Soap Operas. You know I watch them. And I think it all started with Passions.
My Nana started watching Passions first. And she told my sister and I about it. My sister didn’t really give it much thought until she watched it with my grandmother one day. Then I volunteered at my school’s convent for a week one summer. There was a TV in the room but it only got the broadcast channels. So I decided to give Passions a try.
Breathe In, Breathe Out, SPOILERS!

One Life to Live: The Return
Fear not, fellow One Life to Live fans! Our soap hath returned!
It lives online thanks to Prospect Park and has just completed its first week. So, how was it?
So far, I think it’s been a success. The cast is full of veterans, once again led by Erika Slezak as Viki. And the show was wise to open with her and Clint. It was like when the shows start up again in September and we see all those familiar faces again. It also answered one of the cliff hangers from when OLTL signed off in January 2012—Viki accepted Clint’s proposal. Fear not, Buchanan fans, Nigel is still around and working at Llanfair.

The Return of the ABC Soaps?
ABC Daytime fans may have gotten an early Christmas gift. It’s been reported that Prospect Park is looking to revive “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” sometime in 2013.
For those who forgot or didn’t know, ABC announced these two long running soaps were cancelled. But shortly after, Prospect Park announced they had bought the rights to the two shows and planned to continue them online. Actors from both shows signed on to continue their roles and things were swimming along. “All My Children” still ran a week wrapping up the show but then, on Friday, had a deranged JR Chandler (Jacob Young) fire into a party filled with the entire cast. Then the screen went blank, with the promise of finding out who JR shot when Prospect Park got the show back up and running.

Farewell, Llanview! (Part Two)
For Part One, go here.
On to the finale of “One Life to Live.” A month later, and I still have trouble believing the show is off the air.

If I Ran Television…
Well, not really all of television. Just ABC’s daytime programming.
“All My Children” ended. I was certain the show would go out with a bang. I just didn’t expect it to be a literal bang as JR fired into a crowd of the main characters. And then to roll the credits! Will anyone even remember by the time Prospect Park gets AMC online?
