Nathan Fillion Talks His Start On OLTL On ‘The View’ With Whoopi Goldberg
On Thursday’s episode of ABC’s The View, Nathan Fillion visited the show promoting his series, The Rookie. But during the beginning of his conversation with Whoopi Goldberg, he talked about what he learned from his humble beginnings in show business as Joey Buchanan on the beloved One Life to Live.
Of course, OLTL fans recall that Nathan was involved in a romantic storyline with Llanview icon, Robin Strasser (Dorian) and played the on-screen son to another icon, Erika Slezak (Viki).

Fillion shared about this time on One Life: “Everything I did and everything I do I learned on that show. I never speak poorly on daytime … it was such a warm kind place to be. I learned everything there. I don’t know where an actor can go and work with people that have worked in the business for 25, 35, 40 years, and I had no idea what i’m doing …and they said, ‘no problem here is what you do’. So, it was very good people.”
Goldberg also alluded to that she “missed the soaps” meaning All My Children and One Life to Live that shot right where they are in New York City at the ABC studios on 66th and 67th street.
Watch Nathan talk his early career and more with the ladies of The View below. Then, let us know what you think about the sentiments he share from his time at One Life to Live via the comment section.

Y&R’s Thad Luckinbill To Produce ‘Postscript’ The Film Adaptation of Sequel To “P.S. I Love You”
We all know that Thad Luckinbill (Ex-J.T Hellstrom, The Young and the Restless) wears many hats in the entertainment industry. He acts, he writes, he produces, he sings … is there anything that this talented guy doesn’t do?
Now comes word that Luckinbill’s production company (with his brother Trent and Molly Smith), Black Label Media, in conjunction with Alcon Entertainment, has secured the rights to the the novel Postscript and will turn it into a motion picture.
Postscript is the recently released sequel to Cecelia Ahern’s 2004 debut novel, P.S. I Love You. The original movie starred two-time Oscar winner, Hilary Swank as Holly who loses her husband tragically when he dies from a brain tumor. Then, a grieving Holly discovers that her husband has left behind 10 letters designed to help Holly overcome her sorrow and transition to a new life.
According to Deadline, who broke the news of this film deal: In, Postscript (which hit book stores this week in the U.S.) the story picks up Holly seven years after her husband’s death with Holly having peacefully moved on with her life. However, when Holly’s sister asks her to tell the story of the “PS, I Love You” letters on her podcast — she does so reluctantly, not wanting to reopen old wounds. Soon after the episode airs, people start reaching out to Holly, and they all have one thing in common: they’re terminally ill and want to leave their own missives behind for loved ones.”
According to a report here, Swank will reprise her role as Holly in the new movie.
Luckinbill’s Black Label Media recently produced the war movie, 12 Strong in which he co-stared, while he was also one of the producers on the hit movie, La La Land.
Intrigued to see how Postscript turns out? Wish Thad would return as. J. T to Y&R for a another stint? Comment below.

I loved this. What fun! Love spoofs and they did it well. Everyone, take a look…
That was so hilarious, the skits got better and better. Good spoofs, and Brad Bell has a knack for comedic acting. Steph’s “I’ll shoot you” was hilarious. Thorne jumping out of the car, looking through the trash, running w/ the bag and the paper in his mouth, and his shorts falling to show his undies were all hilarious! They need to revive Thorne’s hatred for Donna. He, Felicia and Pam should make Donna’s life hell. The sad part though is that’s the most acting Harmon has done for B&B since Thorne’s engagement to Donna! Instead Bell keeps writing for Katie and Bill, til recently. Bill and Katie are the most annoying couple. No one cares abt these people. Thorne and felicia over these 2! Steffy wresting control of FC was a majorly idiotic storyline even for B&B. Had Thorne and Felicia plot to outmaneuver Katie and Bill by trying to sabotage their marriage, then it’d be more realistic, while Steffy could go after Hope, a Logan she could actually battle instead of Katie and Bill. And Steffy keeps complaining that she’s a Forrester and Hope isn’t when neither is Steffy. Biologically, Steffy is a Marone. Had REST stand for Ridge Eric Stephanie Thorne, it’d be more logical. Thorne and Felicia could force their way into FC making Thorne CEO and Felicia head designer since they are biologically Forresters. That’d be better drama w/ Thorne and Felicia vs. Ridge. B&B’s a mess now since it’s all abt Steffy and her ridiculous feud w/ the Logans! And now they have this Ollie character that captures people having sex on his video phone. How contrived is that? All so Bridget and Aggie could battle for Nick. Felicia should go after Justin or Marcus to drive Donna insane. Since Justin’s a Barber, it should be revealed that he rescued Drucilla and is secretly keeping a comatose Dru in his house, w/c has never been shown on B&B. Have Dru wake up, wrap things up on Y&R for a week, return to B&B, run Jackie M and have a romance w/ Thorne. Brad Bell needs to write for Thorne, Felicia, Pam and Justin, since Aaron D. Spears can actually act. And enough w/ this Steffy, Hope, Oliver, Nick and Aggie crap! They need to ship Thomas and Rick out of the show til they find better recasts. They don’t need Aggie since a Bridget/Nick/Jackie/Owen quad would be better, so they can let her leave town or get killed off. They can kill off Oliver also and they need to table Hope since Matula can’t act, and only let Hope return when they have a better actress and when Sean kanan’s Deacon returns. Those cast cuts can make way for Victoria Rowell’s hefty salary and for more airtime for Thorne, Pam, Felicia and other characters. Also, once ATWT wraps up, they should hire John Hensley as Zack hamilton, Tay’s younger brother who was involved w/ felicia. That way Lesli Kay and JH can still act alongside… Read more »
Michael fairman:
What do you think of my storyline suggestions for B&B?
Do you contribute your opinions on your own boards? You seem to not engage w/ the soap fans that write on your website.
Hola! I was just at the set of B&B this afternoon for the on set celebration for the 23rd anniversary. I will be posting comments from Brad Bell on his thoughts on his storylines, and chats with Ashley Jones, Sarah Brown, Brandon Beemer and Ross Moss.
I think you made some very creative points in regards to what to do with B&B stories and I did Ask Brad about his hilarious spoof from “Undercover Boss” You will enjoy.
I like the comments on the posts on MF On-Air On-Soaps to truly be from the fans and their vantage points and thoughts. Everyone has their take on things and that is what makes posting here and reading them so interesting. But of course, at times, you will find me making posts on here. Keep an eye open as you never know when an MF post may pop up. 🙂
Your website is so detailed, I thought you’d be more interactive w/ your readers. And you don’t seem to have any glaring biases towards actors, EPs, HWs, Daytime heads, or soaps, unlike tvgc’s Branco. So perhaps your opinions on your boards would be more objective and unbiased.
Sadly though Brad Bell seems to be going full steam ahead w/ Steffy/Ollie/Hope since I read his interview w/ ET. He thinks this younger generation is working when it isn’t. He gets a kick outta Hope being a virginal good girl when she’s Brooke’s daughter, while “good” Tay’s daughter is troublesome Steffy. Hello? Brooke and Tay are both slutty. Tay slept thru 3 clans: the Forresters, Marones and Logans!
And Bell mentioned in the ET interview that the show’s a success bec it still centers around the core characters (w/c is correct) and that it still centers around the Forrester vs. Logan feud (what the hell?). The Logans only resurfaced when Gareis was recasted as Donna. And the feud is rather tepid. Steffy is hating on the Logans when Brooke raised her and Steffy isn’t a Forrester. Donna is only there to be humiliated by Pam. Steffy vs. Katie was a joke. The cast is way bloated. Thomas, Rick, Aggie, Ollie, Katie, Bill and Whip need to be shipped off the canvas.
The only time a younger character on B&B really resonated w/ the audience is when Jennifer Finnigan portrayed Bridget. She began really shaky, but quickly improved. And she could really act all the arcs they threw at her from Bridget/Deacon, to baby Hope, to Bridget/Ridge/Brooke! JF ruled the younger set. It’s surprising that she’s been so awful in her acting outside of Daytime since I pegged her as B&B’s Julianne Moore. Her Primetime work on Crossing Jordan, or that crappy sitcom where she portrayed Marnie were bad and worse. She could not even portray herself in that HBO comedy Head Case w/ her man Jonathan Silvermann. And they both were cutesy in an awful way in that Beethoven made for TV movie. Finnigan needs to return to Daytime. She’s a soap actress.
BTW, are the rumors true? Is Adrienne Frantz returning to B&B? That would be terrible. The show has too many actresses. They don’t need Amber, and she’s so annoying. And did you ask Brad Bell if he’ll ever write an lgbtq character for B&B since it’s in LA and in the fashion business?
You should write on your boards regularly since you consisitently update it anyway w/ new entries/articles.
