CBS.com: What scenes are you going to submit for consideration?
ADRIENNE FRANTZ: I'm not sure which ones I'm going to [submit now]. What I [already submitted] was when Amber was in the hospital room with Rick...and he tells her [the baby's dead]. Then the day after when [Stephanie] comes in and [Amber] was completely depressed and in this little shell and [Stephanie] brought her out. I called [Susan] this morning when I was freaking out and I said, "You know what Susan? I wouldn't be the actress I am today if it wasn't for you. You're my backbone." She's so amazing. She taught me so much over the years. I would suck if it wasn't for Susan.

“I was so happy to see Susan win the Emmy,” Frantz gushes over Susan Flannery´s recognition this year as Outstanding Lead Actress for her portrayal of Stephanie. “Oh my gosh! I mean, she´s my mentor on the show. She´s taught me everything. She´s just really made me believe in myself as an actress. She taught me to trust in my instincts and just go for it: not to listen when someone tells you to do something that you don´t think is right.” In fact, “I didn´t even mind not winning when I saw Susan win. That just made it worth it.”

When asked who of her co-stars has taught her the most Adrienne´s answer was Susan Flannery (Stephanie). She feels that Susan is an amazing actress who have taught her a lot with her ability to play scenes at many levels without going overboard.

"Talk about an Emmy being well deserved and long overdue! When Susan called me the morning the nominations were announced, I just started crying and got so emotional with her. She's my mentor."

She gives so much to every single scene, and she pulls things out of you that you didn't realize that you had. She's just an amazing actress, and I don't think I would have gotten nominated if it wasn't for her because she teaches you how to trust yourself and believe in your instincts and just go for it”.

Q: “Amber's scenes with Stephanie are always terrific. What is it like working with Susan Flannery (Stephanie), and what have you learned from her”?

She has such guts; she's got such an amazing power on-screen. I've learned a lot from her. When she won her Emmy, I thought I was going to have a heart attack, I was so happy for her! I was crying, screaming… I knew she was going to win, I just knew it, and I was so happy for her”.
