"Days of our Lives" and "General Hospital" continue to make changes to their writing staffs.
Soap fans across the web aren't sure what to believe anymore as there are reports that Prospect Park is now without enough funding to support both "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" on its Online Network (TOLN), but considering both soaps were just a small part of the overall planning behind the network does that now mean that the Online Network itself is dead as well?
In a new Facebook posting that went up just a short time ago, actress Susan Lucci has taken to the social networking service to clear the air regarding the status of "All My Children" and its move to the internet and plans for her inclusion in the online version of the long running ABC soap.
On Monday afternoon, Vincent Irizarry learned of Jamey Giddens (of Daytime Confidential) rather strong implication on Twitter that lack of cooperation along with Agnes Nixon and Lorraine Broderick's "story projections" were a major reason production company Prospect Park decided to reportedly halt early production efforts to move "All My Children" to the internet. Read on to find out how the none too pleased Daytime Emmy Award winner responded to the claim on Facebook on Monday evening.
Prospect Park decides to move forward with plans for "One Life to Live," while delaying the launch of "All My Children" for the time being. But why the sudden change of plans?
It was Tuesday, October 4 when Soap Opera Network first reported on the current status of union discussions between the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) and Prospect Park following word back in July that Prospect Park would be launching "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" on the web. Now more than a month later, and with news that "AMC" is being delayed for various reasons, an AFTRA rep tells Soap Opera Network that they are…
There has been much discussed about "All My Children" 2.0 following a report by Soaps in Depth in which the magazine reported on its website that "All My Children," as conceived by the minds behind the scenes at Prospect Park, has been placed on hold. This of course is after months of rumors and speculation stating that the company had planned to launch the show just days following its September 23 ABC finale and again in January 2012 following the network finale of sister…
As "One Life to Live" winds down production on its television run, the show has landed the mother of all returns -- literally. Agnes Nixon, who created "OLTL" and sister soap "All My Children," will make an appearance on the show as, what else, a soap opera scribe.
"Good Morning America" will pay tribute to the canceled daytime drama "One Life to Live" before the show leaves ABC Daytime for Prospect Park.
As in previous weeks, ratings for soaps are unavailable at press time but the numbers are out for talk shows including "The Chew," "The Talk" and "The View."
Since we reported an update to ABC's decision to hand over the "General Hospital" timeslot in September 2012 back to its affiliates in the Disney/ABC Television Groups plan to launch a new talk show hosted by Katie Couric, fans have been up in arms over the possible demise of a daytime institution (on top of the demises of "All My Children" and "One Life to Live") after a number of them started calling their local ABC affiliates and reportedly were told that…
"All My Children" ended its television run on Friday, September 23, 2011, but pop-culture artist David O'Keefe has captured the essence of what made the soap opera special to millions of viewers for more than 41-years courtesy of his new painting "A Tribute to 'All My Children' - Pine Valley," which took two months from concept to fruition.
As Soap Opera Network first reported yesterday evening, Lisa De Cazotte has been hired to fill the shoes of the departing Noel Maxam as Co-Executive Producer of NBC's "Days of our Lives." In a statement issued earlier today to the press, Co-EP Greg Meng confirmed that De Cazotte will be joining him as Co-Executive Producer and that, “ Ken Corday is excited to have Lisa join the 'Days of our Lives' family."
With the cancellations of "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" back in April it was unclear at the time as to where their replacement shows "The Chew" and "The Revolution" would film their daily episodes. Now with "Chew" filming in New York and soon "The Revolution" set to begin filming in New York as well, Soap Opera Network has learned that ABC Daytime is shifting much of its operations to New York City including talent management and media relations.
EXCLUSIVE! Sources have confirmed to Soap Opera Network that "Days of our Lives" has fired Co-Executive Producer Noel Maxam. His replacement will be former "Passions" Executive Producer Lisa De Cazotte.
