Aubrey Wentworth is a fictional character from the ABC daytime soap opera One Life to Live portrayed by Terri Conn from November 29, 2010, to December 29, 2011. After the cancellation of As the World Turns in 2010, Conn left her role as then Katie Peretti and joined the cast of One Life to Live as newly-created character Aubrey.[1] Aubrey began her time in town as a smart and beautiful con artist[2] but soon developed into a more caring person with a less criminal outlook on life.
Casting and characterization
Terri Conn was offered the new role of Aubrey Wentworth following the cancellation and series finale of the CBS daytime drama As the World Turns, less than two months earlier.[3][4] After having spent 12 years as Katie Peretti from 1998 until 2010 and a guest starring role on CBS' The Young and the Restless in 1995,[5] Conn remained a part of the genre after the show contacted her agent after releasing a casting call for the character. After screen testing with OLTL star Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord) and David Fumero (Cristian Vega), Conn was hired for the role.[6] Conn's continued career was considered a relief to the actress because of the difficult job market as well as the new direction she would be taking by playing a more mature role.[6]
Conn commented on the development of the character and the difference between her OLTL and ATWT roles in an interview with TV Guide columnist Michael Logan:
I love the name! It sounds so mature. I'm excited to play someone other than Katie, not that I didn't love her but I did play her for 12 years. It's time to spread my wings and try a different kind of character. Katie was so perky and I could never get away from that. Even toward the end they'd be going, 'Could you make her a little bit more...you know...Katie!' They never really let me grow up."[6]
The casting coincided with the hirings of former World Turns co-star Tom Degnan (Joey Buchanan)[7] and newcomer Josh Kelly (Cutter Wentworth).[8] The arrivals would permit a love quadrangle between these three characters and Kelly Cramer, played by Gina Tognoni,[6] who rejoined the show several months earlier after the cancellation of another long running CBS daytime drama, Guiding Light.[9]
