Molly Madeline and Tess Sullivan

Molly, Madeline and Tess Sullivan booked the role of Hope Thornhart (then Chloe Buchanan) on One Life to Live. The girls immediately were involved in a baby switch storyline as Hope was believed to have died and really was switched with Jess/Bess’ baby. The girls spent the first several months of their time on the show working with those who played the Buchanan family on the soap. After the big reveal Molly, Madeline and Tess began primarily filming with Kathy Brier and R. Brandon Johnson as Marcie and Michael were to adopt Hope when she was born. Soon it became clear that Starr did not want to give her daughter with Cole up for adoption any longer and the girls began filming with their third family on the soap. Molly, Madeline and Tess loved working with everyone on the show, and Kristen Alderson always had plenty to say about how much she enjoyed filming with her on-screen daughters. Unfortunately their time on the show came to an end in January 2012 when the soap aired its final network episode.

    Stars Say

    • “Every time they’re in the scene, they steal it. I hear that its the hardest thing to do as an actor – work with animals and babies – but my experience so far has been perfect. When they make little noises or start crying…you just have to pay attention and acknowledge that stuff, and that’s what makes it real. [On being able to tell who is who] Im starting to, a little bit. Believe it or not, you can start to see their different personalities. Who doesn’t like babies?” – Brandon Buddy,Soap Opera Weekly
    • “I love them! They’re the most wonderful, sweetest babies ever. I always tease their mom like, ‘You wouldn’t miss one, if I took just one! Don’t be selfish!” – Bree Williamson, ABC Soaps In Depth
    • “Molly [one of the triplets who play Hope], who is usually on the set with us, turned the corner in the dressing room this one day and saw Brandon [Buddy, Cole] and went, ‘Dadda!; We were like, ‘Oh, my God, what a good little actress!’ Then the other day we were taping scenes where Hannah was holding the baby and I walked in and she went, “Mama!’ I think she was just calling out for her mother, who was also on the set, but it worked out so well that when I walked in she said it. There are moments like that that make it really real.” – Kristen Alderson, Soap Opera Digest
