“Forever and a Day” creator Casey S. Hutchison is bringing the next classic, high-stakes audio drama to the fast-growing digital space this summer with “Haven Falls,” a new 15-episode scripted series featuring “Guiding Light” alum Frank Dicopoulos (ex-Frank Cooper).

Set in a fictional Midwestern town that bears the same name as the show’s title,
listeners will come to learn that in Haven Falls, everyone has a secret, and loyalty is
always up for sale. Haven Falls follows two warring families locked in a relentless battle
for control, legacy, and survival. As buried sins resurface and alliances fracture, love
becomes dangerous, truth becomes weaponized, and no one escapes unscathed.

Dicopoulos will play the show’s lead character, Victor Hale, a ruthless, unforgettable patriarch whose influence reaches into every corner of the town.

Joining Dicopoulos as series regulars are fan-favorite performers from “Forever and a Day,” including Elizabeth von Isser, Kristina Sullivan, Benjamin Bryant, BJ Van Griffin, Candice Mack and Ashley Stewart, among others.

Blending the tradition of classic daytime drama with the freedom and intimacy of audio storytelling, listeners will be introduced to the town of Haven Falls, where love is leverage, families battle against enemies, and no secret stays buried for long.

“This is soap opera in its purest form,” said Hutchison in a statement. “Big emotions. Moral gray areas. And consequences from actions that will ripple for generations.”

In addition to creating and serving as co-executive producer of the award-winning “Forever and a Day,” Hutchison has, for the last nine seasons, been co-host and panel moderator of “The Chat,” a podcast where soaps and media connect.

Distributed by Spotify for Creators, “Haven Falls,” which will make its series debut on Thursday, June 25, 2026, will release weekly episodes across all major podcast platforms, with full episodes available on the show’s official YouTube channel.

Love this - I'll be listening! This reminds me, are we getting a second season of Montecito soon? I loved that one, but it feels like a year since we had Season 1.

Nice to see Frank getting a gig.
