OLTL Fan Club Luncheon

by Maryann Raymond

Congratulations to Ben and Viki Davidson (Mark Derwin and Erika Slezak) who were chosen as "Best Couple" by the One Life To Live Fan Club again this year. The winners were announced on Sunday, May 6th at the Annual One Life To Live Fan Club Luncheon.

Viki and Ben were sole winners in the Best Couple category this year, overtaking Bo and Nora who were tied by Viki and Ben last year and had previously won this award for several years.

Mark Derwin along with Kale Brown were chosen as "Best Supporting Actor" again this year. Congratulations to them both for their hard work and great performances this past year. Their portrayal as brothers Ben and Sam was the absolute best in Daytime. Kale was notified of his win and posted this response on his official website. It's reprinted here with the permission of his FC President, Allie Jenkins.

"Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart. I loved playing Sam Rappaport for you and am very happy that you enjoyed it. And, yeah, to share it once again with brother Derwin conjures only one thought in my mind:...Who's Mark Derwin?"

Kale (whose no longer on the show) continues to be greatly missed by his many fans and former castmates.

"Wild About Harry"!

"Harry The Hook" who is portrayed by Ed Kershan was a big hit at the Fan Club Luncheon. He was delighted and thrilled by the fans response to him and the standing ovation he received when introduced. Ed made his first appearance in the recurring role of "Harry The Hook Henderson", Ben's old mob buddy, last year on the 7th of June, 2000. Lets hope he makes many more appearances on the show again real soon.
