Nigel Bartholomew-Smythe is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live. Peter Bartlett played the role from May 1991[1] until the series ended on January 13, 2012. He returned to the role April 29, 2013, when the show resumed on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network. Nigel is the longtime butler and confidante of billionaire Asa Buchanan. In 2009, Barlett began also playing the role of Nigel's cousin, Neville Smythe.[2]
In early 2003, Nigel is romantically linked to Roxy Balsom.[1]
In October 2006, David Vickers finds out that Asa once had an affair with David's mother, Emma Bradley, but Asa denies it. Later, David's brother Spencer Truman claims to be Asa's son, but a DNA test proves otherwise. A conversation between Asa and Nigel hints that there is more to the story. On August 16, 2007, Asa dies in his sleep and is found by Nigel. At the funeral on August 17, 2007 Nigel tells a returned Max Holden that Asa has another son: David Vickers. Max advises Nigel to wait to tell the rest of the family; meanwhile, an eavesdropping Alex Olanov seeks out David. Nigel inherits Asa's yacht and private island, but in his video will Asa announces the existence of his other son; Nigel is tasked to inform this son of his parentage "when the time is right." Alex returns, married to an in-the-dark David, and blackmails Nigel with the facts of David's parentage. Not wanting the Buchanans to discover that con man David is one of them, Nigel gives his inheritance to Alex in exchange for her silence. Nigel has a cousin Neville who is the Buchanan mansion butler to the Buchanans living in London, England. Nigel later becomes a butler to Clint Buchanan, his wife Nora Buchanan, Clint's brother Bo Buchanan, and Bo and Nora's son Matthew Buchanan after Asa gives the Buchanan Mansion to Nora in his will. After Clint and Nora divorce in 2010, Nigel soely works for Clint after Clint wins ownership of the mansion from Nora in their divorce settlement. After Clint has a heart attack in the spring of 2011 and is blackmailed for a piece of his fortune and the deed to the Buchanan Mansion in exchange for committing his mentally ill daughter Jessica Buchanan to St. Anne's by her then husband and con artist Cutter Wentworth, Clint loses ownership of the mansion to Cutter, and Nigel then works as Cutter's butler, along with his house guests Vimal Patel and his wife Rama Patel. Cutter later loses ownership of the mansion when Rex Balsom blackmails his estranged father Clint for the entire Buchanan fortune and the mansion in exchange for Clint to get the heart of Rex's dead fiance Gigi Morasco. Clint then enlists Nigel to evict Cutter, Vimal, and Rama out of the mansion on June 28, 2011. However, on July 8, 2011, Rex fires Nigel as the mansion's butler because he can't trust Nigel because of his friendship with Clint. Nigel is later hired by Clint to be his butler/confidante when he is under house arrest for twenty years at his ex-wife Victoria Lord's Llanfair estate for committing recent various crimes. Nigel attempts to fend off a briefly deranged Brody Lovett when he kidnaps Natalie Buchanan's son Liam McBain from Llanfair after word breaks out that police detective John McBain is the biological father of Natalie's child. Nigel's is knocked out by Brody and tended to by Roxy. They begin to grow close once again, especially when their beloved soap opera, Fraternity Row goes off the air.

The morning of Becky and Drew's wedding, Drew Ralston is killed.

Reverend Andrew Carpenter is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. The role was played by Wortham Krimmer from October 1991 until March 1, 2010. In 1999, Krimmer was downgraded to recurring status.[3]
Andrew Carpenter first appears in Llanview to take over St. James, an Episcopalian church, in October 1991. He quickly fall in love with ailing Megan Gordon and helps find her estranged husband Jake Harrison before she dies. Andrew becomes close with Cassie Callison, and begins counseling Llanview University party girl Marty Saybrooke.
Andrew's father Sloan follows him to town, first appearing in 1992. He is a widower and a retired four-star general turned author. Sloan had another son William, who had died of AIDS several years earlier. Sloan and William were estranged because of William's homosexuality. His relationship with Andrew, because of his contempt of William, is also strained. While writing a biography of deceased millionaire publisher Victor Lord, Sloan meets and becomes involved with Victor's daughter Victoria Lord — and makes an enemy in Dorian, who is furious that Sloan's book hinted that her implicit negligence killed Victor.
Llanview is torn apart by scandal when Marty accuses Andrew of being a pedophile, and having seduced local teenager Billy Douglas, in a storyline that predated the real-life Catholic Church sex abuse scandal.[4] After being vindicated, Andrew brings the AIDS quilt project to Llanview, coinciding with a large donation to the project by ABC in order to show the quilt on-air.[4][5] At the quilt ceremony, Billy announces he is gay, a groundbreaking plot turn as gay characters were rarely seen at the time.[6] <templatestyles src="Template:Quote_box/styles.css" />
"I feel a big responsibility to make it work. We read about homophobia every day in the newspapers, but it's informational, not emotional. These scenes really hit you hard."[6]
—Wortham Krimmer on OLTL's 1992 homosexuality story arc
Executive Producer at the time Linda Gottlieb explained to Entertainment Weekly, "Some people will be alienated; we'll get vicious mail. But I hope that by seeing a young gay boy, getting to like him, and sympathize with his pain, audiences will understand the hurt that awful jokes, dumb remarks, and exclusionary behavior can cause. We have an hour every day — what better place to explore this than daytime?"[6] In the same interview, newcomer at the time Phillippe stated it was "the first time ever that I didn't have to force tears. My voice went all quivery and they just flowed out of me."[6] The story arc proved to be well received when it won the series' first GLAAD Award for Best Daytime Drama.[4] Neil Tadken credited the storyline as his inspiration for creating the Day of Compassion, an annual day all participating soap operas mentioned HIV or AIDS.[5]
The crisis serves to bring Andrew and Sloan to reconciliation, and prompts Andrew and Cassie to fall in love and marry. Afterwards, Cassie is unable to have children after a disastrous miscarriage. She and Andrew then adopt a son named River Carpenter. Viki divorces Clint Buchanan, and she and Sloan marry, with Andrew officiating, while Sloan lays hospitalized. He died soon afterward in 1994, just several weeks after the marriage, leading Viki to suffer another bout of dissociative identity disorder.
In 1997, Cassie and Andrew breakup after Cassie cuckolds him with Kevin Buchanan. Cassie goes on to marry Kevin before departing Llanview in 1999. Reverend Carpenter progressively appears infrequently in every year of the 2000s, primarily serving as minister for town religious functions. In 2009, he last officiates the marriage of his former mother-in-law Viki to Charlie Banks, and is last shown in 2010.

Agatha "Addie" Cramer (formerly Vickers) is the older sister of Dr. Dorian Cramer Lord and mother to Blair Cramer, and was portrayed in three extended stints by Pamela Payton-Wright from December 1991 through the OLTL series finale in 2012.[7]
Blair Daimler comes to Llanview in 1991 with a secret — she is the daughter of Dorian's older sister Addie Cramer. Mentally ill and institutionalized for years, Addie is now hidden in Blair's loft. Blair blames Dorian for her mother's illness and her own childhood in foster care; Blair is apparently the result of Addie's rape at the hands of an unknown man in the sanitarium. Seeking revenge, Blair tries to ruin Dorian by getting her aunt's signature on a document confessing to the murder of her husband Victor Lord in 1976. Blair then plots to marry Asa Buchanan to gain the financial security and power she needs to care for her mother and destroy Dorian. It is revealed that Dorian had been told that Addie had died by their parents, who had institutionalized her. Blair and Dorian reconcile, and Dorian is tearfully reunited with sister Addie, who calls her "Dori." Sweet but simple-minded Addie is placed in St. Ann's sanitarium for full-time care, but is visited often by her family.[7]
Addie surprises the Cramers on December 24, 2007 when she appears at Dorian's home La Boulaie. Apparently "recovered" due to a new medication, Addie is anxious to make up for lost time. [7][8] She sets things straight with on-again, off-again son-in-law Todd Manning and flirts with Dorian's new friend Charlie Banks. While at Roxy Balsom's beauty salon, Addie seems to recognize Miles Laurence, whom she's never met; they commiserate on the fact that they have both spent most of their lives in hospitals. On February 5, 2008, Addie is relieved by her assessment that Dorian is no longer a "Viki wanna-be," reminding Dorian of her persistent use of the Lord name, "running a newspaper like hers, naming your house," and shared romantic partners — as well as Dorian's romance with Viki's son Joey. "And I thought you weren't paying attention," notes a flabbergasted Dorian.
On June 18, 2008, the extroverted Addie reveals that she has married Dorian's ex-husband David Vickers, but her torrid "friends with benefits" relationship with David comes to a swift end when she realizes he still carries a torch for Dorian; they part amicably.[7]
With Dorian's departure in August 2011, Addie becomes the matriarch of the Cramer family in Llanview.

Roseanne Delgado (formerly Vega) is a fictional character on the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. She was portrayed by Erika Page from July 22, 1998 through July 24, 2001.
Character history
Roseanne arrived in Llanview as a mystery woman on an airplane with Will Rappaport in April 1998. Her presence intrigued him. Roseanne's arrival in Llanview was solely for the purpose of getting back her "soulmate", Cristian Vega.
Cris was shocked to see Roseanne appear in his apartment and soon realized she was the answer to his modeling project. Roseanne quickly agreed to pose nude for Cris, hoping that he would actually look at her and become interested in her.
Roseanne's arrival in Llanview also shocked her aunt, Téa Delgado. When asked by Téa if she would like to move to a hotel with Téa, Roseanne quickly decided to stay in Angel Square with Carlotta (a friend to her mother). When Cristian broke up with his girlfriend, Jessica Buchanan and moved to New York City to go to art school, Roseanne went with him and soon they became lovers. When Cris' art school scholarship was revoked, Roseanne convinced Will to send her money to pay for the tuition and keeping Cristian in New York, away from Jessica.
Roseanne eventually convinced Cristian to marry her and they did get married, although she had to lock Jessica in a closet to prevent her from interrupting the ceremony. But Jessica got out and arrived right after the ceremony and informed Cris what Roseanne had done, getting the money from Will to keep Cristian in NY and away from Jessica. Cristian was furious and wanted to get an annulment right away, but Roseanne was determined and hung on for months until she was finally convinced by Cris' brother, Antonio, to agree to the annulment.
Roseanne then fell in love with Antonio, despite the fact that he wanted to keep their relationship fun and without commitment, which she had agreed to. Roseanne was also threatened by the presence of Sophia Pelligrino, Antonio's partner, who is also in love with him. After Roseanne took the receptionist job at the police station, one day Sophia called in for help and asked her to send Antonio. Roseanne, thinking it was just a ploy to get Antonio's attention, didn't pass on the message. Antonio was furious when he found out because Roseanne could have cost Sophia her life. Angry and hurt, Roseanne agreed to become R.J.'s mole at the police station and provide any useful information. Roseanne soon regretted the decision because Antonio came to her and agreed to try to start their relationship from the beginning. Before this, however, Roseanne had gotten drunk and went home with Colin MacIver and slept with him. Not only that, she revealed that she's R.J.'s source at the police station and Colin is using that information to blackmail Roseanne. She later left town in 2001 after Colin's murder.

On June 30, 2008, Dorian schemes to break up David Vickers' marriage to her sister Addie Cramer by paying Delphina to predict misfortune should the couple stay together. Her plan backfires when Delphina instead predicts happiness in their future. Delphina also channels Mel, who again scolds Dorian for her recent deeds.

Madame Delphina returns in early 2011 to tell Natalie Buchanan where her son Liam might be, and drops hints on getting him back. She returns in August 2011 to help Rex with Gigi's "ghostly" problem.

Melvin "Mel" Hayes is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. Stephen Markle played the role from April 1997 until January 1999, with later guest appearances on July 21 and 22, 2008[13][14] and January 7, January 8, and February 8, 2010. Mel is the father of Dorothy Hayes, played by newcomer Elizabeth Röhm[15] from 1997 until 1998.
Mel Hayes is a prize-winning journalist and "loose cannon" who crosses paths with Dorian Lord in April 1997 and soon sparks a relationship. Dorian convinces Mel to seek a job at Llanview's newspaper, The Banner, and he moves into a houseboat on the Llantano River. The death of Mel's wife Muriel in a plane crash 18 months before had fueled his addiction to alcohol, which in turn has estranged him from their children, Roger, Frank, and Dorothy Hayes. Dorothy comes to Llanview in 1997 to rebuild her relationship with Mel, but leaves in 1998 after a failed relationship with Joey Buchanan. Mel and Dorian's family begin to suspect that Dorian is hiding something from her past; after Mel's investigation into the deaths of Dorian's parents reveals conflicting information, he convinces her to face her painful childhood. Dorian returns to Canton in 1998, remembering the psychological abuse she and her sisters had suffered at the hands of their mentally ill mother, Sonya. Dorian is shocked to discover that Sonya had not only killed Dorian's father, but is actually still alive and being cared for by the former Cramer nanny, Charlotte Stonecliffe. Dorian and her daughter Cassie are attacked by a deranged Sonya, who later dies with Charlotte when the house is consumed by fire. Furious that he had dredged up her past, Dorian breaks things off with Mel.
A near-death experience after Dorian is accidentally shot changes her mind. Dorian proposes to Mel suddenly at The Banner in May 1998; they marry in an impromptu wedding in the middle of the newspaper's city room. All ends badly in January 1999 when Victoria "Viki" Lord Carpenter — Mel's boss and Dorian's longtime nemesis — is on a plane with Mel and inadvertently intercepts a note from Dorian telling Mel to come home. Viki gets off the plane instead, and it crashes; Mel is killed and Dorian blames Viki. Psychic Madame Delphina later channels Mel's spirit, who advises Dorian to make peace with Viki and give up her vendetta. Feeling a great sense of peace, Dorian finally accepts Mel's death, and lets go of her animosity toward Viki over the crash.
Mel appears to Dorian as a ghost on July 21 and 22, 2008 (One Life to Live's 40th Anniversary episodes)[13][14] as Dorian grapples with whether or not to try to save Viki's life after a car crash. His words ultimately get through to Dorian, who manages to revive Viki. Subsequently in 2008 and 2009, a young woman named "Mel" (Tia Dionne Hodge) — whom Dorian comes to believe is either her Mel in another form or sent by him — appears in various guises whenever Dorian behaves less than ethically, speaking to Dorian's conscience with advice and warnings.
Mel reappears to Dorian on January 7 and 8, 2010, as new Llanview Mayor Dorian gives in to Mitch Laurence's threats against her family and fires Police Commissioner Bo Buchanan at Mitch's command. Mel returns on February 8, 2010, to convince Dorian to stop Charlie Banks from going through with his and Dorian's plan to kill Mitch.

Rebecca Lewis is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. The role was portrayed by Reiko Aylesworth from 1993–94,[12] and Jessica Kaye from May 1–20, 2009.[17]
Rebecca Lewis, follower of the Tabernacle of Joy ministry, meets and falls for Todd Manning while he is incarcerated for the rape of Marty Saybrooke. Though Todd begins to have feelings for her as well, he escapes to seek revenge on his enemies. A fugitive Todd and a captive Marty are surrounded in 1994; Rebecca talks her way inside in exchange for Marty. Todd escapes with Rebecca as a willing hostage, and she tries to persuade him to turn himself in. Surrounded again, Todd lets Rebecca go and flees; he is shot and presumed dead. Rebecca returns to Llanview and begins a romance with Powell Lord III. Meanwhile, Todd reappears alive and hides out in the gardener's shed at Llanfair, where Rebecca is an occasional babysitter, and Todd makes his presence known to her. Rebecca and Powell become engaged as a serial rapist begins terrorizing Llanview. Todd is suspected but it is ultimately revealed that Powell, threatened by Rebecca's attraction to Todd, had descended into madness and been raping women to emulate Todd and thereby win Rebecca's love. Powell is caught and institutionalized, and Rebecca leaves town.[17]
In 2009, former Llanview police detective John McBain is investigating a serial murderer who leaves clues pointing to Marty's 1993 rape. A visit to Powell, not lucid and still in a sanitarium, seems fruitless until John stumbles upon Rebecca's name and learns that a "Dr. Marty Saybrooke" has been visiting and treating Powell. On May 1, 2009 it is revealed that Rebecca has been impersonating Marty and aiding Powell in a sinister plot against people connected with Todd and Marty.[17] With her lab technician brother Dr. Kyle Lewis settled in Llanview, Rebecca helps Powell escape from the institution, imprisons John there, and helps Powell drug and abduct Todd, Marty, and Todd's ex-wives Blair Cramer and Téa Delgado with the intent of killing Todd and anyone he cares about. Powell confesses to the string of murders. John shoots Powell and saves Todd and Marty; as he pulls Blair and Téa from a gas-filled basement, Rebecca lights a match and is presumed dead in the subsequent explosion.

Clayton-Powell "Powell" Lord III, the grandson of Victor Lord's brother Clayton-Powell, is one of several Llanview University students who participates in the 1993 gang rape of Marty Saybrooke. Viki's son Kevin is also implicated but ultimately exonerated; the rape had been led by Todd Manning, and a guilty Powell had participated due to peer pressure. Powell receives a lesser sentence and later fall in love with Rebecca Lewis, who herself had seen a softer side in the imprisoned Todd and fell in love with him. A subsequent series of rapes is initially blamed on Todd, but it is revealed that Powell is the culprit, believing that he could win Rebecca's love if he became a rapist like Todd.
After being institutionalized after the rape of Marty Saybrooke, Powell bought the old fraternity house where Todd and Powell and friend Zach Rosen committed the crime that would haunt Powell. Clearly driven mad, he went to great lengths to put Kevin's room back together exactly as it was the night of the rape (right down to the fish in the tank). He and Rebecca Lewis arranged for Todd (in reality was Todd's twin Victor Lord Jr.), Tea Delgado, Blair Kramer, and Marty Saybrooke kidnapped, holding Victor "Todd" bound to the bed, threatening to kill him and Blair and Marty, as his way of atoning for his part in Marty's rape. Powell, clad in the same Frat sweater he wore the night of his crime against Marty, left Marty and "Todd" alone in the room and forced Blair and Tea to the basement at gunpoint and kept them captive in the utility room, which was leaking gas, poisoning the two women.
Rebecca later brought to Powell's attention that Chloe Brennan (Powell and Todd's mutual relative Jessica Buchanan's daughter) was in fact Todd's and Marty's granddaughter, Hope Thornhart. Powell tricked Victor into believing that he would let them go to raise Hope, but was ready to kill "Todd" at that moment. Victor goaded the cowardly cousin to do what he was threatening to do, only to be shot to death by John McBain. The basement exploded when Rebecca lit a match, but Tea, Blair, Marty, Victor, and Hope made it out alive with the help of John McBain, putting to rest the saga of insane Powell Lord III for good, along with the rape, leaving only a future with new grandchild/niece, Hope.

Luna is a funny, intelligent woman who is a Southern new-age Goddess worshiper. She believes in crystals, horoscopes and auras. She arrives in Llanview by parachute and falls in love with Max Holden. Max's eyes are set on Blair Cramer, so they decide to become business partners and open up a health spa called Serenity Springs. During that time, Max tells Luna that nothing romantic can happen between them. Luna starts her own radio show called "Love Line." In that time, she begins receiving poems and love letters from a guy named Suede Pruitt. Suede escapes from prison and makes his way to see Luna and ask for her help. He tells her he is innocent, so Luna consults the Goddess, who tells her he is telling the truth. Suede is accused of murdering his wife, Deborah, who looks like Luna. Suede tells Luna that Deborah's father, Marcus, is the killer. Max, Luna and Suede plan to set Marcus up to tell the truth. Max is shot and rushed to the hospital; Luna has to go into to a trance to save him. After she saves him, he professes his love to her. They marry in December 1993 and she helps Max with gambling problems. Luna saves Al from death and gets struck by a car. She is paralyzed, but eventually regains the ability to walk. In May 1995, she has twins, Francis Thomas and Leslie Diana. Luna's brother is in danger with a gang called the Arrows, which leads to her getting shot in the stomach in the crossfire. She survives surgery, but later becomes feverish and dies in Max's arms.
Luna returns several times over the years as a spirit. She appears to Max after his son Al dies. Al's spirit begs Luna for a way to get back to Earth so that he can be with Marcie, the love of his life. She tried to help Al adjust to being dead, but then got the idea that he can return in another man's body so he can be with Marcie. This would be tricky as the rules stated that Al couldn't tell Marcie who he was really, and that he only had three months to get Marcie to fall for the new "Al". When Dr. Michael McBain collapsed from near-death allergy to a medicine he accidentally took, Marcie resuscitated him and Al's spirit replaced Michael's dead spirit. She then reappeared in 2013 with Gabrielle Medina and Megan Gordon to help guide the people they loved to the afterlife. She appears to Cole Thornhart after he is shot by Hannah O'Connor. She tells Cole he can either choose to enter heaven or return to life.[19] Her words make Cole reconsider. When Robert Ford stumbles into Heaven pleading for help, an unprepared Luna can only save one of them and chooses Cole.

Carlotta Vega (maiden name Espinoza) is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. Patricia Mauceri originated the role from March 1995 until March 25, 2009.[21][22] Saundra Santiago took over the role from September 3, 2009[21][22] until September 8, 2011.
Carlotta is introduced in 1995 as the longtime maid and loyal confidante of Dorian Lord. Carlotta's teenage son Cristian soon becomes romantically involved with heiress Jessica Buchanan. At first, both Carlotta and Jessica's parents disapprove of the match. Carlotta's elder son Antonio, a former gang member in Llanview's Angel Square, is released from prison the same year after serving a seven-year sentence for murder. Carlotta eventually quits Dorian's employ to run her own diner. Carlotta is romantically linked at times to both Clint Buchanan and Hank Gannon.
Carlotta suffers through the disappearance and presumed death of Cristian in 2003; Antonio is also accused of killing Keri Reynolds, the mother of his child, but is later exonerated. Also in 2003, Carlotta's 15-year-old goddaughter Adriana Colón arrives in Llanview; by 2004 it is revealed that Adriana is actually the secret daughter of Carlotta's brother, crime lord Manuel Santi, and Dorian Lord.
A Cristian lookalike with no memory of his past appears in Llanview in 2004, secretly programmed by Manuel's son Tico Santi to kill Antonio — who is secretly Manuel's eldest son and heir. Carlotta is forced to admit that Antonio is actually Manuel's son with Isabella/Angelina; the attempt to murder Antonio fails as the trauma of trying to kill his own brother brings Cristian's memories flooding back. After killing Tico and being sent to prison in 2005, Cristian keeps his true identity hidden from his family. Later in 2005, Cristian's sentence is overturned; he is released from jail and reveals himself to his overjoyed mother.
