It’s really that time folks, as One Life to Live prepares to film it’s final weeks of episodes for ABC. Some more Llanview returns for fans to expect now include: Roscoe Born as evil incarnate Mitch Laurence, Jessica Tuck (Megan) and Susan Batten (Luna). Just how they will be utilized is yet to be uncovered They join the already announced Catherine Hickland, Brian Kerwin, Tonya Walker and Fiona Hutchison who all in the coming weeks set to tape shows at OLTL studios in New York.
So who else would you still like to see return? We all know that we want Judith Light as Karen, but there have been conflicting reports that she will not be returning, and some saying they spotted the name “Karen” on a script on Friday. Clearly, it would be the one super-get if it could happen.

Anne Heche in Her Final TV Performance to Air on ‘All Rise’
It is hard to believe that now one year later, television fans will see the final performance of Daytime Emmy winner, Anne Heche (ex-Vicky/Marley, Another World). The talented actress passed away from injuries sustained in a car crash back on August 5th, 2022.
Heche was officially declared ‘brain dead’ on August 12th, when her reps shared that Anne was “peacefully taken off life support.” Before she passed, Anne taped what would be her final TV acting appearance in her recurring role on the legal drama, All Rise.
The series formerly with CBS and now airing on OWN, will air Heche’s last performance this Saturday, September 30th at 9pm ET/8 pm CT. On All Rise, Heche plays lawyer Corrine Cuthbert. Since season 2, Heche has taken on the recurring role. She appeared in six episodes.

In story, Corrine has had a fraught professional relationship with Judge Lola Carmichael played by Simone Missick. For her final appearance, Heche’s Corrine shows up as part of a trial case.
All Rise dedicated the episode to Heche. As the hour comes to its conclusion, they express: “In Memory of Anne Heche, Our Friend and Wonderful Artist. You Are Missed.”
After this, Heche will star posthumously in the independent movie feature Wildfire: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse, slated for release in November.

Y&R’s Jess Walton On Why Mamie Irks Jill As Feud Reignites: “It’s Mamie’s Arrogance and How Much She Enjoyed Stepping on Jill’s Toes All These Years”
On recent episodes of The Young and the Restless, viewers learned that Mamie Johnson (Veronica Redd) is back and is actually the new secret investor in Chancellor-Winters.
Mamie told Nate (Sean Dominic) that she is looking forward to watching Jill’s (Jess Walton) head explode when it is finally revealed. Those remarks date back to Jill and Mamie’s longstanding feud and history; when Mamie was the Abbott family housekeeper, and both women had relationships with the late John Abbott (Jerry Douglas).
This current story will feature Jess Walton in an arc that pits her against Veronica Redd, and should delight longtime Y&R viewers who have loved the often catty remarks and fireworks between Jill and Mamie.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Jess Walton spoke about why Jill has such an issue with Mamie. The Daytime Emmy-winning star expressed, “It’s Mamie’s arrogance and how much she enjoyed stepping on Jill’s toes all of these years. Mamie had always been judging Jill who in turn just hated the influence Mamie had with John. When Jill was married to him, she never felt welcome in her own home.”

Walton went on to say on this new storyline development: “As far as she (Jill) is concerned that disrespect is continuing because Mamie bought into Chancellor-Winters without letting Jill know.”
Y&R fans can look forward to more of Jess on-screen in the next few months as she informed SOD, she will be taping scenes in October and November on the top-rated soap opera.

When all is said and done, Jess shared that her Genoa City alter-ego is very clear on just how Mamie gets under her skin: “Mamie was always so damn sanctimonious and hollier-than-thou and that always pissed Jill off. Mamie still knows how to really push Jill’s buttons.”
Check out the flashback scenes below featuring Veronica Redd and Jess Walton that were part of this week’s episodes of Y&R; where Mamie is revealed to be a now major investor in Chancellor-Winters.
Now let us know, are you looking forward to seeing the sparks fly between Jill and Mamie in the coming weeks? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Apparanltly Judith Light forgot where she came from.
Really want Dorian back for the ending and Trevor St. John. Would also like to see RJ with Lindsey!
I am totally with you about TSJ and RS
Yeah what is up with Judith Light??? But i’m glad Luna, Alex, Gabrielle and Lindsey are back! Hope a lot of them follow to Prospect Park!
Waiting for Joe Lando to make it back. Any news on that?????
Would love to see Larry W. return. That was Vicki’s brother in law. That would be really nice to see him again. The Doctor.
Not thrilled about Mitch……he gets more rediculous every time he returns. I loved Megan and Luna. They were 2 of my all time faves. Megan’s death was a huge story at my college campus. Hundreds of people gathered in the Union and we all watched together. It was amazing.
Well there is no true finally without Robin Strasser as Dorian Lord! Now come on!!! Especially with Mitch Lawrence back!!
I am very excited so far about some favorites coming back. I hope many others will also make an apprearance like Max, Jake, Wanda, Larry, Deliah, Rafe, Karen, Kevin, Cassie, and Herb. And please, please, please Robin Strasser as Dorian. It will not be the same to see OLTL leave the airwaves without this diva of all divas. Give her four scenes to do. She has devoted 30 years of exceptional work to this genre.
What about Max? James DePaiva?
I want Marty and Patrick to return. OLTL really needs to fix the damage they did to Marty.
what about Oliver Fish ? And Stacey’s baby? Let’s get some info on them… You’d think Marcy would be visiting them., but most of all, Karen Wolak should come and visit Vicki.
I want Joe Lando / Jake to return, especially with Jessica Tuck / Megan back.
Really? More dead people? I would love to see the Woleks and Craigs return but it seems silly now as for 20-plus years no one on the OLTL staff seemed to care. So lighten up on Judith Light everybody.
I have only read good things spoken about her time on OLTL from interviews with Judith Light. She doesn’t seem like a snob at all. I don’t think she is turning her back….I think it is more they don’t have a story for her. She hasn’t been mentioned in 20 years.
I want Dorian!!!! I want Max!!! I would also love to see Larry Wolek & Ed Hall come back. Most of all, I wish that Marco (RIP, Gerald Anthony) could come back.
Hey what about having Bobby Blue (Blair Underwood’s breakout roll) come back as a judge or something? Just a thought.
Seriously Prospect Park needs to sign Robin Strasser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She wants to do it too!!!!! Also want MAX HOLDEN BACK!!!! HELLOOOOOO! He is a legacy character too! Thrilled about Tina, Gabrielle and Megan! Though! But why is it we never see Megan with her very close sister Sarah Gordon in heaven?!?!?! Make it happen Ron!
Just give me Trevor St John and Robin Strasser, please!!!!!!!!
Would love to see Joe Lando. Since I have never had an opportunity to watch soap operas in the past, I would make a point of watching if Joe Lando returned.
He is such a talented actor and so handsome. Would be FANtastic.
If they’re going to bring Mitch Laurence back, then why not bring back one of the best villains in OLTL history….Carlo Hesser, especially since we have Tina and Cord back on the show. Would love to see them mix it up before the finale.
i got nothing…everyones said it one way or another
I an thrilled Mitch is coming back! He is and always will be the best villain in soap opera history! Having Mitch (Roscoe Born) on the show is a breath of fresh air. They seriously need to give Roscoe a four year contract. It’s sad that Roscoe only stay’s for three month stint’s.
