Kroll Call

There has yet to be an official announcement, but several of the stars of All My Children have confirmed fans' biggest fear: the show will not be returning for a second season under the Prospect Park masthead. This week on Soap Central Live, we'll take a look back at the last two years of All My Children history -- cancellation to cancellation. Is there a possibility that these shows will somehow find life again? Would it have been better if All My Children and One Life to Live had never been resurrected online? We'll dissect some of the decisions made along the way that may have unwittingly alienated soap fans. From the use -- then non-use -- of curse words, to that infamous press release that said it was "too challenging for viewers" to watch four episodes of AMC per week. Plus, we'll take a look at Prospect Park's lawsuit against ABC. What is Prospect Park alleging in their $125 million lawsuit? And we also want to hear from fans to learn how they feel about the news.

The Twittersphere, Facebookiverse, and soapcentral.com message boards have been lighting up recently thanks to some controversial storylines. For episode 199 of Soap Central Live, we're inviting our most special guests to participate in the show: the fans. We couldn't have made it to our 200th episode without our listeners, so we're making sure that you have the opportunity to call in and talk about whatever is on your mind about your favorite soaps. The Young and the Restless' decision to kill off little Delia has some fans outraged, while others are lamenting that the storyline may be too much like reality. The Bold and the Beautiful has always been known for its love triangles, but do fans want to see something more than torn lovers? And how do you feel about B&B's decision to bring in Thorsten Kaye as a recast for Ronn Moss's Ridge Forrester? General Hospital's Robin may be back, but will she ever be released -- and how many more masks does the soap have up its sleeve? Another Days of our Lives gathering resulted in bloodshed, and several of the show's younger performers are set to exit. Will the exits hurt the show's momentum? We're interested in hearing from you. Be a part of the show: Join us on Friday, October 18 at 6pm Eastern/3pm Pacific and call in to 866.472.5788 to share your thoughts.
