LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Erika Slezak and Robin Strasser are among the cast members who signed up to appear in an online version of their canceled U.S. soap opera, "One Life to Live."

Prospect Park, the production company behind the Web venture, announced Tuesday it has closed numerous deals with former "OLTL" stars and production executives to work on The Online Network version of their former daytime drama.

So far, Slezak will return as Victoria Lord Buchanan; Strasser as Dorian Lord; Tuc Watkins as David Vickers; Robert S. Woods as Bo Buchanan; Kassie DePaiva as Blair Cramer;

Jerry verDorn as Clint Buchanan; Florencia Lozano as Tea Delgado; Melissa Archer as Natalie Buchanan Banks; Hillary B. Smith as Nora Buchanan; Kelley Missal as Danielle Manning; Josh Kelly as Cutter Wentworth and Andrew Trischitta as Jack Manning.

The company did not say if Michael Easton, Roger Howarth and Kristen Alderson will reprise their "OLTL" roles of John McBain, Todd Manning and Starr Manning on the revived version of the show. The trio have been playing their "OLTL" characters full-time on sister soap "General Hospital" since last year after ABC canceled "OLTL" and "All My Children."

DePaiva and Lozano have also appeared on "GH" as their "OLTL" alter egos.

Prospect Park said more deals to bring other actors back to "OLTL" are expected to close in the coming weeks.

No debut date has been announced yet for the series.
