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.

I am a little nervous about how the news shifted to OLTL from AMC. It almost seems as if they are not focusing on AMC like last time. Also, how hard could it be to find a Co-HW?? I wonder if someone like Margaret DePriest or Clair Labine will join in? We really don't need a writer with AMC experience since Ginger Smith has been their for 20 years or so.

I'm nervous about that too. Unlike the OLTL headwriter news, PP hasn't confirmed Marlene MacPherson yet, either. I suspect they might not have decided on any headwriters for AMC.

Personally, I hope they get somebody who knows AMC's history well and is willing to utilize it. Both Pratt and Kreizman/Swajeski proved that the storytelling isn't as good when the writers ignore the past (specifically for K&S, the Jane story could've been so much better if she'd turned out to be someone Erica knew instead of just a random woman who idolized her).

Marlene isn't confirmed yet? Wow so maybe there is some hope for AMC after all

the Jane story could've been so much better if she'd turned out to be someone Erica knew instead of just a random woman who idolized her.

IKR? "Jane Campbell" sounds like someone who must pretend every morning that she's glad to be sharing airtime with Matt Lauer in order to collect her paycheck.

Same news, SOD wonders if this "Billy" character might be a recast of the character Ryan Phillipe played

Billy Douglas returning? Now that has possibilities.

Wow. Just read the Character Description for OLTL's character they are trying to cast. That sounds like a very layered character. At least the character seems more layered than characters in recent years.

How reliable is Nelson? Sad about the Matthew recast. I loved EA. Praise god about Destiny though.

No doubt, casting breakdowns under the Frank Valentini era read more like personal ads in the back of certain magazines: "Long-running daytime drama seeks HOT GUYZ! Must be too young to have a driver's license! Must be hung like a horse & cut like a bitch! No body hair! NO TALENT, NO PROBLEM!!!"

Walt Willey ‏@wwilley

I promised to keep you updated-so far, no call from PP. Gotta get back to work here in Jackson, TN. Back to NSHS for more work with students

I'm so happy their recasting Matthew and Destiny. I wouldn't mind Billy Douglas returning. Was he a friend of Joey's or Kevin's? I wonder if that means they plan on having one of them on.

So no Walt Willey yet so likely no Susan Lucci yet. It really is kind of a shame they have to be tied together. They shouldn't be. At all.

Me too and he was a friend of Joey's, as played by Chris McKenna who we were all just saying should come back. Hmm.

Billy Douglas was Joey's best friend. Ok if they are recasting Billy we need Joey a recast would be okay but Id ask Chris McKenna first

I wonder if SuLu is interested after being thrown under the bus the last time. Plus what she's going on with other projects, she just might not be interested or just not available at this time

Yeah. I agree. I am actually fine with her not being on it (should it happen) at first. She can always just guest star and pop in and out.
