As many know yesterday was the first day of production for Prospect Park’s and The Online Network’s rebooted version of One Life to Live. To celebrate fans from Soap Fans United traveled to One Life’s new Connecticut studios to welcome the cast back and to show their love and support!

Erika Slezak (Viki), Melissa Archer (Natalie), Cordin Bleu (Jeffrey), Kelley Missal (Dani), Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Robert Gorrie (Matthew) and Laura Harrier (Destiny) gave the fans who braved the cold weather some donuts and coffee with some lovin’ care! OLTL head writers, Susie Bedsow Horgan and Thom Racina also said “Hello” to the fans in attendance.

Carrying balloons, roses and banners/signs, to welcome their favorite cast members back that they have wished to see once again so much, but they also met some of the newbies to Llanview too! The fans were thrilled and some (as we would all be) emotional chatted and took pictures with the actors during their short break from shooting.

Check out this video from the rally after the jump! Then, let us know what you thought about the show of support from both sides – the fans and the stars!

I am thrilled that OLTL is returning. All fans need to watch and support the online format because if it doesn’t work out, it will truly be the end of Llanview.

I wish i was there but im just as excited as all of them. ( if i was there i wouldve wanted a studio tour…am i greedy!!!) Heard Robin was ill…wish her well! Had a little relapse from my own illness(non life threatening thank goodness) but seeing this video makes me feel real good.

Guest

CTwildheart

We were not even allowed to go to the front door of the building – so tours were out! Trust me, we all would’ve gone! 🙂

Guest

jim

Most likely no set tour for now because they dont want fans to know too much at the moment but it could happen later for some of you. I envy how lucky you got to be this close but i did once got to meet in person the lovely Jill Larson from AMC and Micheal Bruno( i think thats his name) who once appeared on the same show. Had they given me a cup of hot cocoa id had them autographed the cup, thats if i had known and brought a marker to write with, or at least saved it.… Read more »

That was heartwarming. The fans were great waiting in the cold showing their support, and the stars were gracious to bring out food and coffee. I wish I could have been there. The new Destiny is gorgeous!

Guest

So happy Roger Howarth has signed with PP! Todd Manning belongs in Llanview with all his history & longtime connections! 🙂

Guest

Gillian

He’s onlyvthere for four weeks then returns to GH. This video is enough to bring tears to my eyes. After spending three decades with these characters, they feel like family and I’ve missed them so much. I just wish we had word on Michael Easton’s fate as well as Kristen Alderson. I have so much respect for these actors and want the best for them.

Guest

Thank you so very much for posting this video. How I wish I could have been there. It is so great to see my beloved cast again. And, welcome to the new additions. I can’t wait to watch OLTL again.

That was great!

Guest

The whole video was so nice. Thanks to the fans that were able to be out there to express what so many of us feel to the actors of OLTL. And Thank You to the actors who brought out coffee and doughnuts (?) and posed for pictures. It was very sweet of them to take the time to do that.

Now, tell me, what night time show has that kind of interaction between actors and fans? None, I bet. Daytime fans are phenominal!

Guest

Bruce

Im the one who recorded this with my camera 🙂

Guest

You were a recording maniac Bruce! And we’re all SO glad!

Thanks so much for sharing, Bruce! It was like being there, without the chill. 😉

I’m so glad there were people like you there, to show the cast how we feel about them and the show.

Thank you so much.

During all the effort put in by our group (Soap Fans United) and my multiple trips to Stamford to secure permits, etc. (all the Stamford officials were amazingly helpful and congenial) I would never have dared dreamed that we would be received and honored by the cast, writers and production team as we were on 3/18! And the privilege of meeting Erika Slezak…simply beyond belief!

Guest

MBmomof3

Again, much thanks to all involved in making this moment happen & sharing with the masses. Kudos!

Guest

Great to see Erica and few of the cast of OLTL. Looking forward to their new beginnings! Wishing them all the best of luck. It’s very exciting…Yay!..

Guest

Tania

Guest

And a bit later, the writers Thom and Susan also came out to speak with us…and after that Jerry Ver Dorn stopped and chatted with us on his way in to tape! 🙂

Guest

susan M.

Again you are SO LUCKY! They seem like a good bunch of people & friendly!

Guest

MBmomof3

Sweet! I’m more excited than ever!

OLTL cast is truly a class act!

Guest

Tali

Yes they are!

Guest

Emily

The OLTL cast is a sight for sore eyes. So spirited and gracious to the fans. I’m very grateful and impressed and can’t wait to watch:)

Guest

marfawanger

Erika looked very uncomfortable.

Guest

jim

They should try to get Ellen Holly, if she would do it, make guest appearances as Destinys mother/grandmother on OLTL. I Know she played Carla but that was long ago, and it wouldnt be no different than Francescs James returning to AMC as a different character. It would be like a nod to the shows original beginnings.

Guest

OLTLover35

Does anyone know where I could download the mp3 of Kelley Missal (Dani) “Everything I ever learned”
Omg I’d be so happy if someone could tell me

Guest

Liz

This is why we love OLTL. The fans just have to be supportive and make ABC see the big mistake they made in taking this show off the air. I really believe this is going to be a hit. Will be watching everyday that it is on. If Michael Easton doesn’t return perhaps John McBain can be re-cast. Just a thought.

Stacy Keibler to be Inducted Into WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023

March 27, 2023

With Wrestlemania 39 weekend in Los Angeles fast approaching, a fourth inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame has been announced.

As many had predicted, Stacy Keibler will join Rey Mysterio Jr., The Great Muta and Andy Kaufman as the class of 2023. The induction ceremonies take place on Friday night and stream on Peacock beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Keibler (age 43), the now mom of three, was shocked and emotional upon learning she was being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. When speaking with PEOPLE, who broke the news of Kiebler’s induction, Stacy expressed that she found out from an unexpected call from a WWE rep two weeks ago, while she was in her kitchen.

“When she told me, I screamed,” Stacy shared. “Tears were in my eyes, and I was completely overwhelmed with just gratefulness.”

As for how she made her way into pro wrestling, Stacy first made her mark after winning a contest to become a member of the WCW Monday Night Nitro, ‘Nitro Girls’ dance troupe.

A self-admitted long-time wrestling fan, Keibler first made her mark when she became an ‘accountant and manager’ in WCW named ‘Miss Hancock’. When Vince McMahon purchased WCW, Keibler headed to WWE and in 2001 made her debut as part of The Alliance.

Later, Stacy was renamed as ‘The Duchess of Dudlyville” and managed The Dudley Boyz. Still later, she managed Test, Scott Steiner, and then came Rosey and The Hurricane, where she became ‘Super Stacy” along with the superhero duo. Throughout her WWE career, she had shared memorable matches against Torrie Wilson and Sable.

Since exiting the WWE in 2006, Keibler has appeared on numerous TV shows including: competing for the Mirror Ball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars and a guest-spot on How I Met Your Mother.

So, what do you think of Stacy Keibler being named to the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2023? Comment below.
