When the results are revealed, it leads to an emotional moment between father and son. “These two love each other deeply,” acknowledges the actor. “The anxiety Eric has felt over the past few months is something he never felt before, about age, about being left out. Ridge is aware of that and knows what his dad is feeling. Eric has certainly been yelling at him enough about it [laughs]. No matter the outcome, getting his hands in there and burning up some pencils on the design page got the creative juices flowing again. It has absolutely been worthwhile. Eric feels alive again.”  “Eric feels alive again.”  Gregory’s ALS diagnosis, giving you and Gregory Harrison  (Gregory) some meaty material. What has it been like to play Finn grappling with his father’s mortality? “First of all, Greg’s amazing. He’s a lovely human being, he’s a lovely spirit of a man, and then on top of that, he’s an amazing actor. Connecting with him is so easy. This has been a very strange year for me because  I’m the same age as my mom was when she passed away, and of course, I lost my father as well, and I lost them both to cancer. I remember that slow decline, but I didn’t have to draw on that. Someone asked me, ‘Did you draw on those experiences?’, knowing a little bit about what I went through, and I said, ‘No, this is just the relationship that I have with Greg and the notion of him not being on the show, because I enjoy working with him so much and he is so talented and I think he brings so much.’ They’re hard scenes but they’re easy to do, if that makes any sense. It’s just the connection between two people, or three people, if you bring Chase into it.”  How do you think the dynamic between Finn, Chase and Gregory has shifted now that everyone knows what Gregory is facing? “I think it’s very true to life; if anybody’s ever dealt somebody that is terminally ill, very quickly, your own ego takes a back seat to what they’re experiencing and the pain that they are suffering. These people were distanced for most of their lives and now they’re reconnecting. I’ve had a lot of people come up to me mostly in the supermarkets and say, ‘Oh, that’s a lot like my relationship with my brother,’ or, ‘My sister and my mom and I had this relationship.’ I think it’s very relatable.”
