“The best thing for me was just getting to know the actors, like John McCook [Eric] who came up to me on the very first day with Jennifer [Finnigan; Bridget] and he said "We just wanted to welcome you to the set." They were very excited. They were just the two bursts of energy, and it meant so much. It put my mind and my body at ease. I was so stressed, and I was under so much pressure because it was my first day. You know they call John the "Welcome Wagon." It meant a lot to me, and it was the best thing that could happen”.
