Soap Opera Source was another media outlet that interviewed the cast of Days and this is their Q&A session. Shelley digs deep and takes you in on her journey that led to her becoming the strong actress she is today – plus we get a little insight as to what will be coming up in November.

What is like playing a young member of a legendary daytime family?

Well at first, I did not know. I knew nothing of the soap opera world. But I found out soon after! The thing about me is things never really set in. I mean, I had to relocate. I was in New York and my first audition, I book a contract, so all these crazy things happened, along with Miss Teen USA back in 2004 – I never expected to win that thing. I knew nothing about that world – and it never really set in. I kind of just adapt so I think that’s what I did with Steve and Mary Beth, I just adapted. I didn’t have all this pressure. I just adapt to things. I never had that moment where, “Oh my god, this just happened to me,” and I almost wish I did because then I would know how cool it was.

What’s it like working with someone like Peggy McKay?

Oh, I love Peggy! She is phenomenal and she is so 100%. Even in the scenes that are not our favorite and when a lot of people are involved and we get a little playful on set she just is there, and ready, emotionally and so focused. I look up to her a lot for that.

How do you feel about Melanie’s relationship with both Nathan and Philip?

I hate it. I mean, Stephanie hates it [laughing]. No, I think it’s great. I love the whole fighting back and forth. Stephanie usually gets what she wants and things go sour and she tries again. I think currently she’s going to try whatever she can to get what she wants whether that’s Nathan or Philip, we don’t know.

Right now Stephanie seems to be on the outside looking in on this triangle.

Yeah, because both of them are both going hard for Melanie, but I think she’s really pulling Nathan. And I think maybe it’s because she doesn’t want Melanie to get what she wants.
