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.

Not that I'm referring to anyone here, but seeing comments around the net and people are some cheap MOFO's. You pay for cable/satellite and can't spare $7.99 a month to watch AMC/OLTL? HELLO!?! You're not JUST paying for those programs, you're paying to watch THOUSANDS of programs whenever you want, wherever you want, however you want. I mean you pay to post on the internet...

Maybe they cast the role

She means "dropped" as in posted.

actually some can't afford it cause cable is so freaking expensive. I pay $130 a month for cable internet and phone, and luckily that includes free HD channels

Some of us are on a limited budget and can't afford little extras

Right, anyone want to synopsize the Cassandra script?

Is there another script out there?

Yes, the audition script is for Chelsea. Reading between the lines, Chelsea is Cassandra.

The summation is Cassandra is sour on romance after a break-up.

Re: Cable prices. Time Warner Cable, after years of bleeding their customers dry, is being so great with prices since 2012. I have 3 cable boxes, phone and internet (+ one premium channel) for 102.00 with tax. I'm going to be so pissed when my two year deal is finished.

I also have Netflix. A lot of us have Netflix, that's why paying for a second service like Netflix isn't exactly cut and dry, Mr. Deep Pockets ;b

Understandable. I only pay for Satellite so I can access HBO GO, SHO Anytime, Starz Play, etc (plus so my mother can watch TV, lol). Otherwise, I watch all my broadcast shows (sans stupid CBS, which I have to use CBS.com for) on Hulu Plus. Yes, I have Netflix too, but don't really find a use for it right now. Wasting my money there.

Pockets ain't deep. I wish they were deep.

The only thing I dislike about HuluPlus is that you STILL get commercials. Thankfully we use a friend's login info so it doesn't hurt my wallet.

But let's be honest, everyone knows here that these shows will eventually show up on YouTube or on a torrent site for free so I don't know why everyone is complaining...

I wonder if they'll still have act breaks, or will it be a straight 25 minutes of drama with a commercial at the beginning or end. It could change the way soaps are structured.

They dropped what appears to be the official Cassandra audition script earlier this afternoon. I'm amused at Angie being called "Aleta" when Jesse's name is mentioned 5 billion times.

"Cassandra" is hating on man-kind (read: males) in these scripts due to a break-up.

Its funny about the Cassandra talk, I was watching a Law & Order SVU episode last night which featured Yaya DaCosta.

I hear ya...I have Comcast where I live. And you know how they are....lol.

Shaking my head. The lengths people will go to for a hit.

So will toln.com just serve as a site to advertise the shows, profile cast and crew, show short clips? This Hollywood Reporter article (with a great old picture, including Bianca lookin like Meg Griffin http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/all-my-children-one-life-live-revival-premiere-date-itunes-hulu-415361 ) mentions that the shows will appear on the actual TOLN website as well but unless I missed something they don't say anything about that in the press release. I wonder if the episodes will only appear on toln.com weeks or months after their Hulu runs.

Damn girl i'd kill for that, if I want another cable box it's like another $10 a month. I need whole home DVR but it's expensive. my two year deal is up next month. I barely use the home phone but if I drop it they charge more for not having it, ugh

I love netflix, I just got it and am still on my free trial, I love it so much lol. I think I'll keep it when the trial is up.

I believe Agnes Nixon said that first triangle was supposed to be the new Liza/Greg/Jenny. I might be wrong though.

She might've referenced them since Greenlee was the vixen plotting to break up Scott & Becca, just like Liza did Greg & Jenny, but that doesn't mean Greenlee had the same insecurities as Liza did.

Here, PP had a golden opportunity not just to revive these shows but to spin them into new directions as well. I'm not talking about wholesale slaughters of AMC and OLTL's respective casts, but working with HW's and EP's in studying them as they were at the end, deciding who was essential in going forward, who wasn't, and then coming up with a plan that included a mix of returning characters, much-loved characters from years past, and exciting new characters that might keep the show going as time goes on.

Instead, what do we get? David Vickers. JR Chandler. Matthew Buchanan. Zach Slater. Destiny Evans. Cutter Wentworth. Griffin and Cara Castillo. Then, perhaps, if deals fall into place, Ryan Lavery and Kendall Hart (b/c you know they're coming -- Toto Greenlee, too! -- who are we kidding), with Todd and Starr Manning and John McBain, of course, bringing up the rear. By no means is this a complete list; in fact, aside from four people (Erika Slezak and Robin Strasser for OLTL; Darnell and Debbi for AMC), I'm not all that thrilled about the ones who've signed on thus far. But it feels as if these "new" versions are being weighed down by the same, damn albatrosses that strangled the life out of these shows in the first place. I mean, my God, it's been how long since they last were on-air? They're on a completely different platform; and yet, I still feel Brian Frons' effing influence over everything!

At first, I wasn't sure these shows would get off the ground again. Now, I kind of wish they wouldn't.

I have mixed feelings about it. It would've been great if they'd picked up 2 years later with slightly different casts and brought back some former characters instead of Zach Slater, Cutter or David Vickers, but the need to make the shows recognizable to the crazy fans who never gave up hope they'd return, too.

CBL >>>>>> Riegel. I really hope they arent holding out for ER when they had a worthy recast and one whom I preferred

ICAM!

Sounds like you expected more of a Dallas reboot with three vets anchoring the show and the newer generations providing all the fresh blood??

I was rather impressed how front and center Bobby been on the Dallas reboot. Sadly we lost Larry but JR drove some real story the first season.

I wish PP took a page from Dallas, and focused on a smaller core group of characters. GH cast is far too bloated as was OLTl towards the end. With only 30 minutes and 4 days per week airing, I prefer PP concentrate on smaller set of key characters.

I share your sentiment PP seems too glued to the former headwriter's vision. Maybe they will eventually break free but for now they aren't trying something fresh just recreating the past.

I loved the new Dallas, too, and thought they very effectively used their cast, especially how easily they incorporated Bobby's new wife Ann's ex-husband into the story.

BREAKING NEWS: Prospect Park Announces ‘AMC’ and ‘OLTL’ Will Premiere on Hulu, Hulu Plus and iTunes

Woohoo, I can still watch for free! Charter Communications is now almost $160 a month without the phone service, too, so I'm not going to pay if I don't have to either.

TOLN will be the ABC.com for the soaps. They'll air the shows on TOLN like ABC does with their programs, but also allow Hulu and iTunes distribution.

Why does Matt Borlenghi want to be All My Children so bad??

I've gotten messages from at least two different members of his family in the past 12 hours asking me to like and promote this page and help get him back on AMC.
