Colin was killed, but his twin brother was brought on the canvas, only

the departure of a number of long-running actors, such as Laura
Koffman (Cassie), Clint Ritchie (Clint), and Strasser (again).When
Phelps and McTavish left in early 2001, they were replaced by
executive producer Gary Tomlin and writers Lorraine Broderick and
Christopher Whitesell. Many of the actors hired under Phelps' tenure
were let go. Fan favorite Gabrielle returned after a ten-year absence
and romanced Max, then Bo. Storylines became more campy, and the show
had a much-acclaimed week in May 2002 where the episodes were
broadcast live. This experimentation was mixed with truly dark tales
such as Todd selling Blair's baby, telling her the child was dead and
then passing him off as an adopted baby when he realized he was the
natural father. Another story involved Viki returning to her former
split personality Niki Smith to block out the painful memory of being
raped by Mitch Laurence (Roscoe Born). She had one child with Clint
(Natalie) and the other child (Jessica) was fathered by Mitch. Another
storyline was Antonio (Kamar de los Reyes) having a one-night stand
with a woman who turned out to be his fiancé Keri's (Sherri Saum)
mother, Liz (Barbara Niven). She then implanted her embryo into Keri,
meaning that Keri was unknowingly giving birth to her fiancé's child.
To the chagrin of many viewers, much airtime was devoted to Lindsay's
daughter, Jen (Jessica Morris).In early 2003, Malone and Josh Griffith
were rehired as head writers with Frank Valentini taking over as
executive producer. A new major storyline involved Mitch kidnapping
sisters, Natalie and Jessica, to figure out which one's heart was a
match for their grandfather. Victor had been faking his death. He was
too ill to have major confrontations with his children and died a few
weeks into the story. Dorian then showed up as Mitch's new bride, and
she became enmeshed in a storyline involving a jewel hunt as well as a
"curse" that blinded Mitch. Mitch was later killed by Jessica. Another
story involved the return of Cord and Tina's daughter, Sarah Roberts,
as rock singer Flash (Shanelle Workman). Flash dated, and even kissed,
Joey Buchanan (Bruce Michael Hall), her cousin. Joey, who was a
minister at the time, then married Jen Rappaport, but the marriage did
not last due to her affair with former husband Rex Balsom. Joey was
then sent back to London to live with Clint. One Life to Live storylines (2000–2013) Top Movies & Young Movies
