Great news for One Life to Live fans! Kassie DePaiva will be singing again on-screen as Blair Cramer Manning, when the series returns on April 29th.  Yesterday in scenes shot at One Life’s studios in Connecticut,  DePaiva thrilled her cast members when she sang her single “No Regrets” during a pivotal scene!

What we do know is that DePaiva’s character of Blair sang “No Regrets” in an emotional moment at Blair’s nightclub, Shelter, Llanview’s newest hot spot, when things hit a snafu!

As fans of Kassie’s know, “No Regrets,”  is included on DePaiva’s CD of the same name, and now in story features lyrics that are a subtle hint to Todd (Roger Howarth) that she’s not over him.

So the question is, will Blair and Todd somehow find their way back to each other for a moment, only to have something tear them apart in the storyline?

Circle the date of April 29th when brand new 30-minute episodes of  One Life to Live will be launched each weekday and available to stream online in HD (when available) via the free Hulu.com service and to subscribers of Hulu Plus making these venerable dramas available in a new format that suits the viewing habits of the digital generation. In addition, the iTunes Store will offer both series via iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV and Mac or PC.

So excited for the OLTL reboot! It seems the more things change the more they stay the same. Loved when Kassie sang on the show and looking forward to hearing her spill her heart out to Todd once again.

This is so exciting…I can’t wait, all this build up is worrying me a little that it may be a let down. Hope I am wrong about that though.

LOVE Blair and Kassie! I can’t wait to hear her sing on OLTL again!

Ditto!

I love Todd and Carly..
After seeing them together, and their awesome unique love for each other, I can not see Todd being with Blair.. They could never capture the fire of Todd & Carly..

Todd & Carly !!!!

Obviously you’ve never seen Todd and Blair but in a way you have. Scriptwise anyway. All Todd and Cujo scenes were Ron’s rip off of original T&B but with Todd written as Sheckey Manning. Probably found the old scripts.

And whatever that was written on GH it wasn’t Todd Manning. But GH Cujo fans don’t care as long as their girl had ‘Todd.’ And yes HAD because PP owns him and GH can’t even mention the name now.

And as for the ‘fire’ of Tujo — BWWAAAAAH!!

LMAO! Brooke!

I have seen Todd and Blair together and apart and together again same old, since day one..
Todd and Carly are new, refreshing, HOT and unique couple..
Todd has finally broken free and has a love interest that is super for him..
Carly and Todd were made for each other, soap wise.. 🙂

Agree Brook!

Carly is a blair like character so its not new and refreshing loll

Carly new and fresh? Sure, like 3 day old catfish that’s been out in the sun too long.

She’s telling Todd he may be saying Goodbye but that they’ll always love each other. RH may leave but hopefully one day he’ll be back. The same with Michael Easton.

I guess they will only have a moment to find their way back to each other before a giant mouse tears them apart maybe 4ever causing Todd to end up in a 50 year old hospital with a different name and a whole new identity!…LOL!!!

How will people in canada watch?

Do a search for HuLu and VPN …
Then you will know how you can watch HuLu in Canada.. 🙂

ya thats such a pain and a waste for me to find a FREE proxy that works 100% so i can watch a show that would normally be free on tv… prospect park is putting up such a fight over 3 characters ripping the actors from GH and taking away the role of starr manning from the girl who pretty much originated the character and now they make it difficult to watch its basically not worth it…

They own the characters KA does not. PP has been working on showing the shows in Canada!

Nobody knows for sure how and what will actually happen to the 3, the end result as to how all will be handled and dealt with is still a mystery..
Just happy the ”actors” will remain on GH, so far as we know now, but that could change too.

KA was done with Starr Manning when oltl ended and only came back to it because Frank asked her to. She has no rights to the character, PP paid millions of dollars for these 3 characters that GH/ABC tried to fight for. If she wants to work for ABC again it will have to be as a different character.

Oh lord, she’s trying to sing again, my ears are bleeding.

I’m so torn. I mean, I know I’m in the minority, but I really like Todd and Carly. Even if he has to go by a different name, I enjoy the two actor’s onscreen chemistry.
But I AM a Blair and Todd fan as well.

With all that has gone down between them, I wouldn’t mind Blair finding someone else for a little while before rekindling the relationship with Todd. Todd’s at his best when he’s throwing jabs at whomever Blair is with that’s not him. :-p

Blair proclaims to love Tomas, and is engaged and going to marry Tomas ..

your not in the minority, a lot of GH fans love the pairing. now if you ask oltl fan well, thats a whole different story. but i too can’t wait for Roger Howarth to return to GH and create more magic.

He has to return to GH because he’s under contract with them but hopefully when his contract expires he will sign with PP. His family is on the east coast so he’d rather be there anyway. RC really doesn’t know how to write for Todd, RH is too good of an actor to be written as so clown like or to go lusting after someone like any other male lead on soaps. Todd is so much more than that and they’ve hired a writer that wrote for him in his early days and actually has an understanding of the character so hopefully eventually she will be able to write for Todd long term as it should be.

I doubt that Roger Howarth is being forced to complete his contract , if he wants to go to pp I’m sure FV would of let him, so all this crap bout him waiting to finish his contract to then go to pp seems like wishful thinking from certain fans but then again who really knows but Roger anyways. I sure wont believe it from any other source especially if its from ” fans”. So que sera sera! Regardless GH will survive.

I’m so over Todd and Blair. Blair has sung to Todd a million times. This isn’t anything new, just the same merry-go-round. Give Blair a new love interest and let Todd go back to GH.

Love her character but not her singing.

Todd and Carly are the most forced couple and boring as well. When LW is turned side ways when kissing Roger she looks like Kassie. My teenage neices thought it was her in their last scene and where disappointed it wasn’t her. They 2 feel T&C are forced and that he is the town fool. Ron is over doing it with the comedy and not showing Rogers other talents. I hope it’s true that when he returns it will be a different character because Todd belongs in Lanview. Also I’m surprised the GH fans rather have the GH/OLTL3 then keeping some of their own returned past characters. Hope they enjoy all the newbies because of keeping these 3. Beginning April 29th you’ll see want a true and not forced couple is. TnB!!!

Agree jc – Sam & John McBain was also a forced couple. So glad their characters are staying in Llanview and GH ONLY gets the actors.

Prospect Park stop toying around and work out a way to share the characters because it works great for everyone! I am Team Todd and Carly, loved Todd and Blair but been there done that so move on!

I hope Blair is telling Todd goodbye for good. They share children and will always be a part of each other’s lives but Blair has stood enough abuse from Todd as far as I’m concerned. I don’t see how any mother could forgive the man who gave her newborn baby away and told her the baby was dead. Yes, he got the baby back after realizing he was the father but his action was just cruel. Blair has grown as a person over the years and should be over try to reform the bad boy of the century.

Todd & Blair will always belong together. No matter what, Todd belongs in Llanview. Hope Roger ultimately stays with PP & the show where he can play the iconic character he created 20 years ago.

I love gay stories. They should pair up Todd and Felix. We all know Todd was a gang rapist because he was secretly gay. Then they could have a triangle with Milo. He looks really fine when he takes his clothing off. Male/female love stories are way overrated! Then they could bring back Lucas too and have a hot quadrangle. The endgame couple should be Todd and Milo. They could be hotter than Bobbie and Tony were!! Tracy and Ellie should also fall in love. Ellie has to be gay because she doesnt want kids. There just needs to be more gay love because gay love is pure and right. Ratings would rise for sure! Patrick and Felix should go in the shower too.

I pray that your kidding

Looking forward to it! Love her.

I CANNOT wait for the return of OLTL and especially of Todd and Blair. There is an awesome reunion story to be told for these two characters that we weren’t allowed to have at the end of broadcast OLTL. (Yes, I know they ended up together, but there is a much juicier and deeper *story* to be told that wasn’t.) I am hoping for a real reunion for my two favorite characters!

Will OLTL only be shown on the Hulu.com starting 4/29/13? We have cable (not satalite), so I’ll call our cable co. & see if that channel is available. Will the new OLTL ever be on Soapnet.com again? Or just repeats? Thank you,

The fact that there cannot be an article written about only Blair or KDP is a good sign that the character needs to get her own life! Get Blair a new guy and have her actually have a relationship with him. Make the character able to stand on her own outside of her one pairing. Let KDP have some actual fans of HER and not just fans who only like TnB.

agree with you, Jenn. KDP cannot hold on her own. Not to say that she cannot act. Her acting chops is mediocre, at best. Her popularity soley came from riding RH’s coattail no less. Her fans are TB fans and nothing more. Thats why the actress always cries “Todd will always belong with Blair” or something to that extend. Once RH’s Todd leaves, Blair will just be another one bites the dust so to speak.

Tarlyfan. Perfect name. If you’re twelve.

@Margie. Can’t counter someones comment so you’d take personal dig at them?!! Ok. you sound very mature then.

Yeah that why KDP nominated AFTER RH left OLTL….#think before you type

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
