She voiced the character of Princess Aurora (from Sleeping Beauty) for Disney 2007 direct-to-video DVD release Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams. In 2008, she voiced the Greek goddess Athena in the PSP game God of War: Chains of Olympus and reprised the role in the PS3 game God of War III and in the PSP game God of War: Ghost of Sparta, both released in 2010.
Torpey is now a singer, focusing specifically in the acoustic rock and folk genres.

On June 27, 2011, it was revealed that Erin would be returning to One Life to Live as a new character, the third role she played.[1]
On September 8, 2011, Torpey returned to OLTL for an episode as Erin, Cristian Vega's colleague.
