Just a short time ago, Prospect Park released the following statement to Soap Opera Network regarding the latest developments surrounding its discussions with Disney/ABC Domestic Television and the use of the characters Starr Manning, Todd Manning and John McBain. According to the company, shortly after deciding to postpone production of "All My Children" and "One Life to Live," they made an agreement with ABC that would allow "General Hospital" to utilize the characters so that they could "stay alive with the fans and also so that the actors could remain working." The company also tells Soap Opera Network that "Everyone at ABC and on the production staff of 'General Hospital' understood that this was a temporary arrangement until production started once again on 'One Life to Live.' Now the time has come to start production and Prospect Park needs to, once again, cast these characters including Llanview transplants Michael Easton (John) and Kristen Alderson (Starr)."
