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
