One Life to Live Tribute Thread

He the one who penned the scene with Grayson Hall, Anthony George and Nancy Barrett (who were all in separate storylines) bumping into each other and wondering where they had seen the others before. Funny and clever DS in-joke.

In the One Life to Live opening in the above clip, who is the young man whose picture follows Tina, Max, Megan, and Cassie in the second grouping?

[Vee]

I think that's Joey Thrower's Kevin, who bedded Lee Ann.

I've always loved the Peabo Bryson-sung version of the theme song. How adorable was the then-10-year-old Erin Torpey here?

[BKuzak]

Yes she was cute. That was only her second year on the show. She started when she was (a very young looking) nine.

I still love how they didn't age Viki's kids that much. Erin was nine in 1990 but Jessica was suposed to be about five. Erin could have easily passed for seven or eight. not that much of a difference (compared to some.)

Same with Kevin and Joey. Yes they aged especially in the early 1990's but in the 80's, they were played by two young kids for most of the decade and then they aged about five years in 1990. Not that big of a leap. Especially Joey because Chris Mckennen looked young when he first came on in 1990.

That's a good point. Also, most of the time Viki's kids (when there were just the three - Kevin, Joey and Jessica) really seemed united and got along most of the time. That was pretty refreshing, and Kevin Stapleton and Nathan Fillion actually looked enough like each other to really be brothers (kind of like Sean Kanan and Steve Burton on GH).

Marion Seldes, who played Sonya Cramer (mother of Dorian, Addie, and Melinda) on One Life to Live has passed away.

I remember her - so sorry to hear. May she RIP.

Very interesting!!

[BKuzak]

Yea, Joey and Kevin had that one big "breakup" over Kelly in the early 2000's but before that they really did get along very well. I love watching the two little kids on the "Viki Clint love story" because it was always Kevin and Joey together. and unlike a lot of soap children, you actually saw them more than once or twice a year. andn then with Jessica, she was featured more and more every year once Erin took over.

I still think it's so funny when you see Viki's trip to heaven and she sees a "flash foward" of her boys all grown up. they acted exactly like the Quartermaine boys did a few years when they were aged. Kevin was a big drinker and was fighting with Joey about how awful life was.

[amybrickwallace]

They didn't put Kelly into Kevin's orbit until Tim Gibbs played him, right? I always felt that was another case of JFP-propping.
