(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — More than a year after she joined the show as Destiny Evans, “One Life to Live” places Shenell Edmonds on contract.   

Last summer Edmonds told Soap Opera Digest that “I love playing Destiny. It’s easy to relate to her because she’s a lot like me.”  The teen actress first aired on February 27th, 2009. “OLTL” marks her first soap role.

No word on what this means for the rest of Edmonds onscreen family, all of whom (with the exception of big brother Greg [Terrell Tilford]) remain on recurring status.

“One Life to Live” airs Weekdays on ABC. Weeknights on SOAPnet. Anytime on ABC.com and SOAPnet.com. Check local listings.
