Set Matches (Soap Opera Digest 8/23/05)
Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline) and Bree Williamson (Jessica/Tess)

Digest: Did you click right away?
Williamson: No, actually. I mean, I always liked her, but we weren't like super-close right off the bat. I don't know what it was, really.
Goldsberry: Actually, I thin kshe had suffered a loss and I heard about it. I wasn't good, personal friends with her, but I decided to take a chance and give her a call on the weekend to make sure she was doing okay. When I called she was out skateboarding with friends in Central Park or something, so she was totally fine, but I think from that moment on we were great friends.

Digest: You don't have too many scenes together.
Williamson: It's probably good because if we did we'd just start laughing and be really unprofessional [laughs]. I'm sorry to say, but we really would.
Goldsberry: Yeah, I'd love to work with her more, but it's enough for me to know that she's in the building at the same time when I'm there.

Digest: What do you do together outside of work?
Williamson: We might go see a movie, or go eat really bad diner food together and have our gab sessions.
Goldsberry: Typically, we do the same thing as in the dressing room: Just find some corner to sit down and obsess about our lives.
Williamson: Renee knows all my secrets before anyone else.
Goldsberry: I don't get to spend as much time with her as I'd like outside of work, but when we're there she's that person I have to tell every single detail to since I've seen her last. I'm pretty brave because she admittedly can't keep a secret, and yet I'm stupid enough to tell her all of mine. But she does a good job holding on to them.
