Paula's Soapbox

I guess the rumors were true --  ABC Soaps in Depth   has announced that Julie Marie Berman, who has played Lulu on General Hospital since 2005 is now exiting the show. Apparently Berman just taped her final episode yesterday. The actress made the following statement on twitter about her departure:  There is no word yet on whether GH intends to recast the character. 

Earlier today actress Kassie DePaiva (Blair, OLTL) tweeted her excitement for the OLTL reboot, set to begin production later this month.  It's difficult not to get excited about the renewal of these soaps when the stars are this enthused. Despite the fact that many people don't like watching tv online, I really hope AMC and OLTL can defy the odds and build an audience, making history in the process. Now that we are down to only four soaps on network tv the success of these shows online is imperative to the future of the genre.  According to  ABC Soaps in Depth   AMC and OLTL will alternate their tapings in Connecticut until both shows have filmed for 17 weeks.

This should be interesting!   ABC Soaps in Depth   is reporting that actor Sean Kanan (AJ, GH) and his wife will be hosting their own Internet radio show beginning tomorrow night at 8 PST. The show is called "Kanan's Rules" and will air every Wednesday at  http://www.ubnradio.com/kanansrules   Do you plan to listen?
