Kroll Call

As February Sweeps continues to play out on our television screens, it's time to honor the most important resource in daytime television: the fans. This week, Soap Central Live opens the phone lines to fans to allow them to share their thoughts on what's hot in daytime. From the return of "legacy characters" on General Hospital to cast trimming on The Bold and the Beautiful. Plus, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, we'd like to hear about your favorite daytime romances. And, All My Children veteran Chrishell Stause (Amanda Dillon) returns to SCL not because she's a fan of daytime, but because of an entirely different kind of fandom. It's a surprising admission that you won't want to miss

Steve Silverman, the creator of Pretty, and Anacostia's Anthony Anderson, visit SCL to provide insight into what goes on behind the scenes at web soaps, the challenges that web series face, and the reward in seeing their projects posted online. Plus, Marcello Lanfranchi chats about the web series he's starting up, Tomorrow Waits For No One. Then, Roger Newcomb drops by to preview this year's Indie Soap Awards, the premiere awards ceremony honoring the best of online entertainment.

Being the daughter of the legendary Erica Kane is, on its own, enough to be considered a landmark character. Bianca Montgomery, however, is an iconic character in television history in her own right. In 2000, Bianca came out as lesbian, and the character embarked in a series of history-making milestones in daytime television. Bianca and Lena Kundera shared the first same-sex kiss in soap history. Less than a decade later, Bianca married her partner, Reese Williams, in daytime’s first same-sex wedding. But more than the “firsts,” Bianca’s life struggles resonated with viewers. From battling anorexia to surviving a sexual assault, the fictional character has served as a real-life inspiration to millions. For the first time ever, two of All My Children’s best-known Biancas, Christina Bennett Lind and Emmy winner Eden Riegel, will appear together.

As 2011 draws to a close, it's time to look back at the stories and news from the year gone by that we wish we could forget. Stories of poisoned berries, doppelgangers, and death by volcano gave many viewers a headache. The Two Scoops columnist from soapcentral.com offer their picks for the worst stories and moments of the year gone by as part of a preview of their Best and Worst year-end columns. And on-screen grumbles aren't all our columnists have to talk about. What a long, strange year it's been for the world of soaps. ABC announced the cancellation of two of its venerable soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live, and rumors of other cancellations swirled. Just when all hope looked gone, a company called Prospect Park swooped in and announced it would save the two canceled soaps. By the end of the year, though, that promise seemed too big to deliver. It's an hour of purging the bad and getting ready for a year of new beginnings in a laugh-filled hour-long special edition of Soap Central Live.
