One Life to Live Tribute Thread

Andie Harrison. You may remember the early '90s version of her (I generally preferred her, although that isn't saying a ton).

Thanks.  I had never heard of her, so I had to check and found this:

Absolutely nothing in that soapcentral bio is familar.  Must have been one of the long periods I didn't watch.  I had no idea until just now that Jake and Max had a sister.  Looked at some pics elsewhere. I don't recognize either actress.

Andie was Jake Harrison's sister, the same Jake who married Viki's daughter Megan

I saw very little of Viki's daughter Megan.  I knew of her from recaps and articles and some clips, and occasional viewing, but that's all.  I honestly don't remember anything of what I read back then except that she died or something, but I don't remember how.  Really nothing.  (I could look it up easily of course, just saying she's not something I know offhand)

I know there was some weird heaven storyline but I wasn't watching then, I just remember hearing it discussed/mentioned elsewhere.  I don't have the urge to look it up right now.  Busy day today.

I've seen the actress Jessica Tuck on other shows and can easily recognize her from those shows, but I know her more from the other shows than from OLTL.

Megan is a cornerstone of One Life to Live’s legacy.

As the luminous star of Fraternity Row—Llanview’s soap-within-a-soap—she was even referenced in the show’s final broadcast week, a testament to her enduring presence.

It was Megan who propelled the characters to Eterna, the pinnacle (or nadir, depending on one’s tolerance for sci-fi theatrics) of OLTL’s more outlandish storytelling.

Her death was so impactful that an entire anniversary was themed around it—a rare honor in the soap world.

And, of course, when Viki met Natalie, she had the rather extraordinary realization that Megan was only the first daughter she had conveniently forgotten she had given birth to.

I'll never deny Megan her place in OLTL history, but I think you've blended two years together. Megan died in February 1992. The show's next milestone anniversary (25th) was July 1993. I can understand the confusion, though, since the lead-up to Megan's death included a lot of flashbacks.

[janea4old]

I never saw the Fraternity Row stuff or the Eterna stuff.  Many years I didn't watch OLTL at all.

I saw only a few episodes of Natalie when I had rare tv access at that point in my life.

My time watching OLTL was much much earlier.  The only daughter of Viki that I knew was Erin Torpey's Jessica.

#wbw with Sarah Michelle Gellar at the Daytime Emmy’s 1992. Fun fact- I was coming down with chicken pox in this photo. By 9pm I was full blown. Lindsay Price was the first to notice.

I posted this in the GL thread as well, this is Michael Logan writing about Elaine Princi being fired:

So much of Robin's initial return as Dorian feels off. I do wonder how much bad blood backstage was a factor. Nothing improves for about a year.

Saddling Robin with the Blair recast (which also took about a year to settle in) did not help. I think Princi's Dorian fit the "Cramer women" motif a bit more than Robin, although Robin did give some very touching performances with Addie over the years, especially when Addie was "cured."

I can't believe Pamela Payton-Wright has been gone almost 5 years now.

Didn’t James DePaiva throw a couch in frustration of Linda Gottlieb?

That's adorable.

Logan could do snark. It took Strasser awhile to get back into Dorian. I missed Princi.
