Monaco & Easton Reunite!
Will John and Sam make it out alive?
Bella and Edward who? Long before the Twilight sweethearts even met, Michael Easton (John, ONE LIFE TO LIVE) and Kelly Monaco (Sam, GENERAL HOSPITAL) played sexy vampire Caleb and his human girlfriend, Livvie, on ABC's PORT CHARLES — and now, the popular pair have been reunited! For the first time in 7 years, Monaco and Easton will share the screen in ABC's final "What If" installment when OLTL's John and GH's Sam get trapped in a burning elevator together. The series finale airs the week of September 1, on www.ABC.com and www.SOAPnet.com.
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.
Tam Brings Markko Back To Llanview!
Markko leaves L.A.
A spokesperson for ONE LIFE TO LIVE confirms that Jason Tam (Markko) will return to the soap on Friday, September 24. After ending his relationship with Langston, Markko left town to attend film school in L.A. The character's departure this past July was written into the storyline to accommodate Tam's participation in The Public Theatre's Shakespeare Lab in New York.
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. Zimmer, who left the role in 1983 to join GUIDING LIGHT as Reva Shayne, will reportedly share screen time with Erika Slezak (Viki), Robin Strasser (Dorian) and former GL co-star Jerry verDorn (Clint). "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.
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.
