Alison Sweeney is no stranger to double-dipping, as the soap-opera actor has doubled as a Hallmark star more than once in her impressive career. However, she acknowledged it's harder to work on soaps than it is on Hallmark projects. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, the actor shared that working on soaps requires much more effort due to the amount of dialog and overall more prep time for shooting.
"When I film the Hallmark movies, there's a way you can pause if you mess up your lines, and then you can keep going. There are certain things like that you can't do in daytime [soaps]," the industry veteran revealed. Despite it being challenging at times, Sweeney confirmed it's also easier for her to emotionally connect with her "Days of Our Lives" character, as she's already familiar with her co-stars and Sami's history.
"I think it would be a lot harder if I had some imagined off-camera storyline with someone and then came in and had a fight sequence with them," Sweeney noted.
