The Young and the Restless Star Vail Bloom Opens Up About Playing ‘Dead’

The actress opened up to TV Insider about her character’s last moments on the canvas. She said, “It was difficult staying in a contorted position for so long, I can tell you that.”

“The next day, I was like, ‘Oh, I think I gotta get a little massage or a stretch.’ It is surprising how difficult it is to lay there still in an awkward position. I was like, ‘I’m not a diva; I’m totally fine,’ and the next day, I was like, ‘Ouch, I’m stiff!’  So that was funny to me.”

Vail also opened up about working with some of her favorite co-stars including Sharon Case, who plays Sharon Newman on the hit CBS soap.

She said, “We had a lot of fun. Sharon is extremely relaxed in between scenes, and she’s very go-with-the-flow. There are certain actors that are not as go with the flow and there are certain actors that are neutral. She rolls with it and she really brings a lot to play with.”

“She doesn’t have an ego that you sometimes see in acting. She’s really humble and so chill in between scenes. At the end, we were like, ‘Oh, no. What are we going to do now? Ok, let’s link up outside of work.’”

And of course, there’s also Michael Graziadei, who plays Daniel Romalotti.

Vail said, “My absolute favorite. He’s just so full of life and he’s funny and a really nimble, talented actor, but he’s also hard-working.”

“He doesn’t wing it, he does the prep work and he’s always making jokes so he makes it fun on set. I think that’s probably a large part of why my experience was so positive.”
