MALE CALL
Beth Maitland (Traci, Y&R) appreciates the leading men she has worked with in the past. “I have had the pleasure to work with some amazing actors and wonderful people through the years,” the actress marvels. “I recently watched some scenes with Scott Palmer, who played Traci’s college professor, Tim Sullivan, and miss him a bunch. There was some good, emotional stuff between those characters that really changed Traci and gave me adult storylines to play. I also loved the handsome humor of Greg Wrangler, who was Traci’s exhusband, Steve Connelly, and I miss him terribly. Someone recently posted a clip from a Danny Romalotti concert and I stay in touch with and love [his portrayer,] Michael Damian. Along with Tracey Bregman [Lauren], we had a wonderful time singing and performing.” But there’s one actor who will always stand out as Maitland’s personal fave. “I think I would have to say I miss working with Don Diamont [ex-brad; Bill, B&B] most of all,” she smiles. “We worked together the longest, through ups and downs, personally and professionally, and he is a man and an actor I am so proud of. His commitment to his family and friends and his professionalism and respect for his work have grown to epic proportions, and I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t get to run into him at CBS often and catch up. I have so much respect and love for him.”
