Catherine Hickland, who many know as Lindsay Rappaport on ABC Daytime's One Life to Live, will be starting her own BlogTalkRadio show very soon on the network.

Hickland basically is starting her show in conjuction with her new book/book tour that she will be promoting. No official air date has been announced, but I will let you know the hook-up of what is to come!

Catherine Hickland is not the first person to start a show on BTR. Buckwild Becky, Justin Guarini, and Stephen Baldwin have been a part of the BTR Community as show hosts.


So....wow....even the soap stars are getting in on the BTR action!!!!

OLTL should be ashamed for the way they're using her - or rather, not using her.

I agree there! She is such a talented actress and she is now being wasted on the show.

Well, I am glad she is starting a BTR show. Definitely showing my support for her.

They should be ashamed but they don't have any obligation to use her anymore. That is one of the benefits of recurring status to the show. They can or cannot use you at anytime without any explanation at all.

That is the reason that I try to push that out there when someone says well they should just put so and so on recurring. What is happening to Hickland right now can happen to anyone on recurring. The show does not have to use you and there is nothing anyone can do about it at all.

Which is something...Y&R is very good of using Tracey E. Bregman on the show and she is recurring...yet she wants to be on recurring status. Beth Chamberlin on GL is on recurring and they use her a lot more than other recurring actors/actresses. Dylan Bruce....I started to like his character, and they said he is on recurring, but basically has been fired in a sense. So you are right....just b/c you are recurring does not mean you have a job.

The big difference is whether the show wants you on recurring or not. As you said both Beth Chamerlin and Tracey Bregman have been asked to be on contract. Both turned them down.

Catherine Hickland was put on recurring with OLTL just like Ilene Kristen was. They use them when they want them and feel no obligation to them when they don't.

Recurring is something you used to never hear. There were actors in the past who didn't have contracts with a show and they were rarely seen. But they weren't called recurring. Recurring is just a fancy word the producers came up with to make it sound better when they issued press releases. Oh we're not firing Rachel Ames. She will now be on recurring status with the show. It sounds better than saying - hey you are fired. You won't have a contract or any benefits and no guarantee of when you will work. When we want to screw you a little more we will call you.

Yep that is why Julia Barr told them they could take their offer of recurring and shove it. She wanted no part of it.

I love Catherine Hickland too but Lindsay isn't that important of a character to fight for, IMO.

Oh Steve you just had to bring up Rachel Ames. That still pisses me off to this day. Who fires their Alice Horton?

Soaps used to have recurring people, but it wasn't like it is now (as in you are too old, too expensive to pay, we don't want to use you regularly but would get crap if we wrote you off completely or something like that.) Recurring wasn't just a sneaky way to say "off contract, but not written out" of a show.

Recurring characters were the color characters the appeared occasionally on GL it was characters like Wanda (the Lewis secretary), Donna and Ginger the wacky Spaulding maids. Ryan's Hope had people like Sister Mary Joel, Jumbo or Kevin the bartender. I think Days' Dave the maitre de was the same way.

I wish Y&R would bring Catherine Hickland on as JT's mother, Lord knows he needs something to do besides babysit Reed and chase after Vikki and her family.
