Like A Kid In A Candy Store
GH’s Ric (Hearst) and Ava (West) have had sparks flying from the jump for various reasons. The chemistry between West and Hearst is off the charts, especially when their alter egos are at odds.
Then again, is there anyone West doesn’t have chemistry with? Seriously, Ava and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) are on fire as they circle each other.
Back to Hearst. The beloved actor recently stopped by The Locher Room, where he was asked about working with fan favorite West. Hearst made it crystal clear he can’t get enough of the uber-talented actress.
“She is delicious. She is the, she is the ice cream sundae with the cherry on top all day long. Somebody asked me to describe Maura as Ava, and this transformative thing happens. You know, Maura is just, she’s a regular girl. She’s just like, no nonsense, not a lot of frills about her, you know, very family oriented, you know, it’s, she’s an East Coast girl, so I love that about her,” he gushed like a giddy schoolgirl in a video shared to The Locher Room Instagram.
The ABC soap star went on to add, “To watch her transform into Ava is sort of a layered thing of silkiness, and she just moves through things, very, she discovers, with each like moment, she discovers where she’s at, whether it’s the interaction or the text is telling her, you know, or what the other actor is giving her, where she is at a particular moment. It’s the most beautiful thing to watch and be a part of, cause she’s a great dance partner. She’s just an amazing dance partner.”
GH Fans React
The high praise from Hearst regarding Maura had GH fans filling in the comments section of the social media share to gush over the GH stars.
“Man! 😮 I love his descriptions of her acting!” said one fan. Another fan stated, “What a great storyteller Rick is…”
A different fan gushed over the two soap stars. “Loved Rick on GL and Maura on ATWT. Really enjoying them now on GH and wish they were still a couple because they are great together!”
Listening to Hearst speak about West only makes us want to see Rick and Ava mixing it up in Port Charles even more.
