Who's
coming: BOLD AND
BEAUTIFUL
Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester):
Kaye
makes his B&B debut on December 13 and admits that he
hasn't done a lot of research for the role. "My research is this," he
explains. "I call [the publicist] and she finds what I need and sends
it to me. I think if you play a character, people like the history of
it and will probably inform your choices. That said, I believe people
care about the present and how you deal with that. If you get too
caught up in the history, I don't know that that's necessarily going to
help you. We're just going to let it ride and let it breathe and see
what it is."

What's your best Super Bowl memory?
"I had tickets when the Broncos played their first Super Bowl against
Green Bay in 1998. This guy [at a bar] said, 'I'll give you $7,000 for
your ticket.' I said, 'How about $7,000 and my bar tab?' He left and I
thought that was it. But he came back with cash! So I sold him my
ticket
because I didn't care about either of those teams. And the Broncos won,
so it was a great deal for him."

A group of fans
belonging to the Zen Zone,
a Web site
championing AMC'S Zach and Kendall, gave Thorsten Kaye Zach a framed
Detroit Red Wings jersey, autographed by all the members of his
favorite
team. Whose idea was it to incorporate the gift into the show
as
an item Kendall purchased for her beloved before falling into a coma?
It was Kaye himself, he reports. "I appreciated it so much, how cool it
was they got together, had it framed," he says. "The 2008 Stanley Cup
champions!
I wanted it to be on the show and I thought, 'The best way to do this
is
to have Kendall send it to Zach." So I told the writers, 'How would it
be if Kendall sent this to him because she knows exactly what makes him
happy?" And they wrote it in."

What was your favorite
role on a Soap
besides your
current one?
"The PORT CHARLES one, and not just because of my character. All my
characters, as you know, are pretty much the same, just with different
haircuts. I just liked the cast and the whole feeling of it, it was a
cool,
little company to be a part of. But really, Zach is my favorite role
because
I'm getting paid the most for it."

gotten to
work with David," he marvels. "You know, you see each other in the
hallways

shape,' whatever -- but you work with him and you realize why he's been
at the top of his game for so long. There's just something really cool
going on with this guy. Very cool guy -- good guy, good actor."

Zendall fans might not be
too thrilled with
All My
Children’s Hannah, but Thorsten Kaye Zach likes his new co-star,
Stacy
Haiduk, and advises them to hang in.
"She's what I think is missing from the show a little bit,” muses Kaye.
“There are many beautiful girls on the show, but not too many women.
For
guys like me, there needs to be some women there -- women with a past,
with weight. But that’s my personal opinion." Soap
