This looks pretty good! I'm excited to see how this will do, following the success of Imaginary Bitches. More and more I'm starting to see that soaps have a strong future online; like how GH:NS has its own online spinoff with Claire and Kyle, maybe we'll be seeing more of these in future. If it means soaps are opened up to a wider audience, then maybe they'll start watching the real thing. It can only be a good thing for the genre.

Looks fun!

Damn, I hate We Love Soaps! LOL. They are so much quicker than me.

This project looks great and even better because it is a Behind-the-Scenes look at a soap. We've all said that stuff is a lot more juicier than the actual soaps themselves

[Toups]

I've been waiting months for this! I love Karen Harris! She should be GH's HW or at least Co-HW.

[Sylph]

Sadly... I don't like online soaps. I like them on an old-fashioned TV.

Upon reviewing the trailer, I can't help but feel this might be very similar to the Echo Beach/Moving Wallpaper series that aired in the UK last year. However, while that was disastrous, I get the impression this is going to be a lot better. Who knows? If it runs for a while, maybe some soap stars will pop up in it.

Is Karen Harris out at GH, then? Or is this like a sideline project? Because if she's basing storylines on her experiences at GH, surely if she gets too close to the bone there will be some sort of conflict of interests, or something?

[Toups]

I never heard of those shows before.

I definiltely love "behind the scene" shows! I thought the trailer was pretty funny.

She's still writing for GH. I think this was shot/written during the strike?

[UKBoi]

More about the show, again from WeLoveSoaps...

I'm EXCITED!!!

[Errol]

The cast in the show is awesome.

[UKBoi]

The fact that Arianne Zuker is in it has it sold for me. It will be nice to see her play something other than Nicole.

[Errol]

You'll love who else is in it

[Toups]

After reading that blog, I'm even more excited! She's such a talented writer who deserves better than writing Bob Guza scripts - it should be the other way around, Guza should be writing scripts for Karen!

[Chris B]

This looks like a great show, but not a soap. More like a sitcom based around a soap. I could see it being a good cable show if expanded. I can't wait to see what Karen Harris plots on her own.

Don't read on if you haven't seen it yet.....I'll be talking about it below.

I just saw the first episode and I already love it! The scenes are really quick and there's already instant drama - Winni being rewritten by Raymond (I couldn't help think of the DAYS/Y&R situations! LMAO!), Courtney's missing while her father wants her to be front burner, Rachel/Brian's bickering, Rod dumping Courtney and he's sleeping with a cast member, Raymond hiring a new young Consultant.

It's also so funny!

"Diva, my ass. These aren't even her own tits."

"I've been backburnered since you got me out of the wheelchair. I have nothing to submit to the Emmys."

"You heard him, I am a legend in my own mind."

LOL!!!

And the episode ended with a cliffhanger - soap opera style!

The cast is fantastic! I instantly knew John Ingle, Lindze Letherman, Scott Clifton, Arianne Zuker. It took me a while to recognize the actor playing Julian (Jordon Bridges who played Oliver on Dawson's Creek).

I can't wait for the next episode.

How do we get to watch it?
