Buddy Checks Out, Take 2!		OLTL is losing a Buddy.
Remember all that hoopla back in June when Brandon Buddy (Cole, ONE LIFE TO LIVE) tweeted that he had decided not to renew his contract and would be exiting the soap, only to declare the next day that his Twitter account had been hacked? It all seemed very suspicious, at the time. Well, our pals at Daytime Confidential are reporting that Buddy will, in fact, be exiting the show this fall and that the actor was "encouraged" to recant his post earlier this summer. Interestingly, the actor hasn't been very active on Twitter since then. A spokesperson for OLTL reminds that they do not comment on rumors.

Zimmer Finds New LIFE!		There's going to be an Echo in Llanview.
An ABC rep has confirmed four-time Emmy winner Kim Zimmer will return to ONE LIFE TO LIVE as Echo DiSavoy on Friday, October 1.

"I'm resurrecting a character I played nearly 28 years ago. I'm glad I'm still alive to do it!" Zimmer tells Soaps In Depth.

Stone Visits Robin!		No Stone goes unturned for Robin.
GENERAL HOSPITAL's Robin is about to be reunited with her first love, Stone! Michael Sutton will reprise the role for two episodes beginning Tuesday, September 28, when Stone appears to a delirious Robin. According to a GH rep, as Robin's life hangs in jeopardy, Stone gives her the will to live for both herself and daughter Emma. Also expect the former couple to talk about their relationship, finally bringing Robin a sense of closure for both Stone's death and her own HIV-positive status. Sutton left GH in 1995 when Stone tragically died of AIDS -- a storyline which won the soap accolades and garnered the actor an Emmy nomination.

Is Actor Out Before He Airs?		Warlock is returning to an old role!
Late yesterday afternoon, rumors were swirling around the ONE LIFE TO LIVE set that soap hopper Billy Warlock (ex-Blackthorn, AS THE WORLD TURNS; ex-A.J., GENERAL HOSPITAL; ex-Frankie, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) would be leaving the soap as Ross sooner than expected to return to his former role… on GH! Since A.J. is very dead, that seemed hard to believe (although Michael could use him right about now). After a bit more digging, Soaps In Depth has uncovered that the former role he's actually revisiting is Frankie on DAYS. Either way, it puts Warlock, who is due to make his OLTL debut the end of this month, back on the West Coast. As for his replacing Michael Lowry as OLTL's Ross? While the gig was a short-term one, we'll keep you posted on whether this latest development will affect his ABC storyline as soon as we find out more information! UPDATE: A spokesperson for OLTL says that Warlock is still taping as Ross.
