THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
“This was quite an interesting time,” recalls
Case. “I had never played a mother before and
didn’t realize I would be playing one so soon in
my career. And a grown child,
not a baby! It was really
diff erent for me to take on
the role of mom, but [Camryn
Grimes, who played Cassie at
the time] made it so easy. She
is so talented! People have
said things in this business
like you don’t want to work with children or animals, because it makes your job
harder because a lot of children don’t know their dialogue. But Camryn always
knew her dialogue! She was such a pro. Again, how lucky am I that Camryn Grimes
was my daughter then and now [as Mariah]?”
Throughout the years, Y&R’s
production pace has picked
up, requiring actors to do
scenes in one or two takes.
“I’ve gotten better at
memorizing my dialogue,
which is good because I’ve
been given more and more
dialogue over the years!”
Case grins. “You get used to
it, and I now prefer the
faster pace. I’ve always felt
my fi rst take was the best, so
I’m happy we’re done in one take and move on.
I think a lot of the vets who have been here a
long time agree. We like to move fast!”
“It was great
having a storyline
with Eileen Davidson,” Case says, recalling the plot in which Ashley
realized Faith wasn’t her daughter. “I think that might have been
the only time we worked together. Eileen is usually working at
Jabot, and Sharon doesn’t work at those corporations, so Sharon and
Ashley don’t run into each
other much. I think this
scene was when Ashley
had to hand Faith and
Faith’s belongings back to
Sharon. Eileen was
amazing in those scenes
playing the devastated
and heartbroken mother!”
