2009 – Molly, Madeline and Tess Sullivan

Q&A is not to be duplicated elsewhere and claimed as their own.
STAR-KIDZ EXCLUSIVES

Molly, Madeline & Tess portray “Hope Thornhart” on One Life to Live. The girls started out as three of many babies in the role but became the only ones in the role December of last year. To date the girls have aired in 78 episodes in a little over a year.

1.How did the girls adjust going from working with
Bree to Kristen?
VERY WELL, IT WAS A SMOOTH AND SEAMLESS TRANSITION

2.What’s it like on the One Life To Live set, now that
the girls are with different people?
IT IS JUST AS FUN AS IT WAS BEFORE. IT IS ALWAYS NICE WHEN THEY ARE DOING SCENES INSIDE ROOMS OF THE HOMES VS. IN CARS OR THE KIDNAPPING TYPE OF SCENES BECAUSE I THINK THE GIRLS JUST FEEL COMFORTABLE AND ENJOY CHECKING EVERYTHING OUT (ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE TOYS AROUND).

3. How do the girls like working with Kassie DePaiva?
SHE IS VERY SWEET AND IS GREAT TO THE GIRLS. THE GIRLS LIKE BEING WITH THE LADIES OVERALL BECAUSE THEY LOVE TO PLAY WITH THEIR JEWERLY!

4. How do the girls like working with Carmen LoPorto?
THEY DON’T HAVE A LOT OF INTERACTION WITH HIM BUT HE IS VERY NICE AND THE GIRLS LIKE TO BE AROUND OTHER KIDS.

5.Have the girls been able to film with their on-screen uncles Jacob and Luke Clodfelter?
I DON’T RECALL THEM DOING ANY SCENES WITH THEM

6. Can Kristen and Brandon tell the girls apart, or any of the cast members?
KRISTIN IS UNBELIEVABLE AT TELLING THE GIRLS APART. I THINK SHE COULD PROBABLY EVEN DO IT FROM THE BACK OF THEIR HEADS. SHE TAKES ONE QUICK GLANCE AT THEM AND REFERS TO THEM BY THE CORRECT NAME. I REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT. BRANDON IS GOOD AT IT TOO AND THERE ARE A FEW OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THAT CAN TELL THEM APART.

7. Do each of the girls have a favorite cast member?
I THINK THEY ARE STILL TOO YOUNG TO DEMONSTRATE FAVORITES

8. How did the girls like getting to work with Kathy Brier again?
THEY ARE STILL SO YOUNG THAT IT WASN’T LIKE THEY REALLY REMEMBERED HER AND IT WAS ALSO A VERY QUICK SCENE SO THEY DIDN’T GET MUCH INTERACTION WITH HER

9. What do the girls call Brandon and Kristen?
THE GIRLS ARE NOT REALLY FULL ON TALKING YET, THEY ONLY SAY SOME WORDS SUCH AS MOMMA, DADA, MILK, BALL, SHOES, BANANA, HOT, HI, AND EACH OTHERS NAMES AND THEIR GRANDPARENTS NAMES. SO, IT IS STILL A LITTLE EARLY FOR THEM TO BE SAYING NAMES OF PEOPLE THEY DON’T SEE VERY OFTEN. WE ONLY GO TO ONE LIFE TO LIVE A FEW TIMES A MONTH NOW SO THEY DON’T SEE THEM REGULARLY.

We didn’t realize it before sending off the questions, but one of the questions was asked twice, therefore we only have nine for this q&a. Mrs. Sullivan did however include two very cute tidbits.

Anything else you’d like to add?
MOLLY HAS BEEN DOING MORE SCENES LATELY THAN MADDY OR TESS BECAUSE SHE JUST SHOWS MORE INTEREST AND THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN HOLDING BACK ON WANTING TO GO OUT THERE. BUT, EVERYTHING WITH THEM HAPPENS IN PHASES WHERE THEY ARE MORE INDEPENDENT AT TIMES AND THEN MORE ATTACHED TO MOM. SO, NEXT MONTH IT COULD BE THAT MADDY OR TESS ARE MORE INTO THAN MOLLY. I GUESS THAT IS WHY IT IS GOOD THAT THEY CASTED TRIPLETS!

YOU’LL NOTICE THAT IN THE BIRTHDAY PARTY EPISODE MOLLY WAS WALKING AROUND THE SET WHICH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE NOW THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING THINGS ON THEIR OWN AND WALKING AROUND VS. BEING HELD. IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR THE ACTORS I’M SURE BUT THEY ARE ALL GREAT AT KEEPING THE GIRLS HAPPY ON THE SET.

We would like to thank the Sullivan family for participating in the Star-Kidz Christmas Q&A event this year!
