Joseph (on the longevity of his family): My father is going to be 105 this November 24. Totally unbelievable. We’re waiting to have a big party. And my mother is 95. They still live in Connecticut, which is where I’m from originally. At my wedding, Susan Flannery came up to me and said, ‘Does Patricia realise this friggin’ guy could live another 30 years?’ [Laughs]
Joseph (on his love of opera): As a teenager, I had a rock ‘n’ roll band in high school. And then I heard this opera and I got so involved. The music was so beautiful and I listened to this whole thing and at the end, I was sitting there crying. I thought that if something could do that to me, then this is something important to look into and it’s got to be part of me. That opera was La Boheme, which I’ve loved ever since.
Joseph (on what made him leave B&B): My contract was up at the end of August. A little before July, I sat down with Brad and I said, ‘Look. The way things are going here, this is not strong enough for me’. And he just said, ‘I can’t find a thing right now that’s strong enough for an actor like you and I don’t want to waste your time’.
Joseph (on returning to Days of ur Lives): Kristian came up to me and said, ‘Will you please come home?’ I tell you, it almost made me cry. It’s kind of gratifying to see that people care that much. I think bringing back Stefano now is certainly warranted and would make sense. If they’re smart, they would - but it’s up to them.
