I did not know that much about her at first, but it was more the opportunity than the actual role, which is still being uncovered. What about your new role on Days of our Lives as Madeline Woods made you decide to return to your roots? It is nice to plug back into this on DAYS… everyone working together. I love that and it is what I loved about One Life to Live. So the nice thing about this and what is so great is that we are all working together. If you don’t hold hands, you are going to be left behind. You just have to get in there, hold hands, and run down the mountain. And one of the things I love about daytime is: there is no time for anyone to have a ‘diva’ fit. I now have so much compassion! They do seven and half shows per week at DAYS, and at One Life it was one show a day, and even five shows a week is insanity, and seven and half is extreme sporting! (Laughs) It has been great and everyone here is so nice. I would say, “God, why can’t they memorize their lines?” (Laughs). I remember the more mature actors that played moms and dads on daytime. I am also just a few years older now than I was when I was on One Life to Live (Laughs). I was so shocked, and I have to admit I felt like I was hanging on for dear life. You have to invent a new word for it because “fast” is not even fast enough. There is no time, and I used to think it was fast. In 2010 the pace of taping a daytime soap is shocking! In daytime, well, I have to get back into their rhythm. In nighttime, you get an enormous amount of time to work on your character and memorize your lines, and get more than one take. I think the hardest part of it is the speed and having to think about things when it’s going a thousand miles an hour, which is something that is not the case in nighttime. It is great that I can take my daughter to school most days and can pick her up, but it’s the racing train of daytime that is tough. It is so exciting to see you back on daytime! How has it been getting back into the soap grind? It’s a lot different now than your last time at the races with One Life! So read below, my fantastic chat with Jessica! We also step back in time with Jessica to find out how it was to lose a Daytime Emmy, work with Erika Slezak (Viki), create Fraternity Row, (a soap within a soap), and the hilarious spoof on the Daytime Emmys, The Daisy Awards… all during her time on One Life. Jessica spoke with On-Air On-Soaps about her decision to take on this new role the changes she sees coming back to the rigors of daytime, and gives us a preview of Judge Madeline’s plight (perhaps, she could go up against Judge Judy or Judge Cristina in a new courtroom show spin-off, too!). While certain circumstances surrounding Tuck’s character are being guarded in secrecy, we know that she is the momma bear to Chad, played by Casey Deidrick, and the wife of the Salem D.A. Now in 2010, Tuck returns to daytime in her new role as Madeline-Peterson Woods on Days of our Lives. After saying goodbye to Llanview, the talented actress came to Hollywood where she had appeared on countless primetimes series, including her current stint on the hit HBO vampire series, True Blood. Megan suffered from Lupus and died a tragic death, and her on-screen love affair with Jake Harrison, played by a young Joe Lando, brought daytime audiences to tears. Her role as Megan Gordon on One Life to Live, as the daughter that her mother never knew existed, won Tuck critical raves and a Daytime Emmy nomination. From 1988 to 1992, no other young soap actress made quite the splash as a performer to watch, then Jessica Tuck.
