Brother, Can You Spare A Hug… for a Soap Fan?
By: Richard M. Simms, executive editor, Soaps In Depth magazine
Don’t be surprised if later this afternoon, some of the people in your life become unexpectedly (or extra) surly. And if you hear sobbing coming from the break room in which your office has a TV, just respectfully walk by and try to understand that for soap fans, today is going to be a tough one. Because this afternoon, another one bites the dust.
After 40 years, ALL MY CHILDREN ends its legendary run on ABC. This is only the latest blow to a medium that has, in the past decade, seen one show after another fall. When we launched Soaps In Depth magazine, there were 11 serials airing. As of Monday, we’ll be down to five. And in January, ONE LIFE TO LIVE will conclude its network run after 43 years and more than 11,000 episodes. There are plans to bring both AMC and OLTL to the Internet, but for many longtime viewers, that simply won’t be the same. Others won’t make the leap, and some question whether the transition will really even occur.
But no matter how you look at it, these are dark times for fans of a genre that has been around since the days of radio. [Read more…]
Tim Griffin Peels Back the Murky World of NBC’s PRIME SUSPECT
In an exclusive interview with theTVaddict.com, Tim Griffin, one of the stars of NBC’s gripping new drama PRIME SUSPECT shared what it has been like for him to flesh out his character Detective Augie Blando and embrace the dark, gritty world in which Maria Bello’s Det. Jane Timoney finds herself currently entrenched in. Based on the British television series of the same name, which had starred Helen Mirren, the NBC remake seeks to put a fresh twist on the series which riveted viewers on both sides of the pond.
In a candid interview, Tim was eager to share his experiences and thoughts on the show. He said that when he first read the script for the pilot, it was his gut reaction that, “It was the greatest script. The writing is the true strong point of the show. It’s smart, fresh and the characters bounce off of each other.” He was also quick to point out, “We have the best writers in the business. It’s truly original and their own.” [Read more…]
