BREE ON NASH & TESS

Bree On Nash and Tess's Romance

(reflecting Nash and Tess's first meeting) "Here, she has met her match. He handles her in a way that she has never experienced." (SOW 29/05)

(on why Tess stops Nash from killing Norman, her abuser) "Killing him would change [her and Nash] forever. As tainted as they are already as a couple, this would be something they couldn't ever wash clean, so she stops him." (SOD 4/4/06)

(on Nash viewing the tape showing her childhood abuse) "She's obviously destroyed by that, because to have your boyfriend and father of your child know this about you is one thing, but [for him] to see it is something else." (SOD 4/11/06)

"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)

Bree On Tess's Return After Nash's Death

(on what Tess's weaknesses are) "Right now, she's keeping them all pretty hidden, but I'd say Nash would be one, and her babies would be another. She actually says at one point that she's doing this all for her baby so she's able to look it in the eye when it's older." (SOD 9/23/08)

(on why Tess went to the cottage when she started to feel labor pains) "Nash was the only person in the whole wide world that she could talk to, and that was their home." (SOW 11/11/08)

(on the death of Tess and Nash's baby) "The baby dies and Tess wakes up and is like, 'Why isn't my baby crying?' and then she loses consciousness again. The same way that Jessica has had to cope with other situations, she'll have to cope with this one." (SOD 11/18/08)

(on filming the death of Tess and Nash's baby) "I didn't deal with it very well. It was really, really sad. It was the first time ever I've come home from work and couldn't stop crying. It was awful. Horrible! It's a good story, but emotionally very hard." (SOD 12/16/08)
