Now some dish on OLTL...
Many fans (not me!) are
blasting OLTL for its "Back to the Future" 1968 story, but among those who love
it, in addition to a certain handsome, winsome soap columnist (*clears throat*),
are two of the main players in the story, Farah Fath (Gigi/Emma) and John-Paul
Lavoisier (Rex/Bo). The real life couple like nothing better than cuddling
together at night and watching OLTL from beginning to end and especially loved
the historical story. Lavoisier says that he wishes he could get a DVD of
just the 1968 footage to watch over and over. Each actor admits that their
relationship is the only time they have ever dated a co-star and Lavoisier
sweetly says of their love scenes, "I act with Gigi, but I kiss Farah."

A little known fact is that
John-Paul's last name is actually Seponski. He chose Lavoisier as a
stage name from the name of a scientist he found in his high school biology
book. He also owns one of the few existing DeLorean cars.
As
excited as I am about the too temporary return of Ty Treadway, I have to also
give a nod to the fact that Jessica Morris (ex-Jennifer Rappaport) will also be
making an appearance as Rex is shot and goes to a game show format hallucination
called "So You Think You Can Be Shane Morasco's Father." The sequence was
actually shot on the set of the very popular "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire."
Never let it be said that
actor's pride gets in the way of ex-Mitch Laurence, Roscoe Born. Between
acting gigs, born held down a number of odd jobs including working for a private
investigator, night shelf stocking at a grocery store, working in the medical
records section of a hospital, working for a cable company and a computer job
that he admits was not a good fit. He said that he only lasted two weeks
and on the next to the last day, he turned into Mitch and said, "If someone
doesn't come over here and help me with this shit, I'm going to put my foot
through this fucking screen." He says they were terrified and the next
day, he got "the call" that it was his last day. (Soap Opera Digest)
