Gleb Savchenko Felt Comfortable on the Soap
In an interview with Us Weekly, Savchenko explained how he scored a guest role on the B&B. He admitted that it “came together naturally and in the moment.” Hill and Savchenko spontaneously came up with the dance, which you’ll see on the show.
The DWTS pro dancer described it as a “fun, high-energy disco vibe inspired by ‘Saturday Night Fever.'” Their goal was to bring some excitement to the bridal party, and they did just that. “The reveal of the waiters turning into dancers really sealed the moment, especially because the cast didn’t see it coming,” Savchenko noted.
He’s new to the world of acting and soaps, but Savchenko noticed how “familiar it felt right away.” What made him feel at home was seeing “so many familiar faces from Dancing with the Stars.” Savchenko called them an “extended family.”
Ready for a Return to B&B
He had such a good time, he’s eyeing a long-term role on the soap. Savchenko admitted that he would be open to returning at some point. He exclaimed that he “would absolutely be open to coming back in that capacity.”
Savchenko also offered up praise for Lawrence Saint-Victor and Murielle Hilaire. Their respective characters, Carter and Daphne, get married. Savchenko was moved by their love story, especially when “storytelling and movement come together in a meaningful way on screen.”
He would “definitely” be open to establishing his character on the soap. Savchenko enjoyed his experience on B&B and would love to try something new. This is the most positive experience that Savchenko has had in his career.
“I would be thrilled to return to The Bold and the Beautiful and continue acting while further developing a character within the show’s world,” Savchenko noted.
Last year, he competed on Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars with Hilaria Baldwin. She was eliminated during the fourth week, on Disney Night. Following her exit, she alleged that “online bullying” was the reason for her shocking elimination.
