Blair Cramer
Blair Cramer is a fictional character from the American daytime drama series One Life to Live, played since 1993 by Kassie DePaiva. Introduced as the niece of lead antagonist Dr. Dorian Cramer Lord, the role was originated by Mia Korf from 1991 through 1993.
DePaiva played the role for nearly 20 years on ABC Daytime, from December 17, 1993, until the original OLTL finale episode January 13, 2012, and in several guest appearances on the last original ABC daytime serial General Hospital from March 2, 2012, through December 3, 2012.
DePaiva reprised the role when new regular episodes of OLTL debuted on Hulu, iTunes and FX Canada, via The Online Network from April 29, 2013, until August 19, 2013. In 2023, DePaiva again reprised the role on General Hospital, airing on September 15.
The role was originated by actress Mia Korf on October 10, 1991, who portrayed the character through January 29, 1993. Notably, Korf is a biracial actress of Japanese and Caucasian descent, while her successor DePaiva is Caucasian. References to the character's Asian cultural heritage disappeared once DePaiva assumed the role.
On January 11, 2012, it was announced DePaiva would bring her character, Blair Cramer, over to ABC's sole remaining soap opera, General Hospital. DePaiva and her alter-ego will be joined by long-time on-screen flame, Todd Manning, played by Roger Howarth, their daughter Starr Manning, played by Kristen Alderson and John McBain played by Michael Easton. All characters debuted in Port Charles in early 2012. On her official website, DePaiva confirmed her stint on GH would only be for a few select appearances and she is not planning to relocate to Los Angeles for a full-time gig. On June 1, 2012, Frank Valentini confirmed that DePaiva would return for several episodes during the summer. On October 1, 2012, Kassie revealed in her blog that she would be returning to GH for few episodes, and later appeared for episodes from November 27 through December 3, 2012.
On August 28, 2023, TVLine announced DePaiva would return to General Hospital for a "brief stint"; returning on September 15.
The initial 1994 pairing of actors Kassie DePaiva and Roger Howarth as Todd Manning and Blair Cramer on One Life to Live was met with fanfare and critical acclaim. This led production to focus on the actors and their character roles in front-burner storylines on the series through to the original television finale in 2012. Both DePaiva and Howarth, along with actress Kristen Alderson as their onscreen daughter Starr Manning, reprised the roles in-continuity on the ABC soap General Hospital in 2012, and DePaiva and Howarth again on One Life to Live upon its revival in 2013.
For her portrayal of Blair, DePaiva received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2005, losing her bid that year to fellow One Life to Live actress and onscreen sister-in-law Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord Davidson).
