Don't I know you? Were the words spoken by soap newcomer Teddy Sears(Chad) upon meeting his daytime Emmy winner co-star Hillary B Smith (Nora) for the first time. No he didn't recognize the actress from her gigs on OLTL, ATWT, or even her stint on Something Wilder. Instead he remembered her from his hockey games. Smith explains what happended the first time they encountered each other on the OLTL set; He walked in to work and I said "Good Morning Teddy you are looking fabulous today and he said are you coach Smith's wife?
