DR Exclusive Interview with Kate Mansi and Blake Berris

S loves EJ


Not to me since what would interest me in Abby being pregnant would be to see EJ hold his child and cute scenes between Ejabby and their baby like the ones in the church.

Anyway I think itīs unsually the writers have a woman have a baby with someone they donīt have a future with. I can see Abby having EJīs baby with him gone would give her a story for a while but in the long run it would be more story with him there or if he came back. If Chad were to get together with Abby again for instant and if he was having problems with accepting her having EJīs baby the thing that would really create a problem for him would be for EJ to return, but I doubt the writers know at this point whether or not JS will be back he probably doesnīt know himself, so I donīt see them writing a story where a important character in the story might not be there. If Abby were to get pregnant it would most likely be by Ben or Chad.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

I think the interview was very good. I just love KM, I really do...she's not only a solid young actress who was able to step it up big time with the Ejabby affair thing, but she seems like a great person too.

I just don't get the criticism with her interviews....of all of the ones she's had the ONLY one that was a bit WTF was the one about Stockholm syndrome and frankly I can see why she would say that about Abby when it comes to Ej. Abby wants to break free from him but something keeps her around him, even when she knows he is capable of doing horrible things. So in that regard that comments does make a bit of sense....and the rest of the interviews haven't been bad at all. When an interviewer asks her about negative fan feedback what is she going to say? "Nahh, it's all been pleasant..."...of course not...and I've personally seen some vile shit coming her way.....the absolute worse was being called a slut/whore and someone implying that she slept her way to the top for that 'lead' story....seriously....some people are just fucked up in the head.

Great interview. I always enjoy reading what Kate and Blake have to say. It's nice that Blake is staying connected with his Days family as well.

I donīt think we have gotten any sense that either Abby or EJ are interested in each other anymore, but her comment about STHLM syndrom could make more sense in regards to their latest scenes where she seemed scared of him, and EJ has tried to manipulate her.

The only thing that KM could have answered better in this interview was that she should have said neither her or Abby is pregnant since that part is a bit confusing, unless Abby really is pregnant and that is the fucking fantastic twist JS talked about.

She's not pregnant but I get the feeling KM really wanted that s/l. Thank the soap gods we've been spared that by James and Ali leaving.

I think she's given a couple of wonky interviews but so has half the cast.

I've met her & she seems nice enough, although, I found some of her answers to be a little WTF when I was sitting right there listening to the answers come right out of her mouth.

Having said that,I think she's still young & fairly new to all this, so that's probably why.

This particular interview is very good, IMO, but I also credit Lysie with alot of that.

As for the character of Abby, I think she's a hot mess, but that's not KM's fault.

Yeah, she was mostly okay in this interview, but I definitely get the criticism with some of her past interviews. Her explanations of Abby's feelings about Jack in her childhood and her "Stockholm Syndrome" explanation were total WTFery. Plus, her whining about fan treatment bugs me (just like it bugs me when any other actor does it). I don't think her interviews are much different than some other Days actors. But just like those actors get made fun of when they spin shit, so does KM. It's not like she's the only one that get picked on here.

I could see the argument on the whining if she wasn't replying to a direct question about bad fan reaction to the storyline, but she was...she answered by giving an example of some of what she's received. I see no problem with that.....IDK what else she was suppose to say...she is damned either way...if she would have brushed it off she would have been criticized for not answering the question properly.

You know darn good and well she's been told/warned how rancorous fans get especially shipping fans. To play poor me, I was posting a beautiful sunset when a fan comes in and calls me a whore and I have to explain it to mommy, give me a break.

I believe some of the WTFery in her past interviews is due to the fact that this story changed and evolved from the original plan. She made statements that would probably have applied if the original story had played out, but those statements don't make sense in light of the changes.

Not to mention Blake Berris also talked about fan criticism in this interview and yet people are talking like Kate Mansi was the only one who answered the question.

prob with KM is she takes it personally where BB takes it professionally even when it comes off personal from the fan. He keeps it separate.

She wasn't playing poor me anything. Everyone on the call was laughing and she answered identically to how Blake answered. There wasn't even a hint of whine or complaint.

That's what she was saying when she said part of it comes with the territory. She can't help it if she was asked the question. I really don't see a whole lot of difference between her answer to this question than what Blake said. They both indicated it's a good thing that their characters illicit strong reactions.

It's not about the tone it's about the words, saying she had to explain to her mother why she was called a whore by a fan is unprofessional. I don't approve of fans calling her a whore by the way unless they want to vent on a board suited to the way they feel but I still think KM shows her lack of professionalism.

I think she's the one who made it a big deal when she originally mentioned it in SOD.

I confess I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling for KM, and it probably affects the way I react to things she says. I didn't have a good experience when I met her (long before the EJ/Abby story) and it will probably affect how I react to her and her character for a long time.

Blake said worse and no one is complaining about his tone. Her answer is structured identically to his.

Some of her past responses have been annoying to me too but my guess is that when she mentioned feedback in SOD she was asked about it too.
