Hall Talks Reviving Hattie and the ‘Delicious’ Dynamics
The Days of Our Lives star is exhilarated to play Hattie again. She shares, “Every time I see Hattie’s name in the script, I can’t help but get giddy.” According to Hall, playing Hattie gives her a break from Marlena’s polished, predictable demeanor. Additionally, she gets to chill and “embrace all the wild, off-the-wall antics.”
It also brings back some standout moments Deidre experienced on the Peacock soap. “I think about those hilarious scenes with Hattie and Bonnie, where they were just having a great time together.” Hall believes those were some of the most fun scenes to film. They were full of “drunken shenanigans and just pure, unadulterated silliness.”
Now, let’s talk about Hattie’s new partner in mischief, Leo. Diedre thinks that Hattie and Leo’s bond makes the storyline more profound. She explains, “Leo was in therapy with Marlena, and he had no clue about her doppelganger.” For him, bumping into Hattie is like getting exposed to a whole new world of mayhem.
Meanwhile, acting alongside Greg Rikaart, who plays Leo, has been a highlight for the DOOL actress. She shares warmly, “Greg and I hit it off right from the start.” Moreover, the duo grabbed a bite together a couple of times before even starting filming. Hall elaborated, “There was a lot of excitement about working together, and we wanted to make sure our chemistry was spot on.”
As for what’s next, the soap diva teases that Hattie and Leo’s adventures will be a delight for fans. “Their scenes are just so much fun. Watching Hattie flirt with Leo and seeing his reactions is pure gold.” Deidre spills that Greg is a riot who brings natural humor to every scene. It is what makes working with him a blast!
So, hold your horses for a rollercoaster of laughs and surprises as Hattie and Leo’s escapades play out.
