To work without your preferred partner can really be a test! Nancy Grahn can certify some. In Santa Barbara , her character, Julia Wainwright, gave birth last summer to one ravissant baby called Samantha. Little time after, the father of its daughter, Mason Capwell, disappeared. (the disappearance of Mason was due to the three months leave of the actor Lane Davies far from the series.) Thus, the Julia poor and Nancy were left for account! " I cannot say to you how much that missed to me working with Lane, " Nancy admits. " It is if calm with the studio without him. Kristen Meadows (Victoria) and me if were accustomed to stroll with Lane in its cabin. One sat down all the three, one looked at the tele one, and one made jokes all the day. But suddenly there remained nothing any more but Kristen and me. The series seemed to be stretched in length , tandis that Lane had left. "

And what a single pair formed they! Victoria, as the fans of Santa Barbara know, is to it the woman of Mason. She and Mason have also a baby, baptized Chip! Only Mason is not the true Chip father. A little confused? Do not be it. It is in fact completely simple. Julia and Victoria like both Mason. Thus, how devil of such rivals did they become friendly? " Ca disconcerts me " esclaffe Nancy. " But the scenario writers wrote it and that functioned in a certain way. That started when Julia defended Victoria, after it was shown of attempt at murder. Very quickly, they are both become of very good friends. Kristen and me very often let us joke on this subject. I let say that Julia and Victoria were going to fail in love, to marry, and open a center of care. In fact, I like to work with Kristen, but I will rather love a partner man and a history of love with a man. Moreover, how much even I like Kristen, I prefer alchemy between Lane and me. "

This intense alchemy is what encouraged the scenario writers of Santa Barbara to create a history of love between Mason and Julia. With the origin, the series aimed at linking Mason and Victoria. " Lane and me we are just let go to this additional history, all times that we had a scene together. We would have made a great event of four small lines. There was a natural alchemy between us. Very quickly, we became very popular. The fans were attracted towards us as a couple. Suddenly, Victoria, Mason, and Julia became a triangle. " This new intrigue is what encouraged Nancy to resign with Santa Barbara last April. " I was packed by my character and the direction which my history took, " Nancy admits. " Mason and Julia point out to me much Dave and Maddie in Moonlight . They are never sincere one with the other, because neither one nor the other does not want to put its feelings on the table. Their relation is funny, full with spirit and spontaneous and it is the principal reason for which I decided to remain in Santa Barbara . Lane and me really let us know how the other functions. We are attracted one towards the other, and we are large friends. "

Last year Lane and Nancy were responsible of what could be very well the most amusing intrigue of any Santa Barbara . In the series, very released Julia decided that she wanted to have a baby, in spite of the fact that she was not married. Thus, it concluded a market with Mason. The playboy of Santa Barbara was more than eager to want to help it. " We were pleased so much to play this history, " Nancy remembers. " These scenes of bed were simply laughing. All was purely mechanical and strictly businesses, of course. Lane is such an insurrectionist in any event. It is so caustic and spiritual . "

When the moment came for it to be confined in the series, Nancy was more than ready to get rid of the pillow which it had fixed around its size for nine long months. " I started to feel as if this thing formed really part of my body. " And it was completely lends to be given very whole to the scene. " I posed to my friend, who is a doctor, much of questions, " explain it. " And I learned much. I also spoke with many women who had babies. Some told me that they had a crisis of grimaces during their childbirth. Other women said to me of Juste to be let go and to shout. I decided to shout... that made the thing more dramatic. This scene was one of the moments that you wait with interest as an actor. Lane and me were both very implied above. And we have every both summer shocked thereafter. I particularly liked when Mason saw Julia and Samantha together for the very first time. It said to him "I hope that our daughter will grow to become right like you." It was finally the first time that the televiewers discovered that Mason liked Julia. "

After having lived its adventure of unmarried mother in Santa Barbara , Nancy recognizes that it would be little laid out to try to have a baby apart from the marriage in the true life - something which it seriously considered to do one year ago! " I know that I am really not yet ready to have a baby and I am certainly not the kind with being unmarried mother. Julia juggles with the events well better than me. She has a force which I do not have. I would be afraid to lose this force if I found myself in his situation. I would like the father of my baby with me, if I were pregnant. To have a baby is an exceptional thing which must be divided with somebody. I hope that I will never be confronted with the choice that Julia had to make. I know that I do not want to age without giving the life. I want to have a baby... a family, but I do not want to only do it! "

In this moment, Nancy is delighted by be mom with the screen. She adores the small girl who plays her daughter, Samantha. " It is an absolute angel... a so soft baby, " it smiles. " Maternity became so true for me through it. I have never to play the comedy. It is astonishing. I am very protective with respect to it. I was accustomed to worrying me about his state under these hot lights of the studio all the day, but it does not seem to be made whole of it. In fact, we never employ real babies on the plate during the repetitions, " explain Nancy. " We use a headstock. We call it "baby stuntman ". This headstock has even a true palpitation. We make him so dreadful things, particularly Lane. It is not kind with too much appreciating the scenes stupidly domestic in any case. You will not believe only it makes "baby stuntman "when it takes it to play Chip! Since Chip is not the son of blood of Mason, Lane has resentment towards him. Often during the repetitions, it throws the headstock with Kristen Meadows and says "It is Chip! They is your sons." The poor "baby stuntman "made gliding flights! Lane always jokes like that. Sometimes after a scene with me and our baby of television, it looks at me and says "Our baby is so much nicer than Chip. You do not think?". Lane is really a very proud father. "
