One Live To Live: Haskell's Back!

By Jesse Murray
Good things come in threes, and we've got proof: With the news of
Andrea Evans and Tuc Watkins returning to "One Life to Live," as Tina
Lord and David Vickers , comes official word that Susan Haskell is
coming back to the show as Marty Saybrooke.
Yes, THAT Marty
Saybrooke -- Cole's (Brandon Buddy) mother. The woman Todd (Trevor St.
John) raped in college. The person who finally started to get John
(Michael Easton) to smile. And the one who went over a cliff in a van,
which blew up and seemingly killed her.
Clearly, she's not
dead. So what's going on? Is this somehow connected to Tina's return?
The mysterious person Ramsey has hidden? The arrival of Kevin Spirtas's
character? We CAN tell you that Marty's return -- scheduled for early
June -- is an important piece of a larger, very exciting story that
will help "One Life to Live" celebrate its 40th year in a big way!
A Family Affair
"I
cannot be more excited," says "OLTL" head writer Ron Carlivati about
Marty's return. He promises Marty will play a big role in Cole and
Starr's teen pregnancy drama. "We've made such a point that [his unborn
baby with Starr] is important to Cole, because he has no one and feels
alone. The idea that ... his mother is alive makes it a much richer
story."
Susan played Marty from 1993 to 1997. She won a
Daytime Emmy for the role in 1994. The character of Marty returned to
the canvas in 2006, played by Christina Chambers, but the actress
exited last year with Marty's apparent death.
We're kind of
jealous of Susan, because, in real life, she's married to Thorsten Kaye
-- aka Zach Slater from "All My Children." They have two young
daughters, McKenna and Marlowe.
What do you think is in store for Marty?
