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.

If Florencia doesnt believe it will happen, why sign on to the show? I dont buy that

I don't want to get into a he said she said, but my understanding was she didn't say she didn't believe it would happen, but that it still wasn't a lock. And I think we all knew that. Until they've taped something. It's not a lock IMHO.

But Robin tweeting a firm date to start taping makes me almost optimistic. I think. It's such a strange emotion and so rarely felt in the last year, I'm having trouble recognizing it.

I'm so tired of the arguments about Ron Carlivati. Don't get me wrong, I know this is a discussion board and I'm NOT trying to dictate what other people talk about and I acknowledge my part in it but it simply makes me sad to see so much talk about someone who is, IMO, an average writer and an unprofessional attention whore eat up so much bandwidth in the online soap verse. It's the same way I feel when the media talks about 50 Shades of Gray or Lady Gaga. I hate seeing mediocrity garner all this attention.

I dearly hope that a year from now AMC and OLTL are doing well and we are all engrossed in talking about the stories on both instead of post after post on thread after thread talking about RC (and FV) like they're bringing us Game of Thrones.

I guess it depends on what it means to "sign on." She's a New Yorker and my understanding is that her real love is theatre. She has nothing to lose by committing to this project. If it works, she makes a little money while being able to work on her own project and if it falls apart, it costs her nothing. I see it as no different than choosing to take the cash payout in the office lottery pool. It only matters if you win.

IA, if you noticed only East Coast based actors have signed on for this

Exactly. I've seen her name pop up a couple of times in casting notices. Particularly at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater where her plays have been workshopped/performed.

Jacob on what he thinks will happen to the character of JR post-ABC cliffhanger, and what he has heard in terms of a recast for the role: “From what I understand, they are going to be moving the show forward a year, so they can get past that point. They told me every time they try to write the story, JR obviously would come into the picture. They also told me whether I could, or could not do AMC; they were going to continue on with the character regardless. I said, ‘I understand.’ But then I had a couple of friends tell me that they are up for the role of JR! They called and said, ‘Hey dude, I am up for your role!’ And I would go, ‘Yeah? Good.’ If it means another one of my fellow actors I know gets the job, than I am very happy for them. It’s a special character and always will be.”

Nice.

Wonder who has read for JR. From JY' interview sounds like it could be actors we have heard of.

Sounds like Jacob Young doesn't give a damn...lol

He has a great gig at B&B and among the AMC and OLTL cast members, he was perhaps the most vocal critic of PP. Sounds like he's happy with his life as is, no sour grapes.

As he should be....he should have never left B&B.

AMC has had at least one L.A. actor sign on. Jill Larson has been living in L.A. As for the Carlivati bashing, I don't think the ratings success of both OLTL and GH could be a complete accident. OLTL wasn't cancelled because of the ratings, the ratings were stable/growing. When OLTL and now GH were and are growing in the ratings at a time of overall soap stagnation in the ratings, he must have been and must be doing something right.

The ratings were poor in the year or two before cancelation and had started falling again by the end. I don't think bad ratings were a specific reason, I think ABC just wanted cheaper programming, but he didn't do that much for ratings.

As he should be....he should have never left B&B.

I think he was better off leaving B&B, in terms of growing as an actor, and having new opportunities. He kind of sucked on B&B the first time around. And then on GH. AMC was the first time I saw him actually learn to act.

B&B also tends to dump actors so he might have been better off leaving at the time he did.
