GH moving to primetime?
It seems that due to Katie Couric’s new daytime show on ABC, there may be another option for GH rather than going the AMC/OLTL route.
TV Guide has reported that ABC might be thinking of moving General Hospital to primetime. GH would become a short-run summer series on ABC, but hey, at least it’d still be on the air!
Though it’s all speculation at the moment, I think if it...

You only have One Life To Live
This afternoon, the 43-year long soap opera One Life To Live came to an end, and boy was it a finale. Ending on more of a cliffhanger than a tearjerker, without giving anything away, let’s just say you’ll be surprised (though personally, I wasn’t. I figured it out long ago).
Vikki had it right on yesterday’s episode when she said that some of the viewers are stay-at-home...

This just in, SOAPNet to be off air in March
It’s just been announced that the SOAPNet channel will be off air on March 23, to be replaced by a new channel, Disney Junior.
In my opinion, do we really need ANOTHER Disney tv station? I still say SOAPNet should stay and broadcast ALL the soaps, picking up All My Children and One Life To Live. That way the soaps get their very own channel to air on, and I’m pretty sure the...

On General Hospital yesterday...
Spinelli and Lulu talked about when the two of them were in danger with Alcazar, and when LuLu hit Jason over the head with a tequila bottle. Now if you’ve been keeping up with SOAPNet’s reruns of GH, you’ll know that they JUST showed that same episode a few nights ago. Coincidence?

JR Martinez wins Dancing With The Stars!
Former All My Children actor JR Martinez won Dancing With The Stars tonight! Martinez will be taking home the mirrorball with dance partner Karina Smirnoff, who hasn’t won the show before this! JR beat out popular contestants Rob Kardashian and Ricki Lake, who too were good, but in my opinion no one deserved it more than JR. Great since the beginning and has only improved throughout the...

Is SOAPnet trying to prepare us?
Has anyone else realized that SOAPnet has been playing old episodes of General Hospital and One Life To Live in the wee hours of the night? Not super old, but old enough where a lot has changed, and yet nothing has changed at all. But I can’t help but wonder, though SOAPnet seems to be playing these due to the loss of All My Children, is SOAPnet also secretly preparing us for what’s...

Bold and the Brandon (eh, cheesy)
Before Dirty Soap premiered, the only soaps I watched were General Hospital, One Life To Live and Days of our Lives.

I had never watched Bold and the Beautiful before and didn’t even know who Brandon was, but upon getting to know him through Dirty Soap, I am...
