Telfer is a Lucky Guy
This week, Telfer (Xander) was the guest on the Soapy podcast, hosted by his DAYS co-star Greg Rikaart (Leo) and The Bold and the Beautiful star Rebecca Budig (Taylor). The trio discussed many hot topics, including Telfer’s love for his wife, Carmen Cusack, and his soap journey.
While dishing about his time on DAYS, Telfer didn’t shy away from addressing Xander often being shirtless and the woman in his life. The actor gave mad props to Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), Emily O’Brien (Gwen), Stacey Haiduk (Kristen), and Suzanne Rogers (Maggie).
Budig brought up the latter, mentioning how Telfer speaks about his close bond with Godfrey and their on-screen chemistry.
“I mean, I’m super spoiled between, you know, my main co-workers throughout the years have been Linse, Emily O’Brien, and Stacey Haiduk, who are like three of the most incredible actresses, soaps or not soaps. Like, they’re just all amazing,” he shared.
It was Rikaart who reminded Telfer of Rogers, with whom he spends a lot of time on set.
“And Suzanne as well,” Telfer expressed, adding, “So again, with a character like this, where he is kind of, he can be nasty, and he can be kind of unsympathetic, to have him be viewed through the lens of these amazing women helps get him over to the audience, I think. So, I’ve been very lucky in that,” the actor spilled.
Rikaart added his thoughts, explaining that chemistry is key on soaps before declaring that Telfer has that with O’Brien and Godfrey in “spades.”
Later in the interview, Telfer discussed working with Arianne Zucker (Nicole), revealing that she really took him under her wing during his first year on the show.
“Another person I would add to that list of how lucky I have been paired with,” he expressed.
Telfer knows he’s been very fortunate to have his beloved co-stars, and he will happily shout it from the rooftops.
