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

Stephanie Schmahl has been in the role of “Bree Brennan” for over 2 years now. When she was cast she was new to daytime but quickly showed everyone her talent while taking a part in her on screen mother’s storyline which included a baby swapping/kidnapping storyline.

1. Do you enjoy working on OLTL?

Stephanie loves working at OLTL. She wasn’t called in for a couple of months and she kept asking me when she was going. The whole cast and crew is wonderful and makes her feel very special and comfortable.

2. Is Stephanie able to hang out with the Sullivan girls at all anymore?

Stephanie hasn’t filmed with the Madeline, Molly and Tess in a long time. She loves to watch them on OLTL and see how big they have grown.

3. Is Stephanie excited to get to play a big sister again?

Stephanie is very excited to be a big sister again. She is hoping for a sister.

4. Does Stephanie ever get recognized by OLTL fans?

Stephanie never was recognized by fans. She is very modest and won’t let us tell anyone either. She is very proud of herself, but as she gets older she doesn’t want to be singled out.

5. How does Stephanie like working with Brian Kerwin and Erika Slezak?

Stephanie loves working with both Brain and Erika. Erika is such a great person. She goes out of her way to play with Stephanie.

6. How did Stephanie like getting to work with Austin Williams?

She loves to film with Austin Williams. She recently filmed the Christmas episode with him. Austin is very sweet with Stephanie.

7. What have been Stephanie’s favorite scenes to do this year?

Stephanie favorite scene was the episode where she was in the plane coming home from the ranch with Austin Williams (Shane), Bob Woods (Bo) and Hillary B. Smith (Nora).

8. How does Stephanie prepare for her lines?

Usually, I would read the scene to Stephanie and she would memorize the line by listening. My husband and I will take turns being the characters and Stephanie will say her lines. However, Stephanie is now in 1st grade and quickly learning to read. So when we receive her script she will now read her lines to us.

9. How does Stephanie pass the time backstage in between blocks/scenes?

Stephanie loves going into the hair/makeup room. She will talk to all the actors and just watch them get their makeup done. She will also walk around the studio and visit with anyone that has their dressing room door open. However, for the most part, the crew and actors at OLTL are so prepared and organized that we usually don’t have much waiting time at the studio. Once we arrive, Stephanie is fitted in her outfit and then has her hair done, by this time she is called on set for rehearsal and then filming. It is the very rare occasion that she has to wait to be called on set.

10. How does Stephanie like working with Mark Lawson?

Stephanie adores both Mark Lawson and Bree Williamson. They both will keep her occupied on set and make her feel very comfortable. I have to say that Bree Williamson is a beautiful person both inside and out. Bree will take the time to make sure Stephanie is aware of everything going on and that she is prepared. She treats Stephanie as a six year should be treated. As a parent, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.

We’d like to thank the Schmahl family for participating in the Star-Kidz Holiday Q&A event this year!
