Lindsay Rappaport is a fictional character from the American daytime drama One Life to Live. The role was originated and portrayed by Catherine Hickland, who debuted May 14, 1998, and played her continually through October 2008. Hickland briefly reprised the role in July 2009. Hickland returned to the role of Lindsay from January 4 through 6, 2012, for the show's ABC Daytime finale.
Lindsay Rappaport is the perennial . Lindsay is born Lindsay Farrell off-screen to a stern and disapproving father, Dennis Farrell, who doted on her younger sister Melanie (or "Lanie") while shunning Lindsay. Even after Lindsay falls in love and marries hotshot lawyer Sam Rappaport (Kale Browne) and raises his two children, Lindsay is disappointed and angered when Sam's falls out of love with her and in love with Nora Hanen (Hillary B. Smith). A series of desperate affairs followed for Lindsay, including one with brother-in-law Colin MacIver, and the loveless marriage of Sam and Lindsay finally ended as their two children reached adulthood.
Lindsay arrives in fictional Llanview following ex-husband Sam, immediately sparking a rivalry with Nora Hanen. She soon befriends and marries Clint Buchanan (Clint Ritchie), but the marriage falls apart. Obsessed with the woman she blamed for ending her marriage, Lindsay engages in a vendetta against Nora, aiming to break up her then-marriage to Bo Buchanan (Robert S. Woods); this begins a feud which would last a decade. A business partnership, meanwhile, blossoms with Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser), and Lindsay's forges a friendship with R. J. Gannon (Timothy D. Stickney).
