good afternoon days of our lives fans uh my name is eric martzoff and i'm here with
before actually five she's typing some scenes right now
of my fellow cast mates and we've all been nominated for emmys this year okay
we thought it would be a lot of fun to ask each other some questions
and find out how we got nominated how we feel about it what we're gonna wear for the uh emmys
who knows what we're gonna ask one another maybe some real personal questions i'm gonna get things
started actually right now and i'm gonna ask one of my favorite people in the world ari
oh a little question this isn't easy for your fear for your hair i know
the pressure's on how did you find out you were i haven't written my speech yet oh sorry what'd you
say yeah i didn't ask you anything about your speech how did you find out i found out just a
few moments actually with you a few moments before uh they announced the winners on the talk
and it was really kind of cool i'm like i'm what i'm what what what uh so it's always really always
really thrilled um to be nominated against such amazing women and especially in our category
too but we were really happy both of us i know when we first found out together so
yeah i didn't realize that the nominees were coming out that day and was in the middle of
having just a real normal humdrum day running around with the kiddo in my pajamas and i just
got a slew of text messages that popped up billy flynn was the first one and it was super sweet
and unexpected and it feels like a million bucks i was i was actually pregnant that whole year so
well i was in my room and i got a call from liam and then she said congratulations and
and um yeah it was very exciting
i was like yay all right all right but so let me let me ask this um i guess it's the same thing
i got a call from leah too
leah is fairly new to our team on our daytime team and she was i think she was more excited than
look this is really great i just want you to know and it was a lovely call from
from leah and uh i got to share it with some of my good friends here and you know when everyone
looks at you they're genuinely happy because we all know how much work we've put into this place
it's just it's just such a nice pat on the back yeah from the absolutely it
makes it all worthwhile jim how did you find out i got a call for leah oh
and she said congratulations i told my wife who was there and my dog who was very excited
things that happened to you in life that you always think about happening and yeah
dream about happening is we're all lucky enough that it happens at times that's
you're absolutely right yeah amen
oh i want to know this all right what scenes did you submit for your for your reel oh wow
talking about yourself the scenes when eric comes back to town after his eight-month reprieve
in africa and finds out from sammy of course well xander himself that i slept with him
and so it's sort of our our breakup scene um which he really loved actually because they were uh what
i felt heartbreaking especially for these two characters how can i expect you to believe me
when i tell you that i love you
because i do love you
i just don't know if it matters anymore i submitted my breakup scene with eric
that was supposed to be personal and you told me you would never oh well that's a different era
no i um uh was very fortunate to have what they call the standalone show it was a show that was
sort of about me i was very honored by that and uh i submitted a scene from that with renee's
ghost alexis ghost returning and uh you know i was very pleased that it got the nomination it's been
10 years since i lost you
that's another day has gone by uh that i don't think of you that miss you
you're still in my heart yeah what scenes did you see oh i submitted things about finding out
gwen had slept with chad and finding out gwen was pregnant and then demanding she get an abortion
heavy yeah you know what in fact what are we waiting for why don't we i could
call the clinic right now we could make an appointment i will drive you down there myself
okay you want to move forward you want us to improve our relationship i think we could take
care of this problem right here right now what did you survive i know what you said i know we both
between two people that still had passion and love for each other but the way in which
i was being loved i couldn't handle right and i didn't want him to uh break up with me and
go off and leave me without a family because if you love me everything is gonna be okay
you didn't let me finish kristen i still love you but i can't be with you anymore
i don't know what we just did i hope it was okay but apparently it resonated
were nominated i was not for the same set of scenes and it's never gonna change this
is the way it's gonna be and i can't do it anymore hey okay you know what please

and he made me immediately call my mom because she was very nervous and i too i was really
excited to hear that you got nothing yeah since your first year my first first year here yeah
so that's incredible so so what uh what scenes did you submit for the amazing um so i submitted
the scenes between me and marlena between ali and marlena when i go under hypnosis and i remember
the true events of ali's sexual assault i tried so hard to fight him i was kicking and screaming
but he was so strong and so angry and i was just scared i was i was scared not only what charlie
was doing but what he might do next what do you think about yourself when you're watching your
scenes you're like oh i've got to submit this you know it's like it's hard the thing is it's like i
just remember and i had pinpointed those scenes in my mind when i did them was like okay those felt
very good i felt like i got there i feel so like emotionally drained after this day
so i know when i watch the scene i'm going to be like no but i remember how i felt and so i
feel that those are good scenes even though when i'm watching it i'm like i don't want how did you
celebrate your nomination you have a cute story i have a really cute story so um my besties raven
who plays michenell victoria who plays sierra and our other friend mariah who's on the show but
they showed up and they surprised me i thought i was just getting drinks with raven and then
i came outside and they were in one of their cars and it was this convertible and they had balloons
and champagne and flowers and mariah had written a sign on the back as if
it said just married and said it said just nominated but it was just it was so sweet
