Confirmation of Revival of All My Children and One Life to Live

Rich Frank and Jeff Kwatinetz of The Online Network, www.theonlinenetwork.com, shared the following today, indicating they are one step closer to reviving the two soaps cancelled by ABC last year.

They do not, however, offer a time frame for such and a phone call to the pr firm sharing the statement did not yield any answers.

"We are pleased to confirm that Prospect Park is reviving the beloved soap operas, All My Children and One Life To Live as the anchor programs on The Online Network (TOLN).

"Today we are also pleased to confirm that Prospect Park has: 1) signed guild agreements with both SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and the DGA (Directors Guild of America); 2) entered into a consulting agreement with Agnes Nixon the creator of All My Children and One Life to Live guaranteeing her active involvement; 3) hired Foz McDermott (coordinating producer Heroes) as TOLN's head of production, Jennifer Pepperman (Director, One Life to Live) as Executive Producer on One Life to Live, and Ginger Smith (Producer, All My Children) as Executive Producer on All My Children; and 4) arranged the necessary financing to begin production in February on both All My Children and One Life To Live.

 "We thank the loyal audience and new generation of fans of both shows who have demonstrated that passion and exciting story lines are not just reserved for traditional television. Their enduring support encouraged us to move forward each and every day. We look forward to sharing more details including our launch air date and additional specifics in the coming weeks."

The notice, sent from the public relations firm, Principal Communications Group in Los Angeles, invites viewers to visit www.theonlinenetwork.com to receive updates, but the Web site contains nothing but a blank form for those interested in signing up for updates.
