Here's what else the vastly improved of late actress had to say:

It's a blessing in disguise," Heinle declares. "He's never been in this position before. [He] is going to grow as a person and as an actor. I hope he gets a cop show! He's done guest roles on primetime because he was working on Y&R. Now that he has nothing holding him back, you just wait — he's going to [succeed even more]. I know it. He's going to be so happy that this has happened."

Hmm, he decided to quit, but it's a blessing in disguise?? (Scratches head). Okie dokey! For more from Heinle, check out this week's CBS Soaps in Depth.
