!.
Brava for so, so many brilliant performances this past year, Stacy. You have become the one to watch on The Young and the Restless and I’m horrified that you didn’t get the Emmy nom. Shame to the academy for this outrageous snub!!!! You are a brilliant, beautiful actress!
Well, the Emmy pople blew it again. Stacy has been mesmerizing. To pull of dual roles is so demanding and exhausting, it’s a wonder the actress doesn’t go bonkers. I hope she gets the satisfaction next year at least. I don’t know how she can even top this role. An actor dies for such a role! Kudos to Stacy for convincing us she was mentally ill and then believing she was this pschiatrist who treated ill patients. I have been enthralled when she is on the screen and couldn’t take my eyes off her. So, congratulations, Stacy, for your great performances
Love, LOVE, LOVE her.
She certainly did deserve the Emmy nomination and the Emmy. Patty/Emily/Mary Jo has been one of the few reasons to stick with Y&R with all the silliness going on there.
I hope Emily and Patty are around for a while and we get to see more from Stacy.
Thanks for the great interview! It’s really interesting to hear the actor’s thoughts on the characters and the scenes and some of the behind the scenes chemistry.
Love her! Glad to hear she will be sticking around Y&R. She definitely should have been nominated. I think a lot of these award shows are more about politics than who actually deserves the award.
love her !!!!!!!!!!!!!! glad she coming back
