SOD - Who's Coming, Who's Going - Tea For Two: OLTL's Hoawarth Out, Lozano In :
While OLTL fans last saw Tea Delgado, she was tremulously accepting Todd's hand
to get the heck out of Llanview, back in February, 2000. Todd (and his portrayer, Roger Howarth)
returned that summer, but there's been virtually no word from the woman he once paid $5 million
to marry him (so he could get custody of Starr from Blair). Until Now.
In an exclusive announcement to Digest, an ABC spokesperson has confirmed that
Florencia Lozano has inked a deal to return - to her role of Tea. When? So far, no first air date
has been released, but expect the big reunion to occur this spring, perhaps as early as April.
And what a coincidence that it's all happening just as a spokesperson for Howarth has confirmed
that the actor is getting ready to leave again "in June." As previously reported, and expanded upon
on his Official Fan Club Web site, while Howarth's contract ends in May, he will now stay
through June to "tie up storyline for the show and his character".
Assuming Lozano's return is also a brief one, expect her to leave right around that time, too.
Last year, it wouldn't have seemed likely: Both Executive Producer Gary Tomlin and Lozano denied
any interest in her returning to the show. Said Tomlin regarding the possibility,
"No.When I first came in I got, like 78 letters from three people [about Tea].
There isn't any plan for that." But he hedged: "I'm not saying that couldn't happen in the long range."
And Lozano, for her part, wasn't interested in revisiting the character. "Three years was plenty.
It's very challenging during that time to see if you can do it. I want to be challenged in other ways"
she told Digest last summer. Still, she admitted having a stable paycheck was a consideration.
That's a big deal," she said. Will the two walk off into the sunset together? So far, there's no word
on plot developments. Fans have been speculating that Ms. Delgado could return with another
little Manning, although that seems an unlikely setup because Todd just had his second tot with Blair.
But there's no doubt - however Tea returns to town, sparks will fly in all directions.
