Llanview ‘Gossip’: Amanda Setton Makes ‘OLTL’ Debut

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 10:50 PM ET | By Scotty Gore


(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — The former “Gossip Girl” splashes down in Llanview on Friday, August 14th, just in time to assist her best friend Stacy Morasco (Crystal Hunt) in cooking up her latest scheme.

With her first airdate finally announced by “One Life to Live,” fans can look for the younger Morasco sister’s BFF, Kimberly (Kim) Andrews, to take a break from her lucrative pole dancing career in Las Vegas to move to Llanview to make things just that much sluttier for the residents of the fictional Pennsylvania town.

After filling her best bud in on the details of what became of her once delicate situation and explaining how the truth must stay buried, Kim offers Stacy a simple solution to her problem. But one question remains…sending the stripper sisters off looking for a sucker they can lure into their trap to ensure that Ms. Morasco gets what she wants, rather than what she deserves.

Best known for portraying Penelope Shafai on the hit CW primetime drama “Gossip Girl,” “OLTL” marks the first soap role for Setton. Her character, which was originally named Summer, will interact with Stacy, Rex, and Gigi, as well as a few other characters in Llanview. It is a contract role.
