Linda Dano was added to the cast in late 1999, after the cancellation of "Another World". Dano had played a supporting role on "OLTL" twenty years earlier, Gretel Cummings. The character, renamed Rae Cummings, returns to Llanview. Dano appears as Rae on all four of ABC's soaps at the time—"General Hospital", "All My Children" and "Port Charles" in an attempt to promote all four shows to viewers of the individual shows. Similarly, actress Robin Christopher resurrected her "AMC" character Skye Chandler as a "OLTL" vixen, before taking the same character to "GH".
