That's right folks. You're not imagining. Daytime diva Arianne Zuker has been cast to play the contract role of Roxie, a mysterious young woman with connections to an Oakdale vet.

Zuker, who played a mjaor role on DOOL for almost eight years, had been offered so many roles, but when the producers and the writer made her an enticing offer to join the cast of THE WORLD OF OAKDALE, she just couldn't resist.

Zuker will first appear on Feb. 13th.
