BREE ON NASH & JESSICA

Bree On the Nash/Jessica/Antonio Triangle

(on whether or not Jessica is scared of what a paternity test might find) "She still thinks the baby could be Nash's, but I'm sure in her head she sees herself and Antonio raising the kid with Uncle Nash coming over to visit." (SOD 1/3/06)

(on which man should win the integrated Tess/Jessica) "Uh, both would be great. I think both men have proven to love Jessica and Tess more than anything, so it's an interesting situation. I don't know what they're going to do." (SID 8/15/06)

(on Jessica's refusal to let Nash be a groomsman in Jessica/Antonio's wedding) "She says, 'Just don't be there, because I can't handle it and I don't think you can either.' She doesn't want any reminder of her feelings for Nash." (SOW 10/31/06)

(on whether she would pick Nash or Antonio) "My vote changes every day." (SOW 11/7/06)

(on why Jessica wanted Nash to stay away from her 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." (SOW 11/7/06)

(on Jessica taking Nash aside during her wedding to Antonio) "Why would she feel the need to talk to Nash at the altar? She loves Antonio more than anything, but she also has feelings for Nash and her feelings aren't clear to her at all." (SOD 11/14/06)

"Because Jessica is really strong-willed, she thinks marriage will get rid of any feelings that she has for Nash. Some people have an illusion about marriage -- you just do it and everything is going to be fine -- but in actuality, the opposite usually happens when you don't go in with everything being calm... And she knows in her heart that she feels something for this other man." (SID 1/2/07)

"This is not one of those love triangles where, because it was successful, they've played the same scene over and over. Nash and Jessica have the same fight like five times, but they need to do that because she is denying her feelings and he is trying to point that out to her. It works." (New York Vue 4/15/07)

"Nash is not as noble as Antonio is. He's a bit more selfish. He's a different kind of character than any other guy on the show. He's like, 'Yeah, I understand.' But not really!" (New York Vue 4/15/07)

"Everything moved so quickly for Jessica after the integration that she really didn't get the chance to live and breathe as this new person before she married Antonio." (SOD 5/15/07)

(on who she wanted Jessica to end up with, Nash or Antonio) "David Vickers. [But] I am happy with who they picked for me." (SID 4/7/08)

(naming the unusual places that Jash had sex during the triangle) "Todd's office, the quarry, the storage room at Capricorn and Antonio and Jessica's bed. Yep, they made out on Antonio and Jessica's bed. That's unusual!" (SOD 6/10/08)

Bree On Jash Quarry Sex (April 2007)

"They are intense, intense, intense scenes." (SOW 4/17/07)

"This was so difficult to shoot because it's pouring rain, obviously, and it's not warm. They gave us 20 minutes of warm water and the first scene that you see me in, where I'm leaning up against the car and it's raining on me, that was hose water. Honestly, they take a hose and put it over your head! And when they said, 'Cut!' I just started laughing. I was hysterical, like, 'I cannot believe this is happening.'" (SOD 5/29/07)

Bree On Jash's Marriage

"When it comes to her and Nash getting married so soon, she thought she was going to die and she wanted to die being Nash's wife. They almost died in the fire, so they wanted to make love, and then she almost died getting her liver transplant, so she wanted to be married." (SOW 9/18/07)

"They're a team. The one good thing about Jessica and Nash being mean to Antonio is it shows their strength as a couple. It's unfortunate it has to be at Antonio's expense but it shows that they're really allies." (SOW 9/18/07)

"Jessica and Nash are having fun, finally! They're at home with their baby and having nice, fun times. ... They are sublimely happy with one another." (SoapNet Promo 2008)

"It's an interesting exercise to make what the writers chose work. It was hard to let [Jessica and Antonio's] relationship go, but when Nash came on the show, there was really something special with him and [Jess' alter ego] Tess; now it's about finding that same special thing with him and Jessica." (SID 4/7/08)

(on the possibility of shaking up Nash and Jessica's marriage) "It would be cool to explore some sort of controversy within their relationship. You know what's difficult about writing a couple that's totally in love? Nobody wants to watch it!" (SID 4/7/08)

Bree On Nash's Death

(on filming Nash's funeral) "I yelled so hard during one of the scenes that I actually started to sweat. She's just going off on Jared and Natalie because they show up at the funeral and she freaks out and throws herself on the coffin." (SOD 7/1/08)

"Nash is dead; it's friggin' awful. I can't help but get a little personally attached to it. It's a result of Forbes [March] getting fired, so it's upsetting. It's like a death in the cast." (SOD 7/1/08)

(on how her husband, Michael Roberts, can't watch Jessica's crying scenes) "It's true. He'll get up and say, 'I can't watch this.' My dad's the same way. [During Nash's death and funeral], my dad called me like 10 times a day to make sure I was okay. That's because Forbes [March, ex-Nash] did such a good job with it. He had me bawling my eyes out during those hospital scenes." (SOD 8/5/08)

(on Jessica's anger toward Jared and Natalie continuing even after Tess tried to kill them) "She's devastated because she's still really mad at them and she's still healing from Nash's death. For Jessica, Nash just passed away, and how she felt at the funeral is where she's starting from." (SOW 11/25/08)
