With production underway, The Online Network announced the final cast lists for All My Children and One Life to Live, officially confirming the lot of new hires and returning faces for the new projects.
It’s an exciting time to be a fan of Prospect Park’s upcoming AMC and OLTL revivals as production has begun for the former and the latter starts in a mere two weeks!
The Online Network hosted a media day, inviting various members of the press out to Connecticut for the chance to interview the stars and get a first-hand look at what viewers can expect in when the soaps premiere. During the event, TOLN also released an updated cast listing for both soaps with a few new names and one interesting actor returning in a brand new role.
All My Children Cast List:
- Julia Barr (Brooke English)
- Ryan Bittle (JR Chandler)
- David Canary (Adam Chandler)
- Lindsay Hartley (Cara Castillo)
- Vincent Irrizary (Dr. David Hayward)
- Francesca James (Evelyn Johnson)
- Thorsten Kaye (Zach Slater)
- Jill Larson (Opal Cortlandt)
- Ray MacDonnell (Dr. Joe Martin)
- Cady McClain (Dixie Cooney)
- Debbi Morgan (Dr. Angela Hubbard)
- Eric Nelsen (AJ Chandler)
- Jordan Lane Price (Celia Fitzgerald)
- Eden Riegel (Bianca Montgomery)
- Heather Roop (Jane McIntyre)
- Saleisha (Sal) Stowers (Cassandra Foster)
- Denyse Tontz (Miranda Montgomery)
- Jordi Vilaauso (Griffin Castillo)
- Darnell Williams (Jesse Hubbard)
- Robert Scott Wilson (Peter Cortlandt)
Francesca James previously played twins Kelly and Kitty Tyler in 1979 before moving to a more behind the scenes oriented role directing and producing for multiple soaps including AMC over the years. Now James will be playing Evelyn Johnson a school principal with a secret!
One Life to Live Cast List:
- Melissa Archer (Natalie Buchanan Banks)
- Kassie DePaiva (Blair Cramer)
- Jerry verDorn (Clint Buchanan)
- Robert Gorrie (Matthew Buchanan)
- Laura Harrier (Destiny Evans)
- Josh Kelly (Cutter Wentworth)
- Florencia Lozano (Tea Delgado)
- Kelley Missal (Danielle Manning)
- Erika Slezak (Victoria ‘Viki’ Lord Buchanan)
- Hillary B. Smith (Nora Buchanan)
- Robin Strasser (Dorian Lord)
- Andrew Trischitta (Jack Manning)
- Tuc Watkins (David Vickers)
- Robert S. Woods (Bo Buchanan)
The Online Network officially confirmed that Robert Gorrie (ex-Nate, As the World Turns/InTurn) has been cast in the role of Mathew Buchanan! He joins Laura Harrier, also confirmed by TOLN today, who’ll take over the role of Destiny Evans. Rumor has it that Mathew hasn’t been the best father to his son Drew, creating heartache for Destiny and causing her to find comfort elsewhere.
The Online Network also arranged for a cast photo shoot with the stars of its new series. Fresh off his successful prediction of the gown Jennifer Lawrence would wear to the Academy Awards this past Sunday when she accepted her Oscar® for Best Actress, and his co-hosting duties on for E!’s Fashion Police, celebrity stylist George Kotsiopoulos hopped a flight to the East Coast for another marathon of glamour. He styled today’s first-ever photo shoot for the casts of All My Children and One Life to Live since it was announced earlier this year that the beloved series will receive new life this Spring on the Internet via The Online Network.
In addition to Kotsiopoulos’ chic and skilled styling, famed photographer Chapman Baehler, who originally made a name for himself shooting the punk rock band Social Distortion as well as legendary rockers Stone Temple Pilots while on tour, and who now frequently contributes to Rolling Stone, photographed both casts for the gallery, bringing a fresh and modern aesthetic to the tone-setting art for these storied and newly-resuscitated franchises.

I’m so excited that Francesca James is going to be back in front of the camera! I love her! I had a chance to see her many years ago on stage in St. Louis at the Loretto Hilton Repertory Theater and she is really a great actress!
This is so exciting! I am freaking out with excitement. These shows are going to be so good. And how fun is it that George from Fashion Police is going to style the photo shoots for the news casts?! I love that. Go All My Children and One Life to Live.
