Brotherly Love

How Billy Flynn and Thaao Penghlis developed their sibling dynamic on days.

- Robert Waldron

Soap Opera Digest: How did you first develop a bond? 

Billy Flynn: Take this one, Thaao.

Thaao Penghlis: I think we like each other. There’s a love there, and you can’t always get that with such an immediate family. I think that the atmosphere allows for that at DAYS. I think there’s wonderful chemistry among the actors. I suppose I’ve seen the difference, but I think we have a great place there; we’re able to bring some humor. I think in a way, both of us have embraced each other and we enjoy each other and we do have fun with each other. It’s not like you dread the day where you’re working with this guy. He’s a pleasure to work with. He can be obstinate at times, but that’s a part of the challenge. I can’t say everything has gone smoothly but —

Flynn: Yes, it has.

Penghlis: Are you interrupting?

Flynn: Oh, sorry, I just get nervous when you talk too long.

Penghlis: I’m waiting for you to come up with something lovely to say, being I was complimentary to you, but no.

Flynn: I’m going to if you give me a moment to talk.

Penghlis: Already, there isn’t even a script and we’re arguing. Why don’t you be profound?
