'One Life to Live' scoop: 'General Hospital's' Ted King moves to Llanviewby
Lynette Rice EW has learned that Ted King — best known to daytime audiences for playing Lorenzo/Luiz Alcazar on
General Hospital from 2002-07 — will join
One Life to Live in January. King, who last appeared on
Prison Break from 2008-09, is currently developing his character with the
Life producers so he doesn’t know whether his character Luis will be a lover, a fighter, or both.
All ABC can say for now is that he’ll work with Kassie DePaiva (Blair Cramer). His first airdate is Jan. 21.
“We’re creating this together,” King told EW exclusively. “It was
an opportunity I couldn’t pass up on. When I was originally hired (for
GH), it
was for a short period of time. I had every attention of going back to
primetime. But during that time, I really enjoyed myself with the role –
a lot more than I thought.”
King’s also appeared on
CSI: Miami,
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and
Sex and the City
