WTF!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Here is a great holiday gift for soap fans: I’ve learned that Prospect Park has revived its plan to continue cancelled ABC daytime dramas All My Children and One Life To Live online. I hear the company behind USA hit Royal Pains has inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soaps’ production, eyed to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

Uh no. PP needs to focus on these shows before grabbing a chance at the P&G shows. It's going to be awhile before I'm convinced they're in this for the long haul. I'm going to need about two years of these shows running flawlessly to be convinced.

I meant once AMC/OLTL are off their feet. Basically, if/when AMC/OLTL are successful they should try to get the P&G soaps. If that's the case I wonder if Agnes would be a consultant for them since she wouldn't be working with P&G? I wonder what GL would be like if Agnes wrote for that show again? Or even if they brought back AW and she agreed to write a bible for that show.

Again, no. Unless PP wants to specialize in soaps, then I'd be all for it. Otherwise, no. And I doubt Agnes would write for these shows again when she has to worry about her own. I'd prefer a competing company to purchase the rights & produce the shows. PP doesn't need to be top heavy with soaps.

When I wrote my original response I thought I was simply adding on to what you originally wrote:

And I hope this pans out in the long haul, so P&G can sell their shows and I can get an ATWT & GL reboot. I won't settle for less.

You did not need to shoot my idea down because I very well could have stated "P&G just looks at ATWT/GL as some old brand. They will never sell ATWT/GL in a thousand years get over yourself!" But I didn't!

I really don't know how this ridiculous rumor started. ABC licensed the shows to PP; they didn't sell them. Therefore, it makes no sense for ABC to have to pay for characters they already own. If ABC had to pay for those characters, then they would have also had to pay to air the "classic" AMC/OLTL repeats on SOAPnet, and we all know they wouldn't waste money on that when they could just do reruns of beloved series such as Bank of Mom & Dad and Southern Belles: Loofah.

It came from Valentini when he was trying to explain why Natalie wasn't coming to GH.

This is exciting. I can't wait to see what TR and SBH have ahead for us!

Although I am kinda bummed that I couldn't start up a #MissL4OLTL2HW Twitter campaign. Gah.

First of all, I know what I stated originally. Did I ever specify who I wanted to get the rights until the last post? No. As I said, I would love for a reboot to happen, but not any time soon, and not under PP.

Now that being said, again, chill out. You getting to hype about a situation.

SO it looks like Marlene McPherson will be Head Writer of AMC according to buzz that Jamey Giddens is hearing! I am not thrilled at all by the potential news but I guess I should just be happy the show is coming back.

And with that news I'm over it. AMC gets OLTL's second choice, a woman who refused to take any responsibility for her horribly boring DOOL.And they can't even find a co-HW.

The co-headwriter better be someone who knows how to pace a show and that Agnes Nixon works very very closely to make sure the ideas suggested are implemented correctly.

Good god!

Well it says she'll be working close w/Agnes Nixon so that's a good sign. Lets hope her co-head writer will be someone w/AMC experience.

Wasnt Susan Bedsow Horgan only EP at OLTL or did she write too? I liked her time on OLTL but more importantly I loved her as HW at ATWT. Didnt Tom Racina make a brief return recently at Y&R? I didnt see that much of spark in his script writing. I wonder how much SBH remembers about OLTL....her time at ATWT was fuzzy to her. Its sad it took OLTL to be put online for someone of Horgan's talent back as HW.

I think she started out as a writer, then got promoted to being a producer before finally becoming EP in 1994.
