Alex and many other Ringers have written in to tell us of a random mention of LOTR in “One Life to Live”: My mom watches the soap opera “One Life to Live” on ABC and while I was watching it with her, I saw that one of the young characters (a 16-year-old friend of Starr Manning) has the AIM screen name of “Frodo87”. The character is referred to simply as “Frodo” when Starr isn’t online talking to him.
