WITH THIS RING"It was a very cool day at the studio," says
Alicia Minshew (Kendall, ALL MY CHILDREN) of showing up to work the morning after her beau,
Richie Hersch, popped the question. "One of the first people to find out was
Sabine [
Singh, ex-Greenlee]. It was her last day and she was really upset, and all of a sudden she saw a ring on my finger. She looked at me and said, 'Oh, my gosh, you just took the worse day for me and made it amazing. I am so happy for you.' Then
Susan [
Lucci, Erica] came to see it and then the hair and makeup people. And of course I called
Rebecca [
Budig, Greenlee],
Eden [
Riegel, ex-Bianca],
Cameron [
Mathison, Ryan],
Terri [
Ivens, ex-Simone]. And I sat down with
Thorsten [
Kaye, Zach, who played matchmaker for the duo] and told him, 'You are partly responsible for this ring being on my finger. You have no idea how special you are to me and to Richie.' Then I had to go do a bunch of love scenes with Thorsten [
laughs]. I was like, 'I just engaged to your friend -- let's go have sex!'"
