Casting for 'Life': Early Summer Odds & Ends

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — “One Life to Live” issues another casting call, and other comings and goings for the month of June.

The scene opens with Rhonda urging “Alice Gordon” to take the deal, which could result in her being released on good behavior in eight years. However, if she decides not to take the deal, she would face the maximum punishment for murder that the state allows, even if the person she killed was “Donald Beck.” Alice maintains her innocence, to which Rhonda asserts that she doesn’t believer her. She points out that she had the means, motive, and opportunity to commit the crime, plus she jumped bail. Therefore, Rhonda admits that she is certain of her Alice’s guilt, and gives her 24 hours to make a final decision about whether or not she will expect the plea deal.

As she leaves the room, “Doug” tells Rhonda he seriously doubts that Alice will end up taking the deal. Rhonda responds that she would stupid to reject it, since it is the best she could hope for. She then tells Doug to straighten up his office or else get her one of her own. Doug rebuffs her demand, claiming he likes things just the way they are. As the scene ends, he asks Rhonda how “Lucy” is doing. Rhonda explains that she should be able to go outside tomorrow, and that the antibiotics are working….finally. Then she again demands Doug clean his office. Doug asks if she always acts that way around her boss. She says yes, and that she treats everyone the same way.

It should be noted that this is not a new script, but one that “OLTL” recycled from 2008, in which Rhonda was referred to as “Kate,” Alice as “Sarah,” Doug as “Richard,” and Donald Beck as “Michael Hogan” (the name Lucy remained the same in both scripts however). It should also be pointed out that the show often changes character names in these scripts, and that it may or may be not even be casting the character of “Rhonda,” but may just be using the script to cast (or recast) another character who embodies similar personality traits as the ones described in the audition script.
