Y&R’s Greg Rikaart and Elizabeth Hendrickson Open Up About Their Bond On- And Off-Camera

Devin Owens
Friends With Benefits

Soap Opera Digest: I’ve been really looking forward to this interview.

Elizabeth Hendrickson: That’s sweet. Hopefully Greg won’t mess this up.

Greg Rikaart: I’ll be fine.

Digest: I just loved the recent scene when Chloe flashed Kevin.

Rikaart: Thanks! Liz, can I tell the story of what happened?

Hendrickson: Oh, my goodness, yeah.

Rikaart: What do you call that thing that was covering up your boobs?

Hendrickson: A bandeau top.

Rikaart: She was wearing something called a bandeau top, which basically is like a nude, strapless thing so you look naked.

Hendrickson: It was too big. It was for, like, a double D breast.

Rikaart: She went to flash me, but her bandeau thing had dropped down, so I actually got flashed. Along with half the crew.

Hendrickson: I was down in editing and Derek asked, “Hey, do you want to see the great scene that you did with Greg? It’s so funny,” and I was like, “Oh, no, the scene!” I told him what happened and he said, “Well, believe me, if anyone would have seen that, it would’ve been me, and they didn’t catch it.” Even when we’re doing dress rehearsal, you can see it [on monitors] in your dressing room. I, for sure, thought that everybody who was working at CBS that day had seen my right breast. Now, Greg I’m fine with. I had no problem with Greg seeing my boobs [laughs].

Digest: Great story. Let’s back up now with you first, Greg. What did you miss most about not having Liz around?

Hendrickson: I’m glad I’m here for this.
