It will be interesting to see what they do with a character that was last on 27 years ago.

Perhaps they'll do the same thing with her that they did with a twenty-year old character (Lee Halpern) when they brought her back a couple of years ago.

Sounds like Rae Cummings all over again...............again.................again...................again

Sooner, or later she'll find a daughter in Llanview, her mother in Pine Valley, and an old flame in Port Charles...just wait and see.

This show is TOAST!

Press Release?!

Brian Frons says, "In an unprecedented move, Kim Zimmer returns to One Life to Live as Echo DiSavoy. The new Echo returns a food critic and compulsive eater. She will cross over to all four ABC Daytime shows the first week of November Sweeps."

On that Monday, Zimmer appears as herself as a special guest co-host on The View as she and Whoopi interrupt an hour of cooking segments with their show-stealing, food swiping, mouth cramming antics. And don't miss Hot Topics when Whoopi and Joy are outnumbered by Sherri, Elisabeth, and Zimmer on the gay marriage debate.

Echo appears on General Hospital Tuesday. mistaking Claire Walsh for a piece of bacon, Echo follows her into Kelly and orders Mike's famous Chili and Crackers. After the mid-show bumpers, Echo travels to the Metro Court for a cobb salad, Caesar salad, and a beef wellington as she and Cassie Corinthos bump into each other. A loud yelling and stomping match ensues between the two bitches which registers on the Richter Scale and kicks off GH: Earthquake! Not everyone will survive. Before she leaves a trail of scene chewing destruction in her wake, Echo goes to Polluzo's to order Pasta Primavera to go before arriving in Pine Valley.

Wednesday, Echo breezes into All My Children's Krystal's establishment like a wet fart. She sits at the bar, orders a beer, some cheese fries, and a triple bacon stacked cheeseburger with blue cheese dipping sauce. Bianca orders a martini after a long day at Fusion. A conversation ensues between the two women when Bianca tells Echo she's late to her rape survival support group meeting. Echo cries tears of sugar and lard, grabs Bianca by the head, and says she should have been there for her and can't imagine what it must've been like for her to be raped. Bianca exits, freaked out by Echo's self-centered approach to her situation. Before she leaves, she orders two Chocolate Creme Pies to go.

Thursday, Echo finally returns to One Life to Live. A first for daytime television, Echo and Clint have a love scene involving foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, covered in marshmallow sauce and chocolate syrup. Echo eats steak covered in fudge and sprinkles. Jerry Springer is special guest star who narrates the episode appropriately titled, "Echo's Meal Tickets." Says Zimmer of the special love scene, "I get to make Jerry VerDorn's d*ck hard AND I got my eat on! How awesome is that. Where's my chocolate covered Emmy?"

LMAO

I heard they're using a variation of the theme that features only banjos to accompany Zimmer's arrival.

LOL

Maybe she's Rex's birth mother

This show is TOAST!

Zimmer: Did somebody say toast??? where at???????

Echo was a character created by Sam Hall and Henry Slesar. I really think it was Slesar's idea because she had really in common with some creations on Slesar in the Edge of Night such as Molly Sherwood. Kim Zimmer played the role from May to October 1983. She began as Reva on Guiding Light in December.

Here is a brief history of Echo's character:

After being voted woman of the year, Dorian went to a retreat in Arizona in May 1983 where she met a young woman named Echo. Echo, learning that Clint Buchanan lived in Llanview, prepared to head there. Clint was immediately drawn to Echo who reminded him of his first love Giselle and he offered her an assignment on the Banner.

Marco Dane was suspicious of Echo and Giles Morgan, Edwina Lewis’s flame. He was sure they were connected. He was true: Echo and Giles purchased survival and scuba equipment for a mysterious plot. She told Clint she was afraid of the water but was praticsing to swim underwater for great length of time. When she got an assignment in the same flood-torn town where Clint was staying, they shared a kiss and they were stuck in a cabin when a severe storm striked. They were trapped by Dick Grant, a mental patient but were saved. When Dick was taken to the police station, he shouted to Viki that Echo and Clint made love and Clint lyingly denied.

Giles warned Echo they should not forget that Clint took their mother Giselle away from their father. Echo was ready to leave Llanview because she was falling with Clint. Giles convinced her to stay for their revenge plan. Meanwhile, Viki Buchanan said she was ending her marriage with Clint because of his affair with Echo and began investigating Echo and Giles. She flied to Arizona to get information and learned Giselle drowned after falling off a bridge. Meanwhile, Echo attempted to lure Clint to the same bridge claiming she is ready to die for love of him. While there, Clint recalled Giselle : he decided to end their affair but Giselle’s husband threw her off the bridge because she was unfaithful. Dorian and Viki arrived on the bridge as Echo jumped off. Clint was taken to the hospital.

Dorian told the police that Clint killed Echo but Marco and Viki found her alive and brought her back to town. They learned she had amnesia. Giles talked Echo into claiming Clint but Echo found a note written by Giselle stating that her husband was violent. On the stand, Echo regained her memory and admitted she jumped off the bridge because she wanted to revenger her mother’s death. She wrote a letter to Clint about her real love but he refused to read it and Echo left town in early October.

Thanks for posting that!

As for being used if Slezak or Strasser ask for more money, supposedly they both take pay cuts. I know Strasser said she has, and did in her last negotiations.

Strasser and Zimmer happen to be very good friends in real life too. Kim has mentioned her friendship with Strasser a few times.
