Back on October 30, Soaps.com gave a hint that a little actress named Stephanie would be taking over the role of Bree, last played by twins Brooke and Kiley Liddell on November 25.

Well, we can now report that Stephanie Schmahl will play an aged Bree, the latest in the Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome saga, and will make her first appearance during the week of December 8, 2008! Stephanie will accompany triplets Tess, Madeline and Molly Sullivan (Baby Chloe) in scenes, while their mother – or so everyone thinks, in reference to the new baby, which is really Starr’s (Kristen Alderson) – Jessica (Bree Williamson) is recovering in St. Ann’s.

Stephanie’s mom got in touch with Soaps.com and recently told us, “This is Stephanie’s first acting job, as a matter of fact, One Life to Live was her first audition!”

Soaps.com wants to welcome Stephanie to the show and congratulate her on her very first role! Way to go!
