Bye, Tess! (Soap Opera Weekly 4/11/06)

Nash is a mess when Tess begins integration therapy this week on One Life to Live.

After Clint and Viki give Antonio the heads-up on what to expect, Clint must break the news to Tess and Nash that he's booked a session with Dr. Crosby and Dr. Jamison. "Clint sees a lot of himself in Nash," explains Jerry verDorn (Clint). "He had to live through this same disease with Viki. He helps him out by saying, 'Here's what's going to happen next.'"

Tess is terrified, obviously, and feels ambushed when Clint, Viki, Antonio, Dr. Jamison and Dr. Crosby all gather together for the session. To make matters worse, "According to doctor's orders, Nash and/or Antonio must leave the room if nessecary," notes verDorn. "That goes for the parents, too."

Finally, Tess is put under -- and Jessica re-emerges. But she doesn't stick around for long, particularly when she begins to remember the childhood trauma that split her into Tess in the first place.

"It's pretty grisly," warns verDorn.
