"These shows have proven to be very popular with a significant, loyal fan base, not to mention Oprah herself is a big fan,” said Erik Logan, president, OWN. “Many of our viewers across numerous platforms have expressed their passion for the soaps so we are especially excited to air this limited engagement on OWN.” “We are really excited to bring OWN viewers and our audience at large an opportunity to catch up on ‘All My Children’ and ‘One Life to Live’ on traditional television,” said Jeff Kwatinetz, CEO Prospect Park Networks. “We look forward to our millions of fans enjoying the first 40 episodes of the shows." “All My Children” revisits the citizens of Pine Valley following the cliffhanger finale of the long-running network series, which saw a gun pointed at a room filled with the community’s elite, and a shot ringing out. Now, five years later, longtime series characters including Brooke English (Julia Barr) and Adam Chandler (David Canary) reflect on the aftermath of that fateful event, new characters are introduced, and life in Pine Valley continues to be fueled by the drama and action that has made the Emmy Award-winning series a fan favorite for decades.

Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Now can I get them uncensored on Hulu? Please? Eric Nelsen's pretty, filthy little mouth's not going to hold up for another minute! I had hoped Oprah might reconsider of late, but I suspected her ego would be too monstrous to walk back her public dismissal of the shows - which made sense for her, at that time, but is still somewhat embarrassing today with OWN having spiraled out and then having to turn to Tyler Perry and scripted soaps. I'm glad she did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I'm counting on others here to back me up and email PP about this uncensored on Hulu thing, alright. I already pitched it to Kwatinetz a few days ago. Knowing PP that means we're only about two more emails away from a reversal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
