Some karmic relief on ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Dorian comes up with a foolproof way to get her hands on David's inheritance next week on ONE LIFE TO LIVE.

"She pretends to have a spiritual epiphany," says Robin Strasser, who plays the Machiavellian mogul. "For Dorian, that means wearing a weird Bollywood outfit and going to the ashram."

Where David is following a spiritual path to enlightenment, unaware that he has just become the sole heir to the Buchanan fortune.

"She says, 'I want to follow the spiritual path and you too, darling.' But David doesn't want to have physical relations because that's not part of the path. She's like, 'Oh, yeah? The path goes straight to the bedroom.'"

Not this time. David really has given up all his vices, as well as all his worldly possessions - which means Dorian has to pretend to do that, too.
