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.

Don't they HAVE to be in production by February per the extension from ABC, I don't see that happening unless they rush

This is where I'm at too Errol

They dont have to be filming by February. I think they have to have their prod/Writing staff & Location set by then though

I dont think they plan to air AMC than OLTL & repeat. I think they plan to tape that way though. Tape AMC for a month then OLTL for a month then repeat til both soaps have produced 168, 30 min episodes.

They could always have OLTL air as the "summer serial" from May-early September. Then have AMC air as the "winter serial" from December-early April. Or vice versa.

Rumor Alert!!

SoapNet will replay daily episodes

Grain of salt it going around facebook

LOL that doesn't even make sense.

Yeah it is just like how Bravo does the Real Housewives. If they tell good stories and promote it right they shouldn't have a problem with people tuning in after they return from a break.

Also forgot about Degrassi. They do 4 episode a week telenovela style storylines every summer and they get good ratings for the most part (I think...lol)

I hate that they're using Agnes as their "mouthpiece" why are they such cowards to come out and make a statement all on their own, that's something they keep failing to do

Exactly. A lot of shows only do a "summer season". Look at shows like Drop Dead Diva. That show comes on every June and the season is over by what, October? But yet people continue to tune in every summer when it starts back up again. It's not illogical to think that people would do the same for OLTL and AMC. They don't need to be packaged together. There are lots of shows that have "winter seasons" and other shows have "summer seasons". If the stories are told right, and the promotion is out there, people will tune in.

And, the fact is, many people are fans of both shows. So when, for example, OLTL goes off in September, there's a chance that they will tune in when AMC debuts in December. And if PP is smart, they'd be streaming repeats/encores/reunion specials of the shows in the gaps between each shows seasons. Get the actors on the talk show and blog circuit. WRITE GOOD STORIES. Do all that, and the viewers will be there.

I just hope they let Agnes have some say on the shows when it comes to stories.

I hope SoapNet airs AMC because I can't afford to watch it on HULU plus, apps, or whatever else!

LMAO

Why would you want it on Soapnet given like Errol said ABC is trying to get rid of it as fast as they can.

You know it is

It really isn't.

If it aired on SOAPnet that would only lead to disappointment when your local satellite/cable provider decides to renew a contract without SOAPnet like others have.

It should air on Lifetime.

If it airs on cable. Which i doubt it will.
