Roger Howarth is currently airing on The Young and the Restless, but many ABC soap fans remember him as Todd Manning on One Life to Live. He has been in the genre since the early 1990s, and his pairing with Kassie DePaiva remains one of his best.
Key Takeaways
- Roger Howarth and Kassie DePaiva made a joint appearance.
- Their 1990s supercouple status still resonates.
- After OLTL ended, both actors briefly reprised their roles on GH.
- Both remained active in soaps following the cancellation of OLTL.
Howarth and DePaiva Reunite
Howarth and DePaiva have a legion of Todd Manning and Blair Cramer fans, even though OLTL has been off the air for over a decade. They were one of the supercouples of the ’90s that resonated with viewers, despite Todd’s heinous actions. There was just something Blair saw in him that virtually no one else could see back then, and yet, decades later, they are still doing appearances together.
Howarth and DePaiva recently hosted a fan event. The pair posed for a photo together, which was shared on X by DePaiva. It was at Uncle Vinny’s Comedy Club, a venue often used for soap fan events on the East Coast.
Where Have They Been?
Since OLTL ended, it’s been a bumpy ride for Roger Howarth and Kassie DePaiva. The two initially appeared on General Hospital as Todd Manning and Blair Cramer, but their characters were later axed due to a lawsuit over the use of the characters.
Howarth has played a bevy of roles since arriving in Port Charles, including Franco Baldwin and Austin Gatlin-Holt. DePaiva only made a few appearances as Blair before returning to the role on the OLTL reboot for a while. She did appear as one of Martin Grey’s (Michael E. Knight) ex-wives on GH.
Currently, Howarth is airing on Y&R as Matt Clark, where he officially debuted on Halloween. DePaiva went on to play Eve Donovan on Days of Our Lives from 2014 to 2023, with intermittent appearances.
Despite their other roles and characters in the soap world, Todd and Blair have a steadfast fan base.
