Hype's Offical Daytime Soap Thread!

Because, I guess, ya know, Sawyer has to get his every little wish in a certain thread. Or maybe I am thinking of someone else, I dunno, whatever.


NEWS.


http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/201...ark-raised-25-million-in-abry-deal#more-19733


So, how much did Prospect Park raise from that Abry Deal? Only $25 Million it seems. Wonder if they got money elsewhere. Once the soaps go into production and start airing, they get a cut out of the ads on Hulu and I guess, a cut of the sales on iTunes.

In this thread, you can talk about any daytime soap you want. From canceled ones like Passions and As the World Turns to the current four on tv. Days of our Lives, General Hospital, Bold and the Beautiful, and Young and the Restless. As well as returning ones One Life to Live and All My Children, which launch online on Hulu, Hulu Plus, iTunes, and theonlinenetwork site this April.

 

I get most (really all) of my info from the General Hospital imdb board and Daytime Confidential and Soap Opera Network, but...


Last I read OLTL and AMC will work with GH to make sure their universe is more shared from now on. Howarth and Anderson are only suppose to film 4 weeks for OLTL, then be back on GH, likely as their OLTL characters. Easton will be shared by OLTL and GH.


The Lorenzo/Thomas storyline will finish on OLTL, even though it started on GH. Howarth, Anderson, Easton last air first or second week of March.

This week's ratings.

Also, disregard EVERY THING i just said about Easton, Howarth, and Anderson lol. Guess only Howarth will do OLTL and GH?

Can sets be done in time?! Well, I guess if there's OT Pay, yea.

Looks like quite a bit has to be done in only 4 days til taping new episodes of AMC.

 

Yes, Lucci is suppose to do one episode of the new AMC.

Howarth is suppose to film for 4 weeks. There are rumors out there on GHH (General Hospital Happenings) I read in a thread on the GH imdb board about his character.

 

There was a episode this week of GH...and Todd was in a cell in the PCPD with Rafe. Talking to McBain, whose in a cell across from them. Todd Manning says 'Oh Snap' in such a way, that, it further cements Howarth as my fav actor on GH.

 

Even more offical now.

Roger Howarth to do OLTL online and ABC's GH.

 

And Mrs. Berman (Lulu) is OUT at GH. On her own terms.

I will miss her acting powers and her looks. Esp her looks. She should play Sonya in MK Reboot.


Lulu will be recast as well.

 

Yeah, she has a chance for brighter places.

Last week's soap ratings are in, and everybody jumped up.

http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2013/03/ratings-all-soaps-up-big-in-total-viewers

1. Y&R 4,726,000 (+126,000/+142,000)
2. B&B 3,625,000 (+105,000/+541,000)
3. GH 2,885,000 (+243,000/+531,000)
4. DAYS 2,734,000 (+288,000/+245,000)

Dat 30 minute B&B is up so much. Don't watch it, but proud of it. I watch GH and Y&R. When OLTL and AMC hit online, I will watch them as well.

 

Some good news. No bad news here FYI.

And...April 29th 2013 (Monday) is the online debut on Hulu, Hulu Plus, iTunes.

http://www.deadline.com/2013/03/the...ate-for-all-my-children-and-one-life-to-live/

No mention of 'The Online Network' Site. I think The Online Network is the digital division of Prospect Park is all now. Since the soaps air on Hulu, Hulu Plus, iTunes. Which is FREE, pay, pay in that order.

 

And the new Abby is another Hollywood Heights cast member. Melissa Ordway!

And Tony Todd (Candyman, Sushi Girl, Final Destination series) is on Y&R!

http://daytimeconfidential.zap2it.c...tmz-about-footing-the-bill-for-own-food-on-yr

I can't watch the video cause Firefox says I can't, ugh. But yeah, daytime soaps don't have food on set anymore it seems

 

Well, guess things didn't work out between GH and PP. Cause...


http://daytimeconfidential.zap2it.c...n-and-roger-howarth-to-play-new-characters-on

Easton, Alderson, AND Howarth to play new characters on GH, Howarth plays Todd on first batch of film episodes for OLTL, status uncertain on that show.

I think Howarth gets recasts when OLTL films it's second batch of episodes after AMC films it's second batch.

 

This is big news, but since CBS owns part of the network, not really...


http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/201...and-the-restless-soapnet-loses-anchor-program


TV GUIDE NETWORK GETS EXCLUISVE CABLE RIGHTS TO Y&R, SOAPNet loses soap as it departs existence.

 

On what happend with Luke and Helena...

Spoiler

Err, one rumor is with Disney wanting to move GH to PP in 2014, thus making it a internet soap, they want the feud to end. But I thought Helena was suppose to last til end of summer.

Also, SOAPNet is slowly being put out. It's a issue with contracts. Where I live in Eastern NC, we have Disney Jr AND SOAPNet. I honestly can't recall when the last of the contracts are up with various providers. 2013-2015 time frame, I think.

 

Great news.

We now have a answer on how many episodes each for the *new* OLTL and AMC. 210 a year, 4 days a week. No DVD's. If you have Hulu Plus or iTunes, you can start from the beginning or buy from the beginning. iTunes has them for 99 cents.
