On Episode 92 of The Freddie & Alyssa Show, we sit down with the lovely and vibrant, Stacy Haiduk! We chat how the industry in Hollywood has changed from when she first moved to LA, her experience working on Days of Our Lives, and why she adores living in Los Angeles!

“Whatever we have is in this moment right now. And I wish I would have appreciated that more looking back.” - Stacy Haiduk

Stacy Haiduk is an Emmy Nominated American actress based in Los Angeles. Over the past 30 years, she’s worked with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Aaron Spelling and has voiced characters for the recent video game series, “Star Wars: The Old Republic.”

Scanning across Stacy lengthy and impressive IMDb credits, she might be best known for her roles as Patty Williams on “The Young & The Restless,” or Kristen Dimera on “Days Of Our Lives,” Lana Lang on “Superboy,” Jenny on HBO’s “True Blood”, Colleen on “Melrose Place” and Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Hitchcock on “Seaquest 2032”…among dozens of other roles in film and television.

Stacy has also been my very good friend since the 7th grade. We graduated from Northview High School together in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She immediately moved to New York City to pursue her acting, dancing and modeling careers. I’ve always admired her tenacity and relentless drive in a difficult business. Talking to her over the years has inspired me to keep pursuing my own lofty goals…because I saw her doing it.

For someone so accomplished, Stacy’s career has had plenty of ups and downs. She candidly shares with me some of her biggest disappointments as well as the unique way she’s survived financial stresses when she’s not been able to get consistent acting work.

Stacy currently stars in the new feature film “Home Is Where The Killer Is” that was released in October on Netflix. She lives with her husband Bradford and is a dedicated mom to her daughter Sophia who is a rapidly emerging actress and model.

On today’s episode of Daytime Confidential Luke, Jamey and Jillian are joined by former Young and Restless breakout star-turned Days of our Lives newcomer Stacy Haiduk.

In the interview, Haiduk talks about being let go from Y&R, being snubbed by the Daytime Emmys, trying to balance Patty’s insanity and with her humanity, whether-or-not Tracey Bregman’s doppelganger storyline undermined the Patty and Emily story, sharing scenes with Peter Bergman and Doug Davidson and what it was like to work with that leading man of leading men, Mr. Kitty.

We then discuss how Days of our Lives managed to snap Haiduk up, her Salem role as the Warden and Jamey tries to find out if her character might end up being Kristen Blake DiMera as he Wishfully Cast.

All this and more in this must-hear episode of Daytime Confidential.
