Later today, on One Life to Live, Jessica's baby dies during childbirth. It's the shocking beginning to a significant story that will play out for months.

"Jessica goes to the cottage and ends up giving birth alone," Bree Williamson, who plays Jessica (and her alternate personality, Tess, of course) told The New York Daily News. "The baby isn't crying. Tess' last words before Bess comes out are, 'Why aren't you crying?'"

Indeed, look for Jessica to welcome another personality. 

"Bess comes out and wipes up the mess," said Williamson. "And then she calls the hospital and asks if Starr has given birth. She knows that Todd was going to get the doctor to take the baby and tell Starr it died, so she realizes the baby is probably in the office. She sneaks in, switches the babies, and then hides in the closet."

Wait... she stays there with a kidnapped live baby, leaving a deceased one in its place?

"It's supercreepy soap-opera stuff," the actress said.

It sure is. We're so there!
