“Nora Gannon, in my chambers, right now!” We know all you “One Life to Live” (OLTL) fans have waited a long time to hear those words. You won’t have to wait much longer, Hillary B. Smith is on her way to Port Charles.

An Early Valentine for OLTL fans From Valentini

OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini took to Twitter to let fans know The Powers That Be (TPTB) hear all the passionate “All My Children” (AMC) and OLTL fans out there who want their shows back. ABC exec Nathan Varni recently said that ABC was considering bringing AMC and OLTL characters on to the “General Hospital” (GH) story canvas. And now it’s happened!

Nora Gannon (Hillary B. Smith), the iconic Llanview staple, town go-to lawyer, wife of Bo Buchanan, will appear in Port Charles! She’s already been on set, as evidenced by Valentini’s Twitter video, which you can see in full below.

What This Means

The first OLTL character on GH could open the door for more characters from AMC and OLTL coming to Port Charles. We fans will let GH know how pleased we are by this, and before you know it, we could have AMC and OLTL back on our screens!

A Beloved Fan Fave

Smith gained a legion of devoted fans for her portrayal of Llanview heroine Nora Gannon for 21 years. She won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1994 for the role.
