dailyloe.com – Ryan Gosling has accepted an invitation to visit the set of the iconic soap opera ‘Days of Our Lives’. The actor’s positive response came after veteran star Deidre Hall extended the offer. This follows Gosling’s recent public praise for the show and its cast on a popular podcast. The interaction highlights a unique crossover between Hollywood film and daytime television.
Earlier this week, Gosling appeared on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast with host Josh Horowitz. He discussed his early appreciation for soap operas, specifically naming ‘Days of Our Lives’. Gosling commended the daytime actors for their demanding work, which he feels is underappreciated. He noted they often memorize up to ten pages of dialogue overnight. Performers typically get only one take for their scenes.
The actor singled out Deidre Hall for particular praise. He recalled a famous 1994 storyline where her character, Marlena Evans, was possessed. Hall has portrayed the role of Marlena since 1976. Gosling admired Hall’s acting skill in portraying a possessed character convincingly. The storyline was revisited in a 2021 plot arc on the show.
Hall became aware of Gosling’s complimentary comments through social media. She posted a thank-you video on Josh Horowitz’s Instagram page last Thursday. Hall revealed she played the podcast clip in the show’s dressing and makeup rooms. The entire cast and crew were reportedly thrilled by his recognition. She then formally invited Gosling to visit their set in Los Angeles.
Ryan Gosling responded to the invitation on Friday via his partner Eva Mendes’s Instagram account. The actor, who does not maintain his own social media, posted his reply there. His message was a clear and enthusiastic acceptance of Hall’s offer. He stated he would be very happy to see their production process firsthand. This exchange has generated significant positive attention for the long-running series.[]
