The Top Tale (Soap Opera Digest)

"Even though the daparture of One Life to Live's Kevin Stapleton was announced weeks ago, fans are still stuffing our mailbag with letters begging for him to stay. "Kevin Stapleton is Kevin Buchanan. There is no other," argues one avid viewer. They are quick to say, however, that they have nothing against Timothy Gibbs (Gary, Another World), who will be replacing Stapleton. As one Liver puts it, "Even though Gibbs is an outstanding actor, Stapleton's shoes will be hard to fill." No matter what, these Llanview visitors all wish Stapleton well in his future endevors."
