Preparation
Mary Beth: We get the scripts a week ahead probably. Stephen is REALLY good about reading ahead, but it depends on my time frame. I'm usually scrambling to memorize and for the emotional thing...usually if it moves me and I pay attention to the scene, that's enough. Sometimes I have to get into a frame of mind, but I don't sit around thinking of tragic incidents...it's more of a frame of mind.
Stephen: I agree...if you know the intention of the scene, you can create exactly what the situation and people mean to you ahead of time, once you're in the situation on stage things work out if you're relaxed and have done your homework.
Mary Beth: When we actually get to tape, if we can just slow it all down and be there for each other it works out pretty well.

No one could ever accuse you two of phoning it in. Your preparation really pays off for the viewer every time!
It amazes me how you can memorize all of those scripts and be so spot on each and every day.
Great job!!
