'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live'- Breaking News

All My Children on September 23, and its final episode of
One Life to Live in January. Prospect Park is picking up

the soaps at a time when ABC is turning away from

them:
All My Children is being replaced by a food-focused

daily talk show called The Chew, and One Life to Live is being replaced by a health and lifestyle show, The

Revolution. And ABC parent company Disney transitioned its rerun-centered SOAPnet channel from cable to

online last year, replacing it with Disney Junior.

“One Life to Live” was born in 1968 and “All My Children” in ‘70.

When it announced plans to kill them both, back in April, ABC promised to “honor” the “core, passionate

audience and their rich history” by plowing them under “in a manner that respects their legacies and the

longstanding hopes of many of their viewers.”

Plus, Disney ABC/Television Group president Brian Frons put on his wistful face, and noted “While we are

excited about our new shows and the shift in our business, I can’t help but recognize how bittersweet the change

is.”

Poonam Pandey "going nude in private with consenting adults for atherapeutic purpose"

MUMBAI: Model Poonam Pandey, who has threatened to do a full Monty for the Indian cricket team if the men in blue win, switched off her cellphone on Saturday when India won the World Cup. Sources say the 20-year-old model was being inundated with calls from people either begging her to strip for them or threatening her with dire consequences should she dare go against Indian culture. A defiant Pandey, however, had told TOI on Thursday that if BCCI gives her the permission to strip, she would go ahead with her plans. "Threats don't bother me," she had said. But the model may be facing arrest after R K Pandey filed a case against her in a Bhopal court. The BJP women's wing has also written to the Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik to take action against her.
