PASSIONS Interview

Lovers' Lane

Digest: (to Korman) Do you pretend to be Whitney?
Korman: I don't pretend to be anyone. He has a way of working — just like I do — and basically, we don't pretend we're the other characters at all 'cause we know clearly what we want. I think we're comfortable with our choices, so we just run lines so we know our words.
Hartley: There are a couple of times where I'll be reading and say, "Sweetheart, this is a perfect opportunity for you to do this." Then, I'll watch [the live feed], she'll do it, and [the director will] come out with notes and I'm like, "Oh!" So, I stopped doing that.

Digest: What has been your favorite scene together?
Korman: Probably the pool stuff or the dancing stuff. I love everything with him; it's so fun. Or the hospital stuff.
Hartley: My favorite scene is when they were on the beach and Fox and Theresa were going to kiss. After we did the scene, it became about what happened before and after the kiss, which is cool. It was about the acting. I really felt good with my work in that scene.
Korman: Mine, too.
Hartley: I had to kiss somebody who I kiss every day and afterward make it look like that shouldn't have happened or wasn't supposed to happen, but you liked it.
Korman: We were still acting. I just love working with Justin because I feel like I'm on this wave with him. It's the coolest thing. It's not because I'm in love with him because I felt this before we were even together. I feel like we have a good connection or good chemistry or whatever you want to call it.
Hartley: She's convinced that we're good together. I don't know [laughs].
Korman: I just have so much fun. Anybody who works with him will tell you that he's so incredible and you feel like you're on this roller coaster.
Hartley: That's very kind.
Korman: It's true. He's a beautiful person and incredible actor, so when I have scenes with him, I'm so excited because I know it's going to be like, "Forget anything I have to think about, just know my lines and then just...."
(He kisses her.)
Korman: Thank you, honey.... "And just go for the ride." It's awesome. I really love when I work with him.

Digest: How did your co-stars react to your engagement?
Hartley: They're all happy for me, but they're trying to convince her that she's made a mistake. I'm totally joking. They love it, they're all happy. They're thrilled. Some of them are shocked, but shocked in a good way.

Digest: Who was the first person you told that you were engaged?
Korman: We had to work that day. I think his mom was the first person we talked to because she came into town that night with his younger sister. But she knew; he told her before. She didn't know what day.

Digest: (to Korman) How did your parents react?
Korman: They're thrilled. My mom knew. She knew before I even considered dating Justin that I liked him. She told me later, "Oh, I knew, just by the way you spoke about him all the time." I was like, "I did?" Sometimes you don't realize things.
