OLTL: Tonja Walker (Alex Olanov) Returns!

Alex Olanov, played by the wonderful actress Tonja Walker, returns to Llanview to revert back to her scheming ways with a little help from David Vickers (Tuc Watkins). As previously reported, current Desperate Housewives star Tuc Watkins will return to “One Life to Live” in November but he will have some interesting company in Alex. Alex Olanov was last seen at Asa’s funeral in August- where she found out that David Vickers was Asa’s long-lost son and I’m quite sure she’s milking this for all its worth. In her true fashion, Alex hunts David down and brings him back to Llanview, all the while determined to get her hands on his inheritance money.

Walker originated the role of black widow Alex Olanov in 1990. After leaving “OLTL” in 1997, she would return for brief appearances in 2001, 2002, and earlier this year in celebration of the daytime drama’s 10,000th episode. In addition to “OLTL,” Walker’s other soap roles include Lizbeth Bachman on “Capitol” from 1982-1986, Olivia St. John Jerome on “General Hospital” from 1988-1990, Marie Green on “Guiding Light” from 2003-2004, and Grace Nancier on “Passions” in 2007.

A former Miss Teen All-American in 1979, Walker earned the title of Miss Maryland USA the following year. Later that year, she finished seventh in the nationally televisedMiss USA pageant. Earlier this year she produced and co-starred in a Family Film, which also stars Bill Cobbs, William R. Moses, and “High School Musical’s” Zac Efron.

Look for Walker to briefly return as Alex beginning November 1st.
