'I loved that Darin was returning too,' she said. 'I like that with Wyatt and Shauna, our characters, we're light and fun, so we'll see where we go.

'Every actor should do a soap at one point or another in their career, especially if they are starting out,' she explained. 'It is the best place to learn. It moves fast.'
