And, of course, the One Life to Live character is in Paris. Just not the one in France.

As Emmy-winner Erika Slezak - who was last seen August 17 in an emotionally frazzled state, asking for a ticket on the first flight out of town - says she's been in Paris... Texas.

"And she's loving every minute of it," Slezak told TV Guide. "Her new family at the diner has no idea who she is, what she's running from or that she has money. She has none of the problems and responsibilities of home. I think the fans will enjoy this — doesn't everybody have that wish to get away from it all?"

Slezak, who has a stellar track record when it comes to romantic chemistry on One Life to Live, is getting a new love interest, as well: Brian Kerwin. He joins the cast tomorrow as Charlie, a blue-collar contractor and a regular at the diner.
