Michael Easton (Caleb) became the first cast member to sign with a new soap. He was approached by several different soaps, but chose One Life To Live, where he now plays John McBain. He debuted on October 1, 2003, and moved across country to New York to take the role. His character has become very important to the show, as John is central to the much talked about John/Evangeline/Natalie triangle.
Michael also recently revealed that he married his longtime girlfriend Ginevra Arabia in August 2004! Congratulations to them both!

Kelly Monaco (Livvie) was the second to sign with another soap. She was also given several offers, and made the move to General Hospital, where she now plays Samantha "Sam" McCall. Her debut was on October 3, 2003, the same day as the final episode of Port Charles. She has also become very essential to the storyline, with her character becoming a love interest for popular leading men Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Steve Burton (Jason).

Kelly and her partner professional dancer Alec Mazo are the WINNERS of the first season of ABC's smash hit summer reality series Dancing With the Stars. They worked dilligently on ballroom dances for two months and performed live for six consecutive weeks. The show paired celebrities with professional dancers in what turned out to be the number one summer tv series. Judges scores were combined with call-in viewer votes to eliminate one couple per week. After facing low scores and harsh criticism from the judges, as well as a wardrobe malfunction, Kelly proved that with hard work and determination you can do anything you set your mind to, earning the show's only perfect score of 30 for the final freestyle dance. Congratulations Kelly, the entire soap community is very proud of you.

On September 20th, there was a danceoff between Kelly and runner up John O'Hurley, due to the controversy surrounding Kelly's win (the fact that she was an ABC employee and that viewers didn't get to vote on the final performances). In this danceoff judges gave comments but they were not counted in the final scores. Kelly performed wonderfully, but sadly lost to John by less than 1% of the vote. However she did raise $124,000 through votes for the charity of her choice, The Katrina Hurricane Relief. Kelly, you will always be a winner in our hearts, and you are STILL the winner of the series! She is now enjoying her status as a household name, and recently appeared on MTV's Punk'd as Ashton Kutcher's latest victim.
More exciting Kelly news! Not only has Kelly been nominated for a 2006 Daytime Emmy in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for General Hospital, but she has also been named to host the awards show along with Dancing With the Stars host Tom Bergeron! Congratulations Kelly on this fantastic news! The awards show will air on ABC April 28th.

She recently signed a deal with Days of Our Lives to be the new Billie Reed. Her first airdate was September 13, 2004. This was not the first time she auditioned for the role, as she bares uncanny resemblance to Lisa Rinna, who formerly played the role of Billie.

Brian Gaskill (Rafe) signed with The Bold & The Beautiful not long after the cancellation. He played Oscar "Ozzie" Marone starting in September 2003, but the character was cut back to recurring in 2004, and then eliminated.

She was also the subject of various rumors about a possible return to daytime, but nothing has panned out so far. She also appears in husband Brian's indepedent film Guarding Eddy.
Since the cancellation, Erin has also landed parts in two comedy pilots that failed to get picked up. In 2004 it was an NBC show entitled D.O.T.S., about a group of meter maids.

Her name came up right away, and ABC Daytime President Brian Frons has said that "Erin would be a groovy Courtney!" Erin herself said that she has been informally approached about taking the role, but unfortunately, the decision was made to kill the character off instead. Lets keep our fingers crossed for more daytime opportunities for Erin! She is currently filming the indie "Americanizing Shelley", which is due for release in 2006.
