Stage Coach

GH star Tamara Braun already had several gigs under her belt when she signed on as Carly, but she credits Homa with helping her adjust to daytime's breakneck pace. "When I first started the show, I had an insane amount of work for a person who had never done daytime. John came up to me on-set and said, 'I just want to introduce myself. I'm a coach, I saw your audition tape, I know you can act. I just want to let you know that I'm here if you need me, but until you do, I'm staying out of your way.'" Braun, overwhelmed with input from various people, turned to Homa. "He simplifies," she shares. "Also, in the beginning, I had to cry a lot and I was afraid to show my tears, which is not good on a soap," she laughs. "I'd say, 'Where's Homa?' I swear, he didn't have to say anything; all he had to do was look in my eyes."
