Unknown Actress
Megan Buchanan
June-September 1999

This actress played Megan in Jessica's visions as a little girl. While Jessica was in a coma she had dreams of her and her baby in the gazebo outside her house like she did with her mother Viki every year on the first day of the summer. Later on when Jessica was found out to be the one who stalked Dorian, she had another vision of her and Megan in the gazebo.

 

Unknown Actors
Al Holden
April 1987-July 1988

Al was born to Gabby, who gave him to Tina because she believed Max (the baby's father) was going to marry Tina. Tina was thought to be dead in Llanview but she reappeared and let everybody believe Al was her baby and Cord was the father. Tina and Cord named him Albert Cordero Roberts. When Gabby learned the truth she came to Llanview, exposed Tina's scheme and she and Max took him back and named the baby Alonzo Holden. As a teen his last name was changed again, this time to Alonzo Buchanan. Since Al was rebeling against his father Max, he let Asa Buchanan adopt him after he married his mom, Gabby. More than likely it was twins in the role, but we are unsure since we have no actor names. They were a part of history during their time on OLTL. The storyline of Gabby giving her baby away was a big storyline and they got lots of air time.

Tina and Gabrielle were not the best of friends, especially after Gabby came to live with Tina and Cord, so she could play Nanny to her son. She then turned on Tina and told Cord the truth about who Al belonged too. Cord was heart broken over losing "his" son and for Tina lying to him. {Captures courtesy Fiona Fest: A Fan Fete For Fabulous Fiona Hutchison}

Max was upset with Gabrielle for not telling him that they had a child together. When he found out that he was a father, he went right over to see his son. {Captures courtesy Fiona Fest: A Fan Fete For Fabulous Fiona Hutchison}

 

Unknown Actresses
Jamie Reynolds Vega
2003

Baby Stephanie (later named Jamie) was born prematurely, it seemed, to Keri Reynolds. Keri was carrying the baby after an embryo transplant. The baby was actually her mother's (Liz) and another man's. Keri had just recently found out that Liz had slept with Keri's fiance, Antonio. Keri wouldn't let either one in to the delivery room, or allow them to see the baby in the hospital.


The baby was doing remarkably well. Tests revealed that she wasn't premature. Further investigation proved that the baby's father was indeed Antonio, but Keri was her mother. Keri had been pregnant when they did the embryo transplant. That embryo did not survive, but Keri gave birth to her daughter, with Antonio. Unfortunately, when the baby was about a week old, they headed out of town with Liz. The plane went down and they were all presumed dead. However, recently it was proved that Keri and Stephanie survived. {pics courtesy Cataz)

The young actress(es) in the role played Jamie when we saw Keri on the phone with RJ, but soon after the character was back in Llanview, a new actress was seen in the role. {pics courtesy Cataz)

 

Unknown Actresses
Jamie Reynolds Vega
June-July 2003

Keri and her baby lived away from Llanview for several months, always in contact with her father, RJ. After discovering the baby wasn't her mother's, Keri decided to rename the child Jamie, after her father, Randolph James (RJ). Keri and Jamie returned to Llanview in June 2003, stunning everyone who thought they were dead. On June 18, 2003, Keri dropped the bomb on Antonio: he was Jamie's father, and she was Jamie's mother.

 

Unknown Actresses
Jamie Reynolds Vega
August 1, 2003-present

Yet another actress appeared as Jamie on August 1. This baby seemed to be a bit older, most likely closer to a year old. Again, it is unknown why the role was recast.

 

Unknown Babies
Ace Buchanan (Adam Chandler III)
March 24, 2004-July 2004

We are unsure about who the baby actor/actresses are who played baby Ace. We know at least 2 different looking babies played the part. We are unaware if any of them are related to one another. Until we find out for sure who is who, we will list all Ace photos in order of appearance. If you have any information on any of the young actor or actresses in these roles, please contact us.

In March 2004, AMC and OLTL launched a storyline unlike any other on the soaps. It began on All My Children and then moved to One Life to Live. Then for about two weeks, it was told on both shows simultaneously. This was the ad that was in magazines for the storyline. It featured two babies and the tag "Stolen at Birth." From what we can tell, neither of these babies actually appeared on OLTL or AMC. The were just used for the promo.

Kelly's brother, Paul Cramer, stole Babe Chandler's little boy. Kelly wanted a baby to replace the baby boy that she miscarried. So, she begged Paul to get her one before her husband, Kevin, could ever find out. Paul handed the baby over to Kelly and told her to take good care of him. Kelly said, "I can't believe your mommy didn't want you." This statement was so untrue. Babe wanted her baby boy more than anything, Paul played God and stole this baby from his mother.

Kevin and Kelly decided to name the baby after Kevin's grandfather, Asa Buchanan. His nickname is Ace. Click here to see Ace's birth on AMC and other scenes of Ace on AMC. {3-2004}

Kevin and Kelly took Ace all over Llanview within the first few weeks of his life to show him off to everybody. {4-2004}

Ace's check up. He was a healthy baby boy. Kevin made the comment that a mistake must have been made. Ace had the wrong type of blood. {5-2004}

Kelly doesn't know what to do now. Someone is sending Kevin letters and telling him that Ace doesn't belong to him. Kelly is lying all the time trying to keep a hold of him. She wants the baby, even if Kevin doesn't. But she can't let Kevin know the baby doesn't belong to either of them.

This is Kristen Alderson and her younger brother Eddie who portray Starr Manning and Matthew Rappaport.

Starr was very excited about having a baby brother. However, once he came to be with the family all the time, Starr began resenting him. She was always the focus and now he gets all the attention. She's constantly searching for a way to win her parents' attention.

Kristen and Eddie haven't shared too many scenes on OLTL. In the summer of 2002, they were seen onscreen twice. Starr had Matthew over to play. He was very excited to see her pet iguana. {pics courtesy of childstarlets.com}

Kristen is enjoying her onscreen brother {Ryan and Rylie Cramer}, even if Starr isn't. In late 2002, she had her first scene where she said all of her lines with one of the boys on her lap. {pics courtesy of childstarlets.com}

By 12/23/03, just a year later, Jack {Christian Thomas Ashdale} was quite a bit older. Here are Jack and Starr at Christmas, 2003. {pics courtesy of www.cataz.net}
