Todd Manning is and always will be _my_ favorite villain, he had the look and the attitude _(minus the rape.)_ *Todd Manning will always be a very memorable character.*
thatdopegirl my mom watch these when I was a kid and I vaguely remember them today but I just remember the one thing about Todd Manning back then he looked an awful lot like Kurt Cobain. I read on Wikipedia somewhere the Todd Manning's theme song is "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails but I don't ever remember hearing it. The Wikipedia would go on to say that the chorus is what he based his life on: "I'd rather die, than give you control." Roger Howarth will always be Todd Manning.
followfornothing My mom watched them too and I began to love it after staying home from school and watching it xD. I started watching it with Trevor St. John but I learned about the original Todd and when Roger Howarth came back I was so excited. He will always be Todd!
thatdopegirl My mom started watching because her psychologist told her that it would take her mind off the fact that my father (who was in the Navy) was gone 6 months at a time. All My Children, One Life To Live, Loving and General Hospital are the soaps mom used to watch before Port Charles and all the newer crap. Alot of people won't remember 1 or 2 of those but they were on ABC and I will never forget them. Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez came from one of those Soaps, I think it was General Hospital.
followfornothing, yes, he's a marvelous character, man. One of the best written characters ever. I got hooked on him as a kid too. He made watching the soap opera a cool thing for a guy to do when it came to him. As for his theme music, the Wikipedia article isn't saying that "Head Like a Hole" is Todd's theme music. It's saying it was used during the Todd Manning rape scene (when he rapes Marty). Edited: To tweak post.
If this was actually real, he would have been dead or have gotten a serious concussion from this. Plus, the fact he was hit in the back of this head he wouldn't of gotten the scar on his cheek.
omg! my mum used to watch the soaps while she cleaned the house but i hated them until Todd. he was such a heartthrob back then. this is the scene that hooked me for a short time. i remember watching this with my mum i was only 8 years old then in '93. needless to say the cleaning only got done during the commercials during the original Todd saga. Oh nostalgia. i have to send this to my mum.
See THIS is the Todd Manning they needed when Mitch Lawrence came back to town. He met comedian Todd. This Todd DEFINITELY would have unalived Mitch for messing with Viki. This Todd was mean AF!
I met both Susan & roger by coincidence at the same time in 94. I was a freshman in hs in ny. Susan i only got to say hi to b/c she was dating my history teachers son so she came in to talk about the storyline. Rh i actually had a brief convo w/ & i was so nervous. Our class went to see a play in nyc. While waiting in the lounge i spotted him at a table reading what looked to be a script. I pointed him out to a friend said he was on oltl ( she didn't watch soaps) & she replied yea im not surprised he's really hot. So i walked over chunky 13 year old catholic school girl. I was so smooth lol i asked him for the time! Lol. He looked up ( thud more gorgeous in person) looked that i had a watch on but still told me the time. So i said ok im a fan i love todd my mom & i watch everyday & we love todd. So he was really sweet told me that was great & to keep watching some great stuff was coming up. I didnt want to annoy him so i told him i loved todd & thanked him for talking to me. So i told my big mouthed friend he was there & like 70 teenaged girls ran to the lobby & on my life she screamed todd id let u rape me! I was horrified & he pretty much booked it outta there. So i can attest personally those rape me todd stories in the press from fans to him are 💯 percent true. He also in person looked like he was like 17. Wish id gotten a photo or autograph but my not wanting to bother him turned into a mob unintentionally of my classmates surrounding the poor guy. Im just lucky i got to talk to him in person.
This was so classic! I think RH popularity is what kept him around for years but the “Scar” was not intended to be a Long term story. It started here in the summer/fall of 93. Played out till the end. It was great continuity, as most characters changes to physical attributes are temporary.
That is my beautiful luna blaming herself when sh was just trying help Marty when she died I was heartbroken but she was just to good for this world as they day
Well this clip was taken in 1993-94. But One life to live will soon be online though Hulu. Starting mid April. Todd (the guy in the video) will still be on it. And Marty will more than likely come back as well.
Crazy how the writers completely turned the character "Todd" around in the years following this storyline. I wish they had done more with Todd & Tea (Taya)? Florencia Lazano's character...I think they missed a big opportunity for a great redemption storyline.
They tried to redeem him constantly.... and even tried to pair him with Marty (which is why Howarth left the show the first time). Todd was always meant to be what he is in this scene... a monster.
I do agree...although I started watching after the Marty stuff and was never exposed to that "Todd" but knowing what happened, yea they kinda blew that one.@@marcelparker6755
What magic powers does Powell have that he is always able to get into locked doors? Marty couldn't get into the Rodi's door but Powell had no problem. At the Tabernacle, Todd locked the door after Marty went inside yet when Powell came by he had no problem getting in???
In this scene, Powell was standing was standing with the door open. The door can be opened from inside the building but not outside.. which is where Marty is. As for the church, Powell had a key. They showed him using the key to open the door. He was apart of some club thingy which is why he had a key to access the building.
DOD I just hear p Matt what are you doing you kidding. She screaming for terrified and this guy is just standing there watching this poor woman back the wall and luna is the one helping.
Correction again did for DOD Marty for Matt so comment again did I just hear "Marty what are you doing" when plain that Todd is threating and attacking her you have got to be kidding she literally has her back against a wall if there any room the poor woman curled up in a fetal position and luna is shout stop leave her alone and that guy is just standing in the door blocking the exit saying Marty what are you doing instead of a pulling Todd off of Marty B going to get help Do something dont stand there watching luna endanger herself and marry again what if she got knocked down and stayed down what if that piece of wood was not there she would have be raped again traumatized even further and this time it would someone's fault besides the rapist
I wish I was old enough to have seen this but I started watching OLTL around 2003. Good clip and I love Roger as Todd

Explain logic on a soap opera ?? 😂😂
@@MrCraigblaze you literally can’t but I tried 😂
I remember when this first aired and I didn't like Todd on OLTL but love him on GH Roger Howarth character is crazy hilarious lol 😆

Todd was always fighting the monster inside of him.
Yeah.
It's a soap opera called one life to live.

Todd Manning? More like Tod Howard oh
She was cruel too. Women know how to push mens buttons but they never do anything wrong and it is always the man to blame?
