Molly Burnett and Casey Deidrick: New DAYS, Modern Family, Chill and even Harry Potter

On Thursday, July 28, while visiting the "Days of our Lives" set, my crew and I had walked in noticing a tray of cupcakes sitting at the security desk. Turns out it was brought in by Molly Burnett, who was celebrating her third year portraying the role of Melanie Layton on the daytime soap. After completing some scenes that are set to air in October, Burnett and Casey Deidrick (Chad DiMera) headed outside to Salem Place, one of the sets no longer used by the soap, and spent more than 11 minutes talking with us about their characters, what they do in their personal life outside of work, and some of their favorite TV shows and movies. Also, for those fans clamoring for some Chill (Chad/Will), Deidrick shared heapos;s not opposed to a possible pairing.

That was very nice. As a DOOL fan, I really appreciate seeing the actors out of character like this. It's so interesting that they both not only know about Chill but seem to advocate for it. I'm hoping for a Chill/Wilson love triangle now. XD

She and Casey are adorable and hilarious.

why the hate on Molly? I love watching her on screen. She is a great actress who's character has evolved for the better. You sound bitter and jealous.

@SimbiAni25 I noticed that too. I would be fine with "Chanie" or "Melad" for a while, but Chill all the way! ^^ It is nice having Jack back, and while I would also enjoy Frankie returning, I would really love it for Lucas to be back.

@YoungOscarWinner She has started to branch out a bit which I'm sure you know as her crazy stalker. If soap operas were dying they would not have been on for the past 50 years. And yes, some of the other soap operas have over the top acting but this is why Days is the most popular as it does not. They hire highly talented people for their show. And many Days actors have moved to other things if you know anything about the show.

well by all means tell me about the work you have had lately. Your screen name is quite misleading, because I certainly didn't remember hearing or seeing anything about you in the Oscar nominations.

@YoungOscarWinner what is your problem? If you don't like her don't watch the show, because i can tell you now that she ain't going

[estherrahaman]

Shw wished she went to high school with her and even if she did she was probably one of those haters and wished that maybe if she and been nicer to her maybe she could be famous to so she decided since that wasn't how it happened she c\ould just keep hating

[blondenblue]

@viera1963 ok now I'M jealous b/c I'm not famous and Casey is not my boyfriend, lol! I've always been honest about my feelings for Casey! But I'm not delusional;I know we'll never meet and run off into the sunset or crap like that.

@YoungOscarWinner Dude i don't get it! What in the world do you have against molly? Going to her every video and writing trash about her! If you don't like it then just stop browsing her! Seems to me you are a little obsessed with her! :/

@YoungOscarWinner I feel sorry for you
