I know that John Loprieno returning to OLTL for the 10,000th episode is old news, but I ran across this little interview with him and thought it was interesting, and that I would share it with everyone...

College instructor revisits daytime soap

Moorpark College theater arts instructor John Loprieno will reprise his role of Cord Roberts on the ABC-Disney's daytime drama "One Life to Live" 10,000th episode scheduled to air on ABC-TV Thurs. and Fri., Aug. 16 and 17.

Loprieno originally played the role of Cord Roberts from 1985 to 1997 and also worked as a staff writer from 2004 to 2006. The writing staff was nominated for a daytime Emmy in 2006.

"I'm really looking forward to bringing Cord back to Llanview," said Loprieno. "It's like putting on an old pair of well-loved jeans. I can't wait to see what they'll have Cord getting into this time."

The last time Cord Roberts returned to "OLTL" for a brief appearance was in 2004.

For the past year, Loprieno has been teaching full-time at Moorpark College, where he also directed "JB" by Archibald MacLeish. This summer he is teaching online and directing the comedy "Scapino!" which will run July 19 through Aug. 5.

ALL: Sexiest men on soaps

How could I have forgotten a young Michael E Knight? I was crazy for him when I was a teen.

Spin-offs only really work when they're not just an extension of the mothership. Early on it just seemed like Port Charles was General Hospital Pt II, so essentially an attempt at a 30 minute extension without directly tagging it onto the mothership (as AW had shown, that experiment didn't end up well). You could argue something like The Bold and the Beautiful is a de facto spin-off from The Young and the Resless, even down to similarish names. But still different enough to be interesting to be separate entities.

A little boring 😂
But I have to say that GH is still the best soap of 2026, so far

I recall reading that, during RKK's first stint on Another World as Sam Fowler, he threw a chair at Sandra Ferguson (Amanda), and that is why Charles Grant's Evan Bates and Amanda started their affair, as she no longer wanted to work with him (RKK, obviously!). Gee, I can't imagine why!
Which makes me disgusted that RKK continued to get roles after s.hit like this.

Well, Rachel was on the show from 1967-1999, a total of 32 years.
Aunt Liz appeared 1964-71, 1974-1986, late 1987-1993, and then for a few months in 1994. If you add up the years in which she appeared, it would be 26.
Ada, was on the canvas from 1967 to 1992, or 25 years.
Those are AW's three longest running characters, and Rachel has Liz and Ada beat.🙂

Yeah, I 110% believe Lisa on this. There's been stories about RKK from both DOOL and Another World. I don't think it's a coincidence he got the boot once Kristian Alfonso got back - she definitively would've had the power to get him fired pronto. It's a shame from a story perspective, because as I said it took away any question who Bo would end up with.
But of course, his abusive ass deserved to get booted. It's just a shame it didn't happen earlier to maybe establish something between Lisa and Peter Reckell before Kristian made her comeback as Hope.

They definitively could play a bit with perspectives on these small sets instead of having the background lead directly out to a balcony (which is never used anyway). Then again, I suspect the reason they do these "box" apartment sets is because they're just easier to redress and re-use which they obviously have to do (ironically, I think Beyond the Gates have the opposite issue where they've done somewhat unique living spaces, but it makes them harder to re-dress for other purposes).

Reading these 1986 summaries, it's hard to believe that Anna has been on for less than a year, and starting off as a bad guy too.
