In the new issue of Soap Opera Digest, Roger Howarth (Franco, GH) looks back on his nearly 25-year career in soaps, crediting Erika Slezak (ex-Viki, OLTL) with helping him adjust to the medium when he started playing OLTL’s Todd in 1992. “Her stamp of approval kept me employed there,” he says. Howarth also shares his thoughts on GH leading ladies Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth) and Michelle Stafford (Nina), the cancellations of ATWT (where he played Paul) and OLTL, his surprising-to-him veteran status and the truth behind Franco’s longer locks.
