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.

For ALL MY CHILDREN: Jeff Beldner, Lorraine Broderick, Hal Corley, Frederick Johnson, Michelle Patrick

For ONE LIFE TO LIVE: Anna Theresa Cascio, Susan Bedsow Horgan & Thom Racina

Sadly Hal Corley, who is a really friendly and smart guy, has no desire to return to soaps (though at their peak, he seems to have thought writing on AMC and the writer's community was hugely fun).

I don't think TK is on Smash this season. It looks like he was a casualty of the new showrunner but I'm sure he could always return.

He's in the season 2 trailer being in jail with Anjelica saying something like "what did you do". So it could just be a one or two episode thing.

For ALL MY CHILDREN: Jeff Beldner, Lorraine Broderick, Hal Corley, Frederick Johnson, Michelle Patrick

For AMC - Agnes Nixon - Story Consultant

Headwriter - Lorraine Broderick, but since she is otherwise occupied with AHW at Days, I'd love to see Richard Culliton ditch his gig as scriptwriter at Days for the position. His last stint was spent cleaning up the mess of the previous HW, and then he was screwed by Frons before he was really allowed to soar. I think I would also be fine with Addie Walsh, who has been in the mix for a very long time. Outside the box, Beth Milstein from Y&R (she was headwriter for Days for a time, and tends to be a mix of McTavish [outlandish] and Broderick [heart] or Teresa Zimmerman, who has worked as an associate writer for B&B, and tended to keep Brad from going too far in any wrong direction.

ITA with Lorraine Broderick as headwriter for AMC and I'd like to have Richard Culliton as co-headwriter. From what I've seen of Culliton's work as headwriter on GL, AW and AMC, I've always felt he was fired prematurely. For the rest of the team, I'd want Carolyn Culliton, Jeff Beldner, Addie Walsh, Michelle Patrick and Kate Hall.

When is Agnes Nixon gonna update her website

If OLTL comes back, well, do I REALLY need to tell you who I want to see back?

That is all.

^^^ I'd certainly give it a chance if Fiona were back. The great thing about OLTL's reboot is that Craptini would not be involved.

I was so sure you were going to surprise us all, Miss Llanview, and say you wanted Wanda back. Ah well.

When is Agnes Nixon gonna update her website

I too have checked her website periodically for updates. Nothing.

Finn Wittrock Is such a classic soap tale. Not good enough for a soap while the likes of Cameron Mathison last years on end, and yet he is somehow good enough for Death Of A Salesman, Tennessee Williams, and the entire audience of non-soap watchers and casting agents. Daytime never gets it right.

The thing is Lorriane Broderick is under contract with NBC/Ken Corday. She can't just exit her contract to work on AMC. I doubt they would let her out plus why would Lorriane take a paycut to write AMC online. I love Lorriane but she has a good gig at DAYS that pays more money and I highly doubt NBC would let her out of her contract. People don't seem to get how contracts work. She has a contract with NBC for a couple years.

They could let her out. It could happen. I doubt she would want to right away but who knows? And while money talks, who is to say shes happy at Days? We cant always assume or know what these people will do. Contracts aside.

Am I wrong for believing that a total unknown should probably take a crack at these reboots in regards to HW?

with smith and pepperman as ep choices, dont expect any veteran soap writers. PP will be going cheap so expect to see a casiello, fissell, jill hurst, martha byrne, chappell.....crystal friended pepperman immediately after the announcement on facebook. hmmmm.

Is this necessarily a bad thing? Look at what the so called veteran/experienced writers are churning?

Exactly! I'm all for fresh blood but who know the genre (and their soap).
