Soaps In Depth

Laura Wright (Cassie) says that one reason she loves working with David Andrew Macdonald (Edmund) is because he's so darn funny. The actress knew that long before their characters ever became romantically involved. "I had to spit water in his face when Edmund had locked Cassie in the tower," she recalls. "I didn't know if I should really do it, and David told me, 'You've got to go for it. Because there's wimping out and not doing it, and there's doing it but kind of looking stupid. But then there's totally going for it and it being hysterical and brilliant.'" So, with MacDonald's permission, Wright went all out. "I just spit as hard as I could, and the look on his face was so funny, I had to turn away!" she laughs. "I could have, at any second, broken the scene. But the scene was so good, and I had already gotten him soaking wet, so we couldn't do it over again. It was hysterical. David makes me laugh all the time."
