At last! The tale of two Todds kicks off this week when Roger Howarth, who originated the role of Todd Manning in 1992, finally returns to Llanview on Friday, May 13 (scar and all). A mystery is brewing and Todd (as played by Trevor St. John) is hiding something. Could it be his secret identity? Fans will recall that St. John's Todd came to town back in 2003 as mysterious Walker Laurence before it was revealed that he was indeed Todd Manning. But who is really Todd? Tune in to find out.

I think it'd be awesome if neither was the real Todd and that the real Todd is actually dead and buried some place.

I think Roger looks pretty hot with that beard

Wow, wouldnt that be a twist! Still pulling for TSJ to be the real Todd. I dont want them to spit on the last 8 years

[dragonflies]

Yeah cause that would be worse than spitting on RH being Todd and that whole history LOL

TSJ was a bad choice for a recast, personally I don't think they should have ever recast at all

[Cheap21]

they never spit on RH's time as Todd. All of that history was preserved with the recast

What in God's name is going on here? I look at this pic and hear Wonder Woman space computer noises.

All I have to say is that if played out 1995 Roger Howarth turns out to be the 'real' Todd, then I'm glad the show is being cancelled.

LOL! Howarth looks as happy to be back as I assumed he would and you can tell that TSJ has gone to his happy place where he sings "It's a Small World After All" to himself to keep from crying. I bet those two are gonna clock a lot of time on the OLTL Leading Man bong before its all over. Fire up boys! The Funyons are on me! LOL!

I heard the closing sting from Quantum Leap!

"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Todd Manning led an elite group of gang rapists into the forest to develop a top-secret project known as Quantum Leap. Pressured to prove his theories or lose reproductive functions, Todd prematurely stepped into the project accelerator, and vanished.

He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own time was maintained through brain-wave transmissions with Keyshawn Riddick, the project observer, who appears in the form of a hologram, that only Todd can see and hear. Trapped in the past, Todd finds himself leaping from one life to live to one life to live, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home."

Ugh, pure suckage of vortex. I hate this!! This makes every character on the show look stupid if they weren't already.

[AlexElizabeth]

There's an audition script that explains the scene. Looks like he's been held as some sort of prisoner for years and is in some sort of catatonic state.

[Soapsuds]

That's pure sh!t.....lol

Any wonder OLTL was canceled??
