"With the Daytime Emmys this Saturday night (on HLN, aka Headline News) and Days of our Lives racking up 15 nominations, we felt it was only appropriate to bring you the biggest Days fan favorites (Drake! Deidre! Kristian!) and the the funniest introductory video you&amp;#x27;ve ever seen. Promise! Take it away, Chandler Massey! For the record, we had to record that 6 different times because yours truly kept cracking up. Oh, and that cigar Chandler is holding? It&amp;#x27;s one of Joe Mascolo&amp;#x27;s! Enjoy the interviews, and good luck to Days of our Lives at the Daytime Emmys this weekend! DEIDRE HALL Glamour: What is your favorite Marlena storyline? Deidre Hall: Several. I love Possession, because it was well-done, and because it let me step out of Marlena. I just got to cut loose. Oh man, that was fun! I also loved working with my sister, who played Samantha. She came out for the role and moved in with me. And then she played Hattie Adams, which was great fun for me. Glamour: What about any favorite Marlena looks or fashion? Deidre: I always think of her in suits. So much of her is the doctor in the office. We have great wardrobe people. Richard Blore talked about keeping Marlena in earth tones and solid colors. I didn&amp;#x27;t even know that was a conscious thought, but it was substantial, and it was rich and fitted and professional. Glamour: Ok, so spill: you never age. Your skin is gorgeous! Secrets, please! Deidre: I have a book! It&amp;#x27;s called &amp;quot;How Does She Do It?&amp;quot; and it&amp;#x27;s 35 years on camera. If you go to DeidreHall.com you can get it autographed. The working title was, &amp;quot;Does This Mascara Make My Ass Look Big?&amp;quot; so you now have a sense of the hilarity that is in the book! CHRISTIE CLARK and GALEN GERING Glamour: Christie, much like Deidre, you never age, I swear. Christie Clark: I think being in the studio all your life, without the sunlight helps! And then Elizabeth Arden 8-hour cream, I just gunk that on everyday. It&amp;#x27;s like Vaseline, and it keeps all the cracks from cracking. I haven&amp;#x27;t gone down that Botox route. Glamour: Well, not to leave Galen out, I also can&amp;#x27;t believe you are 41. That is a total WTF moment. Christie: I know! There&amp;#x27;s not a single wrinkle on his face! Galen: Why is that crazy? Because I&amp;#x27;m still working, and I&amp;#x27;m old? Glamour: Haha! No! You look a good 10 years younger. Galen: [Hugs Glamour&amp;#x27;s Jessica] Seriously? Aww. Glamour: Seriously. Ok, let&amp;#x27;s talk favorite moments. Christie, what has been your favorite moment playing Carrie? Christie: Slapping Sami. Any fights with Sami. We had a cake fight, that was fun too. Galen: My favorite was when I got to play that dual character who was a real jerk. He would just say whatever he felt or thought, and it was just really fun. Glamour: We have to talk about the scenes that aired earlier this year when the AC broke and you guys are trying to cool off with ice cubes and making googly eyes at each other. How did you not crack up? Galen: That was really embarrassing. That was not one of my favorite moments. Christie: Yeah, no, no. Glamour: Now, back in the day when you had the acid thrown on your face and you were in the hospital with that darn bandage, how was that to play because I literally feel like you were in the bed for a year? Christie: Yeah, it was at least six months. That make-up took an hour every day to put on, so it was time consuming. But I liked that storyline a lot. Though it did go on a little long. PATRICK MULDOON Glamour: It needs to be said that you are the reason these Days of our Lives pieces came about on Glamour. It was because you came back that I started tuning in again. Patrick Muldoon: Oh my gosh, Jessica, I love you. That&amp;#x27;s really sweet. Glamour: Well, it&amp;#x27;s true! I remember being 12 years old and loving you as Austin and Christie as Carrie. So, how are you most like and most different from Austin? Patrick: Probably a lot. Austin was the typical bad boy originally, and whatever the vibe was between Christie and me, they kind of steered it toward good guy. There is a lot of elements to the character, from me, that they wrote in. They like to write me heartbroken, so that is a strength of mine, probably--to get run over by women. Glamour: Haha ok, describe yourself in three words. Patrick: Adrenalized, caffeinated, adolescent. [laughs] Glamour: Favorite Days storyline? Patrick: Crazy Abby. I didn&amp;#x27;t see that one coming, and it&amp;#x27;s not something that I&amp;#x27;ve seen before. Kate Mansi (Abigail) is so good. Kate should have her own spin-off called Crazy Abby! Glamour: Who is the cast member that cracks you up the most? Patrick: The guy that cracks me up the most is Galen, and the female is Christie. What&amp;#x27;s funny is that the last time Christie and I were on the show together in the &amp;#x27;90s, we all lived in the same building complex--along with Ryan Seacrest, Mario Lopez, and Tara Reid! Glamour: Now THAT could have been your spin-off show! Meanwhile, what is your most surreal Hollywood moment? Patrick: I was at Pierce Brosnan&amp;#x27;s birthday party in England--don&amp;#x27;t ask me how--and Van Morrison was there, and it was a small party, and to top it off, it was at Sting&amp;#x27;s house. And Van Morrison ended up singing &amp;quot;Brown Eyed Girl&amp;quot; to 30 of us. I was sitting there, just as a fan--like the music maniac I am--trying to wrap my head around the fact that I was sitting at Sting&amp;#x27;s house. [Ed. Note: And for the record, it should be mentioned that Patrick came in on his day OFF to do the interview. That&amp;#x27;s not only a Glamour Do, but just total awesomeness.] KRISTIAN ALFONSO Glamour: I doubt our readers will know this, but you actually modeled in Glamour! Kristian Alfonso: I was a teenager! It was a long time ago! I always had a great experience, and I always traveled with my mom. I was an ice-skater originally, so I had no interest in movies, magazines, etc... I was on the ice at 5:30 in the morning, 7 days a week. But once I had my toboggany accident and broke my leg, it kind of ended my career. Wilhelmina Models had actually approached me before that happened--which I couldn&amp;#x27;t understand because I was so short and liked to eat [laughs]--but after all of that happened, I [reconsidered]. Glamour: And then you actually fell down the Horton stairs during your audition, right? Kristian: I did! I was like, &amp;#x27;oh my God! Liability! They are never going to hire me.&amp;#x27; Not to mention I had a thick Boston accent. They took a chance with me. They also wrote it into the script that I had gone to boarding school in Boston, so at least that worked! Glamour: When you look back over the years, what do you think when you see the big hair and outfits? Kristian: Oh my gosh! They were absolutely insane! During that time, of course, we thought the bigger the better! What&amp;#x27;s funny is that during that time, I used to have really curly hair. But then after I had [my first son] Gino, it totally went flat and wasn&amp;#x27;t sure what it wanted to be. Gino would even kid me about it and say, &amp;#x27;Oh Mommy, you have such lazy hair!&amp;#x27; I totally lost my curl. Glamour: Tell me about the jewelry line you started. You have some gorgeous pieces. Kristian: Thank you! I got started in it because I always wore my own pieces on the show. I designed them or purchased them from my travels. I always wore these fleur de lis earrings because my mom introduced me to fleur de lis when I was a little girl. It means such strength and femininity to me. We named the branches of it Hope, Faith, Miracles. The Believe line is available on The Shopping Channel. DRAKE HOGESTYN Glamour: Ok, let&amp;#x27;s start with the question I&amp;#x27;ve always wanted to know. How did &amp;quot;That&amp;#x27;s a Fact&amp;quot; get started? Drake Hogestyn: It&amp;#x27;s kind of an itch-scratch-itch-scratch cycle I think. John Black had no memory when I started the show, so anytime there was something based on something he knew, it was &amp;#x27;That&amp;#x27;s a fact.&amp;#x27; He always tried to base things on fact or a foundation, and it grew out of that. My grandfather used to say it a lot. He was a man of few words, and it made sense when I was a kid. When someone asked him something, he&amp;#x27;d say, &amp;#x27;...and that&amp;#x27;s a fact.&amp;#x27; Glamour: What is your favorite scene or storyline when you think of John Black or Roman Brady? Drake: I&amp;#x27;ll never forget when Deidre came back to the show, and Marlena and I reunited at the pier in the fog. There was one unreal moment in there that actually played very real. Deidre had cut her hair before she came back, so she had put a slight hair extension in the back, just to give it the fullness that the fans had remembered, and so in that particular scene, when she came out of the fog, I am thinking, &amp;#x27;Maybe it&amp;#x27;s a mirage, maybe I&amp;#x27;m losing it,&amp;#x27; but then when I touch her, it&amp;#x27;s electric and like, &amp;#x27;Oh my God,&amp;#x27; and as I grab her and run my hands through her hair and grab her and pull her to me, she whispers, &amp;#x27;You&amp;#x27;re pulling my hair out.&amp;#x27; And I went like this [gives us a shocked face], and I pull her back to look at her, and it reads two different ways... I mean, stay in the moment, because the scene is working, and then to feel her that you, as Marlena, are real, but making sure you didn&amp;#x27;t totally ruin the scene by pulling her hair. Anyway, it was a funny thing. So the top moments for me were first coming on the show, the pier scene, and then another moment I&amp;#x27;ve been reflecting on because of Lexie Carver&amp;#x27;s death is Isabella&amp;#x27;s death. I learned a lot. Glamour: You&amp;#x27;re such a romantic on-screen and off. What is the best relationship advice you&amp;#x27;ve ever learned? Drake: Listen. Really listen. It will tell you everything you want to know. And happy wife=happy life. Seriously. You&amp;#x27;ll have your little battles, but save it for the big ones you care about, and she&amp;#x27;ll be ok with that. Just listen. I&amp;#x27;m probably most like John in the romance department. When our last child was born, I got a tuxedo, went to the hospital with some sparkling cider and roses and pastries. They didn&amp;#x27;t even want me in the hospital like that! I just try to infuse romance any way I can. I&amp;#x27;ve been in love with my wife ever since I saw her. Glamour: Let&amp;#x27;s just clone you. Seriously. So, we know how you are most like John Black. How about how you are most different? Drake: John sees things in pretty much black and white and right or wrong right away. He who hesitates is lost. Drake is more look before you leap! Glamour: Finally, I have to ask you about Joe Mascolo [Stefano]. What&amp;#x27;s he like? Drake: I really love him. He&amp;#x27;s like an older brother. Joe is a real actor. We&amp;#x27;ll park our cars next to each other and have a great, fun conversation, and then as soon as we walk into the door, he continues the same conversation, but in Stefano&amp;#x27;s voice. He turns into Stefano the second he walks through the threshold of NBC. Vice-versa as soon as he walks out. He stays in character all day long and talks to you in Stefano&amp;#x27;s voice. His regular voice is kind of like that, but not really. I love him. We talk endlessly about our characters because he basically created me as the Pawn. Before we sign off, Drake has something to say. Check it out! As you can probably tell, I really had the best time ever visiting Salem and talking to these wonderful actors and people. I can&amp;#x27;t wait to hear what you guys think of the piece! And thank you to Days of our Lives for the amazing access! Photos: NBC/Corday Prodouctions P.S. Want more Obsessed?
