(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- ABC Daytime continues to reduce their annual daytime output with special encore presentations.
Last summer, word went out that ABC Daytime was looking to cut costs by reducing their output by about 10% a year. The plan was to do this by cutting up to twenty episodes from each daytime soap and replace them with re-airings. Although the Writer's Guild of America opposed the change, ABC Daytime has been filling their schedule with random encore presentations since October 2010. Continuing that pattern, on Wednesday, January 19, "All My Children," "One Life to Live," and "General Hospital" will celebrate the sexy men of their line-up with the repeats (see list below). Following that, on Friday, February 11, the three soaps will re-air some of their most popular weddings from the past.
Fans may want to pay extra attention to the "One Life to Live's" February 11 encore that features the wedding of Blair Cramer and Todd Manning as played by Emmy winner Roger Howarth. ABC hints that Howarth's appearance in this re-aring may be a bit more than coincidental. The network reports that this is a "tease of the upcoming story with Ted King [Tomas; debuts on January 21] and a photograph featuring Howarth's Todd!" In August, Soap Opera Network's man-in-charge Errol Lewis broke news to our readers that "OLTL" was brokering a deal to bring back Howarth. Does ABC's tease concerning the popular actor play into that report? For right now ABC is keeping mum.
