STAR-KIDZ EXCLUSIVES

Stephanie portrays “Bree Brennan” on One Life to Live. This month marks her one year anniversary on the show.

1.What have been some of Stephanie’s favorite scenes
to film?
Stephanie’s two favorite scenes are 1.) the first episode she appeared in where she got to throw toys at John Brotherton (Jared) and 2.) When she was suppose to go to the zoo with Erika Slezak (Vicky) and Brian Kerwin (Charlie).

2. Does Stephanie still get to hang out with the Sullivan triplets?
Stephanie taped the Thanksgiving episode with the Sullivan triplets. She was so excited to see them and so was I. They have grown so much and are such loving and trusting babies.

3. How did Stephanie like filming with John Brotherton?
Stephanie adored John Brotherton. She was very upset when she heard he was not coming back. She said she never got to say goodbye to him. Also, I would’ve liked to have thanked him because he was the first one to really show Stephanie what to do. John and Melissa were the first actors Stephanie ever worked with. I truly believe he was the one who made her love what she is doing.

4. How does Stephanie like working with Bree (Jessica)?
Stephanie loves Bree. Bree is wonderful and patient with Stephanie. They really have a great relationship together. Stephanie had to draw a family photo in school and when she came home with the picture it included two moms. When I asked about the two moms she said one is you and one is Bree. In addition to Bree, Stephanie adores Mark Lawson (Brody). Stephanie blushes the minute he walks in the room. Mark is awesome with Stephanie.

5. Has Stephanie ever gotten the chance to hang out with the other kids on/off set?
No, when Stephanie films there are usually no other kids in the studio. On the occasion when she got to film with Eddie Alderson (Matthew) and Austin Williams (Shane) they were very nice to her, however, there is a big age difference between them.

6. Does stephanie miss filming with the sullivan triplets?
Stephanie really misses them. She really felt like their big sister. I miss them and their mom too. It was a lot of fun with all of them.

7. Is there anyone Stephanie would like to get to work with?
Stephanie would love to film with Brett Claywell (Kyle). One time we were in the studio and it was a long day. Stephanie had to wait quite awhile before filming and she was getting antsy. Brett came over like a big kid and started playing with her. He has a lot of energy. I was very grateful to him. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been on set when we have been there and she looks for him all the time.

8. How does Stephanie like working with Melissa Archer?
Stephanie likes working with Melissa. When we were taping the Thanksgiving episode, Melissa was there and Stephanie was sitting on her lap talking to her. The whole cast and crew at OLTL is amazing. They are patient and make her feel right at home. When I tell her she has to go film she gets so excited.

9. How does Stephanie like getting to delvier lines?
Amazingly, Stephanie can memorize her lines right away. I usually explain to her what will be happening in the scene and then read the script to her. She will usually get most of her lines on the first try. However, Stephanie feels that now that she gets to talk on screen her picture should be in the opening credits like everyone else.

10. Has Stephanie done any projects outside of OLTL?
No, OLTL has been the only project Stephanie has done.

We would like to thank the Schmahl family for participating in the Star-Kidz Q&A event!
