Klein Time

Abigail Klein is happily settling in to her first soap role.

A bigail Klein was totally clueless about one word when she joined the DAYS fold: supercouple. “When I was first told I had

booked the role and would be playing Stephanie Johnson, the daughter of a supercouple on the show, I had no idea what a supercouple meant. But it sounded cool,” Klein delivers with a laugh.

That “cool” word kept popping up as she began working more closely with Robert Scott Wilson (Alex) and Billy Flynn (Chad), both of whom had already been part of dynamic daytime pairings. “I obviously know that they both have a history with that, and it’s unique in that they each have such a fanbase,” says Klein, referring to Wilson’s “Cin” (Ciara and Ben) followers and Flynn’s “Chabby” (Chad and Abby) devotees. “It is funny to think that now I’m in a relationship with each of them in some way. So here I come sort of disrupting their history of supercouple moments. Because, again, I had no idea what I was walking into, this world of supercouples.”

On the job since mid-March, Klein is finally well-versed on the term and its connotations, as well as the ins and outs of Stephanie. “The longer that I’m there and the more scenes I have with different characters, I know how I feel about them, what I want from them, what I don’t want from them, and how I’m going to show up when I see them,” she explains. “I’m finding my groove.”
