In between her first two stints on “DOOL” as Ava Vitali, Braun joined the cast of “All My Children” as architect Reese Williams. Reese followed her girlfriend Bianca Montgomery (Eden Riegel) from Paris to Pennsylvania after Bianca had returned to her hometown to share the news of her pregnancy with her family (via Soaps). Soon after arriving in town, Bianca was caught in a tornado and unexpectedly gave birth. Reese rushed to her side, along with Bianca’s older daughter Miranda (Haley Evans), so their family could be together. Reese and Bianca were overcome with emotion over their newborn daughter Gabrielle, who they conceived with the help of a sperm donor, Zach Slater (Thorsten Kaye). Shortly after, Reese proposed to Bianca and she happily accepted. Bianca and Reese, or “Breese” as they were affectionately called by fans, were the first people to portray a same-sex proposal, a legal same-sex marriage, and same-sex parents on daytime television, according to Out. “AMC” was nominated for a GLAAD Award in 2009 in honor of this storyline.
