Now, the two-time Daytime Emmy-nominated actress will chat live on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel tomorrow on Thursday, September 3 beginning at 8pm ET/5pm PT to discuss her new role, her time away from daytime, and of course, her previous soap opera experience.

FANS CAN PARTICIPATE WITH KELLY IN THE LIVE CHAT

If you have a question for Kelly Sullivan, but can’t be with us for the live chat, you can drop it in the comment section below, and we may just ask it during the broadcast.

“On the first page, I said, ‘Yeah, I definitely, definitely, want to audition for this,’” she recalls. “For me, it’s always the character. I just love her. She’s a spitfire. She’s just like, ‘Here I am,’ and I think there’s a really fun freedom to play characters like that. You can sort of live vicariously through them.”

That enthusiasm carried into her audition with Sydney Bullock, who plays Darcy’s daughter, Melissa “Missy” Dylan. “She and I just clicked as soon as I walked in,” Sullivan reports. “I just hugged her, and she was just so sweet and bubbly. I just was like, ‘What a gift to be able to work with this human.’ And then the next day they said, ‘We’d like you to do it, and you start in a month.’”

Among the familiar faces Sullivan encountered during her first days at B&B was Crew Morrow (Will Spencer), son of her former Y&R costar Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman).

“The first day I worked with Sydney, and then Heather Tom [Katie Logan Spencer], and Crew,” she relays. “I was sitting in the hair chair, and I hear this voice, and I’m like, ‘That sounds like someone I know.’ And I turn over, and it’s Crew. And he looks at me, and I look at him, and the first thing out of my mouth was, ‘Oh, my God, you look just like your dad.’ And then I kind of wished I wouldn’t have said that because I’m sure he gets it all the time, but it’s uncanny, the resemblance and the sound. And then 20 minutes later, I went up to him, and I said, ‘I’m sorry for saying that. That’s just so predictable.’ And he goes, ‘It’s a compliment.’ I said, ‘I just want you to know, I love your dad. I worked with him for a year and a half very closely, and he’s very special to me.’

While those connections helped calm her nerves, Sullivan says the warm welcome extended throughout the studio. “It’s such a really amazing vibe in that building of Bold and the Beautiful,” she adds. “Everyone that worked that day, even those who weren’t in scenes with me, came up to me and introduced themselves. That just doesn’t often happen. But to come up and say hi, hug, whatever, I was like, ‘Wow, this is a great place to work. Everyone’s happy to be there.’ I feel like someone needed to pinch me because it was like, ‘This is too good.’”

some background on Darcy and Melissa Dylan

>!Sullivan’s first appearance came via a phone call between Darcy and Missy. Next week, however, Darcy arrives in Los Angeles, shedding more light on both the character and her relationship with her daughter. “Her father left when she was a child, and so Darcy raised her as a single mom,” Sullivan explains. “They moved around a lot. They don’t have a lot of money, never did, so they made the best of what they had. Darcy raised her to be a very independent, confident woman, and it wasn’t always easy. She was Darcy’s whole life, and she moved away when she was 18, so Darcy’s relationship with her over the past few years hasn’t been as close as she would have liked. There’s this best friends [dynamic], which isn’t always conducive to parenting, but what you do know is the love that Darcy has for her daughter and [she] would do anything for her.”!<

Sullivan will portray Darcy Dylan, the mother of Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock), who arrives in Los Angeles as her daughter finds herself caught in the increasingly tense conflict between the Forrester and Spencer families. She began filming on Tuesday, August 4.

“I would love to learn more about Dylan and where she came from, why she is the way she is, and makes the decisions she makes,” Bullock said. “I’ve made interpersonal or internal decisions just as an actor, trying to justify all of your character’s choices, and why they are the way they are, but I would love to get more details and further information about Dylan. She’s a big mystery, so I feel like there’s a lot to uncover.”
