Will Patrick Thornhart return to OLTL to whisk away Marty Saybrooke?

© JPI Studios

There is a very interesting item out today from Soap Opera Digest that alludes to the possibility of the character of Patrick Thornhart returning to Llanview to help the exiting Marty Saybrooke off the One Life to Live canvas! Apparently, a casting call has been issued for a day player to portray a  “Thorsten Kaye Body Double” with “long hair.”

So, will fans finally get to see two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Susan Haskell (Marty)  be with her one-true love Patrick, played by her real-life hubby, Thorsten Kaye (Ex-Patrick)? Or, is this “double” just some fantasy figure, if Marty were to descend into total madness once the truth comes out that she switched Natalie’s paternity test, and Liam is actually John’s?

How would you like to see Susan Haskell’s stay in Llanview come to its conclusion? Let us know!

I wish to Heaven that ABC would reverse its decision & keep Susan Haskell on the air as Marty on OLTL!

Me too ! Brian …Me too !

i wish they would just tie it all in and allow him to come back. Its almost like the show is tying up all is loose ends.

No way girlfriend!!! LOL

To tell you the truth -I’m really bummed that they let Susan go.
With Roger coming back to the show- I along with many fans I’m sure, were looking forward to scenes between them .( I’m sure he is the REAL Todd).
Feeling kinda ripped off on THAT one.
I always felt the the night he stayed with Marty and they had a long talk- just touched the surface of how he really felt about her.
I would have wanted Todd to completely fess up (under the right circumstance) that he really had loved her and how very ,very sorry he truly was for all that he had done.I love a torchered Todd -what can I say.
Oh well c’est la vie !!
But the idea of Marty going off the rails (and back to St.Anne’s) because she thinks she’s ‘seeing’ Patrick..is appealing.
But …FOR GOD’S SAKE writers DON’T leave her languishing there forever…there IS still Todd/Marty stuff to be played out -they have a history and a future via little Hope (how appropriately named -considering their past)…..And maybe a real Marty/Patrick reunion too.!!

Hello everyone. I am a 47 year old white male. I loves OLTL. To be totally honest with you all,,, I never wanted Marty (Susan Haskell) with Todd Manning. Marty needs to be put back in St. Ann’s for a long time. I would love to see Natalie & John get back together and get married. Now,,,Roxy is the love of my life, Wink, wink. Echo needs to get off the show along with Charlie. I think we all would like the old Todd to come back. What ever happen to Antiono??? He need to get back with Jessica. Also would love to see Cole get out of jail and get married to Star Manning (Kristen). Hey, I heard that OLTL is being cancled for good. Can some one Please tell me how true this is??? I pray that it is not true. Here is my email address: pth7957@aol.com – GOD I LOVE DAYTIME !!!

I would love to see Patrick come back along with Cole.This could make for some good storylines. Get rid of the Fords and bring Patrick back. Really want to see Cole back. How can they get rid of Marty and keep the Fords?

P.S. Just thinking …Send Marty to St.Anne’s,
Upon Todd’s return he finds out she is there and where-ever it is he has been all this time he knows that Patrick is in fact alive.
The only thing …act of kindness/love Todd can bestow on Marty is to give her back the man she truly loved -Patrick.
Todd will ALWAYS be Todd -dark ,messed up ,but this would be a good send off for Marty and a decent finality to the Todd/Marty saga.
GOD I LOVE DAYTIME !!!

What ya think folks ??

You should write for the show. That is a great storyline.

great idea!!! i would LOVE to see that……………..

@ David and Ethel ….oh how I would LOVE to write for the show…sign me up.
I’m just an amateur -but I have heart and passion.
I always loved RH ‘s portrayal of Todd and Susan /Marty…Todd/Starr,Todd/Tea ,Todd and Vicki.

As I’ve said -I love a torchered Todd- and I think he always will be.
He is a multi-layered character,he has to be MORE than Todd the rapist…Todd the monster.
Much would have happened to him in the last eight years that would have a dramatic effect on him.
I can’t wait to see this unfold -but yes I wish I was writing for OLTL.

TODD HAS A TWIN WITH THE OLD TODD. THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO 201 WITH COLIN AND TROY. TWIN BROTHERS AND DIFFERENT BEHAVIORS. TAKE COLIN FIRST. HE IS VIOLENT AND HE DOES HAD A SHRINE TO NORA AND KEPT HER CAPTIVE. HE DID SAVED HER LIFE FROM THE TRAIN WRECK. TROY IS A SWEET CHARMING LOVING MAN WHO ALWAYS LOVED NORA. HE ASKED A HAND IN MARRIGE. BUT LATER HE DID SOME BAD DEEDS. HE KILLED HAS LATE WIFE JOANA. HE TOOK LIDNSEY, JESSICA AND NATALIE. HE DID TOOK LINDSEY AND JEN TO A SECRET ROOM WHERE NO ONE CAN FIND THEM. I REMEMBER WHEN JESSICA AND NATALIE FOUND OUT THEY ARE TWIN SISTERS. IT WASN’T PEACHES AND CREAM AT FIRST. THEY WERE AT EACH OTHER THROATS AND FIGHTING OVER THEIR BOYFRIEND SETH.THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN NATALIE AND JESSICA. JESSICA CAN NEVER DO WRONG. NATALIE DOES SHE LIES AND SCHEMES AND BEING SELFISH. NATALIE THINKS SHE OWNS THE MEN IN HER LIFE STARTING WITH SETH, CRISTIAN AND JOHN. SHE GETS ANNOYED WHEN SHE SEE’S MARTY OR KELLY WITH JOHN. JEN WITH CRISTIAN AND JESSICA WITH SETH. SHE WENT AFTER BRODY. WHO IS NEXT WILL OR ANTIONO?

I THINK NATALIE SHOULD GO TO ST ANN’S. SHE NEEDS HELP WITH HER BEHAVIOR. SHE THINKS SHE OWNS THE MEN IN HER LIFE. SHE RUINS LIVES. JESSICA, JEN, EVAGELINE, MARTY AND KELLY. OH I ALMOST FORGOT. HER BROTHER JOEY. SHE CAN’T STAND SEEING KELLY WITH HER BROTHER. NATALIE DAMAGED THEIR FRIENDSHIP. NOW I THINK NATALIE IS GOING TO DAMAGED JESSICA’S FRIENDSHIP WITH MARTY.

I HATE SEEING SUSAN HASKELL GO SAME WITH BRAIN KERWIN. I LOVE THEM. TO BAD CHARLIE AND VIKI CAN’T WORK THINGS OUT AND FORGIVE HIM. MAYBE MARTY SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN ST ANN’S. UNTIL SHE IS READY TO MOVE WITH HER LIFE. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT COLE AND LOSING HER BABY. SHE ALSO LOST PATRICK. MARTY GOING AFTER KELLY. I DON’T THINK JESSICA WOULD FORGIVE MARTY FOR HURTING KELLY. I BET SHE WON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENED TO NATALIE.

MAYBE ECHO SHOULD GO TO ST ANN’S FOR HELP. NOT ONLY SHE GAVE UP REX WHILE HE WAS A BABY. SHE RUINED TOW MARRIGES. CLINT AND VIKI AND NOW CHARLIE AND VIKI. I THINK ROXY IS WAY BETTER THAN ECHO. ROXY DID LIE A LITTLE AND SCHEMED. I HAVEN’T SEEN HER A WHILE. SHE HAS NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH SHANE.

ok, let’s not lose sight of what this article is about ladies and gent…. the beautiful and talented Thorsten, hhhhhoooooootttttt

Let’s not lose sight of the true gist of this article — Mr. Kaye’s ego.

JuneBug , he stood up said no. Ego, nah..he believes in the principal of the thing.
I’d of done the same thing. It was insult to injury to Susan.

We would like to see Marty and Patrick settled down in Ireland….after highlighting their voyage from the beginning.

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.
