Noelle married Eric Petterson on August 5, 1990. They have three children; Forrest, Spencer, and Brock.
Noelle: (on her first day on the ATWT set) It was a lot of work. They had me do twenty-two scenes in one day; forty-four pages of dialogue. It was a lot of work and I really learned my lines and was so prepared. Jon [Hensley; Holden] was fantastic and he loves to run lines. We just automatically hit it off and had fun together. Everyone was super welcoming and made my transition feel great.
Noelle: (on why she returned to daytime) Daytime allows me to be the mother I want to be and be able to go to school functions, go to my children's sport games, maybe take them to school, cook dinner.
Noelle: (on taking over the role of Lily on "ATWT") I thought if I went back to Daytime it would be as a character that was loved by the audience, had a lot of history, had a core family. Lily felt really right to me and after speaking with Executive Producer, Chris Goutman and getting his take on the show and the character, it just clicked.
Noelle: (on replacing Martha Byrne on As the World Turns) When I was on Loving, I thought that no one could replace [me as] Trisha. I just thought, 'You know what? I have really put my stamp on this role. And then, when the table were turned, I thought, 'Wow, this has got to be a really difficult thing.'
Noelle: (on pregnancy) I really enjoyed being pregnant the first time. It was a great time in my life. It's a miracle to be pregnant and such an amazing thing to have happen to you. Although there are some physical problems that go along with being pregnant, I felt very comfortable with myself.
Noelle: (on her fondest memory of Christmas) Christmas 1984! I had just gotten the part of Trisha [on Loving] and my first episode aired Christmas Eve day. I was with my family and we all watched together.
