Susie Bedsow Horgan Stepping Down As ONE LIFE TO LIVE Co-Head Writer

Susie Bedsow Horgan has decided to step down as co-head writer for ONE LIFE TO LIVE, a post she shared with Thom Racina.

"We want to thank Susie for her contribution to ONE LIFE TO LIVE," Prospect Park said in a statement. "She is moving on and we wish her well. We have an extraordinary writer’s room at the show and we are looking forward to fans seeing what they've been up to when we launch on April 29th."

Racina remains on board as OLTL headwriter, but there's no word yet on whether or not Horgan will be replaced.

Other previously announced ONE LIFE TO LIVE writers include Jessica Klein, Alex Douglas and Jeff Wilber.

Susan Bedsow Horgan Named ONE LIFE TO LIVE Head Writer

Susan Bedsow Horgan has signed on to become head writer of The Online Network's new ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Prospect Park, the company behind TOLN, confirmed earlier this week the return of ONE LIFE TO LIVE and ALL MY CHILDREN, with production on both scheduled to begin in February.  Bedsow just made the deal a few days ago.  Thom Racina will join her as co-head writer.

Bedsow Horgan attended UC-Irvine as a Drama major and was a professional actress for 10 years before her career in soaps started. Her very first job was a short-term gig in 1976 as a production secretary for ONE LIFE TO LIVE. She was hired by GUIDING LIGHT in October 1977 and helped the show expand from 30 to 60 minutes a day. She moved up to Associate Producer and eventually transitioned to the same role for AS THE WORLD TURNS.
