INTERVIEW: ATWT's Noelle Beck (Lily)Beck appeared on "Robert Reid Live" on Monday afternoon.
On if she was nervous returning to daytime: "I was incredibly nervous. Even before I committed to AS THE WORLD TURNS, I would have nightmares about going back to daytime. I thought about it for a long time and was waiting for the right role. I spoke with Chris Goutman, our executive producer, and he was lovely, and the way he described the character of Lily so appealed to me. I had so many butterflies in my stomach. My first day of work they gave me 24 scenes. Luckily I had a week to prepare for it. I had every single one of my children, I have three kids, running lines with me. I would pay them a dollar a page. I wanted to go to work as prepared as I could possibly be. As soon as I walked in the door, I was met with so much warmth, and people were fantastic, and it just all disappeared. It's a great job and great people. I love it."
On playing the mother of a gay character on ATWT: "I'm so proud our show is doing it and doing it so well, and that it's received so well. I was just saying how impressed I was with the Luke and Noah fans at the Fan Club luncheon last weekend. I was really touched by their sincerity. They are behind that storyline and behind those actors in such a beautiful way that I was sort of just standing there and taking it all in, and looking at Van, and being so proud to get to be his mother on television. I have never seen fans like that before. It's pretty impressive."
