Stephen Nichols opens up about his return to DAYS as Stefano!
- Stephanie Sloane
PHOENIX RISING

Soap Opera Digest: What do you want to say about your exit from the show in 2018?

Stephen Nichols: I’d like to deal with what’s current. That stuff is old news.

Digest: When did you learn you would be playing Stefano?

Nichols: After I signed on to return, I had a conversation with [Co-Executive Producer] Albert Alarr. He told me that I would be playing Stefano. That a chip containing Stefano’s essence had been implanted in Steve’s brain.

Digest: What was your initial reaction?

Nichols: WTF?!! Then my brain went immediately into hyperdrive considering how in the world I was going to do it.

Digest: How did you go about preparing for the role?

Nichols: I watched the master, Joe Mascolo. I got lots of videos of Stefano. Stefano in every mode: Manipulating, laughing, Stefano with the ladies, with his children and, of course, Stefano raging. I also looked at scenes with his interactions with characters I would be playing opposite. Also, Joe and I had worked together over the years.

Digest: Taking on the persona so memorably played by Joe Mascolo must have daunting. How did you approach it?
