Hello, OLTL fans. Just a few things to tell you this time around.
I've changed things a little (which is why this is so late in getting
out). In the beginning, I've listed all of the characters profiled in
all four (yes, four) posts that I'm sending out. After that, I have the
full character descriptions. Hopefully, this will jog some of your
memories when it comes to the names of the actors who've portrayed the
characters.
With that out of the way, I'd like you to know that I'm presenting
you all with a *once-in-a-lifetime* opportunity. This time around, I've
added as many characters as I could think of. If anyone can think of a
character they don't see here, I'll try to add them next month.
Unfortunately, next month will be the last time I send out the
entire list. After next month, I'm only going to include characters
currently on the show and characters *directly* related to them. If you
want the entire list, you'll have to e-mail me. So start thinking. And
enjoy!
