Bree Williamson Q&A
Poor Jessica is being seriously put through the ringer on One Life to Live, what with Mitch kidnapping her and giving her electroshock therapy (in a blizzard, no less). Given all this, we wanted to check in with actress Bree Williamson and get her thoughts on the story, Brody, the Emmys and more.
The stuff that is happening on air with Mitch right now is very intriguing -- in a fascinating, sick sort of way. How did you enjoy playing that story?
"It's funny. I love Roscoe [Borne, who plays Mitch Laurence] so much. I think he's such a great actor. He does so much interesting stuff that I love watching him as a fan, and I love working with him as an actor. The way he laughed at Stacy the other day [when she admitted her baby was not his grandchild] ... he does so much interesting stuff. It was equal parts super fun and also really creepy. The bite guard thing was a little creepy. I actually choked on that. When they did the scene of me choking, I was actually was."
Oh my god!
" ... So fun is the wrong word, but it was definitely interesting and a good story to play. "
You were pretty much inside for all the blizzard scenes, but I know the show went special-effects crazy for them. Have you seen any of it?
"We were inside for all that stuff, but the stuff that's coming up this week and the week after, it was pretty crazy special effects."
It's kind of unbelievable that they did it in that studio, knowing that space is sometimes an issue.
"Well, the director that they got, Larry Carpenter, is pretty fantastic with that kind of stuff. He usually does all of the remote shootings."
What we're going to discover, because of the electroshock therapy -- which almost gagged you, but nearly killed Jessica -- is that Jess will have a memory problem, and she's not going to remember Brody.
"It's so sad!"
Tell us what we can expect from that whole situation.
"So after getting [the] electric shock, [Jessica]'s lost her memory. She doesn't remember Brody, and after she's brought back to Llanview, [to] the hospital, they find out her memory loss is way deeper than what they had originally expected [Editor's hint: Look for Jessica to remember her past, but only up to a certain point. '90s flashback, anyone?]. That's what leads into the next big story, which is so much fun for me to play."
And you're going to get to work with David Fumero [Cristian] in that story.
"He's wonderful. I love working with him. He's such a nice guy."

Love Roscoe Borne as an actor. Enough with the Evil misdoings. How many times can someone be brought to life. I know it is going to be boring from now on. Jessica no memory, probably when she recalls her lfe to a point involvin Christian we can figure out the rest (maybe). He and Layla will part and he and Jessica will hook up. What a mess. Like Pam above is stating to much with multiple personalties. I go back over 30 years of watching this show and some of the stupid story lines like Eterna where it was discovered that Viki was given a drug by her evil father to wash out her memories of having a child etc. A little creativity writers please.
All I can say about Mitch is I WISH SOME ONE WOULD SHOVE HIS FRUIT OF HIS LORINDS, down his throat, and choke him to death. That whole scene is sick, If I were him I couldn't sleep at night. Pretending to be God. Even on the show, him trying to rape Jessie is wrong, dead wrong. When the writer kills someone off, Let them stay dead. Especially butt holes like Mitch.
That is one sick storyline with Mitch trying to rape Jessica (his daughter) who thinks us sick, sick, sick storylines like this. I know that Mitch is a sick man but this storyline is digustingly sick.
Bree you are a great actress, but the one shock treatment turns you into a zombie , it think not.
CAN SHE STAY SANE FOREVER PLEASE IF I WERE BRODY I WOULD RUN FOR HILLS
Jessica is one of my favorite characters, and I think Bree Williamson is a great actress.
I like her storylines, and it's going to be good!

I agree they need to let Jessica have a somewhat normal life for a while. I'm tired of watching all of her mental break downs and that show has way over done the multiple personalities storyline. As for the Kramer women, geeze I hope its' just a reunion and not a permanent thing. Talk about overkill. And Kelly - I always liked the last actress to play her
I'm not crazy about the way the story is going for Jessica. I think she deserves to have an uneventful life for awhile with Brody, not Cristian. I think Bree is an exceptional actress and I believe she should be able to rest easy for awhile.
I like the story line. I think Jessica is a great character, I also like tess and bess as well. The story line is good and Bree is doing a great job!
The storyline I could do without is the stripper and Clint.......YAWN
I disagree. I don't like Jessica in this story but all others including Tess is cool. And I was corrected about OLTL. Unlike other networks ABC owns all three soaps on the network. No contracts for the show or renewals because ABC owns the rights so I doubt any of the shows are going anywhere.
Oh yeah, I am soo sure Bree was misquoted, RME. And another storyline for Bree that will bomb just like all her other stories have. But I am sure they will just give her YET ANOTHER storyline. And OLTL wonders why it is on the verge of cancellation.
