I got a call, and it was a role that really intrigued me, so we got to talking. [Ava] sounds very layered and complicated and seems like there's a lot to sink my teeth into. (Tamara on why she came back to daytime)

WANTED: TAMARA BRAUN
There are a few items Tamara Obscura is currently looking for. Any clips of Tamara's time on GENERAL HOSPITAL. What I'm looking for is HI QUALITY MPEG clips. The reason for the HQ MPEG clips is because I would like to get screencaptures from them. Lesser quality just end up with broken pixels and blurred caps. So, if anyone has any of these of Tamara's tenure from 02 May 2001 - 15 April 2005, please send them in a zip file to WANTED TAMARA BRAUN. If possible, could you please provide the date the clips you're sending were from. It would help in the archiving of them in the gallery.

MAIN ARTICLE
HOW FAR WILL AVA GO? Viewers now know that DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Steve (Stephen Nichols) once cared for Ava. But this week, the demented woman makes a positively stunning move!
The In Depth Story:
"Ava's determined," shares her portrayer, Tamara Braun. "She wants and loves her man. He touched her in a way that no one has ever touched her before... or since." Which explains why this week, Ava vows to nab Kayla and Steve's baby and and raise it as her own!
why does Ava think she can turn back the hands of time and restore the relationship she had with him? "We, as people, live in the moments that were so good, and we want to create them again," explains Braun. "We feel that if we do the right thing, say the right thing, create an environment which might spark memories, those feelings will come back. Ava believes that Patch has forgotten who he really is. And she thinks that if she's with him, she can remind him."
Still, it's hard to ignore the extreme measures Ava has taken because of her unheathly obsession with her ex-fiance. Not only did she kidnap Hope -- mistakenly believing her to be Kayla -- but eve more shocking, Ava then shot the woman! "Ava is jealous and angry," says Braun in what might be the understatement of the year. "Kayla took something that was hers."
Braun loves playing a woman who is so desperate that she'll do anything to achieve her goal. "It's such a wonderful challenge because Ava is all over the place," she admits. "She loves Steve. Ava may say she hates him, but love and hate are tow opposie ends of the spectrum. So the feelings are really deep."
