who joined the show after their character was 16 years old and are
therefore not profiled on this page. Older actors are typically
featured on numerous websites. Our site prefers to profile the lesser
known child actors.

Eddie is the younger brother of OLTL's young actress Kristen Alderson, who portrays the youngest contract role on daytime TV, Starr Manning. This was his first daytime role. He is pictured here with his costar and on screen dad, Larry Lau {Sam Rappaport}. It was later found out that Bo Buchanan was Matthew's father. |

|
Matthew's main storylines on OLTL surround his family interactions. His mom, Nora, continues to be involved with "Dr. Troy," one of Matthew's favorite people. Matthew wasn't too sure about them getting married, however, since he knows that most Llanview weddings don't end with a happy union. {photo on left by Jim Warren, courtesy Soaps in Depth} |

Matthew's main goal is like many soap kids: he wants his mom and dad back together and he wants to live as one happy family with them. In this scene he was very proud. He got his mom (Nora) and dad (Bo) to agree to take a family trip together. Matthew referred to it as a family vacation. |

Starr loves her parents very much and she wishes that they will get back together. Starr exposed her father as a fraud when he faked his death. She didn't mean to hurt him but she played the pink tape with Todd's confession at his wedding to Tea. She had to deal with his running away from the law and not seeing him for two years. At first she supported her mother's relationship with "Uncle" Max but when Todd became a possibility again she began to hate Max and do anything in her power to break them up. With parents like hers she couldn't have grown up without learning a trick or two. She tore up Max's clothes and blackmailed Nigel. There's more to come. Let's just say that no one expects this child to grow up and be a nun. If she is anything like her parents she will be far from it. {pics courtesy childstarlets.com} |

Starr's parents have been together on and off since she's been alive. They've now been married three times, but she's still having to scheme to bring them together on a regular basis. {photo on left by Jim Warren, courtesy Soaps in Depth, photo on right courtesy childstarlets.com} |
