Alex back on "One Life To Live"

Oh I'm in heaven now. Hilariously homicidal Alex Olanov is on her way back to One Life To Live soon, according to actress Tonja Walker's Facebook page.

Now, if you know anything at all about me, you know I love the sharp, bitchy manipulators on soaps...so long as they're fun and aren't desperate. Alex started off desperate, but grew into a character that could really play with the big boys, someone who could really challenge Asa Buchanan's bravado. It's a role you don't see much on soaps anymore, and I'll be thrilled to have Alex back.

Walker has played the role of the former FAB Agent on and off since 1990, and spent much of that time weaseling her way in and out of numerous schemes along the way, including trying to drown her rival Cassie Callison by tricking Cassie onto a canoe and tipping it over, marrying mob boss Carlo Hesser and taking over his empire when he was presumed dead, using his twin brother Mortimer Bern to impersonate him as a figurehead, and being elected mayor of Llanview, despite the opinions of the majority of the community.

What's she back for this time? Well...nobody knows. All we know is she begins taping March 13. Is this enough to get me watching again? Only if they slow down on the whiplash-inducing pace the show's taken on the last couple years. I don't need to have twelve 30-second scenes per segment. Amazingly enough, I have the attention span to watch 3-minute scenes! You know like, what used to be the standard. Amazing, eh?
