Haskell's Heading Home!
Soaps In Depth
June 2, 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.
