The article says that when AMC and OLTL were axed in 2011 that people said the genre was over and done, that even Oprah had said it was time to stick a fork in it.

On April 29th both AMC and OLTL return with fresh 30-minute episodes produced by Prospect Park and available via itunes and hulu. It's a pioneering effort one whose feet are firmly planted in the past

Agnes says "Soaps madde history by being the first shows to move from radio to tv, now they're the first to move from tv to the internet, and she's thrilled to tears that she's still here to witness this.

Agnes is a creative consultant on both shows which feature many returning favorites including Thorsten Kaye, he says "This is an opportunity to fix what went wrong at ABC, there were some really funky stories being told at the end of our run, and all of them can use distance from that"

AMC will jump 5 years into the future so all the young ones are now teens and young adults are more dramatically exciting

Thom Racina says "We returning with a whole new look and something better that you've never seen on a soap, the sets, costumes lighting and music are young and hip, the characters talk the way people really talk, if new viewers will give us two minutes they're more than likely going to stick around"

It's the long time viewers who deserve thanks. Erika says "We owe all this to them, because they never gave up. When ABC foolishly cancelled us, the fans screamed, yelled and carried on and damn it worked! PP saw all that passion and believed there was still life in us" and goes on to say that "anyone who knows soaps that when you're dead, you're never truly dead"

The caption for TK's pic says "Like with any new business, there will be growing pains"

The caption for the other pic says Facing hard times at the Banner, Viki hires hotshot internet reporter Jeffrey King

Really, are people that sensitive? It's called a joke. No one has a sense of humor. He didn't personally attack you or others and honesty, it's up to people who watch OLTL (and AMC, et. al.) to usurp the stereotype.
