Natalie Buchanan is a fictional character from the American soap opera
One Life to Live. She is played by Melissa Archer, who made her first
on-screen appearance on July 16, 2001 and remained on the show until
its final episode on its online revival on August 19, 2013.Archer
originally auditioned for the role of Jennifer Rappaport, which
Jessica Morris went on to secure. Archer then auditioned for the role
of Natalie. On the day of her audition, Archer over-slept and turned
up late. The casting department failed to notice this due to the
number of people auditioning. In 2005, it was reported that Archer had
quit the role, but ABC announced that she had signed a new contract
with the show.When Natalie arrives in Llanview she reveals that she is
the biological daughter of Victoria "Viki" Lord (Erika Slezak).
Natalie's bad behavior on-screen transformed her into a "love-to-hate"
character with viewers. But some viewers told Archer that they wanted
Natalie's boyfriend Seth Anderson (Brandon Routh) to leave her and
form a relationship with her sister, Jessica.On July 16, 2003, One
Life to Live celebrated thirty-five years of broadcasting on ABC.
Natalie's relationship with Cristian Vega (David Fumero) played a
central role in the anniversary celebrations. In the storyline the
characters are shown deliberating over their wedding plans. While the
characters "dream about what they want", a flashback sequence airs,
consisting of weddings that previously featured in the series.
