Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Greg says that it was a lot of fun pretending to act with Baby Jude while he was still a doll.

He said, “It was the longest-running joke [on set]… There were so many times that I had to bend over in the crib or in the rocker and push that stroller around with the fake baby, a doll wrapped in a blanket. It was like, ‘Oh, great. Where’s the baby?!’”

Greg also says that working with dolls actually helps an actor’s skills, believe it or not.

He continued, “You’ve just got to try to make it look as realistic as possible! You have to act it out with no baby in the crib and you’re talking to this blank space that nobody knows is empty.”

“It’s a challenge, but you just work through those challenges because time is of the essence and we have to get through a lot each day.”

Greg also added, “A newborn can be incredible or it can have a bad day and be tired… I just love working with a real baby because there’s such a realness, a connection that’s so different.”

“It’s in the way that they look at you and they give back to you, even though they don’t know what’s going on — they’re just standing under all these big lights with all these strangers holding them, and you’re trying to look silly to keep them happy.”
