Here are the Brady cousins (and Max, their uncle), sitting at the table, celebrating Bo's birthday. Clockwise from top: Jeannie {Emily} (in high chair), Eric {Bradley Hallock}, Sami {Christina Wagoner}, Max {Ryan Brennan}, Andrew {Bradley Pierce}, Shawn Douglas {Scott Groff} and Stephanie {Amanda and Jessica Gunnarson-in Kayla's arms}

Kayla asked who had spilled on the table. All of the kids pointed at Jeannie {Emily} and said, "Jeannie did it." Kayla sympathized with Jeannie. It was always the youngest who got in trouble. Although Kayla wasn't the youngest, she was the youngest girl in her family.

Shawn pulled out an old trick: his spill cup. He had apparently used it with Roman, Kim, Kayla and Bo as well. As he "drank" his milk, it ran down the front of him and all the kids laughed. Emily as Jeannie

Kim arrived in the middle of the party. She was very excited to see her little girl {Emily}.

Kim asked Jeannie {Emily} if she had missed her. Bo, in a little girl voice said, "No way mama."

Jeannie {Emily} started to fuss as Kim swung around quickly to talk to the rest of the family. Patsy immediately started rocking her and she stopped.

Kim talked with Bo and asked how her "favorite little brother" was doing. Emily as Jeannie

Jeannie {Alicia} was stuck in the middle of a hostage situation when Cal kidnapped Kim and Jeannie, wanting them for himself. He thought he was Jeannie's father. These pictures were after they were rescued. Kim was enjoying time just playing with her daughter.

Emily and Alicia {seen here} began their showbiz career in 1990. Their mom was walking through the mall in Riverside, Ca.. A lady approached her and she went to her agent, Mary Grady Agency. They were booked for Days, sight unseen. Emily appeared in most of the scenes, since Alicia would not go to strangers much. Their only other showbiz work was an ad for Hardee's fried chicken. They also appeared in a few pageants.

John and Marlena arrived and Kim said, "Bravo!" to John, thanking him for helping to rescue her and Jeannie {Alicia} .

Kim still referred to John as her big brother, even though it had just been proven that he wasn't Roman. John and Roman had worked together to disarm Cal and save their sister. Alicia as Jeannie

Emily studied Patsy as she spoke to Drake and the rest of the family.

Get a feeling the girls aren't happy? Here they are at the 1991 Days anniversary party with their onscreen grandfather, Frank Parker. Good thing he's not crying too! In reality, they only cried for a moment. Frank was such a trooper! {Emily on left, Alicia on right} {courtesy of Stacy Krugman}

Emily and Alicia were part of a very rare picture. All of the Brady cousins were gathered together for a picture for the 1992 Days Calendar. Top: Scott Groff {Shawn Douglas}; middle row (l to r): Bradley Hallock {Eric} holding Emily Pillatzke, Bradley Pierce {Andrew}, Ryan Brennan {Max} holding Alicia Pillatzke; front row: Christina Waggoner {Sami} holding Amanda Gunnarson (on left) and Jessica Gunnarson (on right) {Stephanie}.

Before moving to Los Angeles, Stephanie {Amanda and Jessica Gunnarson} and Kayla {Mary Beth Evans} visited Kim {Patsy Pease}, Andrew and Jeannie {Emily}, who already lived there. Here they are on the plane.

Kim comforts a nervous Andrew before the take-off. Jeannie's {Emily} too young to be scared.

Kim and Jeannie {Emily} ready for the plane ride.

Jeannie {Emily} always wore a headband. She was more than a year old and still totally bald. It was slipping off in this scene and it became more like a halo.

Kim got busy chatting while trying to feed Jeannie {Emily} her bottle. Jeannie's mouth was wide open, but the bottle just wasn't hitting it. Finally she got a hold of it.

Andrew was nervous with good reason. The plane hit turbulence in the air and the ride got very bumpy. Both Kayla and Kim comforted their girls during the ordeal. Andrew thought it was cool. {Emily as Jeannie}

Jeannie {Emily} and Stephanie could have been twins. They were very close in age. Of course there were actually four babies used just to be these two onscreen.

We got an update on the girls in October 2003. They are 13 and now in 8th grade. Emily is in ballet, while Alicia is a cheerleader. Emily happened upon our site when she was searching the net at school one day. {pic courtesy the Pillatzke family}

The girls {Emily, right and Alicia, left} now live in Texas. They are seen here with their cousin. The girls also have two brothers. Bryan is 22 and David is 15. {pics courtesy the Pillatzke family}

Emily and Alicia are busy girls. Alicia was the homecoming queen her junior year. Emily spent time at a dog show in 2006. {pics courtesy the Pillatzke family}
