"I was told by somebody in the business that Martha Byrne (ex-Lily) is this close to signing a deal with chief "As The World Turns" competition, "One Life To Live."
Melissa Fumero, who plays Adriana, the daughter of "OLTL" villainess supreme Dorian, is leaving the show this summer thus leaving Dorian with "one less of her girls."
38-year-old Byrne is apparently being groomed to portray Cassie, Dorian's oldest daughter. The last actress to portray Cassie, Laura Koffman, is only five years older than Byrne.
The mother-daughter dynamics between Dorian and Cassie are quite similar to the relationship shared by Lucinda and Lily: Dorian is rich, controlling and can be a major witch when she wants to be while Cassie, always the heroine, seemed to find just as much disappointment in the romance department as Lily.
This would reunite Byrne with former "ATWT" co-star Hunt Block (ex-Craig), now Ramsey. And if other internet rumours that Cady McClain joins "OLTL" as Caitlin Fitzgerald, come true, there would be a huge reason for disgruntled "ATWT" watchers to tune into "OLTL."
Stranger things have happened, indeed."
