BREAKING NEWS: Laura Bonarrigo and Melissa Fumero Returning to OLTL for Brief Stint!





Laura Bonarrigo's personal publicist has confirmed to Daytime Confidential that the actress is reprising the role of Cassie Cramer on One Life to Live!

"It's official and it's not a rumor this time, " says Michael Ormond. "Laura is coming back and she's thrilled."

Once I heard the news about Bonarrigo, I did a little more digging and guess who else is coming back? You guessed it, Bitchy Bangs herself! Melissa Fumero will be along to help the Cramer women reintroduce Gina Tognoni's Kelly to the canvas.

Thank you for the confirmation. I hope the Cramer women are coming together to destroy Mitch. Any word on their story and length of stay?

I love Dorian and the original Cramer girls -Cassie, Blair and Kelly! And Mel is back. I can't wait.

Yeah! It was so great when Laura was able to return to daytime via AMC, but her returning onto OLTL as Cassie is the best news in a while, even if it is for a limited stint.

It's so nice to see OLTL going outside the borders of Llanview to see the characters who have left:

- Michael and Marcie in Seattle;
- Kevin in London (mentioning Kelly and Zane every so often)
- and to some lesser, lesser extent, Rex's aunt Corinne in Michigan

From what I remember, Adrianna was living with Cassie in France.

 Cassie lives in Savannah and I do not think the sisters had any sort of relationship -at least not on-screen.
 
Interesting that all the Cramers are returning -hope it is not for a family tragedy.

Cassie met Adriana very briefly in 2004 when Adriana was still the nice Catholic schoolgirl who'd just found out she really was Dorian's daughter.  Cassie came to town and threw a fit about River's relationship with his "aunt."  Then, she improbably settled down and gave River and Adriana her best, complete with a sisterly hug.  Not gonna lie, she seemed drunk at the time.  All this reunion needs now is River and Addie. (I'll let Melinda slide.)

Good, the show needs to capitalize on their obvious resemblance.

The planets are aligning to make Luke's soapy world a bit more perfect.

Greenlee, Bitchy Bangs and NutMeg, the gal who blasted the Vortex of Suck.

I would love it if Bitchy Bangs stayed!  Please OLTL!  Somehow have her cross paths with Schuyler!  Give us another hot Bitchy/Gigi triangle...but without Rex.

Now if we could just get Anthony Call (Herb Callison) to have some scenes with Robin Strasser!!  For those of you who only knew Dorian/Mel, Dorian/Herb was even better!  Loved Tony Call & Robin Strasser as acting partners! 
So Laura Koffman is now going back to her maiden name?  Is she getting divorced?
Just a side note:  Cassie has never been known as "Cassie Cramer" ....  she came on the show as Cassie Reynolds, but in less than a year was adopted by Herb and was then officially Cassie Callison (which has a great ring to it!).   Cassie has apparently been in Savannah, GA all this time for some unexplained reason.  Herb is sadly never mentioned, which is a shame since his real-life wife works on the staff at OLTL!

I remember Herb, but I have never been a Cassie fan, the fact that there were so many didn't help, can anyone name all of the Cassies?

As for Adriana, I liked her and felt her character was destroyed in the name of Gigi and Rex, after all of the buildup of Rex/Adriana, perhaps that's why I can't care about let alone root for Rex/Gigi.

This is great news!  I had a feeling when Mitch mentioned Cassie we would be seeing more of the Cramer women..

 I like the idea someone proposed of a group gettting together to kill Mitch and then all confessing to the murder  to thwart prosecution.  Why not have it be a coven of Cramer?
(and have Addie be the one who actually did it)

Oh, I would love it if the Cramer girls (Cassie, Kelly, Blair, and Adriana) made a pact to kill Mitch to protect Dorian. Whether it works or not is beside the point, but it could be cool if they do it in a Rasputin kind of way.

I would like to see Melinda return as well.

Grimm that was me that suggested it - based on an epi of the Closer.

I just hope Cassie and Kevin stay.  Adrianne with Schulyer would be a good match, esp. since I think he is going to turn out to be rex's brother via Mitch.

I wonder what returns will happen, what duration and what this means for some of the other characters.  Is there really room for Tea, Blair, Marty, Cassie and Kelly all in that same age range with only John and the horror show we know as Todd Manning as possible love interests.  (if they bring back a Thornhart or zach slater I think they will also bring on Alicia minshew as someone new or as Kendall._so thats a wash.)  Adding in Kevin and Joey would be the only way to balance the scales, so basically 5 adds in that ages group plus Adrianna.   Wonder if they would beef up the Eli character as a love interest for Tea or Blair, depending on which way they go with Todd.

Wonder who would get cut. 

They would probably need 4 or 5 in addition to Jared, Charlie and Stacy. Might I suggest Kim, Greg,  Rachel, and Gigi?
