Haskell Returns To OLTL
Soaps Opera Digest
June 17, 2008
Even though ONE LIVE TO LIVE has not official announced it
yet, Susan Haskell has confirmed on her Web site that she'll be
returning to her Emmy-winning role of Marty!
The In Depth Story: Execs had been hoping that they could woo
back the actress, who previously played Marty from 1992-1997and again
in 2004 and 2005. But Haskell had been reluctant to
return in a full-time capacity before now because she has two young
daughters (with ALL MY CHILDREN's Thorsten Kaye, who plays
Zach). OLTL recast the part with Christina Chambers but fired
her following a lukewarm audience response in late 2007 after only a
year.
"It's good because [Haskell's daugher] Marlowe is now 1, and McKenna
is, like, 5," says Robert S. Woods (Bo), who's starred with Haskell
throughout her prior stints. "So, she got to spend time with
them, which I think is valuable, and now she can come back and work."
Marty was killed last December when her car exploded after a showdown
with Irish terrorists, but her body was never recovered. Her
son, Cole, is now expecting a child with Starr, while her boyfriend,
John, remains determined to bring down the new police commissioner,
Ramsey, who unwittingly contributed to Marty's death.
Recently, Ramsey has been tending to a mysterious person in his home,
leading many to speculate that it's actually Marty. Expect to
see the mystery unfold in June.
