His acting career began when he was cast in the role of Jamie Martin on the daytime soap All My Children, which earned him a 2005 Soap Opera Digest Award. So, yes, I feel like there’s a lot there that I can commiserate and celebrate with her.”Ī Nebraska native and father of three, Bruening is a former fashion model who was discovered by a scout at a McDonald’s in Escondido, California. I understand that pain or that hurt for Helen, especially with time kind of passing. You’ve worked for it, you’ve achieved it, and this is the one thing that it’s kind of right beyond your fingertips and you can’t catch it. “There’s a point where we kind of go through our careers and we’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, I did my career, this is so great.’…And everything else you’ve worked for and you’ve gotten, it’s been easy, like Helen’s law degree or me with music. “We now have three children, but I remember a time when there was the struggle of having a baby, and how that is, and how painful that is,” Headley reveals to. She can also relate to Helen’s yearning to be a parent and the roller coaster of Helen’s fertility issues and miscarriage in Season 2, which prominently featured and cemented the already strong bonds between the three best friends. And I know that she’s got a lot of Heather in her, or I have a lot of Helen in me.” She’s a lot of Aida and a little bit of Nala. “I think she’s a little bit of all my favorite girls that I’ve had to play. Headley says that she used her experience onstage to inform her Sweet Magnolias performance. But the smooth sailing doesn’t last for long.” I think she allowed herself to do that a little bit more in Season 2. It’s a bitter pill sometimes to swallow but sometimes in a selfish way, it makes you feel better to not hold onto things and let go.
Maddie was forced to let go, and grapple with forgiveness and really the idea of how that makes you feel. And really allowing herself to maybe let go a little bit. But the idea that you can be so wholly dedicated to your family and sometimes lose sight of all the other things that are really important, that’s one of the things I really wanted to celebrate this year with Maddie’s journey. When asked about Maddie’s divorce, family angst, and romance with Coach Cal, a pivotal aspect of the show, Swisher sees her character’s issues as important life lessons for all of us, “Obviously, I have not experienced at all what my character went through. She’s not a victim by any stretch of the imagination” Really pushing through where her life is and where it’s headed. “What I look forward to seeing, hopefully, are the realizations and putting the pieces back together. I love that she’s not going to let her hardships bring her down,” she continues.
What does Swisher appreciate about her character? “Maddie has got a little feistiness to her,” she tells.
