While Matt Borlenghi has found acting success outside of the daytime world, he is more than willing to return to soap operas if asked, even though he's relocated his family from Los Angeles to Atlanta. "When I was on 'All My Children,' I was young and impulsive. I mean, who in their right mind leaves a show at the height of their popularity?" he told Soap Opera Digest. "I was so excited when Brad Bell gave me a role [on 'The Bold and the Beautiful,'" he continued. "That came at a time when I had just straightened myself out after making a lot of bad lifestyle choices, so it gave me a chance at redemption. I was so bummed when that role ended but then I was excited when I got 'Days.'"
Still, would he return to Los Angeles if an opportunity presented itself? "If any of the soaps called me tomorrow and asked me to do a two-year contract, I would definitely move back for that," Borlenghi added. In the meantime, he happily reminisces about his time on "All My Children," especially working with Kelly Ripa. "I never knew what I was going to get from her day to day. We hated each other for a while and then became good friends," Borlenghi explained. "I was so proud to be there on Hollywood Blvd. when she got her star [on the Hollywood Walk of Fame], and I'm so happy for her and her family for all the success they are enjoying."
