in touch with Farah [Fath,
ex-Mimi] and it’s so crazy
seeing our babies now. We’re
like, “Oh, my God, remember
when we were babies?” It’s
so cool. But it’s very nostal-
gic, obviously. I’m proud of
the accomplishment of hang-
ing in there for all that time.
Digest: Tell me what
you’ve been up to since
leaving.
Bjorlin: Well, I’m never not
busy, chasing after a not-yet
2-year-old and a just-turned
3-year-old. There’s never lack
of excitement around here.
And you know what? That
has been fun, to kind of just
be like, “I’m just gonna hang
with these boys and watch
them grow.” That’s been the
coolest thing, to not really
be preoccupied by something
else. But I’ve also managed
to keep busy. I’ve worked on
three different movies in the
last couple of months,
so that was cool. It
got me working
with different
people on dif-
ferent sets and
playing differ-
ent characters. It
is nice to play dif-
ferent characters and
not stick with the same
thing because you’re challenging yourself
in different ways and meeting new people
and doing new things. And then I’m going
to do the second season of the web series
BEACON HILL. I’m going to be throwing
myself into another project. It shoots on the
East Coast, so that will be fun.
Digest: Are you auditioning?
Bjorlin: Yes, I am. But right now in the sum-
mertime, it’s been pretty quiet on that front,
but I’ve been okay with that. I’ve been really

enjoying my summer, which is nice.

Digest: Do you get nervous

auditioning?

Bjorlin: No, not at all. I’ve been doing

it for so long, and it’s also changed a lot.

Now you put yourself on tape for things.

It’s not at all the way it used to be years ago

where you would walk into rooms or see

executives. Now you go in the room your-

self and make your own choices and that’s

it. The business is changing and there’s so

much content that’s being churned out.

I think the studios are just being run dif-

ferently than they were years ago. You go

with it, you adapt. And now you audition

for YouTube shows. You gotta be crazy

and in love with this business to do it. You

just keep swimming.

Digest: When you look back, what are

New Beginnings: With Kyle Lowder (ex-Rex/ex-Brady,

l.) on the scene, Bjorlin had hoped to share more

screen time with him and Eric Martsolf (Brady).

Setting Pretty: The actress enjoyed working

with Brandon Barash’s Stefan on the DiMera

mansion set.

“Chloe will

always have a

special place in

my heart.”
