“I realized, okay, I’m probably not much more for this world,” he said. “It was difficult for me, actually, for me as a person. Because during the day, when he plays a character like Maria Santos ( All my children), Love -or hate -he never intended to be a vilified character. And so it was difficult to be that character, to be a favorite of the fan, to be, as literally hated. “”
