Spotlight on Bree Williamson (Soap Opera Weekly 11/7/06)
One Life to Live's Bree Williamson talks about Jessica's two men, the upcoming wedding, and what those long shoots are really like.

If you were Jessica, would you pick Nash or Antonio?
My vote changes every day.

Does Jessica really want Nash to stay away from the wedding?
She was fighting against something she was feeling inside. She didn't want him there because she did want him there. It's very confusing. She says "Go, go, go!" and then she goes and seeks him out somewhere for whatever reason. She's playing the opposite of what she really wants.

You must be exhausted from that all-day wedding shoot. Did you have any fun?
When you get so many actors together in a room who don't normally work toether, there's a whole bunch of chatting. Everyone's talking to one another. We do blocking but it's frustrating because nobody's listening. It's a fun day, but it's a day of ups and downs. For one hour after a five (-minute break) everyone's happy and everything's going really smoothly, and the next hour your energy goes down and you're like, "How many more scenes do we have?"

This week, Claudia accuses Nash of just being in the wedding to force Tess out. Guess Claudia and Jessica won't be BFFs?
She does not like her, and I don't think she liked her from the first second she saw her. Every time Jessica meets Claudia she just says things to reinforce her dislike. And I'm sure Jessica is super, super jealous.

Something happens to her wedding dress?
Well, the wardrobe department sewed two pieces on to make the dress look different at first. It's a lot more conservative. You'll have to watch to see what happens.

Does poor grieving Natalie have to pretend to be happy at Jessica's wedding?
She's happy in front of everybody, but when she's behind closed doors she breaks down.

Is this the first time you've been a full-fledged TV bride?
Jessica married Tico a couple of years ago, but I'd like to forget about that!

You, Forbes March (Nash) and Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio) have had some personal milestones recently -- a wedding, a new baby, an engagement. Did you celebrate?
A little bit. Forbes is a little less forthcoming with his personal life than Kamar. But I've known Kamar a long time, so it's different. But, yes, of course.

When the three of you are together, who is the oen most likely to crack the other two up?
One of the boys. Probably Forbes.

Do you ever wish you and your husband Josh Evans had had a bigger wedding than 25 people in Costa Rica?
I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was the best wedding ever. No regrets.
