PHOTO REALISM
Fans may have noticed that during GH’S special, Sonny-centric episode, which took place in an alternate universe where Sonny and Olivia were married, the set (a redressed version of Margaux’s mother’s living room) was decorated with photos of Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Lisa Locicero (Olivia) with their real-life kids. “Wasn’t that cute?” coos Locicero. “Production asked for some photos of me with [3-year-old daughter] Verity and I sent them a million of our recent photos, but of course, everything on my camera was a selfie. They were like, ‘No, this picture is supposed to have been taken years ago, before they had selfies! It’s just supposed to be you and a baby, so listen, just walk outside and have your husband take a picture of you and the baby.’ I said, ‘Okay, that I can do!’ I actually watched the episode with Verity. I said, ‘You’re going to be on TV, just wait!’ And when they showed her picture, she got a huge smile on her face. So, uh-oh! They did do a really nice sort of zoom-in on her picture, but of course, when you’re a kid and you see your mom on TV a lot, you probably think it’s just a thing that happens all the time.”
