OLTL story shocker! Characters on deadly collision course!
Courtesy/ABC
One Life to Live is pulling out all stops beginning of February with a multi-car collision set-up which features 15 characters during a snowstorm on Llantano Mountain. OLTL’s executive, producer, Frank Valentini promises a massive explosion in the midst of this horror scene as well, “It will be more epic in scale than the plane crash we staged [in 2006] and the impact more far-reaching. It’ll blow everyone’s mind.”
According to the exclusive released today by TV Guide Magazine: You can blame the whole mess on Mitch, who has kidnapped his daughter Jessica and taken her to his mountain hideaway. Ultimately 15 characters end up at the locale with various intentions—to save Jessica, to shoot Mitch, to reveal paternity secrets, to find out the fate of loved ones. Read more on juicy story teasers from this excerpt from TVG!
“Natalie is severely injured and Mitch gives Jessica electro-shock therapy which so warps her brain that she psychologically regresses to her teenage years. In a nutsy twist, a still–delusional Jessica will start a new life as a student at Llanview High! “This will be a chance for the audience to see what Jessica was like before the split personality,” Valentini says. “I think we all have a fantasy of going back to high school and retracing your steps. After a couple of really tough years, this’ll be an exciting second-chance story for Jessica.” And she won’t just be hittin’ the books at school—she’ll also find love there. (Valentini promises there’s no jailbait involved).
OLTL will also use the mountain catastrophe to bump off that demonically evil stripper Stacy Morasco who has become one of the most despised characters in soap history. Word is, her exit involves a fall through the ice and the use of some pretty spectacular effects. Valentini’s keeping mum about it, except to say “Whether you hate Stacy or love to hate her, February is your month. The end is going to be very satisfying for everybody. It’s really kind of delicious.”

Judith Light To Star and Executive Produce New Limited Series Along with Noah Wyle, ‘Shadows in the Vineyard’
Two-time Daytime Emmy and Tony winner, Judith Light (Ex-Karen, One Life to Live) has a major project on the way in which she will not only star, but executive produce. Light will serve as one of the EP’s along with Noah Wyle (Ex-ER) and the two will be part of the cast of Shadows in the Vineyard, which, according to Deadline will be a limited TV series, with a potential spinoff.
Shadows in the Vineyard is based on journalist Maximillian Potter’s bestselling book Shadows in the Vineyard: The True Story of the Plot to Poison The World’s Greatest Wine. Production is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021 in Europe.

Written by John Newman (Get Shorty, Proud Mary), Peter Cambor and Potter, Shadows in the Vineyard is set against the backdrop of the gorgeous, rolling countryside of the Côte-d’Or in Burgundy, France. The series is based on the true story of the outlandish 2010 plot-by-poison extortion scheme, a sinister criminal conspiracy that targeted the most sought-after and expensive wine in the world – the legendary Romanée-Conti.
The Landmark Studio Group will market the series, and one of its executives, David Ozer, who will also serve as another EP on the series shared: “Shadows in the Vineyard is rife with rich characters and a compelling narrative that will take viewers on a twisted tale of both a shocking who-done-it mystery and a journey of self-discovery that will resonate with a global audience, With Maximillian, John, Peter and Sam leading the charge of capturing the heart of the story for the screen, along with the star talents of Judith and Noah and a beautiful location to create the ambience, we have no doubt that this series, which has spinoff potential, will be a hit.”
So, what do you think of Judith’s next project? Comment below.

GH’s Lisa LoCicero On Olivia and Ned’s Kiss During COVID-19: “For Those Asking, That Kiss Was Filmed Before We Broke …”
General Hospital had its triumphant return on Monday with all-new episodes, it’s first since the coronavirus pandemic shut production down.
Since its airing, many viewers took to social media questioning the kiss in the episode between the characters of Ned (Wally Kurth) and Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), when protocols had been put in to place by the ABC daytime drama series, and that it going to have to come up with more creative ways to illustrate intimate moments during the editing of upcoming episodes.

Throughout the day, several soap pundits including Carolyn Hinsey let viewers know that some of the scenes in this week’s GH episodes were actually filmed months ago before the production break including the kissing moment.
On Tuesday, long-running series cast member, Lisa LoCicero took to Twitter to clarify that as well to the fans, tweeting” Happy to be back with new shows! To those asking, the kiss was filmed before we broke..”
What was nice was that it seems with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) back on the canvas, ans trouble brewing in the marriage of Ned and Olivia, that LoCicero may have some meaty material coming her way.
So, glad to hear from Lisa about the kiss in the episode? Do you hope she will be featured more in story coming up? Comment below.

can’t wait for February and particularly the demise of Stacy,and of course Mitch. I hope they don’t keep him on longer than necessary. He is very disturbing. I guess that means the actor is good, except he plays the same character wherever he goes. Can we have some happy story for a change?
you might not like Stacey, but at least the actor is giving a credible performance. you cannot say that about a couple of the other women in the same age bracket who are popular just because their characters are “nice”.
I am so glad Stacy is finally leaving and I hope all her lies are revealed before she leaves so Rex and Gigi can get back together because I am so not liking her with Schuyler.
