Love is in the Air, Not Just on the Air

Michael E. Knight (Tad, ALL MY CHILDREN) and Catherine Hickland (Tess, LOVING)

In the beginning: "I met Michael at my birthday party," recalls Hickland. "A guest brought him. We were friends first, but when we got around to a first date, it was very passionate. I knew it was love when he stopped closing the bathroom door."

Day and Knight: "People would be surprised to know that Michael watches those nature shows where animals eat each other. [He watches them] when we're eating together. It grosses me out completely, but I can't get him to stop. It always makes me laugh when he makes one of his 'Tad' faces. I know to stay out of Michael's way when he's in a bad mood. I always go to the movies. By the time I get home, he's fine."

Tidbits: "If they made a movie of our relationship, it would be called Milo and Otis." "The best surprise Michael gave me was…he snuck up behind me once and, well, nevermind." "My favorite scene of Michael's is any scene where he's in bed and looking sexy." "The only thing we fight about is who pushes the wagon when we go grocery shopping. If he's been good, I let him push it." "It's not difficult or strange being with Cady McClain [Dixie, AMC] or Julia Barr [Brooke, AMC] knowing they kiss Michael during the day. Not as long as they kiss me, too."
