ABC Soaps Watch

Apparently, embattled OLTL star Nathaniel Marston has officially been let go from One Life to Live due to his legal problems. He is accused of assault in NYC in which he looked like the guilty party. I cannot say that I appreciate this actor any more now- he has ruined his image, I just hope that this has not ruined his life and career. Here is the full article:

To update a story Soap Opera Network first broke late last month, a spokesperson for “One Life to Live” has confirmed that Nathaniel Marston has been fired from the ABC soap following a run-in with the law on October 20th. The move comes only two weeks after ABC announced that Marston was being pulled from the “OLTL” taping schedule while the network reviewed the incident.

A source close to “OLTL” says the role will likely be recast very shortly, with the writer’s strike making a last-minute rewrite to explain the character’s exit improbable. This marks the second time Marston has been fired from “OLTL.” His 2003 firing prompted a huge fan backlash, resulting in the network brass re-hiring him.

Sunday morning was a doozy for one certain soap opera star; Nathaniel Marston, who plays Dr. Michael McBain on One Life to Live, was out of control and beat up three random people in NYC. Marston, who has had a history of anger management issues, having been arrested in 1999 for punching an ATM, went on a rampage, after what seemed to be a fight with a taxi driver, allegedly assaulting one man with a crate and breaking another’s leg.

Police suspect that Nathaniel seemed to be under the influence of narcotics, perhaps cocaine, and that he resisted arrest, fighting off the cops. He was charged with two counts each of felony assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon as well as one count of resisting arrest. He was taken to Bellevue hospital, where he was labeled an emotionally disturbed person. Sources state that the actor will most likely have lost his job at OLTL. He was suddenly fired with no explanation in 2003, but was rehired when fans wrote in protesting his dismissal. It’s doubtful, after this incident, that they’ll be yet another life for Nathaniel to live.

Here we go again with these soap stars out of control- I guess they are just like the rest of us, with just as many problems. I guess that means we will see another Dr. Michael McBain on our television screens soon- I hope they get a good actor for it. It’s just a shame that his whole career will be down the drain for this incident- another wasted acting talent.

Christina Chambers (Marty Saybrooke) has been fired, no other information is available. I think that this is the case of an actress that just doesn’t fit into a re-casted role- she’s a fine actress and I am sure she can get another great acting gig.

Another OLTL star has joined an ABC Primetime show, in addition to Tuc Watkins (David Vickers) joining Desperate Housewives, Trevor St. John (Todd Manning) will be joining Dirty Sexy Money as the dead father of Peter Krause’s character, Nick George. St. John will appear as Nick’s dead father in flashbacks scenes. The events surrounding his charater’s death will be one of the show’s beginning storylines. The primetime drama, which centers around the lives of Manhattan’s wealthy Darling family, stars Donald Sutherland as the family patriarch, Tripp Darling. No first airdate has been given, however, the role is recurring.

Tuc Watkins(David Vickers) will join the cast of Desperate Housewives as one half of Wisteria Lane’s first gay couple, Bob and Lee. Watkins will play Bob, described as a country moose who leaves the big city for greener pastures, while ex-Judging Amy actor Kevin Rahm will play Lee, the bitchy half. Both roles are recurring at this time, but knowing how good of an actor Tuc is he could easily get a contract. I hope he really succeeds on DH, nice to see a transition on the a much broader audience.
