"This is so surreal," says Crystal Hunt (Guiding Light, One Life to Live).

"Do you mind doing the scene with your shirt off?" asks Chrystee Pharris (Passions).

Meanwhile, things get tense between Lindsay Hartley (Passions, All My Children) and Hunter Tylo (The Bold and the Beautiful, All My Children) after Hartley retweets an "ease up on the surgery" message to Tylo.

On the Set of DAYS with Lindsay Hartley

Spending eight years at one soap (PASSIONS) can pose it's own set of unique dilemmas and conflicts.  Please read on to find out how Lindsay Hartley has adjusted to life in Salem, and how this wise young actress has applied some hard life lessons. 

We Love Soaps: You played tortured Theresa for eight years on PASSIONS.  What are the main differences you see between Theresa and Arianna on DAYS?
Lindsay Hartley: Theresa had this vision of what she wanted.  And that’s exactly what it was, a vision.  There was not a lot of solid evidence or facts to support this belief she had.  It was more like a prayer.  And it did come true, thankfully.  But it was a gamble.  It was like, “Is this real, is God real, is Santa Claus real,” that kind of thing.  Arianna on the other hand, is more of a factual person.  She knows the facts, she’s got the facts, and she has to deal with the situation at hand.  She’s more realistic, even pessimistic.

We Love Soaps: You worked under one writer, James E. Reilly during all eight of those years.  Now at DAYS you are working under a different writing team with a different style, with a different rhythm and a different tempo. Was it hard for you to adjust?
Lindsay Hartley: I actually like this writing.  It’s easier to memorize. It’s quick to memorize.  I can pass through a show now in a couple of reads and I’ve got it.  Because there is a story involved, there is a beginning, a middle and an end, and there are consequences.  It’s not like you’re memorizing the same scene over and over again.  It’s hard to explain, but with consequences it’s easier to memorize.
