Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Brady’s Alcoholism Is Getting Out Of Hand

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, the handsome actor did admit that when it comes to Brady, he is definitely two different people when he’s drinking and when he’s not drinking.

But then again, that really shouldn’t surprise anyone, right?

Eric put it this way, “I mean, for an actor, it’s more fun to play the troubled, tumultuous time in your character’s life. I love when Brady is trying to get himself out of a hole.”

“He certainly gets himself into enough of them, and it’s interesting to watch someone try to climb out and regain their humanity, so to speak, and their stability in the world. Brady needs to be shaken up once in a while.”

“The fact that he just can’t hold down a loving relationship to save his soul is completely interesting to me too. How many times can you fall down and dust yourself off and keep trying again? But I guess that’s what we do here.”

Eric was also asked what was the hardest part about playing someone like Brady when he’s drunk. 

He said, “Soap opera has been plagued for generations to be a forum where we need to go over the top to display emotion and to tell a story. I think the tide is changing in a sense with 4K [higher-definition video resolution].”

“The subtlety is simply captured better. As we zoom in even further on these faces of these characters, we literally see the tear ducts well up in actors’ eyes.”

“You can internalize more and know that the camera will capture those emotions and those things are going to be emitted through the television. Back in the day when it was grainier, you almost had to play harder to show people what you were feeling.

Of course, fans will have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next. Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on the Peacock streaming network.
