“Sarah Brown is a sweetie to work with. She's a good actress. She's gutsy and she comes in and she knows her lines. She's just terrific. Sometimes I forget how young she is, because she truly walked right in and took the territory and was able to hold her own with people who've been here for so many years. To be able to pull that off [for someone who had never been on a show], I really give the woman a lot of credit. She's done great.” PeopleKnowsGivingYearsSometimesDoneShowsAbleYoungLinesForgetCreditActressesBrownTerritoryTerrific Author:Jacklyn Zeman

“People never sing...except in the bathroom. Birthing women also make their natural sounds next to running bath water. There is something about the power of water.

“When you are in hard labor, remember that the length of labor is usually proportional to the number of people around. Avoid the presence of anybody who might release adrenaline.
