Marty Saybrooke is a fictional character from One Life to Live, an American soap opera. The role was originated by Susan Haskell, who portrayed Marty from January 24, 1992,[3][full citation needed] through September 16, 1997,[4] and made brief appearances on February 16, 2004, and February 2005.[5] Christina Chambers portrayed the role from November 17, 2006,[6][7] to December 4, 2007,[5][8][9] with the character written off for "storyline reasons."[10] Haskell later returned as Marty on June 11, 2008, and left on June 6, 2011.

The character became a show heroine,[11] and her 1993 gang rape led by Todd Manning is considered one of soap opera's "most remembered and impactful" storylines.[12][13][14]
