Read our interview below.

SERIAL SCOOP: We know you can’t share too much of the upcoming storyline, but if you had to summarize in one word what your character has been up to, what would that word be?
ERIC MARTSOLF: Theresa would be the word. That is what he has been up to. Figuratively. Literally. He’s all up in Theresa’s grill right now, and it’s a dangerous game he’s playing right now because Theresa has enabled him to do some awful things in the past. You know. That is why they got together in the first place. They were both ok with each other’s substitutes and alcoholism – forget this nice little town of Salem where everyone is holding hands and taking bubble baths together. Let’s just spit on it. Let’s just be together and do what we want. They are almost like the anti-soap couple. And now the writers have turned this around and said, ‘Here’s two flawed people – what if they raise a child and have true love together? Why not? You know, life isn’t perfect. I don’t think a soap opera is about showing a perfect world. It’s about escapism and the world is not perfect. So I think they’re perfect pairs in the same perfect world, and I find myself rooting for them because I want to believe that two people can forgive one another, fix one another and even being so deeply cut, they can mend one another. It’s a nice love story.
