The Classic Soap Opera Snoop Dogg Made Multiple Guest Appearances On

In an interview from around the time of that 2010 appearance, Robert S. Woods — the actor who played Bo Buchanan — explained the backstory of Snoop Dogg’s fictional past in Llanview: “The storyline … is that early on, when he was a young, young guy, he was on this soap opera that we used to have here called ‘Fraternity Row.’ And he was a character on ‘Fraternity Row’ that decided to go to California … and sure enough, he did. But he comes back — so it is sort of like coming home I guess.” The show “Fraternity Row” is a fictional sudser in the “One Life to Live” universe.

The real Snoop Dogg has his own past connection to Llanview (and the world of “One Life to Live”) as well. Although it may be surprising to some, he’s been a longtime fan of the show. According to MTV News, when Snoop first appeared on the show he said, “I’ve been a fan of ‘One Life to Live’ since I was a baby. My momma always had it on the tube in the crib growing up.” In another statement from 2010, the rapper reiterated his childhood connection to the show and added, “It’s cool to come back and hang with Bo Buchanan and the people in Llanview and ‘rock out with them,’” per Soap Central.
