39your favorite moments or storylines
from DAYS?
Bjorlin: Oh, my goodness. I mean, there’s
been so many good moments. I will say
I really loved — maybe because I was so
young and it was sort of my college years
on the show — our SAVED BY THE
BELL generation on there. I think that will
always be the most fun, the most special
memories. It’s also when we worked the
longest hours, it’s when you did the most
traveling. We used to go on location and
shoot things. There were so many awesome,
special memories. We spent so much time
together. Personally, I love how everything
shoots quickly now ’cause now in my life,
I’m not super-interested in working long
hours or being away from my kids or doing
a whole lot of traveling for work. This
newer generation schedule really suits me.With that being said, I
kind of do love the soap
schedule and I would not
hesitate to get on any one
of the shows at this point
because it’s so great when
you have a family.
Digest: Would you
do another soap if
asked?
Bjorlin: Yeah, I would. I
definitely never consid-
ered it before, but I think
now that I’m “grown up”
and I’m a mom and I just
have so much life expe-
rience, I would love to.
It’d be a fun challenge
because I haven’t worked on any
other shows. I know a lot of people,
obviously, from being in this for so
long. I have friends on other shows
that I’ve only known socially and that
could be kind of fun, working with
other people I know. I would certainly
be open for it.
Digest: What if DAYS asked you
back?
Bjorlin: Absolutely. I mean, come on.
It’s family over there. Chloe will always have
a special place in my heart. And I think there
really are so many untold stories for her.
Digest: What do you remember feel-
ing when you left the studio on your
last day?
Bjorlin: I remember feeling proud. I felt
proud of the work that I’ve done and the
work that I was doing. But of course, I
remember feeling sad. I was like, “Okay,
keep it together.” I didn’t want to cry, and
then of course I did. It was bittersweet. And
then a bunch of people from work were nice
enough to take me out for some drinks. That
felt like the old days. It was fun. It was a nice
send-off, for sure. I still talk and still hang
out with people from there. I still feel like
I’m very much a part of that universe and
still informed and know what’s going on. It’s
good-bye for now. That’s all. S
