He then added with his characteristic flirtatious cheek, “You might get abducted or brainwashed every few years.”  

All three actors underscored that social media, and a show or character’s interaction with their fans on it, has changed daytime.

“It’s [social media is] a great way to interact with the show, said Koslow, “If fans really love something, or really hate something, that absolutely influences the writing.”
