Farah Fath can't wait to breathe life into her One Life to Live character, Gigi. But it wasn't always that way.

After walking away from her Days of Our Lives, the actress wasn't so sure about her future. She tried out for the role of Sarah on One Life to Live, but was passed over.

Fortunately, this gave Farah a chance to go home and relax before getting hired as Gigi.

"Everything happens for a reason and I didn’t get the part of Sarah [on One Live to Live] for a reason," the actress said. "So I could go home and spend time in Kentucky with my family. Now, I’m really, really ready.”

So are fans of the show.
