Feb. 1 (UPI) -- One Life to Live alum Hillary B. Smith is heading to ABC's General Hospital.

GH executive producer Frank Valentino posted on Twitter a short video clip of a woman dressed in a black robe flinging open a door and yelling, "Nora Buchanan, my chambers immediately!"

Smith is then seen replying, "Yes, your honor," as she walks past excited actress Rebecca Budig, who declares: "That was Hillary B. Smith! She's coming to General Hospital!"

The Daytime Emmy Award winner began playing Nora in 1992. Budig plays Hayden Barnes on GH. How and when Smith's character will be introduced on GH has not yet been revealed.

One Life to Live ran on ABC for 43 years before its cancellation in 2012. It was briefly revived as a web series in 2013.

Smith's former OLTL co-stars Roger Howarth and Michael Easton have been working on GH for the past few years as various characters, including, for a little while, their OLTL alter-egos Todd Manning and John McBain.
