We have some great news for fans of the cancelled ABC soap opera, One Life to Live. Hillary B. Smith is reprising her OLTL role of Nora Buchanan (aka Nora Hanen) on General Hospital. Executive producer Frank Valentini announced the news via a Facebook video, featuring Smith and current GH star Rebecca Budig. Check it out, after the jump.

Although we don’t know how long Smith’s role will last, her casting is the first time GH has included a OLTL character, in a few years. In fact, Soap Opera Digest says, “Smith’s casting marks the first inclusion of a character from AMC or OLTL on GH since ABC regained the rights to the shows after its protracted legal battle with Prospect Park.
