(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — Barbara Garrick spotted outside the “One Life” studios in New York.

Garrick, who is best known for her realistic portrayal of nutjob Allison Perkins, was photographed on Monday (January 18th) with co-star Melissa Archer (Natalie Banks) by Steven Bergman, who routinely snaps images of the “OLTL” cast and crew as they enter and exit the show’s studios.

Rumors have persisted in recent months that the actress was reprising her signature role, despite the fact that representatives for “One Life” have had no comment on the speculation.

When viewers last saw Allison, she had lapsed into a coma after suffering a fall, but not before teasing that she knew a huge secret involving Jessica Brennan (Bree Williamson).

SON will continue to follow this story and bring you more details as they develop.
