GET TO KNOW

The good people of Llanview, Pennsylvania, lead complicated lives. In a town of questionable marriage ethics, teenagers grow up fast and fall in love quickly. The quiet simplicity of small-town living on the Llantano River is frequently upset by an over-abundance of multiple personalities who disturb the peace. Despite the jealousy, betrayal, and occasional baby-swapping, Llanview is where the Buchanan, Lord, and Cramer families struggle to retain the strong family ties that have always united them.

Multiple Emmy winner Erika Slezak portrays the town matriarch, Viki Lord Davidson, who's constantly at odds with longtime nemesis Dorian (Robin Strasser). Ensuing generations complete a cast that highlight the tempestuous relationship between Blair Cramer and Todd Manning (played by Kassie DePaiva and Trevor St. John), the continuing saga of Rex and Gigi, (JP Lavoissir and Farah Fath) and the electricity of young couple Starr and Cole. (Kristen Alderson and Brandon Buddy).
