FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2008
OLTL -- Word is that ANDREA EVANS has been persuaded to return as Tina Lord and will arrive some time during MAY sweeps. Tina's return will be tied to a surprising character, and will make sense for long-term fans. Tina is the half-sister of Viki and Todd, which makes Tina related to most of the town -- either by blood or by marriage. Tina also has a daughter who is already in town - Sarah. And Tina's ex-husband, David Vickers, is about to return. For those who are unaware of the story, David Vickers arrived in Llanview, claiming to be the missing son of Victor Lord. However, David soon fell in love with Tina, even though Tina believed that David was her brother. While Tina STILL believed that David WAS her biological half- brother, Tina and David spent a night of wild passion at the cabin of Tina's sister, Viki. Only AFTERWARD did David confess to Tina that he was a fraud and was NOT really the son of Victor Lord. Tina and David decided to keep the truth under wraps, in the hope that David would be able to grab off the millions of dollars which Victor Lord had left for his missing son. Tina and David were later secretly married in Las Vegas. It was eventually revealed that Todd Manning was REALLY Victor Lord's missing son. TUC WATKINS is prepared to put in another appearance as David. MELISSA FUMERO is scheduled to tape her last episode as Adrianna on May 1. Most recently, there have been whisperings that Rex and Adriana will marry on MAY 13! JANUARY LAVOY and JOHN RUE will pop up as Bon-Jour's Noelle and Moe some time during May. Word is that ONE LIE TO LIVE has managed to lure back a major former player, but the star's return is currently planned to be for a LIMITED run ONLY. ALSO - there will be a SHOCKING EXIT during May sweeps which will involve a leading man or woman. There is speculation that FORBES MARCH will exit the role of Nash during May sweeps. Word is that TOBIAS TRUVILLION, who has been appearing as Vincent and was recently taken off contract - is now definitely leaving OLTL. KEVIN SPIRITAS will debut as Jonas Chamberlain during June as a character who has ties to Tina.

COMPARE THIS TO SOAP RATINGS FROM YEARS PAST:

These are averages for the entire year. ALSO - you will notice that YOUNG AND RESTLESS just celebrated their TWENTIETH YEAR as this country's NUMBER ONE rated soap. And not a single, solitary mobster or mob shoot-out in sight! Anywhere. In ALL of that time! Just imagine!

***PORT CHARLES 1.7

(Although Port Charles has an over-all 1.7 average for the year from September 2002 to September 2003 - Port Charles had a 1.2 rating by the time that the final episodes were aired. Affiliates all over the country absolutely refused to even carry the final three weeks. Even very loyal WABC in New York shuffled Port Charles off to the graveyard shift for the last SIX weeks that Port Charles was on the air. Soap Net itself did NOT air a marathon for the final week of Port Charles! Instead, Soap Net aired 'One Last Bite - favorite episodes of the chosen few. Oddly enough, veterans like Lynn Herring and Jon Robert Lindstrom managed to sneak in episodes from the HIGHER rated, PRE-December, 2000 era. AMC and OLTL are BOTH currently on a ratings par with Port Charles when Port Charles was cancelled!)
