Kim Zimmer Comes to One Life to Live

August 17, 2010 7:22 AM By SOAPnet.com

Kim Zimmer is coming to OLTL!Huge news! Kim Zimmer, best known for her portrayal of fiery, impulsive drama addict Reva Shayne on Guiding Light, is coming to One Life to Live! Kim will reprise her role of superstar photographer Echo DiSavoy this fall. For those that need a memory refresh, Kim played Echo on One Life in 1983. Echo stirred the pot by having an affair with Viki's then husband, Clint -- so you can definitely expect her to play a big role in Viki and Clint's lives upon her return.

Kim is a multiple Emmy winner for Outstanding Lead Actress -- she's received four statuettes for her work at Guiding Light. Her resume is impressive; she's appeared on Santa Barbara, The Doctors, Babylon 5, Seinfeld, Designing Women, MacGyver, Models, Inc, and in the film Body Heat. And did you know that she had ANOTHER OLTL stint prior to her 1983 run as Echo? In 1978, she played Bonnie Harmon.

 

What do you think of this news? And what do you think is in store for Echo upon her return?

AAHHHH, i am so excited Kim will be on OLTL!!!! I only started watching the show about a year before GL went off the air, and have grown to LOVE it! I am super happy to have a show to replace another that I had watched since I was a little girl with my mother, and to see some of my favorite actors move onto OLTL since GL went off the air makes the show that much better for me!!!!
All you haters should relax and give this much experienced actress a shot before complaining about a "newbie". She may be new to OLTL but she is no rookie for sure and will be a GREAT addition to the cast!!!!
