The two became friends, and while they weren't spending every second off screen together, they did interact regularly enough to be considered friends. Locklear's kindness made navigating the set much easier for Rinna, who stayed on through the show's end in 1999. "And so Heather and I had a great time. I mean, we weren't best friends off-camera — we didn't hang out every minute," she told People. "We were actors that worked together that really respected one another and allowed each other to have the space to play, and it was just a brilliant experience for me."
As she grew more comfortable on set, she began to love acting on the show as her character, Taylor McBride. Rinna said she enjoyed everything from her character's wardrobe to her behavior to her one-liners. "What a juicy role to get to play. I look back at it and I can't even believe that that was allowed and that we got to do that," she continued.
