A special tribute to one of my favorite daytime actors on One Life to Live/General Hospital, Roger Howarth who plays Todd Manning.

Tribute to Roger Howarth

I first saw you
On One Life to Live
In the role of
Todd Manning
Your first major storyline
Was the rape of Marty Saybrooke
You succumbed from a horrific story
Yet managed to make
The character yours
You left the show in 2003
And was replaced by another actor
Trevor St. John
Despite how well he did in the role
What a treat it was
To have you back
As our favorite character
Todd Manning
You will always be Todd Manning

Fans could still watch you
On As the World Turns
As Paul Ryan
But it just didn't seem the same
As our favorite,
Todd Manning

Now with One Life to Live
It's nice to know
That fans can still watch
You on General Hospital

Or repeats of One Life to Live
On SoapNet

I use to watch the show daily when Todd first appeared and yes he sure did come a long way, that's for sure. One life to live remains one of my favorite soaps of all times. Nice tribute to Todd Manning. Thank you for sharing.:)
