Jack Wagner gave his character the dubious tag as he's been on amission to procreate- and he's tired! ith The Bold And The Beautiful's ethos rooted in family and relation ships, Jack Wagner as Nick has literally been boosting the population of the show. While he accepts it as par for the soap medium, he says Nick isn't the stand-up guy he used to be ... Your dressing room is pretty sparse. Were your other soap opera haunts like this one? "I had always visited them, but they were never my own, and all the houses I have owned looked just like this. When a woman would walk into my house, she would say, 'Now I know why you have spent so much time at my house!'" Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), was a good soap storyline. And when you introduce a new character, like Katie, it can get a bit tricky. I think Nick's charac ter was sacrificed this year, Nick has always been a stand-up guy, trying to do the right thing. This year I named him the 'seed man'. He just drops his seed in any woman he sees, and what happens, happens. To play that has been difficult." How do you like work· ing with Nick's newest love interest Katie Logan, played by Heather Tom? "I find Heather very interest ing. She is able to do comedy, and obviously, she can do drama!" What about Nick and Bridget's (Ashley Jones) relationship? "Her character has got that unrequited love all the time. It was all about Nick, and then the heart transplant. It was almost like courtesy sex with Katie on the beach." W How do you feel about Nick being a/l over the map with the ladies? "It's a little weird! It's been a very unusual year for Nick to be in love with Taylor (Hunter Tylo). But as far as I'm concerned, it's B&B: 'Blondes and Brunettes', not 'Bold and Beautiful!'. It was really good to go through that egg storyline and whose baby it was. I thought the way they did that with the two rivals of Taylor and How have you dealt with it? "You have to act as if you're doing a play a day, and then we wrap and do another one. It's gotten a little confusing, but that's okay; that's part of this medium." Are there any other women with who you would like to be paired on B&B that you haven't been with? "Please, I'm tired! Look at me; I'm actually 27!" Do you still find time for celebrity-pro golf tournaments? "We are not golfing because I have an 18-year-old and a 13-year-old, and this is my last leg here. I'm on the back nine with these kids, so I've abandoned a little bit of 'Jack time' to focus on really being there for them. I am a busy man!" Is fatherhood every thing you expected it to be? "When you have a child, nobody tells you what it's like. And by the way, I'm a single parent. When I have my children, it's about how to combine my needs and schedule with theirs. Mine really have to adjust to what is theirs. It's kind of a part of parenting. It's selfless." Is it still hard for you to go out in pUblic because you are so recognisable? "LA isn't bad at all, and that's where I live. I can kind of go around with a golf hat or something and it's not so big a deal. When you're out of LA, it gets goofy. If I'm out with my girlfriend, Heather Locklear, it's different because she's so popular. It's insane! They follow us everywhere. If I go out on my own, it's cool." How is the relationship with you and Heather working out? "We have good times, and things are good." What would you still love to see Nick do story-wise on 8&8? "Something a little more substantial in terms of power. I think they exer cised that (with) shipping company, and trying to have
