Happy Birthday to As the World Turns' Roger Howarth! I apologize to any ATWT fans who may not recognize the picture of Roger but I just had to use it because it pictures Howarth with Kristen Alderson as Todd and Starr. Boy how time flies.
Thanks to MarkDutchViewer for the tip!
News that Brian Frons is planning a possible spinoff of the amazingly-rejuvenated One Life to Live for SOAPnet inspired me to continue my Dream Soap Spinoffs series. So in honor of this awesomely-soapy development, today I will focus on OLTL.
One Life to Live: A Starr is Born
Reeling from her breakup from Cole and the bittersweet pain she feels after giving her baby to the McBains, Starr channels her pain into music. Langston convinces her perform her songs on a You Tube-esque video sharing site. Starr is reluctant at first, but before long she is actually having fun and feeling like her old self and her show is a fast hit on the web!
It isn't long before a hot shot New York record producer Jared Slade (played by Sean Kanan, Matthew Crane or Tom Eplin, take your pick!) turns up at La Boulaie wanting to sign Starr to a recording contract (Look for major sparks between Jared and Blair). If you think one stage parent was bad, try three ! Todd, Blair and Dorian all weigh in on Starr's potential musical future, but ultimately the choice is Starr's. READ MORE
Which sort of leads me to a fun topic for discussion.
If you could cast a current or former daytime star as the lead in a major movie, who would you cast? What about As the World Turns' Mick Hazen (Parker) as Harry Potter, One Life to Live's Kristen Alderson (Starr) as Hermione Granger and former General Hospital star Dylan Cash (Michael) as Ron Weasley? Now I just have to figure out who I'd cast as Voldemort and Dumbledore.
May 29 One Life to Live teen star Kristen Alderson turns 17. Kristen has been playing Starr Manning since March 1998 when she landed the part fresh of a year of touring with the musical "Annie" in the role of Molly.
Soaps.com reports that "during the week of May 12, 2008, Starr’s pregnancy fallout and Rex and Adriana’s drama filled wedding, One Life to Live delivered its best numbers in eight months in women ranging from eighteen to thirty-four and in three months in women ranging from eighteen to forty-nine!
During Starr and Cole’s (Brandon Buddy) runaway scenes, the show hit the jersey shores for their awaited location shoot that not only delivered its viewers an amazing storyline surrounding young love and the ramifications of having unprotected sex, but it brought public awareness to many who felt just as alone as Starr and Cole!"
Happy Birthday to a very talented and beautiful young lady!
Oh and in case you've never checked out Kristen Alderson's blog Start Talking With Kristen at ABC you may want to check it out. Both Kristen and Brandon blogged about their appearance on The View.
