This is great news, and however it plays out, it’s sure to bring a lot of “eyes” back to OLTO !

TSJ is not one of the most heralded actor to me. If true, where are his Emmys? RH is Todd Manning. Case closed. Even if he never comes back, or plays someone else on OLTL, he created the iconic character.

Trevor St John, one of the most “heralded actors in daytime”…………LMAO!!!!!!!! Really that statement just cracked me up! This is an actor who can’t even get prenomed by his own castmates for an Emmy, who hasn’t even “sniffed” at any daytime awards or acclaim!!!!!! I think this writer has a man crush on TSJ!!!!!!!! RH will be back because OL realizes that they are lacking in the leading man department and they know what a “heralded daytime actor is”……..that is why they have been begging for him to comeback!!!!! Long live Todd Manning!

Trevor St. John one of the most heralded actors in daytime? When, where and on what planet? No disrespect, but if the execution were the only scenes that anyone can mention as being his best work, that doesn’t scream of a hearlded actor by any means. The news that RH is coming back is the best news I’ve heard since Florencia Lozano’s return. This, to me, is OLTL heading in the right direction. On OLTL, Roger Howarth is and always will be… Todd Manning.

I think TSJ has publicly commented that he does not want to be nominated for an Emmy, as his performance is more of an ensemble thing. I don;t understand it but he has his reasons I guess. I think he desrves an Emmy or two. I think TSJ is a great actor. I also liked Roger when he was on. In my opinion, this is proably ABC testing the waters to see if fans are in support of Roger returning to OLTL in some capacity. Obviously, they need more viewers and they are trying to see how best to accomplish… Read more »

It figures you can’t compliment Trevor without him getting bashed by the Roger cult members. Yes to them Roger is the be all, end all of actors. But I really find it funny how they all forget all the stuns Roger pulled when he didn’t like the direction Todd was going. I couldn’t count how many times he left and came back. All because he didn’t like the storyline and where it was going. Yet for the the past 7 years Trevor stayed and did every storyline OLTL gave him. And didn’t take off weather he was unhappy with the… Read more »

I agree that RH is Todd and always will be. Granted TSJ has revamped the Todd role and made it his own….HIS OWN! RH created the character that was only supposed to be a short lived character on OLTL. There is a way. I am a writer and have a perfect storyline for the return of RH! HE can return as Todd Manning and TSJ can be a twin brother of RH….Mitch brainwashed him into thinking he was Todd and he actually believes it. It would be a great storyline….Please come back Roger!!!!

Good God, you bring Roger back, I’d watch again. I have nothing against Trevor, but he’s just not Todd to me. Heck, Roger played Todd faking a bunch of personalities, finding out Trevor St. John’s been faking Todd, not a bad idea. I want Roger as Todd, though, no one else on OLTL. It would definately be fun, and dramatic, funny, and moving all at once to have him back!

IF HE WAS TO COME BACK, I WOULD HAVE HIM BE A NEW PERSON.THAT WAY IF HE DOES NOT LIKE WHAT THEY WRITE FOR HIM THEY CAN SEND HIM PACKING.DO NOT KISS HIS ASS.

Roger Howarth was Todd back in the day but that is the past and this is the present. Saying Trevor is not Todd is an insult to his ABC fans and the genre of daytime. People come and go and Howarth left and St John came. He kept the character of Todd alive. Imagine OLTL w/o Todd Manning and now fans are saying he is not Todd? BS!! He is Todd and always will be. As for Emmy nominations he was nominated for his death scene. One that he should have won hands down. The Emmy process is a bunch… Read more »

please keep the present todd , he looks like the children {starr and danni } and that other todd ,{ Howarth } isn’t reliable. remember he walks when ever he wants.

as a makeup artist who applied that cheek scar to Roger at OLTL, I have a few stories to tell about the actor AND One Life in general in my new tell-all, “Makeup & Misery: Adventures in the Soap Factory.” go to http://www.makeupandmisery.com to order this one-of-a-kind expose of the Soap world!

I really hope Roger is returning to OLTL. Trevor is fine, but the depth, introspection, inner turmoil…great hair… everything that made Todd Manning unique is missing. For now, I’m a casual viewer. Roger + impostor storyline = me glued to the teevee for sure! 🙂

I am a Todd Manning fan, Todd manning is the only reason I watch OLTL.
I loved Roger as Todd and it took awhile to accept TSJ as Todd ,but I absolutely love TSJ as Todd and I dont want Roger to come back as Todd.
I would like to see him come back as a twin of Todds since he has the origional face it could be interesting cause Todd would have to see ths guy walking around with his face, and it would fun to see how the other charaters reaction to him.

marty sagebrooke came across a photo of todd’s fraternity during her episode with amnesia. in that photo was a man who was not represented during the infamous rape storyline. his features were similar to the new todd. it appeared at the time, that the writers were preparing for a phony todd storyline pending on roger howarth’s open door return. did anyone else notice that but me?

hello all i hope all is well. anyway i hope roger comes back as todd manning. it only makes since. because roger as todd has some stuff to take care of. i don’t like this fake todd.

As a fan of As The World Turns, I would love to see Roger Howarth on One Life to Live. I will definitely be a new watcher of One Life to Live due to Terri Colombino and Roger Howarth joining the soap.

I love both Roger & Trevor as Todd, what I love about Roger as Todd Manning is theeviliness in the early years. What I love about Trevor St. John’s acting ability as Todd Manning is his warmth & sense of humor. I cried the day Todd was put to death by Lethal Injection for two murders he never commited. But I was rejoycing when Todd was brought back to life & fully recovered from that horrid ordeal. Truly Trevor St. John did a beautiful job in playing a condemmed man on Death Row. I also commend Roger in his acting… Read more »

Roger returning would be great but the truth is he’s made it clear he doesnt want to return as Todd I very much doubt he will return as another character . I will always love Roger and want him to return to Oltl I know its not going to happen . I actually fooled myself to thinking there was a possiblity but deep in my heart of hearts I know it will never be. I do hope he comes back to soaps I love him as actor . Lets face Oltl is not what it use to be the writing… Read more »

I pray that RH will comeback,but only as Todd.He created such an iconic character for OLTL that him playing anyone else would just be laughable.I would just as rather they leave things the way they are than try to pull of something like that.
Anyway,I wish they would officially confirm OR deny the rumor once and for all,I soooo hate hoping!!

The lack of Roger on my screen is extremely frustrating. I’ve been watching old videos, as well as current episodes. There’s just no comparison. Todd Manning just isn’t Todd Manning anymore. 🙁 I’m kind of terrified he never will be again.

TSJ is very pretty, but Todd he is not. I would love to have Howarth back as the one, the only, Todd Manning. It would certainly get me to tune back into OLTL every day, instead once or twice every couple of months, which is all I watch now. I don’t even care about the ‘shipper aspect of it anymore. TnT, TnB, Tangeline, Tarty…whatever. I just want real Todd back. It might be interesting to have Howarth back in a different role, but to me he’ll just always be Todd–a role that NEVER should have been recast to begin with.… Read more »

I love Trevor St John and accepted him over time as RH’s replacement . He has made a remarkable change to Todd’s character . But I have always missed RH ‘s portrayal of Todd . I got so excited when I saw the episodes with RH’s face as Todd . Please,OLTL bring him back . There is so many interesting ways that the writers could ressurect RH as Todd . I liked the twin brother idea . But what if Todd was captured years after Patrick was captured by the same terrorist group and they come back together . This… Read more »

The new Todd is soooooooooo boring! And he’s a mega pussy! There’s no edge. He can’t touch what Roger brought to the role. The levels of complexed depts that Roger played so effortlessly. RH is the REAL TODD MANNING! Period!

Please find a way to have Roger and Trevor on OLTL . Hmmm there hasnt been a good amnesia story lately. Fingers Crossed . sro

This coming week is going to make it more obvious that Roger is on his way back as Todd. On Friday, OLTL is reliving Todd and Blair’s 1995 wedding episode in it’s entirety. It’s an encore presentation. And that painting of Blair has Trevor’s Todd all worried. I think that we will soon know that Trevor has been Walker Laurence pretending to be Todd and the real Todd, Roger, will be back to come face to face with Trevor. I cannot wait to see the scenes between Roger and Trevor. Talk about a showdown. Things were getting too easy for… Read more »

I just went out and got a VHS tape for the VCR for Friday’s episode. Roger has one of those great smiles, but underneath the smile is a sheep. Roger is 2 or 3 years older tnan Trevor although they were both born in September (13th for Roger and 3rd for Trevor). When it first came out that Todd was Victor Lord’s heir and Todd with the long hair. What boardroom at a newspaper has a long-haired CEO at the head of the table. The Sun does and does he look hot!!!!!!!!!!
Susan

Somehow that wedding picture ended up in Paris…hmmm. I do believe this is the pre-empt to the returh of RH.

Stop teasing us OLTL give us what the majority of the viewers want RODGER HOWARTH!!!!

Malice…..couldn’t agree with you more……Todd= Roger!

so very true truemanning fan. Those who think that TSJ has brought depth to Todd Manning and not Roger, folks go and get yourselves glasses and hearing aids. Roger’s Todd had so much depth and dimension that know one can even compare the two. Roger has Todd “down pat” as the saying goes since he is the one who created this character!!! TSJ is “now” trying to be angry over Dani and Tomas when he walked in and caught Tea and Tomas hugging, I was totally laughing!!!! Put TSJ where he belongs, Walker Lawrence, that is who they brought him… Read more »

Now Frank Valentini, Ron Caravati, Brian Fronns, Anne Sweeney and Robert, STOP all this teasing and starting arguments over Roger and Trevor, who’s coming, who going! Not only is this teasing fans it is down right demeaning. Now if you want to lose both Roger and Trevor Fans, just keep it up and then YOUR RATINGS WILL PLUMMET!! Either crap or get off the freaking pot and tell us what is what! If you don’t know, then just come out and tell us. I will respect that much more than what you guys are doing!

It doen’t matter what Roger does, it is always top notch. When he left OLTL, I stopped watching and followed him on ATWT’s. Even in the pilot “Prey” and I don’t like sci-fi! He is the best of the best and will forward to seeing him anywhere!

A Roger Cult??? Well, there’s a very GOOD reason why there is a Roger cult.. Roger created an iconic role . The writing was superb back then. Not, factured as it is now. Then again how hard is it too write for a buch of teenyboppers. I do like Trevor but he is not Todd Manning. How do you recast a legendary part? You simply can’t because you change the whole personality and dynamic of the character. Days Of Our Lives got away with it because Days has always been a “campy” show. OLTL tried to recast and lost alot… Read more »

Love Roger and love Trevor. would like them both on show/Trevor could pull it off that he was brainwashed somehow to think he is real Todd by perhaps the evil Tomas…

if oltl doesnt make a move soon we will all just stop caring !!! timing is everything… just give us what we want already! ROGER

GRRRRRRR IDK roger is todd bt trevor makes a good todd to but idk twins brainwashed or whatever i want roger back as todd bt whatever happens i have a feeling this is gonna be good 🙂
