Much focus has been on Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) and Hope (Annika Noelle), but things are changing.

It was thought that early hints indicated Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) could have been Luna’s father after he and Poppy (Romy Park) spent a memorable night together decades ago.
Even Rj (Joshua Hoffman) seemingly picked up on that, pushing Luna to ask Poppy about her father.

Hey, "Bold And The Beautiful" fans. We are back with another big, Bold And The Beautiful scoop for you guys. You remember Jack Finnegan, right? He's Finn's biological father on the show played by actor Ted King. Well, he is surely on his way back to the show according to the folks over at Soapcentral.com and their sources. The last time we saw Jack in action, he was getting heavily chewed out by Finn and Li for not telling them the truth about his affair he had with crazy Sheila Carter way back in the day, which ended up spawning Finn's life. After Jack was told to leave, we never saw him again. Well, that is all about to change. Jack is coming back to Los Angeles as early as next week, which is the week of July 4-8, 2022!

Universal Pictures is reportedly developing a remake of Jean-Claude Van Damme‘s 1994 film, Timecop and it doesn’t sound like Jcvd would be involved with it in any way. Universal is planning on doing a complete re-imagining of the 1994 time travel classic based on the series from Dark Horse Comics. The 1994 sci-fi film was directed by Peter Hyams starring Van Damme as a police officer who regulated time travel in the future and became his most commercially-successful star vehicle. The film was adapted into a TV series of the same title, in 1997 with T.W. King and Cristi Conaway as its stars. A direct-to-dvd...

Will The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Ridge Forrester be — gasp! — recast?

Unlike a vast majority of shocking daytime TV exits, “Ridge will not be dead or presumed dead” following his Sept. 14 swan song, Bell tells TV Guide Magazine. Rather, “He will just not be in the picture” following his and Brooke’s honeymoon, which means that “at some point it will be necessary for Ridge to return to the show” — very likely in the form of a different actor.

Canceled soaps "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" have officially gotten the axe -- again.
Prospect Park, the company that promised to start an online network to re-launch the beloved soaps online, announced today that it has run into so many hurdles in trying to negotiate contracts for the soaps' new leases on life that it will be impossible to continue.
Rich Frank and Jeff Kwatinetz of Prospect Park issued a joint statement with the news, saying, "After five months of negotiations with various guilds, hundreds of presentations to potential financial and technology partners, and a hope that we could pioneer a new network for the future, it is with great disappointment that we are suspending our aspirations to revive 'One Life to Live' and 'All My Children' via online distribution."

Sorry, soap fans: The painful economics of running soap operas on the internet have made it impossible to keep the shows alive after they’ve been yanked off of broadcast TV. Prospect Park announced today that its plan to move One Life to Life and All My Children to a planned Online Network in 2012 has been shuttered, dashing any hope of keeping Llanview and Pine Valley fans satiated.
The media and production company founded in 2009 by Jeffrey Kwatinetz and former Disney Studios head Rich Frank was unable to reach guild deals to make the soaps’ run on the internet a reality.

A day filled with tears, laughter, and hugs erupted into applause when the last scene of One Life to Live finished taping in its ABC studio Friday. Today saw scenes moving along at the famously whiplash-like speed common for daytime soaps, but with increasing fanfare and emotion. Then the studio quietly began to fill up in the late afternoon as Erika Slezak (Viki Lord) and Jerry vern Dorn (Clint Buchanan, right) started to shoot that last scene (which is not the last one that will be seen on the show’s finale in January) in Viki’s Llanfair living room.

Fans eagerly awaiting "All My Children's" return in January (albeit in online form) should probably stop holding their breath -- new reports say that the beloved-but-canceled soap will likely not return until much later in 2012.
According to Variety, Prospect Park, the company that plans to resurrect "AMC" and fellow canceled soap "One Life to Live," which ends its 43-year run in January, has hit a wall in negotiations to bring both shows online and plans will need to be pushed back by several months.
While many "Oltl" stars have signed on to continue the show online, including Erika Slezak, Michael Easton, Ted King, Kassie DePaiva and Sean Ringgold, "AMC" actors haven't been as receptive. Only Cameron Mathison and Lindsey Hartley are officially in, with Susan Lucci declining the offer outright.

HollywoodNews.com: Erika Slezak, the star of “One Life to Live,” has agreed to go with the show to its new online incarnation. Prospect Park Productions, run by Jeff Kwatinetz and Dick Cook, just announced that they’ve reach deals with Slezak, Ted King, Kassie dePaiva, and Michael Easton to continue with the show. “One Life” leaves ABC on January 20, 2012.

Deadline reports that "AMC" star Susan Lucci, who's reportedly none-too-pleased with ABC, has turned down offers to stay on the series with a salary close to what she's currently earning. The 64-year-old is allegedly gunning for more money and fewer hours -- to keep her options open for an opportunity in primetime.
Prospect Park seems to be having much better luck with "Oltl." The company released a statement confirming deals with four of the series' biggest stars. Ted King (Tomas Delgado), Michael Easton (John McBain), Kassie DePaiva (Blair Cramer) and soap legend Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord) are all on board.
Theirs are the first confirmations of any ABC cast members since plans...
