As always, Y&R’s Tracey E. Bregman, who has been playing Lauren since 1983, has a refreshing and entertaining perspective on her current status. Professionally, she’s thrilled that her character is front and center again. “Lauren is back to being her business self,” declares the actress. “I think it’s important to show a powerful woman … and she doesn’t have to be a bitch.” At least when it comes to romance, though, Bregman’s own life is a little more challenging. “On my last date, I lost consciousness after he said, ‘Well, after my jail stint and my four divorces….’ “ she reports. “And, by the way, this is a cast member’s best friend!” Check out the new issue of Soap Opera Digest, on sale now, for much more with Bregman, who reflects on her TV husband, Christian J. LeBlanc (Michael), and her 7-year-old best friend (hint: the little girl’s mom is a former co-star).
