In July 2001, Melissa Archer was cast as Natalie Buchanan on One Life to Live.

Natalie ended up being Jessica Buchanan's (Erin Torpey/ Bree Williamson) worse nightmare. Fans eventually realized that Natalie was Victoria Lord’s
(Erica Slezak) long lost daughter she had with Clint (Clint Richie/ Jerry Ver Dorn) and not Jessica.
