Kidding Around (Soap Opera Digest 5/30/06)

Bree Williamson (Jessica) used her character's pregnancy to help further distinguish between the two personalities. "Whenever Jess was out, her hands were all over her belly and she was very aware of her belly, and Tess didn't do the pregnancy that way," the actress recalls. "You know, some women when they're pregnant, carry it like a purse, and some carry it like they're actually carrying a baby. So, Jessica was the latter, and for Tess, her belly was like an accessory." Overall, Williamson is relieved to be done with the pregnancy scenes. "Getting up and sitting down while pregnant, I'd always have to remind myself that she was not pregnant because they'd tell me, 'You're not acting pregnant now!'"
