I'm not a OLTL watcher these days, but I did notice that Lea Dellaria is now playing a male and a female on there.

Are you folks enjoying her? For the few minutes I watched, I'd say NO.

From Soap Opera Network:

Broadway veteran Charlotte D'Amboise, who first airs as new Llanview High Principal Ms. Dickinson on January 9th. The 44-year-old actress has appeared in a number of Broadway productions, including "Cats," "Carrie," "Chicago," and "Damn Yankees." Other credits include "The Preacher's Wife," "The Kennedy Center Honors," and "Law & Order." D'Amboise has been awarded several awards and honors throughout her career, and was nominated for Tony Awards in 1989 and 2007.

FYI - the most recent principal was Michelle M. Robinson (who also appeared on the Babes Behind Bars musical episode).

Jackie Hoffman was on today. She was the ticket taker at the red ball.

I used to think Tuc Watkins was hysterical. This whole storyline is so far fetched. Now he just irritates me.

In case anyone cares, Jan Maxwell has been on this week for the climax of the Chloe/Hope baby switch, as Nash's birth mother.

I have a copy of Hugh Panaro's CV ca. 1988 and he's got "One Life To Live" listed under "Television Work," along with "The Guiding Light."

I'd probably hurt myself laughing if I saw photos or footage from either.

For a while, Robert S. Woods's Bo had a love interest named Paige Miller who was played by Cady Huffman.

Scott Evans is now dabbling in theatre and he's involved in the story where Nicholas Rodriguez plays the odd man out in daytime TV's first gay male love triangle.

Roger Howarth, who used to play Todd and now plays Paul on AS THE WORLD TURNS, has also done Broadway.

And Patricia Elliot, who won a Tony for the original A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, still airs on OLTL.

AS THE WORLD TURNS and ONE LIFE TO LIVE have the best track records of attracting theatre folk, more so than ALL MY CHILDREN, IIRC.

ETA: Barbara Garrick (of TALES OF THE CITY films fame and several Broadway plays) is also coming back to the show in the near future.

Marc Kudisch was on OLTL the past few days as the priest officiating Jared's funeral. I know he's also been on ATWT and AMC, always popping up at the most unexpected times!
