Jessica (No, Wait -- Tess) Gives Birth (Soap Opera Weekly 5/2/06)


Jessica and Tess battle over who will give birth to "their" baby this week on One Life to Live.

"The labor is quite difficult, because Tess and Jess are fighting," sets up Bree Williamson (Jessica/Tess). "Tess is never the one to handle the pain. She's handled the emotional trauma, she's never been sick. When she's giving birth, she's like, 'I don't do pain. This is not cool.' So it's hard for Tess to fight to keep Jessica from coming out. And because she has to fight to keep Jessica from coming out, it causes tension that keeps the labor from progressing."

Nash and Antonio don't help. "They're bickering," sighs Williamson. "It's a nightmare. Then, finally, the kid is born. It's a neat moment, [particularly] between Jessica and Tess. It's one of the first times that they really get together."

So, who's the daddy? Sorry, that won't be revealed until June!
