Nash Nabs Jessica (SOW 8/1/06)

Nash kidnaps Jessica and his daughter Brennan to force Tess to come out this week on One Life to Live.

"He comes in with Bruce," sets up Bree Williamson (Jessica/Tess). "At this point, Jessica doesn't remember who Bruce is because it all happened to Tess. Bruce grabs Jessica, and Nash goes straight for the baby. She tries to get away. It's not like she says, 'Oh, this is fine.'"

Destination: Bruce's apartment in New York City.

"It's a roller-coaster ride en route to the apartment," says Williamson. "Jessica obviously sympathizes with Nash because that's how she felt when she lost Antonio. She can see his point of view. Then Nash feels bad and it ping-pongs back and forth."

Meanwhile, back in Llanview, Antonio and Clint figure out Nash has snatched Jessica, and they race to New York. "Antonio and Clint come bursting in," previews Williamson. "It doesn't get ugly with Clint, but with Antonio, yes. There's a bit of an altercation. No punches are thrown, but there's a threat made."

Any sign of Tess? "No, Tess doesn't come out at all," sighs Williamson. But Jessica is starting to get some of Tess' memories. "She's remembering intimate moments between Tess and Nash, which she sees as a betrayal to her and Antonio. She remembers being with Nash, but she never fell in love with him. So it's a very weird place for her."

Not to mention Antonio.
