Some of the most well-known stars from One Life to Live -- Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord), Jerry verDorn (Clint Buchanan), and Mark Derwin (Dr. Ben Davidson) -- are getting together for an online reunion meant to help raise funds for a good cause.
The trio has partnered with Daytime Stars and Strikes and The Locher Room for the virtual event, set to take place on Thursday, September 17, at 2PM EST. All proceeds from the $15 viewings will go to the Autism Society of America, which aims to improve the lives of all affected by autism by providing advocacy, education, information and referral, support, and community at national, state, and local levels through a strong nationwide network of affiliates.
Says the event's official website, "Daytime Stars and Strikes is teaming up with [former CBS publicist] Alan Locher and The Locher Room for a private pay to view session with Soap Opera legend Erika Slezak (Viki) and two of her leading men -- Mark Derwin (Ben) and Jerry verDorn (Clint)! Join the fun and watch these actors reminisce about the characters, the chemistry, the moments that shocked daytime television, and the friendships built along the way. Be a part of history! Be a part of helping those on the Autism Spectrum!"
