I love the idea of a new soap. I know the chances of a new soap premiering on network TV are pretty much nil, so any new soap that debuts will be online. PP would have been a success had they started off smaller like this is doing. Hoping this lasts. Also secretly hoping that whoever has the rights to AMC these days can sell them the rights.

[All My Shadows]

OMG it looks like South Park!

[NothinButAttitude]

I doubt he'll sign on seeing how AMC 2.0 went. I doubt any of the Prospect Park players will sign on.

[soapsfordays]

I disagree. A job is a job. An actor wants to be working. And they are fully aware that NO acting job is secure. That's the way the business works.

Agree if the story is good I bet we could see some PP actors show up there

[Soaplovers]

And since its 40 episodes...the actors will have a little more stability then the PP situation.

[DramatistDreamer]

If you're an unemployed actor (and some actors can be out of stable work for years), never again can turn into never say never.

[Gray Bunny]

I thought of that, and those goofy graphics they did for B&B's 7,000th episode.

Hopefully something substantial will come of this.

Meanwhile, a SoapClassics DVD/Online Site revival would be a lovely dream come true.

Well, my all time soap fave & future wife is their first confirmed cast member, so I'm in. But the description seems really odd/uninteresting, and they're going to change her look and make her seem older -- WTF??

The first thing that came to mind for me were the Busy Town books by Richard Scarry. Remember Lowly Worm?

And yet, I feel like I'm insulting Richard Scarry by saying that. I loved those books (and the TV show) as a kid.

And I love the cameo by the REMAX realty balloon in the upper left corner.

[Soaplovers]

I'll be intrigued to see her new look...I knew she'd end up on a new soap..but I knew she didn't fit on the current four soaps on the air

[Gray Bunny]

That's their subtle way of saying their shows are Above The Crowd!

[cassadine1991]

There's still that rumor of her joining Days
