Daytime Dish: As the World Turns Canceled by CBS

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, CBS, Cancellations,

Come next September, CBS will have a new hole to fill on its daytime calendar. That’s the month As the World Turns will come to its end.

Today’s cancellation announcement comes just three months after Guiding Light officially closed up shop. World, like Light, has been on the air for over 50 years.

“We are disappointed and saddened by the news that the show is not being renewed,” exec producer Chris Goutman said. “It will certainly be a loss for all of us, and for the show’s loyal audience.”

Daytime Dish: Marlena and John Cut from Days of Our Lives

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, NBC, News,

One of daytime’s popular soaps has just been hit with two of the most dreaded words today: budget cuts.

In hopes of keeping Days of Our Lives up and running for at least another 18 months, the sudser’s producers have been forced to make a few difficult decisions. Unfortunately for fans, that means saying goodbye to two of the show’s longest-running characters: Marlena Evans and John Black.

Despite some work on other projects, actress Deidre Hall has been with the 43-year-old NBC program since 1976. Her on-and-off daytime husband, Drake Hogestyn, joined DOOL back in 1986.

Genie Francis Returning to General Hospital

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Daytime, Drama, ABC, General Hospital, Announcements, News,

Genie Francis, one half of daytime’s famed duo ‘Luke and Laura’, is returning to General Hospital, albeit briefly.

Francis will reprise her role as “Laura"on the ABC soap beginning August 26. Francis told the Associated Press the stint will be short and will deal mainly with her relationship with daughter Lulu Spencer (played by Emmy-nominated actress Julie Marie Berman). Genie Francis also indicated that she would resurrect her role as Laura on a more permanent basis if offered. “I would stay on, but General Hospital honestly doesn’t seem to want that relationship with this character at the moment. They want little short doses during sweeps periods. It’s not entirely up to me. I’m thrilled and delighted my audience stands behind me. If they didn’t, you can be sure I wouldn’t get to come back for these visits.”
