Kelley Menighan Hensley Speaks on Dusty's Return
Matt Richenthal at .Kelley Menighan Hensley stars on As the World Turns as the character of Emily.
She's excited about the new story line involving her and the return of Dusty. The actress recently spoke to Soap Opera Weekly about it:
Soap Opera Weekly: So what's it like working with Grayson McCouch (Dusty) again? Was it just like riding a bike?
Kelley Menighan Hensley: Oh, yeah. I mean, honestly, I think it was the week he left that I was starting to say, "How do we get him back?" He's a special guy; he brings a special thing to the plate. We just love working together. We have a great rapport. We have a great deal of admiration for each other, and it goes a long way.
Weekly: There's so much drama tied up in Dusty's return. So many characters are affected. Lily, Holden, Emily...
Hensley: There's a lot of resentment. I mean, it's, "Do I choke you or do I kiss you?" Emily's like, "How could you have done what you did?" But then when you hear what it was [that motivated Dusty], clearly you forgive the guy. It's sort of unforgivable [to fake your death], but this is what we do in daytime!
