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.

Worst cases scenario: Dena Higley is a financial core writer who used to headwrite #OLTL

That's what I was thinking as well: Higley for OLTL and James Harmon Brown for AMC

Mama, no!

But seriously, I still don't buy any of this happening.

I can see PP doing exactly that, they want cheap, they'll get it at the show's expense

Wow, there's some movement on the AMC front! Looks like whoever said that show was easier to put together was right

Mama, no!

I'm on the same boat as you, but the more news that comes out the more I'm convinced it's real. They may not have actors yet but they have (most of) the unions, the shooting location and (at least for AMC) an EP. I'll be shocked if they're actually in production by their February goal, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this is the real deal.

FV and RC were also attached to OLTL 2.0 before. As were many actors. Didn't happen.

When did they get the unions? Did I miss that? Show me the receipts.

Vee I am so glad you're keeping Whitney Houston's memory alive in an appropriate way. That's probably the most entertaining part of this mess...

I'm with Vee on this.....

Is Agnes Nixon involved in any of this?

According to the very reliable Deadline, PP has deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA, but will be going fi-core.

So far no word at all that she is Carl. I can see them completely leaving her out of this

Well I won't watch this thing, if it even is a thing, if she's left out.

I will say that based on how AMC treats their creative talent, PP going to them would not be a huge shock.

I have to ask what MEK is smoking, or is he that desperate for work *smdh*

Plus as AMC favorite Michael E. Knight (Tad) noted during a recent “Martin family reunion” with Michael Fairman/Soap Opera Sociliate Productions, if anyone can do it, Prospect Park can. “They realize there is a market for [AMC], and that the Internet is the way to go. These guys connect the dots,” he observed. “The flaw [a year ago] wasn’t theirs; it was the rest of the industry not being up to their vision. I wouldn’t count these guys out.”
