On last night’s OLTL Finale Special – After the Show with Michael Fairman, Michael announced the results of our final poll for One Life to Live.  And that was, “What Character You Will You Miss the Most?” And, as expected the majority voted for Victoria Lord Lord Riley Burke Buchanan Buchanan Carpenter Davidson Banks, played by Erika Slezak.  Viki received 29% of the votes!

The runner-up was Natalie Buchanan played by Melissa Archer, followed-by (in third), Victor Jr. played by Trevor St. John. Fourth place in the voting went to Tea played by Florencia Lozano, and fifth place went to Todd played by Roger Howarth.  Take note that there were only a few vote difference in these spots, and very close.

Most notable was also the comments from fans in the write-in option who informed us that it is impossible to choose since all the characters of Llanview will be missed the most! Ain’t that the truth!

Let us know what you think of the top five picks as voted on by the fans of On-Air On-Soaps and OLTL?

Really for me since Brandon Buddy left OLTL , the show lacked something really SPECIAL. The canvace was never the same without the cutest couple being together on daytime tv.
Thought it was so sad when he couldn’t return, and of course this second time after really showing interest.
I just wish ALL of them the best.

To me Vicki personified OLTL…when I thought of OLTL I thought of Vicki first. And Erika Slezak played her with poise and dignity for many years. What a wonderful actress playing a wonderful character. She and the show will be greatly missed!

To all My children and One Life To live…… You have been there for me in the good times and in the bad. I worked my jobs around your time slot and when I had no choice I had my Lunch along with all of us that loves you from the heart. All the while it was being recorded on my TV. We have long conversations in the Brake rooms and on the cashier lines. With our co workers and our customers. We cried we laughed and sometimes Shouted You Bastards! to the Villains and mostly when The News would… Read more »

It is a great list. It was too hard to pick one. I would have liked to see Robin Strasser and Tuc Watkins on the list..

Viki will definitely be missed! I can only hope the Bucannons move to Port Charles too – why not, they fit in with the Quartermaines and afterall, Todd is going! Hoping they all do! Hope they take over Port Charles! I am going to miss them so much but very thankful we are at least getting a few of them – it’s better than nothing! OLTL is just my all time favorite Soap! So in love with OLTL and will never stop!

Well I will miss Viki and the rest of cast especially Natalie, Nora, Bo and Dorian. These are the few characters that stayed consistent which is what I loved. It feels really horrible and there is indeed a loss I feel today, which I wasn’t expecting as much or soon. I think our ES/Viki summed it up quite nicely so these stories /characters/actors have come to be a part of our everyday lives….. So yes there is a big void from losing so many people. My only hope is OLTL can still be saved. I only say that because with… Read more »

I just can’t pick one character. I will miss Bo so very much. He was not always given a lot of action, but he has so much heart. I thought Robert S. Woods gave the best performance of anyone on the last show. And if it wasn’t really a performance, if it was all coming naturally from the heart, so much the better. Tuc Watkins’ David was a delight. I will miss the character Brody. Besides being very good looking, when he was mentally fit he was just a good guy. Really it’s the interactions between the characters that makes… Read more »

Trevor I think you did Todd the best!! You had the moves, facial expressions and I just think you played it perfect. I know the long die hard fans watched Roger back and he’s okay but he is certainly no Trevor St. John. Thank you for all the years you played such a wonderful Todd

OLTL Alum Tuc Watkins Opens Up On His Sobriety and the Importance of Camaraderie

He made his mark to soap opera fans as David Vickers on One Life to Live (1994-1996, 2001-2013) and as Bob on Desperate Housewives (2007-2012), since then Tuc Watkins has been featured and starred in numerous television, motion pictures and stage roles.

Most recently, Watkins starred opposite Neil Patrick Harris in the Netflix streaming series Uncoupled, the film and stage adaptation of Boys in the Band, and recently on stage in the AIDS-based drama, The Inheritance.

Tuc, who came out on The Marie Osmond Show back in 2013, is the father of twins via surrogacy, and is currently in a relationship with film, TV and stage actor, Andrew Rannells.  Earlier in his career, many warned Watkins that it could be detrimental to him, if he played gay roles.  However, in the years that have followed, Tuc has proved them wrong taking on some of the most prominent LGBTQ roles out there and earning critical praise for his performances.

A few months ago, in March, Tuc took to his Instagram account to share a before and after photo of him 4 years before he got sober, and 4 years after he got sober with a heartfelt and inspiring message.

Watkins expressed: “If your drinking is making you uncomfortable, tell a sober person. Any sober person. That’s what I did. I don’t remember what I said to him that day. And I don’t remember what he said to me. But I remember the way he made me feel. He made me feel like I was going to be okay. It was the last day I drank. October 28, 2018. I got sober because alcohol was ruining my life. I stay sober because my life got better. #sobriety #recovery”

A post shared by Tuc Watkins (@tucwatkins)

In a new article on Watkins from Queerty, EastSiders creator and star, Kit Williamson delivered a statement to the LGBTQ outlet about his experience working with Tuc and his consistent support for other gay artists.

Kit shared: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tuc three times now. On the third season of EastSiders, my new series Unconventional, and the indie film Retake. Tuc is a star in the literal sense of the word, shining light on and lifting up the people around him, and he is as talented and funny as he is dashing and kind.  I was a fan of his before I became a friend, and I have seen firsthand how committed he is to supporting other queer artists and making art that matters.”

As pride month approaches in just a weeks time, Watkins shared on Queerty’s coverage on his Instagram: “Thank you @Queerty for elevating the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️‍🌈 For highlighting the differences in our backgrounds, identities, and experiences, all through the lens of camaraderie.”

Kelly Clarkson Opens Up on Moving Her Talk Show to New York City: “It’s Either I’m Not Going to be Able to Continue the Show or I Gotta Go East Coast”

Kelly Clarkson told producers of her daytime talk show back in January that she has to head to the east coast starting in the fall, or there wouldn’t be any show to come back to.

In an interview promoting her upcoming new album Chemistry, Clarkson spoke to Nancy O’Dell for the TalkShopLive series.

During the conversation she shared a few more details on what led to this move.  Kelly shared how she spoke to the execs at her show and at NBC, relating, ‘Guys, I need you to know what’s happening. It’s either I’m not going to be able to continue the show or I gotta go East Coast.”

Elaborating further, the Grammy Award-winning singer shared: “Covid, pointed out (that) being isolated and so far from your family, that’s not good for anyone.  My family is East Coast, they’re North Carolina based. So, it was one of those things where I just had to … and also there was a lot of personal things going on, too.”  Those personal things include her recent divorce from Brandon Blackstock back in the summer of 2022, raising her kids and more.

Kelly went on to say that the move to the Big Apple was all her idea, citing, “It as 100 percent my idea and it was really cool that NBC backed me because I was like, ‘Y’all, I love doing this show. I really do. I didn’t even know I would but I gotta make a change for me and my family. Any chance we could do this? I know we can’t do this from my ranch so any chance we could do it in New York … it’s at least closer to my family … that was really the main reason.”

During the chat with O’Dell, Clarkson admitted she is not really into pursuing motion picture and TV roles in Los Angeles anyway, but she does enjoy the stage and when in New York she is closer to the theatre. The Daytime Emmy Award winner also noted that she is working on various other projects.  Might we see Kelly on Broadway in 2024 or 2025? Stay tuned.

Clarkson’s show recently came under fire earlier this month when former and current employees claimed that it fosters a toxic work environment, something Kelly pledges she will make sure in the future that people that work for her show won’t ever feel that way again.

The talk show host addressed the allegations a few weeks ago, and noted changes are coming behind the scenes.  Kelly expressed, “Part of that build will include leadership training for all of the senior staff, including myself. There is always room to grow and ensure we are all being/becoming the best versions of ourselves in any business, especially when it comes to leadership. To ensure that any notion of toxicity is eradicated.”

So, what do you think about Kelly’s move to New York to be closer to her family, Broadway and more? Will the show have a different feel to it next season? Comment below.
