Turpel And Courtney Grosbeck Proudly Represent B&B’s Youth Brigade
Soap Opera Digest: What were your first impressions of one another — and have they turned out to be true?
Courtney Grosbeck: It was such a quick audition process that my first impression wasn’t a strong one. I knew I liked him. I knew he was a cool person, and that hasn’t changed. I still like him.
Anthony Turpel: Well, that’s good. My first impression was, “Wow, this girl must be good,” because she auditioned and the same day she got the chemistry session. That’s impressive, so I knew coming in she had the upper hand on everybody else because that rarely happens.
Grosbeck: Aw, Anthony.... Thanks!
Digest: How did you develop a bond?
Turpel: I remember I wanted to avoid school as much as possible so I said, “I can’t. I’m rehearsing lines,” and I was just hanging out with Court the whole day.
Grosbeck: With work days, it’s really easy to get to know your co-workers because there is downtime, and that worked to our benefit. I remember my first day, Pierson [Fodé, Thomas] called Anthony and me down and we all ran lines together, and that was so meaningful to me. It was such a helping hand. I’ll never forget that, and that got the ball rolling.
Digest: Have you picked up any acting tips from your older TV siblings, Pierson and Courtney Hope (Sally)?
Turpel: I talk to Pierson a lot, and if I have any questions or if I need help on something, he’s always there. Any actor I think would agree that just watching other actors will make you a better actor. They’re both very talented, so it’s great to be able to watch and learn from them.
Grosbeck: I agree.
