As Soap Opera Network first reported on March 16, Deadline‘s Nellie Andreeva is reporting that ABC has officially canceled “The Revolution” and plans to slide “General Hospital” into the 2:00 PM ET/1:00 PM PT timeslot beginning Monday, September 10, the same day the network hands over the 3:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT time period to affiliates. The news was later reported by The New York Times.

It was last week Wednesday (April 4, 2012) when Soap Opera Network Tweeted, via a very reliable source, that within ten days a decision on the future of “General Hospital” would be made by the network. Tomorrow, April 12 (or Saturday, April 14, depending on how you look at it), marks the one year anniversary of Black Thursday (April 14, 2011), which is best known to many as the day that ABC announced the cancellations of both “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” and the launches of “The Chew” and “The Revolution.” It was also the day Source Interlink announced a licensing deal with American Media over Soap Opera Digest and newly defunct Soap Opera Weekly.

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star Alexis Bellino tweeted earlier this evening that she had been brought in for a cameo appearance on ABC’s “General Hospital.”

The sometime’s actress first alluded to her appearance on a daytime soap opera when she said, “I’ve been keeping a secret but SO excited cuz I’m in LA for an acting role on a popular soap & I get to share it w/ all of you today!” She would later follow up the tweet by saying, “Guess what?! I just arrived on set of General Hospital for my 1st cameo appearance! EXCITING! I can’t tell details yet but I will soon!” Her tweet was re-tweeted by “GH” executive producer Frank Valentini.

Bellino revealed that she had been welcomed back by “General Hospital” after reportedly doing a good job today:

Yeeheee! Leaving General Hospital set now and they said they’ll be having me back! Are you kidding?! OMGosh! SO much fun! TYJ!!!

Per her Twitter posting, Bellino will first air on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.

When asked what meeting his daughter was like, Jack took a deep breath and fought back tears, saying, “Um, we hugged again, and I just knew this was her.”

Jack explained that Kerry had come to his concert in Florida hoping to meet him and brought an old photo of her birth mother and Wagner. Kerry managed to get backstage to her dad before the concert started. Jack said, “So I go to the backstage door and in rushes this crying girl, hugging me… I stepped away and she says, ‘You don’t know who I am?’ I said, ‘No,’ and she said, ‘I’m your daughter.’”

For the full interview, watch “Anderson Cooper” on Tuesday, April 10. Check local listings for time and station.

UPDATE 12:23 PM ET on 4/10/12: A “General Hospital” representative tells Soap Opera Network that Lozano will first air the week of May 7, 2012 as Téa Delgado from “One Life to Live.”

PREVIOUS: After weeks of speculation, Soap Opera Network can now report that actress Florencia Lozano will be reprising her role as Téa Delgado from “One Life to Live” on ABC’s “General Hospital” in the coming weeks. The news was broken by website We Love Soaps.

It was on Friday, March 23, 2012, when executive producer Frank Valentini revealed on Twitter that there was “Exciting #GH casting news coming… stay tuned!” Soon afterward, Soap Opera Digest reported that the news would be announced as soon as Monday, March 26, 2012. Since then there had not been a word uttered from Valentini or a show spokesperson in regards to the producers tweet. Although, on Friday, April 6, 2012, Valentini did post the following on Twitter:

As for the #GH casting news, thanks for waiting… I am so excited to announce the lovely @finolahughes is now on contract!

— Frank Valentini (@valentinifrank) April 6, 2012

The industry was abuzz after learning of Hughes’ status upgrade at “GH,” but there were those, including myself, who didn’t believe she was the casting news Valentini had been alluding to all along:

@ggmarie1234 That wasn’t the news. The news still hasn’t come out.
