7/5—OLTL—Marty Saybrooke

What is happening with Susan Haskell?



Her character, Marty Saybrooke was recently put on the back burner when she ended her relationship with John McBain.  There was a brief rumor circulating the Internet that Brandon Buddy, who plays her son Cole Thornhart, was leaving the show and speculation was that maybe this would be her swan song also; but that rumor was recently debunked as some kind of a Twitter invasion/hacking or whatever.  So, we still don't know anything definite.

There was never any real spark between Marty Saybrooke and John McBain and I think most OLTL fans wanted John back together with Natalie Buchannan Banks, so at least that was resolved.

In the meantime, Susan Haskell's significant other, in real life, Thorsten Kaye, also known as Zach Slater of All My Children, decided against relocation to California with AMC.  He was quoted as saying he didn't plan to be an actor and has always been open to other possibilities. He plays the part of a doorman in a film called "Occupant" that looks VERY interesting. I've watched the trailers and it looks scary.  I look forward to hearing more about it in the near future.

I have been a HUGE fan of Thorsten Kaye since he played the part of Patrick Thornhart on OLTL in 1995-1997.  If there really is a possibility that we can make our fantasies come true, mine would be that Patrick wasn't really killed in Ireland (or San Diego??), as the story goes, and that he will return to Llanview and to Marty and Cole.  How could there EVER be a better storyline than that!

ABC—now is your chance—make it happen!
