It's Official: 'All My Children' & 'One Life to Live' Heading Online

What Happens Next? The Answers to the Questions Surrounding ABC and Prospect Park

http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/news/item/5024-what-happens-next-the-answers-to-the-questions-surrounding-abc-and-prospect-park

Excerpts below:

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- As we reported yesterday, we likely have to thank our federal government for providing the funding necessary for Prospect Park to pick up "All My Children" and "One Life to Live," which were both canceled by ABC on Thursday, April 14. The announcement that ABC would be licensing the two iconic soaps to Prospect Park was made on Thursday, July 7, but according to sources the financial deal actually came together back in May, just in time for what is said to be the deadline period for the government to hand out grant money to companies looking to invest in New Media.  

What we know about this deal is that upon their completion on ABC, "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" will be migrated to an as-yet-to-be-named Hulu-esque internet video service that would allow both daily soap operas to continue their storytelling for millions of online users and "be delivered with the same quality and in the same format and length," as fans have come to expect for more than forty years, according to the joint press release issued from Disney/ABC and Prospect Park. Translation: One hour per day, five days a week, 52 weeks a year will remain within the realm of reality. What wasn't clear at the time was after both soaps complete their runs on ABC, they will also conclude on SOAPnet.

Soap Opera Network has confirmed with the same representative that the programming in question will not include "All My Children" or "One Life to Live." In fact, after yesterday's announcement was released, the Disney/ABC Television Group made it clear that they are no longer in charge of the day-to-day operations of either of your favorite daytime soaps once their runs are completed on ABC and SOAPnet. If you want to know what's going to happen next on "All My Children" after it ends on Friday, September 23, don't call, write or email Brian Frons, President, Daytime, Disney/ABC Television Group. He is not in charge of that show and he will not be in charge of "One Life to Live" either after the series airs its final broadcast on Friday, January 20, 2012.

Now that "One Life" is continuing with a second one under Prospect Park, fans around the world are wondering how does this affect the storylines, how does this affect the cast, the crews, the writers and even the producers? Digging a little further, with last month's announcement that Ron Carlivati, who currently serves as "One Life to Live's" head writer, would be transitioning to "General Hospital" as a script writer later this year when the show completes its run on ABC, it really begs the question of what happens next? Not only for that soap, but for "All My Children" as well. "It's too early to know," said a ABC insider requesting anonymity. "The details are too fresh on everyone's minds for it to be determined who will be running these shows, or particularly writing them, after they finish their ABC runs."

But back to Carlivati. He along with "One Life" Executive Producer Frank Valentini signed new deals with ABC back in September of 2010. The terms of the agreements were not disclosed, but it was understood to last two years for Valentini and three years for Carlivati, so does that mean the two will remain with "One Life" under the guidance of Prospect Park? Or has ABC opted to keep the dynamic duo under its charge leaving new blood to step in and head write and produce the show with the "same quality and in the same format and length" as before? As our insider said before "It's too early to know." There is no word on what this development means for "All My Children" Executive Producer Julie Hanan Carruthers or Head WriterLorraine Broderick.

However, one of the big questions left unanswered are where will the shows be produced? "All My Children" moved its production to the Andrita studios in Los Angeles, CA back in January of 2010 in a multi-year licensing deal. Will the show remain in that studio? It looks like it will as the cost factor would be too great for Prospect to move the series once more. However, things look a little less certain for "One Life to Live," which took over "AMC's" New York studio space housed in the ABC Television Center. With ABC no longer producing the series it is likely the series will be moved to another facility or moved to the West Coast right along with "AMC" in order for Prospect Park to better manage the daily operations of the drama series.

That last paragraph could be a problem for Roger fans, if he does not want to move out West, he may not accept any deal.  Just an FYI for you all.

ABC Sells Rights to Cancelled Soap Operas (DIS) | FINANCIAL NEWS NETWORK ONLINE

http://www.fnno.com/video/finance/331-abc-sells-rights-cancelled-soap-operas-dis-abc

"Disney's (NYSE:DIS) ABC has sold the online rights to "One Life to Live" and "All My Children," two long-running soap operas scheduled to go off the air this fall, as part of a deal with Prospect Park, a TV, film and music company. The soaps may pick up where they left off on a TV-focused online network. Prospect Park is said to be finalizing its current round of funding for its Hulu-style venture in the next month to 45 days, but financial terms are not available."

NEW YORK POST SAYS - SAVED?

"All My Children" and "One Life to Live" will live on — on the Web.
Disney’s ABC has sold the online rights to the two long-running soaps, which are scheduled to go off the air in September, as part of a deal with TV, film and music company Prospect Park, The Post has learned.
Sources said the daily dramas will pick up where they left off on a new, as-yet-unnamed, TV-focused online network once the soaps finish their four-decade run on ABC.
Prospect Park, founded in 2008, is run by executives Rich Frank, a former Disney Studios boss, and Jeff Kwatinetz. Both are executive producers of USA Network’s hit show, "Royal Pains."

The firm will take charge of the same cast, crew and talent — even soap star Susan Lucci as the villainous Erica Kane — and continue the story lines.
Prospect Park is said to be finalizing its current round of funding for its Hulu-style venture in the next month to 45 days. Other unnamed financial backers are involved. The financial terms couldn’t be learned.
The soaps are expected to be the first of a number of brand-name TV shows to eventually land at the site.
News of the deal will be a huge relief to soap fans who have been campaigning for ABC to keep them on air. The broadcast network said in April it was dumping them for much less expensive, unscripted programs, "The Chew" and "Revolution."
"All My Children" launched in 1970 and "One Life to Live" began life in 1968.
A Disney spokesman didn’t respond to a request for comment. Calls to Prospect Park were not returned.
