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 could see that. Where did u hear that. I think they should be allowed to stay & cross over to OLTL when needed.

It's floating around a few different places. I don't think they should stay. They don't fit in and didn't do anything to improve GH.

Eh. Starr and John are both floating around with no real purpose and once Todd's deeds are discovered I don't see what's left for him on GH.

Nelson Branco is bitching on twitter that this is happenng. So imo, I'd take what NB says with huge grains of salt.

Not saying it could'nt happen but Nelson Branco & others make it sound like GH needs Todd Starr & John. GH doesnt. They will be fine if the three go back to Llanview & PP

Like I said it looks true but its not bad news for GH as Branco wants to make it seem. GH will do just fine if & when Starr, Todd & McBain go back to Llanview.

you mean unlike other characters deeds who get discovered, guess there's not much left for them either.....

What does Todd have going for him on GH?

Yeah the characters that have family and friends to play off. Who does Todd have on GH except for Starr no one else interacts with him...

I want him back on the possible new OLTL anyway

I think Todd exits after Starr learns he knew that Johnny caused Hope & Cole's deaths & never told her

The PP news seems to be moving slow lately. I wonder what's going on.

It's all a big joke and nothing will happen.

The PP people are sadists!

Or the fact that the holiday season is just now winding down and PP never really announced anything anyway. It's been a swirl of rumors.

I'm sure people are still in holiday mode.

True.

I am catiously optimistic here but maybe PP actually has all of this figured out & is just staggering the release of info. I know they still have the WGA deal to iron out but I think with deals with the DGA & SAG-AFTRA, the WGA could fall into place easier

ALL: Soap actors that also worked BTS on their shows

Don Hastings briefly wrote for ATWT while also appearing as Bob.

I think the last she did was directing again at ATWT after GL was canceled.

They should have done more with her but considering that I'm not sure how popular she ever was compared to Meg Ryan, I suppose being more of a B-heroine was inevitable. What I've seen of the pairing with Josh has some compelling moments but is more about showing us he's a good person rather than being about Betsy.
The relationship does get one of her best scenes (one I'm not ever sure was from Marland or a strike writer because it feels much more out of control than most of his ATWT run), where she digs at him for sleeping with "cousin Meg" and when he can't take it anymore, nearly asks if he's going to rape her before she stops herself.

Thanks for the clips and mini-reviews @Maxim . I appreciate that you also recap the moments you don't show.
I didn't realize the hot therapist stayed around this long. I suppose it makes sense to keep bringing him back to unwittingly cause chaos. About a year before this Another World had an evil female psychiatrist, plotting to get a man. There was something in the water in those years as the big screen and softcore movies loved that theme too.
The scene with Viki and Bo is moving, but I wish they'd brought up Viki's late husband, Joe. Like Sarah, he also "died," returned from the dead, and died for real. I guess they may have thought connecting to recently deceased Megan was more organic, especially as Sarah was her sister.
The Dorian on display here is who we'll be getting for a while to come, just in a much more outwardly neurotic and histrionic form once Elaine Princi is gone. I don't love when the show uses Dorian this way, but I know they need her to move the plot along. The moment where Viki nearly snaps is great.
Your mention of the "circus" with characters like Alex reminds me of how some fans talk about novelas, and the cores of them. They too are critical of some that have a "circus" atmosphere. Alex would probably fit into that type of show. Actually, much of OLTL at this time does remind me of them - Blair's schemes with Asa, Addie and the scissors, Clint/Viki/Sloan, Dorian, Luna and Death, Marty, Suede, etc. That high octane, operatic feel.

I think Frost is a really unique presence. She was not suited for being chained to what seemed like an already dated couple. I wish they'd made more of her time post-Steve, though I will reserve judgment on the controversial pairing with Josh.

There was a scene with Alex in the drugstore, eating some ice cream on a stick. It was hard for me to imagine Marj's Alex doing that, although Marj did seem to have fun with the moment (and her Alex was initially given a more common touch, like playing basketball with Buzz - I'd love to see Bev in those scenes).

I agree Bernau managed to find the line. I think Raines could have too, but not as easily.
My biggest issues with Raines were a lack of charisma and lack of chemistry with leading ladies. Clearly, he had that in his stage career, but I rarely saw this in his work as Alan. Bernau is fascinating in every glimpse, whereas Raines would have been a slightly sourer grandfather in the Werther's Originals ads.
There also seemed to be no real long-term plans for him after the Mr. Tashiwa nonsense, maybe due to the frequent writer turnover in JFP's last year. The best they figured out being a pairing with Tangie does suggest JFP had another actor in mind, although I have no idea who. I wonder if she may have wanted Jed Allan. I think pages ago there was a list of potential Alans mentioned in Soap Opera Update or another magazine at the time. I can't remember the names. Joe Gallison may have been one, but I am not sure.
