Stacy Haiduk Returns as Patty Williams
Haiduk made her debut on Friday’s episode. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, the actress shared that she “always brings a lot of heart and love to my characters,” even the “bad” ones. However, she feels that Patty has a good heart.
Haiduk admitted that Patty’s return had been a long time coming. The last time she was on the soap was 10 years ago. “I always felt that Patty never got her fair shot,” Haiduk explained. “I’m sure she did, but I don’t think she did, stuck in an insane asylum, you know?”
The Days of Our Lives star would love to see her alter ego thrive in Genoa City. Maybe she could compete with the elites who are running the town. Haiduk couldn’t share more about Patty’s return. She described it as “deliciousness,” and she’s excited for her character’s journey, as well as her own.
Has Patty Grown Up This Time Around?
Haiduk admitted that it “was a process” to step back into the role. However, she immediately felt Patty’s presence when she went into “hair and makeup.” Haiduk could feel her character come back to life.
She also admitted that it was easy to rehearse with Peter Bergman, who plays Jack Abbott. Although Patty will “bring a little excitement” to the soap, Haiduk explained that she’s much more mature this time around.
“She’s a little bit more together, but you’ve got to keep your eye on her and see what she does,” she said with a wink. This time, Patty has “unfinished business” with either Jack or Victor (Eric Braeden), who enlisted her in his kidnapping plot.
