That's better now.

One Life to Live" begins filming on Monday, March 11.

Both OLTL & AMC look like European soaps like Hollyoaks with their outdoor scenes

Yeah the outside shots are very well done.

Five minutes til Michael Fairman interviews Melissa Archer LIVE at http://www.youtube.com/user/TOLNSoaps

I still cannot believe some people don't think that you can see the shows for free.

It says...on Hulu, Hulu Plus, and iTunes....Regular Hulu is free people!!!!!!! *to no one on this board, just venting my frustration about other people I've heard complain elsewhere*

You know who we need to get this word out? Jane Elliot. She told GH fans to set their DVR's for the big time-slot change, and by God, they did!

I can't stop glancing @ the people at the bottom of the screen. I would be terrified. How awkward! LOL

Cool idea doing this though. Awesome!

Well, the episodes will probably hop on YT sooner or later. Since the Canadians have it on FX. They'll probably DVR and upload the eps. But, that's not the point. The point is. If someone really wanted to see the soaps. They'd take the lousy hour out of their day to get on a website and watch them.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: they don't get it because they don't want to get it. They didn't just want AMC and OLTL back, they wanted it back on a network (even ABC). And the FX Canada announcement will only make them more determined.

Yes that freaked me out and made me feel uncomfortable too. I had to make sure people couldn't see me (I didn't know I had to wear clothes to watcha video)

I have already seen some of that reaction--boohooing about why does Canada get it on TV and not the US...

• both of these look cheap and terrible, but at lease amc looks like something that was produced in the last century. yikes.

  • They look the same way they looked the last few years on broadcast to me, but yeah, not great. I don’t really see the need for them to return and I imagine a lot of the original fans aren’t interested in figuring out how to follow these shows in a digital universe. But for all the talent involved, I hope they find their audience.

• I had high hopes for these shows. Expected them to feel more fresh and modern. Lookin’ pretty shoddy, hopefully it’s just a poorly edited set of trailers.

• Wow. By the looks of these you realize how much they weren’t missed. Antiquated story lines and character arcs, these just don’t fit within a digital world. Now the old fans will scream that these stories are still valid but let’s see if they take the effort to find them online and pay the sub fee.

• Cheap? This is a soap opera for cry out loud. This looks the same as it did when it aired on television. I honestly can’t wait to see these shows. I nearly lost it when it got canned.

• What did you expect? They’re not produced by ABC anymore.

• I don’t think they look a ton different from when they were on TV. It looks like it may be filmed differently thought.

• I love these shows!! But these trailers do not inspire me to watch!

It’s funny, the soap fans bitch when the shows are taken off, then you give them the shows the same way they were when they were broadcast on ABC and they still complain.

Be thankful for what you have, digital is the future, the internet is the future of Television, broadcast networks are a dying old midcentury business.

Melissa described the new sets as upgraded in comparison to the old sets at ABC's studios.

I love how no one knows how many episodes were filmed probably because they film out of order and may have filmed scenes from episodes 1-40 and are now editing them. So I bet when they start to air TOLN will have 6 weeks of episodes completely edited and ready to air

It's the tyranny of nostalgia.

I'd like the shows to be on a television station just because I can't justify spending $20 a month to watch and keep episodes of AMC and OLTL. That said I'm not complaining that they are only online in the US as it is better than nothing.

I wonder though how many people on deadline.com even care about soap operas.

The first week of shows were filmed last week, according to a couple of the actors.
