(SoapOperaNetwork.com) – Kristen Alderson and Brandon Buddy set the record straight about their future with “.”  

With Internet speculation swirling that Llanview’s tumultuous teen couple Starr Manning and Cole Thornhart may soon be out the door, the actors behind two of “One Life to Live’s” most popular characters tackle the rumors surrounding their future with the show. 

For almost a decade, Kristen Alderson has literally grown up before the eyes of “One Life” fans as the troubled daughter of reformed rapist Todd Manning.  Now the 18-year-old actress is ready to advance to the next stage of her career, venturing into primetime.  However, Alderson admits that, while interested in pursuing guest appearances in after dark network television, she is content on staying true to her daytime roots, telling Soap Opera Digest that ”I’m definitely not planning to leave ‘One Life to Live.’”

As for Buddy, reports indicate that the actor, who made his “OLTL” debut in 2006 as the son of Marty Saybrooke and Patrick Thornhart, also has no plans to leave Llanview anytime soon.  That appears to be the story, despite speculation that the daytime sudser may be planning to kill off the character of Cole.  Instead, it appears that Buddy will remain with the show for the foreseeable future, and that viewers can expect to see more of Cole in the weeks and months ahead.   

In other news…

Matt Drago will return to “OLTL” in the coming months in a dayplayer capacity.  Drago, who appeared as a Rodi’s Patron last month, posted in his blog for the week of May 17th that “…tomorrow I will be back on set in ‘One Life to Live’!”  The soap regularly tapes approximately six weeks in advance.   

The recently released audition script for the role of Elijah Kent looks to be for a new lawyer.  Also, another audition script has just been released by ”OLTL,” this time for the role of a Rabbi.   SON will have more details on these casting calls as they becomes available.

Chris Engen Issues Statement on MySpace

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 8:00 PM ET | By Errol Lewis

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — Nearly one week after reportedly walking off the set of CBS’ “” over a dispute with show producers over the direction of his character, actor Chris Engen finally speaks out and issues an official statement on the matter via his MySpace page.

Good Day. This is the first time in my life that I address an audience so vast and varied. There are a number of heated topics that have become entwined with my recent decision to quit my job, and I feel there are a number of truths that deserve to be stated, a number of untruths that deserve to be rectified, and a few of my own ideas that, by way of circumstance, I am compelled to inject into the debate. This is the only statement I intend to make regarding this subject. I would like first to apologize, as I feel I owe a great many of you at least that. I know that a choice like this appears weak and impulsive. Honestly, it was the last thing I ever thought I’d do – the absolute LAST thing I ever wanted.

The job has been a great challenge, and my hat is off to all my fellow actors who have mastered it so gracefully. I know a great many of you have endured far worse than what you perceive to have been my circumstance, but I do not believe that just because you have suffered a particular injustice, so too must everyone else in order to understand that injustice. I want to apologize to any of my fellow actors who I may have disappointed. I would also like to apologize to those of you who feel slighted by this choice, as I have been branded a “homophobe” by several members of the press. This is, of course, absurd and many of my dearest friends are homosexuals who would be more than happy to speak on my behalf. My decision had nothing to do with religion, or anything I learned at Bishop Montgomery High School. Bishop is a great institution of learning that encourages tolerance and acceptance of others. I do not ascribe to any one religious ideology but do value the truth that exists in them all. I think the unfortunate assumption that has been made is that Catholics are intolerant of homosexuals on the basis of their Catholicism. Intolerance of anything is a product of one’s underlying belief system as an experience of limitation. It is the line we intellectually draw within ourselves that prevents us from understanding those things we reject, because it defines the boundaries of who we are as individuals. We are what we are, but we are also NOT what we are not. Intolerance is a natural reaction that, I believe, we must understand in order to defeat. It is not a fire to be stomped out by an angry foot or extinguished by a inundating stream of media exposure. Homosexuality is a quality of beingness: one of many qualities that make up the rich diversity that humanity expresses.

True — I was not comfortable with many of the challenges they presented before me, but I put my head down and did my job. The fact that I had an opportunity as ostensibly attractive and lucrative as this, particularly in difficult economic times and with so many talented actors and industry professionals out of work was, of course, more than reason enough to be grateful. I considered it part of the challenge and within my job description to do the best with whatever storyline was being written for me, as I was very fortunate to be getting a storyline in the first place. I understand that the writers have a very difficult task. They accomplish more in a week than what other shows do in over a month. I never stormed off the set, nor have I stormed off any set in my 18 years of struggle as an artist. I felt generally unhappy about my contribution to the show, and had greater and greater difficulty making any sense of the challenges they were asking me to face. If that makes me a limited actor, then so be it. I was allowed ONE meeting with Maria Bell, and I called in sick ONCE in my 16 months on the show. In the end, I didn’t feel that decisions were being made in my best interests, personally or professionally.

I learned a great deal in my time there and I am eternally grateful for the challenges that enriched me as an artist and as a man. As a single father, with sole custody of a 10 year-old boy, this was neither a practical decision, nor was it an easy decision to make. I believe that as an actor, and as a human being, I deserve better than to be forced to do something that I don’t feel is right on many levels, and that should have nothing to do with the choices that other people make. My visage and my craft were being utilized to tell a story that I wasn’t inspired to tell. I have a great deal of respect for the show in general and all those hard-working people who make it possible, and it is out of respect for them and a sense of duty toward them that I asked to be removed from my duties. I know this doesn’t conform to contract stipulations and it is regrettable that my personal feelings came into conflict with that precedent, although I don’t think that would have ever been the case if what was being requested of me was not unprecedented. Ultimately, the producers were very understanding and amenable and I, in fact, worked until they told me they didn’t need me anymore. I am sure that more of my colleagues would speak on my behalf if they too weren’t afraid of the possible consequences, and I don’t blame them for that. It has been a difficult journey for me, and many others, on the road to understanding the nature of artistry and what it takes to succeed. Strength is measured by what we are willing to stand for, not by what we are willing to lie down and take. I want to thank everyone who has voiced such tremendous support and encouragement. Much love and gratitude to you all. God Bless. Namaste
