Gosling emphasized the difficulty of soap opera actors' work, pointing out the requirement to memorize up to ten pages of dialogue per night and perform complex scenes in a single take. He described Hall's performance, in particular, as an 'incredible acting class' for her ability to portray a character possessed by the devil.

Gosling responded to Hall's invitation with a video posted on his partner, Eva Mendes, and 'Project Hail Mary's' Instagram accounts. In the video, Gosling confirmed his attendance and described Hall as his 'OG acting inspiration'. The actor expressed his enthusiasm for personally thanking Hall for her influence.

Gosling highlighted the importance of Hall in his development as an actor, mentioning that 'it wasn't Marlon Brando, it wasn't De Niro, it was you'. Gosling's acceptance of Hall's invitation marks a special moment for both actors and for fans of 'Days of Our Lives'.

Although Gosling accepted the invitation, a date for his visit to the 'Days of Our Lives' set has not yet been established.
