From this mother's, author Joyce Maynard, website:
My son Will is an actor in L.A. The week before he had been cast in a soap opera, but told me specifically that he did not want me telling my friends about this. Still absorbing the broken ankle, and the rest of it -- and worried, too, that showing up for his new job on the soap opera unable to walk might present problems -- I had mentioned Willy’s new role to one of my friends.
She ran into us in town, as we were running and hopping around. “Great news about the soap opera,” she said. Will shot me a look.
“Didn’t we just talk about this?” he said.
I'm not sure what the role on Y&R is, but this was an interesting read.
