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.

VEE!

What I love so far about the casting news is that everyone (with one exception) is over 50.

Well Agnes did say she was happy "So many actors wanted to revive their characters" or something of that nature so I'm assuming a lot more will be announced. Didn't Robin Strasser say she would be interested in doing it if they would approach her?

Yes she tweeted her intrest

^ Reminds me of the time in 2003 when Clint Ritchie made an appearance and at first glance the homemade family banner at Llanfair appeared to read "WELCOME HOME CLIT"

I never forgot it.

Yes, she's shown a lot of interest in reprising Dorian on her Twitter.

@RavensAnt @robinstrasser I'd love to reprise role if opp was offered. I miss it and HOPE #OLTL will be returned to all of us who loved it:)

January 7th:

@K9MOM_of_3 @robinstrasser Hugs back to you. If I came back as Dorian, think they'd let me open door to La Boulaie and shout "I'm baaack"?

I think that's because many of the younger actors have moved on, or clearly don't want to return, which is fine with me. New actors, new talent, and new characters (with ties to the canvas).

And back on December 24th from Robin's Twitter....

@tinkergraphics @robinstrasser Sadly, no news re: interest in me playing Dorian. Pity Pot? ALL DayTV scribes have my addy-I LOVE good news:)

@robinstrasser I live near Central Park, go to Carl Schurz & Bryant Park but no, I haven't "heard" from "Prospect Park" That bus has left:(

Please, no, Erika. No.

I'm sorry, but this all just sounds wretched to me still. They appear to have put Turtle from Entourage in FV's slot.

Here she's talking about GH....

December 10th:

robin strasser ‏@robinstrasser

@SHADOWUSR @robinstrasser Get DORIAN IMPEACHED and I'll do the episode FREE (lol) Give me opp to do a scene w/ @TonyGeary FREEBIE delight 2

robin strasser ‏@robinstrasser

@ckordelski @robinstrasser I haven't been invited to visit Port Charles #GH...and I doubt I ever will be. I'd never say "no"-I miss Dorian

And about Paul Rauch back last month....

robin strasser ‏@robinstrasser

@NelsonBranco just e mailed me that Paul Rauch has passed away. Paul worked & lived fiercely. A complicated man whose brand was tenacity.

JERRY VER DORN Joins New “ONE LIFE TO LIVE”

http://rdsn.net/buzz/2013/01/07/jerry-ver-dorn-joins-new-one-life-to-live/

Hello Everybody. One Life Lives. And good things come to those who wait. Or so it is said. About an hour ago I agreed to be part of theOLTL revival and I’m thrilled to be involved in entertainment history as the show we love moves to other formats. The fans consistent drum beat of support played a large part in Prospect Park never giving up trying to find a solution. And today they announced it to the world. With the cherry-on-the-top-news that Agnes Nixon has been hired as a consultant! For those who doubted, I don’t blame you as this has never been done before. For those who never lost hope and never stopped writing and calling, well, good things come to those who wait. Congratulations to you all. Welcome back to Llanview. Love, jerry verDorn.

I would expect so.
So far, The Young and the Restless and Beyond the Gates are airing repeats on Thanksgiving Day.

Hey now..we all gain weight as we age...are you a "Fattiest"??? : ) I get what you're saying, but Alan in reality (if we divorce him from Bernau, which I can't) is a midwestern guy, who conceivably could have become a "fat cat" I think the Spaulding's should have been from the east coast, or even southern, like Savannah or Charleston, some place that would give a southern gothic vibe that both Bernau and McKinnesy would be great at. RR and MD did seem more midwestern so that COULD have worked with the proper writing and direction. Clips of RR when he first was introduced was weird cause he is kind of sexy..he gives off a total different vibe then Bernau as his Alan is more physical and mischievous then what we were used to. Marj could have played a more down to earth Alex...but both of them simply became Snidely Whiplash and Myrn Clegg 2.0

I don't know if this counts, but Thorsten Kaye wrote Zach and Kendall's vows for when they got married on the yacht on AMC

Victoria Rowell had a hand with a lot of Drus stories and dialogue I think.

Because randomly meeting in a field or abandoned playground seemed stupider? Some of those Peapack sets...RME. Alexandra Spaulding eating random Quick Mart hotdogs....the world shudders.

There is so little up with Alan/Trish, it's hard to tell what exactly drew them to one another.
Early Van was a lot like Alan, in that she had that roving eye. I guess the difference was that Alan always reverted back to type, while Vanessa fundamentally shifted after Billy. The only time she had a couple of brief affairs, she ended up nearly getting raped.
