AMAZING Grace

Victoria Grace's Childhood Dreams Are Coming Through With A Plum Role On DAYS.

Playing Wendy Shin on both BEYOND SALEM: CHAPTER 2 and DAYS has been a real ego boost for Victoria Grace. After a few months on the job, the actress has had a trio of leading men — Carson Boatman (Johnny), Lucas Adams (Tripp) and Tanner Stine (Joey) — fawning all over her character. “This is something totally foreign to me,” admits Grace candidly. “Growing up, I was never the popular girl who all the guys flocked to, so this has been an interesting experience and a lot of fun. I was just home in Maryland visiting my family, and I was able to brag to all of my siblings, ‘Yeah. My character has three guys after her.’ They all got a kick out of that.”

What makes the situation more gratifying for Grace is the fact that Wendy isn’t your classic daytime damsel. “It’s amazing that here Wendy is this total tomboy,” points out Grace. “She’s not the typical girl next door, very girly and feminine. Wendy doesn’t care about fashion or what she even looks like. I love that these guys are obviously flocking to her for her personality, smarts and sense of humor versus her outer shell. I think that’s beautiful.”
