However, bosses at Hollywood production company Prospect Park have abandoned plans for an online-only resurrection of the shows, despite signing deals with many leading cast members.

Prospect Park boss Jeff Kwatinetz says, "In the end, the c...

After last week’s announcement by ABC Daytime about the cancellation of long running and beloved soaps, 'All My Children' (AMC) and 'One Life to Live' (OLTL), I posted an article to the soap fans on my site, Red Carpet Closet entitled: 'Soap Fans, What the Heck Happened?' Well, they came out in droves and I heard them loud and clear. It is no secret that fans of the genre are notoriously supportive of the shows and the actors. So how did such a rapid decline in the ratings happen? One name kept coming up again and again as a reason for their demise: Brian Frons, president of Daytime f...

Actress-turned-TV personality Kelly Ripa is devastated about the cancellation of her former show All My Children, calling the shock axe "like losing a member of your family."

They have since had three children together. TV bosses at ABC announced on Thursday that the show, along with One Life to Live, would not be renewed - and Ripa admits she's sad about the cancellation, as the series holds so many fond memories for her.

With NBC having Law & Order, CBS living it up with the CSI franchise (not to mention Criminal Minds and NCIS) and FOX having surprise success with Bones, it's no shock that ABC has decided to give the crime drama genre another go after cancelling NYPD Blue in 2005. But this time, the network has decided to go with funny over gritty.

It may not be as edgy as Blue. But Castle, which debuted in March 2009 as a mid-season replacement, is one TV show that people should watch. Or at least put on their DVR list.

TV host Jay Leno is determined to put his recent controversial remarks about homosexuality behind him - by appearing at a gay pride event.

The talk show king sparked outrage among gay rights groups by asking actor Ryan Phillippe to give him his "gayest look" during an interview.
