John & Blair

John has the bigger knife.

Wes has the bigger knife.

One Life to Live star, Michael Easton will make his chat fest debut with the ladies of The View tomorrow. This should be an interesting show since the actor could be put in the hot seat about his character John McBain being part of the highly controversial Todd (Trevor St. John) and Marty (Susan Haskell) romance storyline. The actor's take on the "Tarty" storyline, plus the possibilty we'll see if his Soul Stealer graphic novel character put the smackdown on Elisabeth Hasslebeck just might make this episode of The View truly Must See TV!

Nelson Branco has a new interview with One Life to Live's Michael Easton up at TV Guide Canda in which Easton reveals that he's reserving judgment on the Blair and John pairing. Here is an excerpt.

TVG: Are you psyched about the burgeoning Todd-Blair-John-Marty quadrangle? It’s quite the controversial and risky storyline.

ME: Yeah, but Susan Haskell, speaking of Toronto people, and Trevor are doing really interesting things with the story. Susan’s a fantastic actress. Hopefully, we’ll build towards something explosive with this group of characters. I wasn’t sure if I was happy about John and Blair’s romance, but [I’m reserving judgment until I see it play out]. I try not to ask a lot of questions. I don’t think I’ve ever had a meeting with Ron Carlivati about storyline. I never sat with Dena Higley nor Josh Griffith and Michael Malone. There was a story out there once that I liked to sit down with the writers all the time, but that’s not true. We’ll talk when we pass each other in the hallway, but that’s it.

Check out the entire interview by visiting TV Guide Canda.
