My group first met with Shelley Hennig and Mark Hapka (Stephanie and Nathan) and I noticed the offscreen chemistry between these two with their playful banter back and forth, and obviously good working relationship. Shelley looked absolutely beautiful and had such a pleasant demeanor. Although I’ve never been crazy about the character of Stephanie, Shelley was so sweet, radiant, and delightful to chat with.

I had to ask Mark a very important question which has been addressed before: “Who is Nathan’s dad?” He mentioned that everyone assumed it was Pete, but it still remains a mystery as to who his father is. Many of you know what a huge Steve and Kayla fan I have always been, so I had to ask Shelley what it was like working with her former onscreen parents, Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans (Steve and Kayla). She was very quick to praise them, reflecting on what a close relationship she developed with Mary Beth. Shelley also laughed over how she realized later on that Stephen wore an eye patch, recalling a particular scene when she burst into giggles over it. This lovely young lady admitted that she laughed a lot, which made her even more beautiful from the inside out.
