Do Actors ever get to wear their own wedding rings?
Laura Wright has a similar excuse. "No I don't ever wear my real wedding band," she reveals, adding "I don't think the rings that they use on the show are real -- Have you seen the size of Cassie's? It would be like a $20,000 ring!"
Whats the key to playing dead or comatose?
Laura Wright just focuses on keeping a straight face! "When Bradley Cole was Richard and lying there in the hospital bed, you couldn't look at him because he'd start laughing," she recalls.
What is all that fake snow made of?
While GL's Laura Wright admits she doesn't know the specifics, she does know where it comes from! "It looks like white trash bags that are ripped up -- we always get the plastic stuff on us," she offers. "Its actually in this thing they crank, and it goes through holes, spins and comes down like snow. Its loud and very distracting in a scene, as well as when you're spitting out the white flakes from your mouth."
How does your character pay the bills?
"Its daytime -- he doesn't do anything!" chuckles David Andrew Macdonald. "Edmund's the ambassador from San Cristobel, which of course is a completely broke down nation. Cassie's very wealthy, and I believe that she actually has him as a kept man. I'm Cassie's ho."
How are scenes where characters are supposed to be submerged in water taped?
Closer encounters of the wet kind require an unpleasant experience for actors. "Jumping in the shower sucks," admits Laura Wright. "Water scenes are the least fun scenes we do because the studios are freezing cold!"
