April 29, 2013 By Marie F

If it’s not for TV, then it must be for internet TV. This is the case for two canceled soap operas on ABC – All My Children and One Life to Live.

Hollywood producers Rich Frank formerly of Walt Disney TV and Jeff Kwatinetz, a talent manager, have taken the two old dramas online in the hope of gaining lifelong fans. Starting today, half-hour episodes will be shown via the free Hulu.com website and the paid service Hulu Plus from Monday to Thursday. The two apparently want to take advantage of the growing interest on TV series shown online pioneered by the House of Cards.

In reviving the old drama series, the two Hollywood veterans also aim to capture the younger and more internet-savvy audience through the use of modern music, contemporary actors and faster-paced storylines. At the same time, they still want to gain the attention of the older viewers with the same suspense and drama the series was known for. This move is considered to be a test for the oldies whether they will be enticed to migrate online. [Read more…]

Although this is not yet confirmed, Kate Walsh who plays Addison Montgomery hinted there’s a strong possibility the finale will lead to a wedding for a happy ending. Walsh added her character deserves a great ending to her relationship after going through her struggles from heartaches to hardships.

In the drama series, Addison Montgomery has adopted a son Henry and is near achieving her fairy tale life she’s always dreamed of for many years. Analysts are discounting an unhappy ending for the main character so it’s more of a positive finale.

Chloe King runs out of lives

September 19, 2011 By Marie F

The Nine Live of Chloe King was recently reported to have been axed by ABC Family as it failed to deliver the kind of ratings the network was expecting from the series.

The series, which was based on the popular young adult novels written by Liz Braswell involving the aforementioned Chloe King, who discovers she has cat-like powers and that she is actually a warrior involved in a battle between human beings and an ancient race of beings.

The Nine Lives of Chloe King had an impressive debut, racking up more than two million viewers for the first episode. The relatively strong showing could be attributed to the fact that the novels had a strong following. But show wasn’t able to successfully hold on to its viewers. By the time the finale episode was aired the show was only being viewed by one million viewers – compare it to one of ABC Family’s top new series Switched at Birth, which was already drawing an average of three million viewers every episode.

But while The Nine Lives of Chloe King got axed, another series in the ABC Family roster was given a new lease on life. The Lying Game, which is also based on another young adult novel series, was asked for another order of 12 episodes, to extend the previous 10-episode order to 22. The show is not showing a strong performance ratings wise as well, as it only gets 1.3 million viewers per episode. So it’s kind of a strange move that while Chloe King was cancelled, The Lying Game was renewed.
