The latest cast changes and other odds and ends for "One Life to Live."
With his character murdered only weeks after finding out he was really Todd Manning's (Roger Howarth) twin brother Victor Lord, Jr. and not the reformed rapist himself, Trevor St. John taped his final scenes on "One Life to Live" on July 22 after eight years on the show. Now that he has already left the canvas, aside from some possible flashbacks scenes, his former "One Life" co-stars take a few moments to wish him well and recall what they learned from him over the years.
You've likely heard of the big September returns like Erin Torpey, Andrea Evans and John Loprieno, but they aren't the only familiar faces coming back to "One Life to Live" in the coming weeks. A few other minor, but noteworthy characters will also be making appearances as summer turns into fall.
Back in June at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, "One Life to Live" executive producer Frank Valentini alluded to Soap Opera Network that we hadn't seen the last of Farah Fath despite her character, Gigi Morasco, being killed off. In our Twitter posting that night, we stated "according to Frank Valentini, more surprises in store for #OLTL. Have we seen the last of Gigi? Don't believe what you see!"

On "One Life to Live" Shenell Edmonds plays Destiny Evans, a teenager who is seventeen and pregnant. That alone would be enough to scare the average teenager. But it is even worse for Destiny, considering she is estranged from her grandparents, her father is in jail, and her boyfriend recovering from severe brain injuries in a special treatment center hours away. Next month, the frightened young mother-to-be weighs her options, and has her world turned upside down yet again, thanks to…
It appears that not even death can keep Gigi Morasco (Farah Fath) away from Llanview and her beloved Rex (John-Paul Lavoisier). Fath revealed recently that, even after her character's demise, "I can't say that I'm 100% done with the show." True to her word, the actress brings Gigi back to "Life" in the coming weeks when Rex needs her the most. But is it really her spirit that is seeing, or simply a product of his grieving, overactive imagination?
"One Life to Live" releases a new audition script for the contract role of "Lily" and other casting odd and ends and behind-the-scenes summer tidbits.
"One Life to Live" goes behind-the-scenes to ask some of Llanview's leading residents their thoughts on one of the town's most infamous characters -- Todd Manning, only to learn that "he's a bit misunderstood." But will they spill on just who is really playing Todd -- Trevor St. John or Roger Howarth? You'll have to watch to find out!
Andrew Trischitta, who plays Jack Manning on "One Life to Live," is on contract with the ABC daytime drama series.
The Tuesday, February 22 episode of "One Life to Live" will not only give viewers their first glimpse of Andrew Trischitta as a recast Jack Manning, but it will also be the day that the ABC soap begins telling the story of bullying in America. The topic, of course, especially hits home with many children as they prepare to go to school each weekday not knowing if they will be thrown into their lockers with a wedgie or hanging upside down waiting for their lunch money to be stolen by…
