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.

Why am I sensing a JR recast?

Melissa Claire Egan. I betcha.

Perhaps, but if it were I bet they'd say "an ex ABC fan fave" or something... She's hardly become a massive CBS star.

If PP is being racist why would they agree to black characters in the first place?

I'm not sensing a JR recast. But, it could be.

I hope it's Jacob Young!

I can't at Susan Haskell being a model. She's a great actress but not a great beauty.

OMG I was thinking the same thing when I read that

And thanks... now I have that song stuck in my head...

LMAO!

I generally don't like to go in on people's looks (unless your name is Kristen Alderson, as that hooker just grinds my gears in every way possible, and of course the occasional Kim Zimmer joke), but from time to time I partake, jokingly. I do not think Susan Haskell is ugly, but Cindy Crawford she ain't. Sorry to piss off the leader of her fan club.

Also, I bet it's MCE.

I don't think they went out of their way to find a lighter actress for Destiny at all. I think they went out of their way to find an older one who was hot. And I think it's pointless to stan for Shenell Edmonds who was an incredibly weak actor, and the Destiny character was ripe for a serious reinvention as an adult character. Changing her dramatically was the only way she was going to be viable, and that meant an older actress with the ability to play romance, regardless of skin tone or weight.

2 for thinking it's Melissa. Any other takers?

Many people claim all soaps are racist, yet they all have black characters. It all boils down to perception.

Is Melissa leaving Y&R? Otherwise, why would they be hiring her, as Annie or anyone else?

I'm certainly not stanning for SE, though I didn't find her as bad as most. But I just find it suspect, is all.

Yeah. But, IMO. That time that Michelle Stafford spat on Victoria Rowell. (If that is true) Michelle should have been the one to go.

She should have been fired right on the spot.

I would be surprised if it were either MCE or JY, granted that they seem happy on their current soaps and seem to have set roots on the west coast.

Notice the release said ACTIVE CBS star, implying they'd be doing both.
