YTN Press Release:
The One Changes It Up
YTN's first ever reality show, The One, is changing before premiering on Tuesday. Many people found it odd that filming hadn't even started yet, but YTN explained all of that today. First, the series will be LIVE. Second, the series will be one and a half hours (1:30). Finally, the series will become The One: Celebrities. YTN previously announced that they wanted to make The One LIVE, but nothing was ever officially announced. However, it was a bit of surprise that YTN added a half hour to the show, and made it a celebrity edition. The celebrities that will appear in the show will be released on Friday. YTN also announced that repeats of Being Average would air after The One: Celebrities.
The One Changes Again
Only one day before its premiere, The One is undergoing another change. It was previously announced that the series would be live. However, due to the nature of the show, that will not be happening. YTN is also shortening the time of the show so that the week has more original programming. YTN will air The One on Tuesdays and Thursdays for an hour and a half. Previously, the series was only going to be shown on Tuesdays. This now gives YTN a chance to run another season of The One if it is successful. The season finale of The One will air on Thursday, July 16th.

Here is the schedule for Tuesdays:
7pm - Gilmore Girls
8pm - The One (Episodes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9)
9:30pm - Being Average (R)
10pm - Criminal Minds
11pm - Family Guy
*Pushing Daisies and House will return on Tuesday, July 21st.

Here is the schedule for Thursdays:
7pm - Sabrina the Teenage Witch
8pm - The One (Episodes 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10)
9:30pm - Roommates (R)
10pm - House
11pm - Lost
*Roswell and Bones will return on Thursday, July 23rd.
**House moves to the 10pm timeslot for five weeks.

YTN's Monday Night Original Movie: Dinosaurs in New York City Premieres Next Week
Next Monday, June 22nd, YTN's second Original Movie will premiere. As this is the first YTN Original Movie to air on Mondays, here is the schedule:
7pm - Just Shoot Me
8pm - YTN's Monday Night Original Movie
10pm - The District
11pm - Family Guy
*Will and Grace and Third Watch will return on June 29th.

YTN Press Release:
YTN Loses The Rights To Several Series
Despite bringing good ratings to YTN, several shows will be leaving YTN at the beginning of next week. Here is a list of the shows YTN has lost:
* Without a Trace - Due to the pickup by GEN-TV, Warner Brothers was asking that YTN pay double what they were paying now. YTN negoiated for days to bring the price down, but Warner Brothers wouldnt budge. The final episode of Without a Trace will air on Sunday at 3am.
* The District - Columbia Broadcasting System was asking for another $750,000 per episode from YTN. The President of YTN said the series brought in average ratings, and would not be worth another $750,000 per episode. As YTN still has numerous episodes to play before the deadline of their contract, a marathon will run on Saturday Morning from 12am until 7am. The remaining episodes will be placed on YTN.com, and then will be taken down on Sunday at 11:59pm.
* Medium - CBS Television Studios said YTN would have to pay $1.5 million per episode for another year. As YTN only airs the series during the early morning hours, they decided to pass on the agreement. Medium will quietly go away on Sunday at 1am.

**Cold Case will move to 1am on Sundays, following Family Guy.
**A movie will replace Without a Trace and Medium, leading into another movie.
**Another episode of Third Watch will replace The District.

GEN-TV has acquired yet another syndicated property. "The District" the former CBS crime drama starring Craig T. Nelson which ran in the early half of this decade has been acquired by GEN-TV for a weekday morning and weekend cycle. The networks contract with the series is for two years (with an out clause should ratings stumble).

The series was formerly syndicated on YTN who recently dropped the series from it's line-up and prior to that aired spontaneously on USA Network (during late night hours) and Bravo.

GEN-TV paid a reported 3.4 million dollars for the rights to the series. Ever since loosing "The Practice" the network has aggressively persued a slew of legal series, including "Family Law", "The Division" and "Canterbury's Law". "The District" joins those shows on the July or August 2009 schedule.

GEN-TV is also said to be very heavily persuing the rights to both the syndication rights to "L.A. Law" and the repurposing rights to "Raising the Bar" which currently airs on TNT.

The best of NBC without ER, SVU or will and grace, but with Mr. Sterling? Grease: Your'e the one that i want and 1 Vs. 100?These are basically my favorite shows that have aired on NBC, not necessarily the most popular. I thought Mister Sterling was a great political drama and superior to the higher acclaimed West Wing. And I like very few reality shows but I loved Grease: You're the One that I Want. And while it's not in the top 10 of game shows, 1 vs. 100 is a show I enjoy watching.

GEN-TV has made a bizarre announcement today. They have announced that "Without A Trace" will only air for thirteen episodes this year, instead of the expected twenty-two episodes. When the network saved the series from cancellation it was announced that the series was picked up for a full season of twenty-two episodes, but instead the network has ordered only thirteen. Matthew Smith claims "this is a totally creative decision, the writers believe they can only come up with thirteen episodes for this season so we have agreed to honor that".

Also announced is that former star Marianne Jean Baptiste will appear in only a few scenes this season, as opposed to the original belife that she would have two or three episodes before she departs. Her Agent Johnson exits the series quietly in episode one. Rosalyn Sanchez however appears to be booked throughout the series first five episodes. As previously reported Anthony Lapalliga will not appear at all. As for exiting cast member Poppy Montgomery, she is expected to appear only in one scene in the series last episode of the season.

Wether or not the series continues beyond this upcoming season has yet to be decided, but rumor has it that it's fate will be decided based upon ratings and critical reception.

Without A Trace joins GEN-TV this September.

If you want, Poppy Montgomery and Marianne Jean Baptiste can star in a few episodes despite them being in TAKEN. I took the two before you even announced anything, so go ahead and use them if you wish. :)

Actually, thanks very much for the offer, but i think for the sake of the storyline i have planned, their apperances aren't really even needed, but i'll think about it and throw them in if i think they are needed. Thanks for the offer.

We are going to do things a little bit different this time. Before we reveal ratings for the week of May 31-June 5, 2009 we wanted to give you a rundown of the highest rated series on GEN-TV for the month of May 2009.

Starting with Daytime TV (M-F, 7am-730pm) here are the highest rated series:

Closing out the month of May the shows with the most viewers were "The Nanny", "Friends" and "Survivor" (which just edged out "Will & Grace" by a tenth of a point) to become the top three. "The Nanny" was the most consistantly watched program on the line-up whereas other shows came and went from the top ten, "The Nanny" stayed in the top ten all month. The lowest rated programs were "Mad Men" which couldn't even register 10 million viewers, and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" which garnered under 14 million viewers all month. The last consitantly watched program was "Two and A Half Men" which would go from top 10 ratings to no even top twenty ratings.

Primetime (Top 10 only):

1. The Practice (monthly average: 94.5 million)
2. Desperate Housewives (91.3 million)
3. Cybill (90.1 million)

The most watched series of the month was "The Practice" whose monthly average was 94.5 million viewers. "Bones" just made the top 10 with an average of 32.1 million viewers in May. Although GEN-TV will not release the entire list of primetime ratings we can confirm that our least watched programs in May were "Gossip Girl" (2.5 million), "Mad Men" (100,000) and "Six Feet Under" (887,000). All three of these series have been dropped from GEN-TV at the end of May and will not return in the fall.

GEN-TV has opted not to reveal any monthly ratings info for Weekend daytime series.

As for the weekly ratings for May 31-June 5, 2009 they are:

Daytime Top 10:
1. Friends (17.4 million)

7. Survivor (9.3 million)
8. The Girls Next Door (9.2 million)
9. The New Adventures Of Old Christine (9.1 million)
10. Spin City (8.3 million)

The new line-up that started June 1st provided several new shows the chance to jump into the daytime top 10. "Reba" debuting at #4 her first week on the daytime line-up garnered 13.3 million viewers, "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" joined the daytime line-up at #5 with 11.2 million (STTW was a daytime line-up regular on HGN), "Married With Children" on GEN-TV for the first time got 10.4 million viewers and a #6 spot. "Spin City" got 4.5 million and 10th place. But it was the usual suspects "The Nanny" and "Friends" that got the highest viewers. "Will & Grace" took a hit this week with 7.9 million viewers falling just out of the top 10 at #12.

Primetime Top 10:
1. The Apprentice (32.3 million)
2. Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List (32 million)

7. Full House (23.4 million)
8. Hot Tamales (19.9 million viewers)
9. Second Family (12.3 million viewers)
10. My Name Is Earl (12.1. million)

The new primetime summer line-up provided some clear new winners and losers. "The Apprentice" still dominated the competition with 32.3 million viewers, while newcomer "Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List" garnered an impressive 32 million viewers. Family sitcoms proved popular with "Full House" at #7 with 23.4 million, "Family Ties" at #12 with 11.59 million viewers and "Growing Pains" at #15 with 8.9 million viewers. "Party Of Five" proved popular with a #6 debut. And in a rarity both of GEN-TV's original comedy series were in the top 10 (and even rarer, Hot Tamales came out victorious for once with 19.9 million over Second Family's 12.3 million).

Some of the least viewed programs this week were "Gimme A Break" with under 3 million viewers, "Dynasty" with less than 1 million viewers and the most dissapointing series was "Nurses" with less than 8,000 viewers.

Gen-TV will no longer be providing information regaurding weekend ratings.

With the recent tragic death of GEN-TV's Head Of Creative Development and Programming Shirley Smith the network now has to fill a major void. Her death leaves open a huge position to be filled. Today the network has announced that in order to fill that void they have shuffled their positions and created a few new jobs. The new organization chart is below.

Markus Williams will remain on-board as GEN-TV's President Of Business Development

---------LEGAL DISCLAIMER Most of these names are fake names that were made up for fun, a few are real names, these people are not really working at a network called GEN-TV. there is no such network. This is fake and just for fun.-----------

GEN-TV has announced today that as of January 1, 2010 they will be dividing their team into two seperate staffs. One staff will be operating out of Los Angeles and the other will operate out of New York.

Although Matthew Smith will still serve as Head Of Creative Enterprises and will be the man all staff reports to his office will be based out of L.A. and the New York staff will only have contact with him through email and phone as well as occasional visits.

In New York, NeNe Roberston who most recently served as a President Of Reality Development at MTV and launched "The Hills", "The City" and "Brody Jenner: BROMANCE" will serve as President Of Creative Development, which will be the second in command (after Matthew Smith). All New York staff will report to her and she will be directly responsiable for overseeing all work done in New York.

It is also expected that GEN-TV will appoint an additonal staff memeber to work out of New York as the President Of Programming and Scheduling. It was expected that Matthew Smith would serve in that role also, but he said via a statement released to the press today that "my role is already big enough and i feel confidant that we can hire a top notch talent to do this for us".

GEN-TV's CEO Grant Winkler said the decision to move half the staff to New York was "A key ingrediant to our mission to make this network the most compeitive and successful network on television".

It is expected that some staff members, like Barbara Benson, Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins and Martha Hunter Wilson will travel between both offices very often.

Despite rumors to the contray, production on "Guiding Light" which GEN-TV recently acquired the rights to produce new episodes will not be relocating to Los Angeles, but will instead stay put in New York City. This is one of the main reasons for setting up a team in New York, this decision was made jointly with GL's new Executive Producer Felicia Meni Behr and Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins who got the okay from Matthew Smith.

Also, rumors are a soon to be announced GEN-TV talk show will also take place in New York City.

When "Without A Trace" debuts on GEN-TV this september fans can expect a lot of things to be different. Recently hired, Executive Producer Debroah Joy Levine said today in an exclusive interview that "The direction of the show will be broader and much darker than it has been in the past---it will expand beyond the typical police proceduarl boundaries that it has stuck with in the past". She is especially excited to see how fans react to the creation of one character to be played by Alyssa Milano who she believes is "the best character this show has ever seen, a real love her or hate her type that fans will not be able to get enough of". She also promises some "Major surprises, espeically in terms of who ends up where and who ends up living". She didn't even have to wait for us to ask if that meant that fans should expect some characters to die and her answer stunned us all "within the season you should not only expect but anticipate the death of not one, but several characters, all in stunning ways".

Deborah Joy Levine is a Television veteran best known for producing shows such as "The Division", "Any Day Now", "Lois & Clarke: The New Adventures Of Superman", "Mental" and "Dawson's Creek". She was asked to take over producing duties of "Without A Trace" when GEN-TV bought the rigths to the series from Jerry Bruckheimer, GEN-TV had always planned to shift the series focus in some form and Bruckheimer was more than gracious in allowing the network to do just that.

Levine warns "some die hard porcedural fans won't love the new direction we are taking, but i feel the show will open itself up to a much broader, more mainstream audience".

Just a day ago Executive Producer Felicia Menhi Behr vehemently denied rumors that she planned to kill off one of Guiding Lights major stars calling the rumors "Absoutley, totally false". Well wether or not that is true remains to be seen but as of just a few hours ago what appear to be top secret scenes from the show have been leaked onto the internet. They appear to be passages from either a future script for the show or portions of an outline, though nobody has confirmed wether these are real or not they certianly appear to be. The scene is brief but i'll tell you if they are truly scenes from an episode of the show it will majorly upset long-time fans of the show as they do indeed include the death of not one but SIX characters from the show in a fashion that even a soap opera could never undo... here are the leaked scenes... and be warned they are pretty shocking...

Interior; Reva Shayne's house, nighttime, bedroom.

Reva Shayne appears from her bathroom in a green bathrobe and slippers, her hair is wet as if she had just emerged from a shower and her eyes are puffy as if she has been crying. She sits down on her bed placing her head into her hands and shaking her head somberly, she begins to cry.

Reva (through her tears): I'm sorry god, i'm just sorry. i just don't know what to say, i never expected this to happen. never.

The telephone in Reva's home rings, she hesitantly rises from the bed and walks over the her dresser a few feet away to pick it up.

Reva (on the phone to a still unknown person): Yes it's done. i've finished it. (reva appears flustered and grows angry): Yes, Yes, YES i'll be here. NO do not come over... I said NO do not come here. Fine see you in a few moments. (Reva slams the phone down in a huff).

Reva turns to face the mirror on her dresser and an expression of determination overtakes her face

Reva (outloud to herself): He wants to play it that way? fine than i'll be ready for him. He'll never see it coming. (reva begins to chuckle to herself in a sinister way).

Reva turns and runs into the bathroom slamming the door behind her.

Scene cuts away.

Exterior, nighttime, Springfield hosptial, hallway.

Alan Spaulding stands in the hallway of the hospital facing a closed door, he is putting a cell-phone in his pocket. He is about to turn and enter the hospital room when his phone rings and he does not look pleased when he looks at his called I.D.

Alan (outloud to himself): Oh why is she calling?

Alan picks up the phone and answers the call.

Alan (to person on phone): Okay see you then. no, i'll see you when i get there. (Alan hangs the phone up and turns to the hospital door without opening it)

Alan (to the door): See you soon.

Alan leaves the hospital and gets into a limo and it pulls out of the hospital parking lot.

Scene cuts away.

Interior, Reva Shayne's house, nighttime. Reva's bathroom.

Reva is standing in-front of a mirror, she is know wearing a exceedingly low-cut red dress and red high heels. She is applying red lipstick to her lips. She looks in the mirror and speaks to her reflection.

Reva (to her reflection): This is it. i can't wait... (reva begins to cackle)...

A doorbell is heard ringing and Reva turns to leave the room. Reva goes downstairs to answer her door.

Reva answers the door and is clearly not expecting to see the person behind it. The door opens and viewers see that Jeffery O'Niell is standing behind it. Reva speaks to him in a angry tone.

Reva (to jeffery): I told you not to come back here ever again---i told you it's over between us, we have nothing left to talk about. Our relationship is dead.

Jeffery: No Reva, you are wrong--this is far from over.

Reva furious slaps Jeffery with all her might right across his face and screams at him "Get out of here you bas*ar*. Jeffery manages to grab Reva by her arm and throw her down against the wall. She falls hard.

Scene cuts away..

Interior, Alan Spaulding's limo.

Alan is sitting in his limo and clearly is anticipating arriving someplace. he is thinking outloud, clearly hatching a plan.

Alan (out loud): This is going to be my greatest victory---if it all goes as planned. Nobody will ever dobut my power again.

Suddenly the limo comes to a stop, Alan just cracks his window open and is furious he screams at the driver "Driver, THIS is NOT where i said to go", "DRIVER, why did you stop here?", "DRIVER ANSWER ME".

Slowly the privacy screen comes down and the drivers turns to face Alan, Alan is stunned to see Alexandra Spaulding his sister behind the wheel. She has an evil look on her face and she is raising a pistol towards his head.

Alexandra: Alan, my darling brother, i'm sorry but the time has come for you to meet your maker (Alexandra cackles ever so rejoicing in her latest evil plot to destroy her brother). (Alex orders Alan to get out of the car).

Alan: What is this about Alex?

Alexandra: No time for chatting now get out of the car you decaying vermon.

Alan reluctantly gets out of the car and is immedietly grabbed by two heavy bodyguards that Alex has hired to help her with her plan. Alex also gets out of the car and the camera pans to reveal that they are sitting just inches away from the edge of a giant cliff. Alex looks up at the sky and then at her brother who is now tied up and she declares "this is my moment of victory". Alex walks closer to her brother and points the gun at his head.

Alex: Alan, you get a choice---how do you want to die?

Alan: What do you mean? you aren't going to kill me?

Alex is about to speak when she is interuppted by a voice in the background. She turns to see her newphew Phillip standing behind her.

Phillip: No, uncle but i am. (Phillip pulls out a gun of his own).

Scene cuts away...

Interior, Reva Shayne's house. Reva's bedroom. still nighttime.

Reva still weak from hitting the wall is hand-cuffed to the bed, she is struggling to get uncuffed. She is upset. Jeffery is standing beside her with a sinister look on his face.

Reva screams at him.

Reva (screaming at Jeffery): Let me go, Jeffery let me go...

Jeffery isn't paying any attention to Reva's pleas and slaps her across her face.

Reva flinches in pain and says "you'll get it" to him.

Jeffery turns his back to Reva and says outloud "no you will, just wait".

Moments later the doorbell at Reva's house rings and Jeffery gets an excited look on his face. he turns to Reva delighted.

Jeffery (to Reva): Our visitor has arrived, i just can't wait for you to see who it is, you'l be tickeled pink... (Jeffery walks out of scene to answer the door).

Reva is frantic she knows this is her moment to escape. She sees the key to the handcuffs sitting on the nightstand next to her bed, she uses all her will to get that key in her hands and manages to unlock her cuffs, she jumps out of the bed and runs into the bathroom closing the door behind her.

Jeffery and his guest arrives in the bedroom and he is stunned to see Reva is not in her bed. He looks at the closed bathroom door and knows Reva is in there. He approaches the bathroom door and screams "Reva, get out here, NOW". Reva pulls the door open and appears in the bedroom weilding a knife.

Reva looks at Jeffery and is stunned to see who is with him. her son Jonathon.

Reva (stunned): JONATHON?

Jonathon: I'm sorry mom.

Reva: What the hell is going on here? TELL ME NOW.

Jeffery: you'll find out soon enough. (Jeffery pulls a gun out of his coat and points it at Jonathon). He screams at Jonathon "DO IT NOW".

Jonathon runs towards his mother and knocks her to the ground, kicking the knife out of distance. He ties her up and ties her to the bed. Reva is stunned.

Jonathon turns to Jeffery with a pathetic look on his face. "Why Jeffery? WHY?" he says.

Jeffery: shut up boy, you know why.

Jeffery approaches Reva and starts cackling..

Jeffery: Reva, you thought you would divorce me? you thought our relationship would just end? you thought you would get away from me unscathed? think again you stupid B**ch. Jeffery picks the gun up and points it at jonathon.

Jeffery: you hurt me by divorcing me and know i'm going to hurt you. (jeffery shots the gun at jonathon, Jonathon falls to the ground he has been shot).

Reva lets out a primal scream "JONATHON, NO".

Jeffery starts laughing sinsterly... and turns to Reva... "Think that was something, wait to you see what happens now"... Jeffery opens the door of Reva's closet and reveals Reva's other son Shayne tied up and crying.

Reva screams "NO, NOT SHAYNE". Jeffery shoots Shayne in the head. Reva screams louder than ever. Tears stream her face.

Reva: Jeffery, why? i know i hurt you, but why my children?

Jeffery: I had to find a way to hurt you as much as you hurt me.

(Jeffery points the gun squarley at Reva's head, making a point to push it into her so that it hurts).

Jeffery: You're gonna love this.

Scene fades.

Exterior, cliffside, early morning.

Alexandra is stunned to see Phillip standing next to her holding a gun at Alan.

Alexandra: Phillip what are you doing here?

Philip: extracting revenge.

Alexandra: Looks like i've taught you well?

Phillip: yes you have... too well.

Alexandra: what does that mean?

Phillip: it means that you taught me the importance of surprising your enemy right?

Alexandra: What?

Philip points the gun at Alexandra.

Phillip: Sorry i love my father, no matter how fractured our relationship. Sorry and goodbye. (Phillip shoots Alexandra, she falls to the ground and dies instantly). Phillip then shoots the two bodyguards and drops his gun. he runs over and unties his father, Alan.

Alan is grateful and hugs his son.

Alan: Thank you son. thank you. let's clean up this mess.

Alan and Phillip drag Alexandra's body to the edge of the cliff and throw her down it, watching as she falls directly into the ocean below. they throw the two bodyguards down as well.

Phillip: So what now?

Alan: now we create an alibi so that when the body's wash up ashore we aren't suspects.

Scene cuts away.

Interior Reva Shayne's house. Bedroom.

Reva is still tied to the bed, crying and screaming after just witnessing her two son's murders.

Jeffery has the gun pointed at her face.

Jeffery: Time has come for me to finish my act.

Jeffery picks the gun up aiming it at Reva intent on shooting her. Just as he is about to shoot Joshua Lewis comes running into the room and knocks Jeffery down. He unties Reva andshe leaps out of the bed. She hugs Joshua and says "thank you for saving me".

Reva looks down at Jeffery and decides now is the time to end her misery.

Reva picks up the gun and points it at Jeffery.

Reva (to jeffery): This is for shane. (she shoots him). This is for Jonathon (she shoots him).

Reva drops the gun, totally shocked at what she just did. She turns to Joshua.

Reva (crying): Joshua what did i just do? she falls into his arms.

Joshua: It's okay we'll take care of it. we'll tell the police it was an accident, that it was self-defense.

Joshua picks up the phone and dials 911.

End of Scene.

Remember these are not confirmed as being actual scenes from the show, just leaked scenes. They may be from a outline of a story that has been passed on or it could just be fan fiction that someone is claiming as the real thing.

------------LEGAL DISCLAIMER--- THESE SCENES ARE FAN FICTION, they are not associated with "Guiding Light" at all nor do they reflect any story from GL or any other television show. I am not associated with Guiding Light.---- These are just for fun.---

While nobody has yet to confirm that this leaked script is a real Guiding Light script, series star Kim Zimmer recently confirmed what was already majorly acceptted that her character Reva Shayne will be killed off when "GL" makes it's GEN-TV debut. She says "Reva will die to make room for the show to focus on a new crop of younger characters". She wrote on her fanblog recently "Reva's journey must come to an end, and i am okay with that, i just hope my fans are okay with it and continue to support this wonderful soap opera".

For the last four decades (or more) "Guiding Light" has focused on the lives of the residents of a small costal town called Springfield and was centered around the famalies Spaulding, Lewis, Bauer and Shayne, but as of November 2009 (when it comes to GEN-TV) that may no longer be the case. Executive Producer Felicia Menhi Behr who is in charge of the show once it comes to GEN-TV previews some pretty major changes in the series premise and in it's fictional location. "While some fans would prefer the series to stay put in Springfield and continue to focus on a certian set of major characters; we have opted that we will instead shift the focus onto a new set of characters, including several current characters; but in a whole new setting that will provide a different set of distractions and action". While she wouldn't confirm what exactly that new setting would be, if rumors are to be believed it could look like the series fictional location will shift to a brand new, but very non-fictional town called New York City. One recent internet rumor has suggested that several of Springfields residents will move to New York City and open up an Art Gallery and work at a New York City hospital. These rumors suggest the move is to provide viewers with a more realistic setting to watch and the characters more places to go. But Menhi Behr refuses to acknowledge any setting just yet and prefers to say only "many fans will be shocked, but it will come as a pleasent surprise to many". When asked if that could mean the show would possibly return to San Cristoble she only said "nothing is out of the question at this time".

When asked about the recent press that Kim Zimmer made when she wrote on her fanblog that Reva was too die, she did say "well, some people may be jumping the gun just a bit, and others not so much".

Stay tuned to GEN-TV for more updates.

GEN-TV Spokesperson Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins confirmed today what many already speculated, that supposedly real leaked scenes of a "Guiding Light" shoot out are indeed fakes. the scenes in question were simply part of an old outline that producers had worked up for a storyline that never panned out; somehow somebody believed they were real and posted them as fact instead of fiction. Dwyer Dobbins said "the scenes in question were at least four years old and are part of a story that never made it onto screen, they were old scenes from a story we never told and have no reflection on the shows actual history; which is why many of the lines in those scenes make no sense to viewers of the show".

Without A Trace Executive Producer Deborah Joy Levine announced today in a press conference that fans of the show should "Offically and Completley" expect fan favorites Marianne Jean Baptiste, Poppy Montgomery and Anthony La Pagilia to make final apperances on the veteran crime drama as it enters it's eight season and it's first on GEN-TV. "Originally the plan was for Baptiste to exit in the first episode and have the other two characters already gone when the episode starts, but recent creative developments allowed us to write all three characters off on-screen". Though she wouldn't give many details she also mentioned "YTN was more than gracious in allowing us to use Marianne Jean Baptiste and Poppy Montgomery despite their committment to the hot new fall series "TAKEN".

She promises "very surprising ends for all three characters". Meanwhile, Roselyn Sanchez who also leaves the series this season will make "several apperances on the series before her character makes a rather abrupt but surprising exit from the series".

As recently as last week rumors were that none of these actors would appear on the show at all.

Some fans are wondering if the upcoming GEN-TV debut of "Without A Trace" means that the series will find a long-term home on the network of if the series will air one last season and be gone. Well today that question was posed to Matthew Smith who had a very interesting answer. "The direction this season's story goes certianly leaves the door open for the series to continue in some form, but i believe most people involved with the show know that it definetly will never be able to continue on as the same show it once was".

This quote has many internet fans blogging like crazy trying to figure out what exactly that means; some are pondering if this means the network is developing a spin-off for the series of if they intend to carry the show through another year with a new cast or a change in locale. So far nobody at GEN-TV or "Without A Trace" are talking but whatever transpires it should to say the least be interesting.

YTN has pulled comedy What I Like About You from its schedule for the summer. The President of YTN says, "We wanted to make sure What I Like About You doesn't get old fast. If we run it all summer, it will most likely come back weaker next fall." No decision was made on what would air at 6/5c from Monday to Friday.
YTN Press Release:
Replacement For What I Like About You
YTN has named its replacement for What I Like About You as it takes the summer off. Fan favorite, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, will fill in the 6/5c timeslot and will air Monday-Friday. 45 episodes of the series were produced for FOX between 1997 and 2002. YTN will air all 45 episodes this summer, five (5) per week for ten (10) weeks; one week will be all repeats. If the ratings slip near the end, YTN will bring back What I Like About You early. The President of YTN says, "For us to pull Beyond Belief, the ratings would have to be under 1 million viewers. I hope the series is able to bring in good ratings as I know it still has a fan base."

Roselyn Sanchez, the former star of "Without A Trace" has signed an exclusive "open ended" deal with GEN-TV to co-star in the new fall series "The Story Of Jacob". The last-minuet pick up from GEN-TV currently slated to debut in Fall 2009 stars Jonathon Jackson, Frances Conroy, Josh Hartnett, Leslie Bibb and Chad Lowe. Sanchez will take on the role of a school psychologist that helps Jacob come to terms with some of the issues in his life and serves as a mentor for other characters on the show. Her deal is considered "open ended" as the character is currently recurring but could lead to a regular gig if the storyline direction dicates the need for her character. The deal is worth 11,000 dollars and is seperate from her already existing development deal with GEN-TV.

Sanchez spent seven seasons on "Without A Trace" as an FBI agent and will next finish up her role on that show in four episodes. She also has booked a recurring gig on "Texas Justice" another GEN-TV series.

Executive Producer Felicia Menhi Behr today confirmed what many had expected already, the cast of "Guiding Light" is going to undergo several changes when it moves to GEN-TV in November. Despite reports that the cast had been solidified it appears as though a change in storyline direction has caused the network and producers to reevaluate it's casting choices.

Confirmed as of today are the exits of the following cast members from the series:
Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne Lewis)
Ron Raines (Alan Spaulding)
Robert Newman (Joshua Lewis)
Crystal Chappell (Olivia Spaulding)
Jessica Leccia (Natalia Rivera)
Bradely Cole (Jeffery O'Niell)
Michael Tylo (Quninten Nolan)
Lisa Brown (Nola Reardon Chamberlin)

The following cast members had been confirmed as being part of the cast that would move to GEN-TV, but a recent change in the direction of the storyline has rendered their characters useless and they will not be part of the cast any longer.

Linda Dano, previously cast as Vanessa Chamberlind will no longer be with the series, her character has been scrapped from the show.

GEN-TV is quickly becoming the destination for daytime television as it has already announced plans to produce original episodes of cancelled soap opera "Guiding Light", reruns of three classic soaps ("The City", "Sunset Beach" and "Santa Barbara") as well as to produce an original soap opera at some point in the future (unconfirmed) and now they announce that they have formally greenlit three talk show pilots to contend for a fall 2009 launch date. In previous stories the network announced a familar face to talk might be joining their line-up, and they can offically announce that name is Joan Rivers. The legendary comedienne and talk show host has had a career spanning since the early 1960's and in daytime Television won a Daytime Emmy in 1990 for Best Talk Show for "The Joan Rivers Show" which aired from 1989 until 1993. Rivers has offically signed on to host a weekday talk show to be produced from KING WORLD PRODUCTIONS and to be stripped exclusively on GEN-TV. The series is called "Joan Rivers" and is a hybrid Talk Show and Sketch Comedy with some stand-up comedy and sketches mixed in-between interviews with celebrity guests and pre-taped segments. The deal with River is worth a reported six million dollars, a industry high for daytime talk shows. So far GEN-TV is committed to only a pilot episode.

The other talk show pilot being ordered is from Red Carpet Host and actress Lisa Rinna, author of the best-selling book "RINNAVATION". the talk show called "The Lisa Rinna Show" would be a one-hour talk show in which the actress and Daytime emmy nominee for her work on Soapnets "SOAPTALK" would help guests improve their lives using stratigies she discussed in her book. She would also interview famous guests. The talk show deal iw worth 300,000 dollars and is currently considered a front-runner for a pick-up. Rinna had been looking to launch her own talk show for sometime now as she had previously signed a deal with Warner Brothers Television to produce a daily talkfest in 2007 but that deal fell through and in 2008 she signed a deal with the CW network but that deal also fell through when they instead opted to sign Tyra Banks. Rinna best known for work on "Melrose Place", "Days of Our Lives", "TV Guide Channel" and hosting '"SOAPTALK" is a favorite of tv viewers. GEN-TV is currently committed to only a pilot episode.

Lastly, the network is excited to announce the order of a talk show pilot for former soap star Diedra Hall (Marlena, Days Of Our Lives). Hall, who was fired from "Days Of Our Lives" earlier this year has signed a deal to produce a one-hour pilot for a daily talk and lifestyle show where she would give advice on aging, fashion and health from the older women's prespective as well as interview celebrity guests. A pilot is ordered but no other committment is thus far pending.

GEN-TV will announce which of the three pilots will be picked up closer to the fall.

They have also announced that they have parted ways with pilots from Ricki Lake, Leeza Gibbons and Rosie O'Donnelle, all three pilots have been passed on by GEN-TV.

Recently, Susan Lucci, Erika Slezak and Robin Strasser were seen at the GEN-TV studios many believed this as a sign that GEN-TV was trying to poach the talented actresses from their spots at ABC daytime. But that is not at all true. It turns out, GEN-TV asked them to consult on a special project they are working on for the fall, a special revamped version of the Soap Opera Digest Awards. The once popular soap opera awards show was last broadcast in 2004 on SOAPNET and has not been given out since. GEN-TV is revitalizing the struggling show and bringing it back for a fall 2009 launch date. The three talented actresses were asked along with several other daytime tv icons to consult on a speical montage that would air on the broadcast.

The newly improved Digest Awards would change the voting process so that all soaps have a fair shot at winning, and being nominated (to allow a diverse group of shows winning).

The GEN-TV broadcast of the Soap Opera Digest Awards will be in October 2009. Nominees will be announced shortly.

YTN Press Release:
YTN Producing It's First Game Show
YTN is now in the game show business. Earlier today the President of YTN announced that Outburst!, the game devised by Hersch and Company and now owned by Hasbro, will join the primetime lineup this fall. Outburst! was a television series titled Talk About, and produced in Canada for CBC. The show then ran in syndication from 1989 until 1990 and later on USA Network in 1993. YTN paid Hasbro 5 million dollars to use the name of the show, and another 6 million dollars for the game play. The show will be titled Outburst! and will join YTN this fall.

GEN-TV the network devoted to airing contemporary series has announced that in response to viewer feedback they will be adding more classic programming in the weekend and weekday morning line-ups starting this summer. The current summer schedule is filled with all kinds of classic shows like "Suddenly Susan" and "Married With Children" but come this fall expect even more of that as shows like "Rhoda" and "The Facts Of life" join the line-up.

Matthew Smith explains "the feedback has been clear viwers of the old HGN line-up were appalled with the lack of classic shows on our daytime line-up and we want to make them all happy".

Just days after announcing the pick up of three talk show pilots, GEN-TV is proud to confirm that they have offically greenlight two of the three to debut this fall as a daily series. First up "Diedre Hall" starring former Days Of Our Lives star Diedre Hall will debut as a one-hour talk and lifestyle series focused on aging, health and beauty. The star will dsicuss life as an aging women and interview guests from all walks of lifes, including celebrities. The series marks Hall's first venture into hosting a daily series as she has spent her career as an actress on daytime soap operas (Days Of Our Lives) and in primetime on shows such as "Our House" and "Electra Women and Dyna Girl". Diedra Hall is one of the most regconizable names in daytime television and has legions of fans waiting to follow her to her next gig. This is her first attempt at hosting a talk show.

The second confirmed series to be picked-up stars Lisa Rinna and is being titled "Rinnavation TV with Lisa Rinna" (formerly The Lisa Rinna Show). Based on concepts from her best-selling book of the same name Rinna shares secrets and tips to age gracefully, stay in good health and make the most of her life. With guest interviews and trying out tips and trends Lisa Rinna will help average people change their mind, body and spirit from the inside out. The series is greenlight for a daily run starting in the fall.

GEN-TV has yet to make a decision about the third talk show "Joan Rivers" starring comedien Joan Rivers, that series is still being considered at this time.

GEN-TV has announced that they have offically greenlit an original talk show by Joan Rivers. The series called "Joan Rivers" will debut in September on GEN-TV's daytime line-up. It will consist of stand-up from joan as well as interviews with celebrity guests and other non-famous people. The original concept of using some sketch comedy segments has been scrapped due to budget constraints and other issues.

The network has also announced start dates for all their original talk shows.

Diedra Hall will debut on August 12, 2009 a month before the offical TV season starts so that she can get a jump start and build viewership early.

Meanwhile both Rinnavation TV with Lisa Rinna and Joan Rivers will debut on September 16, 2009 as part of the offical fall season launch.

It is expected that Deidra Hall will require more time to build an audience because she is not a known entity in the talk show world and despite years on daytime TV she is still relatively unknown to the general, non-soap viewing audience. Whereas both Rinna and Rivers have had talk shows in the past and have appeared on primetime television and in feature films.

Joan Rivers has the highest expectation right now as it is the most expensive talk show to debut in some years with it's pilot costing around 750,000 dollars and Joan being the biggest star to have a talk show in sometime now (since Ellen debuted in 2003). The expectation is that she should attract around a 2.3 in the ratings. Rinna and Hall are expected to achieve a 1.2 or better.

Despite recently being attached to a mid-season pilot for YTN network GEN-TV executives are stating that she will indeed stay put on "Hot Tamales" when it returns in mid-season. The series is currently airing it's first season and is set to finish it's run in September. The show was picked up for a second season of ten episodes to air starting in mid-season.

She currently has an exclusive contract with GEN-TV which forbids her from working on another series while employed by GEN-TV. The network says that they plan to take action immeidetly to ensure that her contract is honored. This means they may be considering suing YTN if they do not drop her from the series, they are also planning to sue Ms. McCarthy for breach of contract if she presues this other series.

GEN-TV has offically filed a 2 million dollar breach of contract suite against Jenny McCarthy and YTN for a mid-season series that she was cast in for the network. GEN-TV has an exclusive contract with the actress for the series "Hot Tamales" which is currently airing it's first season and will return for it's second next summer. GEN-TV has her on contract exclusively until her contract ends in July 2011. When the actress confirmed to the network her involvement in this other series she was asked to decease and desist work on the series and refused. YTN (Your Television Network) is being named as a conspirator in the suite as GEN-TV alleges that the network should have sought out GEN-TV's permission before casting their contractually obligated star to a show.

GEN-TV is seeking the following in damages:

1. That Ms. McCarthy end immedietly all work on any show or project that is not under her GEN-TV contract.

2. Exactly 1 million dollars in damages from Ms. McCarthy, the exact penalty fee named in her contract that is to be paid under the circumstance that Ms. McCarthy in any way breaches her contract.

3. 1 million dollars in damages from YTN network for willfully and knowingly violating an actresses contract and stealing one of our stars.

4. That YTN is to drop Jenny McCarthy from the series or pay an additional 1 million dollars in damages.

GEN-TV's legal spokesperson, Alexis Ashby said of the suit "It is unfortunate that Ms. McCarthy and YTN knowingly violated the terms of her existing contract with GEN-TV but it is clear that they will have to pay for their actions".

A rep for Ms. McCarthy did not return phone calls at the time this article went to press.

The documents were filed in California State Superior Court this afternoon with Judge Lorna Hopkins persiding.

YTN has yet to return our phone calls.

YTN Press Release:
YTN Responds To GEN-TV Suite
The President of YTN has issued the following statement on the suite against YTN from GEN-TV:
To our best knowledge, Jenny McCarthy is not in a contract with GEN-TV until July 2011. Ms. McCarthy's manager told us in our meeting on Monday that Ms. McCarthy's contract ended in October of 2009. Since filming for the newest YTN pilot doesnt begin until November of 2009, there is no breach of contract. Thus, YTN is countersuing GEN-TV for 1 million dollars due to the false suite against YTN. The lawyers of YTN are also suing the manager of Ms. McCarthy for 1.5 million dollars for possible damages done to YTN in the GEN-TV suite. YTN is currently trying to reach GEN-TV for a possible out-of-court deal.

GEN-TV has confirmed that they are also filing suite against Tom Snyder, the manager and agent of Jenny McCarthy for "providing false information and instigating a breach of contract against GEN-TV". GEN-TV has also responded to YTN's counter suite and has filed with the court an injunction asking that the network halt all work on the project and any other work with involving Jenny McCarthy.

GEN-TV has confirm that they intend to "hold Ms. McCarthy to her contract in full and will do everything in their power to make sure all parties are held responsible".

No comment was returned by McCarthy's rep but the actress herself has issued a statement saying "i did not knowingly breach any contract and believe that i was in the right to accept work on another show while "Tamales" is on hiatus".

It is a good news/bad news situation at GEN-TV today, while Judge Lorna Hobbs has offically ruled in their favor in regards to Jenny McCarthy breaching her contract by singing a contract with another network (YTN) and has been ordered to pay the 1 million dollar penalty fee as well as has been barred from working on any show for YTN or any other network w/out GEN-TV's permission. The bad news is that the court has rejected the networks injunction against YTN that was seeking to halt production on the series in question.

So McCarthy is to pay 1 million dollars to GEN-TV and is barred from working on the YTN show, but YTN is allowed to continue production.

In other news GEN-TV has offically offered YTN the following settlement deal, which lawyers for GEN-TV claim is "fair, generous and more than we need to do".

In the twelve page document given to judges today, GEN-TV offers the following settlement:

1. Jenny McCarthy will not be allowed to work on YTN's mid-season comedy series and is barred from any work that is not approved beforehand by GEN-TV.

2. YTN may continue production on their show given that they do not cast any person on the GEN-TV payroll.

3. YTN is to pay GEN-TV the sum of 1.5 million dollars for legal fees and other expenses that have occurred because of the Jenny McCarthy situation.

4. GEN-TV will pay YTN the sum of 23,000 dollars for expenses that they have occured in the lawsuite.

The judge has approved this settlement calling it "fair, honest and of fair market value" and right now lawyers are waiting for YTN to reject or approve the settlement.

YTN will wait for GEN-TV's response before releasing any other information about the suite.

After much thought and negoiation GEN-TV has issued the following response to YTN in regards to it's settlement offer.

1. GEN-TV agrees that the mistake was made not by YTN but by Jenny McCarthy's lawyer, Tom Snyder and thus we agree that YTN is not responsable for this mistake. However, the contents of her current contract to say that she has an exclusive contract so if she is to be utlized by another network it is supposed come at a cost to the other network. Given the circumstances of this situation and those involved, we recogonize that attaching a fee would cause more harm than good, so we have decided at GEN-TV that we will not make YTN pay a fee for using Jenny McCarthy for this project. GEN-TV offically waves all fees associated with Jenny McCarthy for use in this specific project. A fee of 10,000 dollars will however be attached to any additional project that YTN wants to use Jenny McCarthy for; this EXCLUDES promotion of the mid-season comedy project.

2. GEN-TV agrees to terms stipulated by YTN in regards to payin legal fees. we agree to pay YTN 100,000 dollars in legal fees and we agree to accept 250,000 dollars from YTN for legal fees.

3. GEN-TV will also be continuing in a suite against Tom Snyder, the manager for Jenny McCarthy.

4. We at GEN-TV give YTN offical permission to cast Jenny McCarthy in this mid-season comedy series and again we waive any fee associated with her casting in this specific project. a fee of 10,000 dollars will be attached however if they use her in another series.

5. Jenny McCarthy will remain a regular cast member of "Hot Tamales" for the remained of her GEN-TV contract which expires in July 2011. or until a revised contract is reached.

Gen-TV hopes this settles all legal issues with YTN a network they have enjoyed working with in the past and has had tremendous affection for.

It's been awhile since GEN-TV released their ratings reports so here is the offical ratings for the weeks of June 18, 2009- July 9, 2009.

Primetime Top 10 (averaged for all airings):

1. Hot Tamales (34.4 million viewers)---SERIES HIGH!
2. Second Family (31.3 million viewers)----SERIES HIGH!
3. Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List (23.4 million)
4. The Ghost Whisperer (21.2 million)
5. Suddenly Susan (21.1 million)
6. Cybill (20.2 million)
7. Still Standing (18.4 million)
8. Family Ties (18.1 million)
9. The Apprentice (16.5 million)---ALL TIME SERIES LOW
10. The Bacholerette (13.1 million)---First time in top 10!

The top 10 looked drastically different than it normally does with our two original comedy series as the top ranked this period. 'Hot Tamales' overtook "Second Family' as the #1 rated show thanks to a pair of highly rated special episodes that ranked as some of the highest broadcasts this network has ever seen. "Kathy Griffin" continued to dominate among second run fare. "The Apprentice" started to falter with a 9th place finish, it's lowest broadcast ever.

Daytime top 10: (averaged for all airings):
1. Friends (25 million)
2. The Nanny (23.3 million)
3. Married With Children (22.2 million)
4. Survivor (21.1 million)
5. The Girls Next door (20.4 million)
6. Spin City (20 million)
7. Sabrina, The Teenage Witch (19.4 million)
8. The New Adventures Of Old Christine (19.2 million)
9. The Closer (18.2 million)
10. Curb Your Enthusiasm (11.9)

Friends and The Nanny were once again the top shows among daytime viewers, with MWC making a surpisingly strong showing. Curb continued to flunk.

GEN-TV no longer provides information for weekend programming.

Jenny McCarthy today signed a brand new, IRON CLAD contract with GEN-TV assuring she will remain on the network until November 2012. The new contract came as a result of the conclusion of a series of law suites that happened when her now ex-manager signed her onto a television series on a network that wasn't GEN-TV. After the suites were setteled it became clear that the language in her contract needed to be stronger and after much negotiation the actress and network settled on a new contract. The details follow:

1. Jenny McCarthy is hereby contracted to GEN-TV and only to GEN-TV from July 10, 2009 until November 10, 2012. This is an exclusive contract and Ms. McCarthy may not seek work on any competing television network without prior written permission from the president of GEN-TV.

2. Jenny McCarthy will remain a cast member of "Hot Tamales" until the conclusion of her contract in 11-2012 or until the series is cancelled by GEN-TV.

3. Ms. McCarthy will be paid a sum of 250,000 dollars per episode of "Hot Tamales" and will recieve 10% of the back-end profits from the series upon it entering syndication. Ms. McCarthy will also recieve 3% of the profits from any DVD release of "Hot Tamales".

4. GEN-TV has the first right of refusal for any and all projects that Ms. McCarthy is to create or write during her tenure at GEN-TV.

This deal was reached thanks in part to her new manager, the newly hired Allyson Schmidt of Creative Artists Agency, her new manager. She recently fired Tom Snyder of United Artists Intelligence.

GEN-TV has confirmed today the timeslots and start dates for all of their daytime programming, with the exception of new episodes of "Guiding Light" which won't be confirmed until closer to it's November airdate.

As of today the following timeslots and dates are confirmed:

Reruns of "Sunset Beach" and "The City" start 9/8/2009. "Guiding Light" classics and "Santa Barbara" on September 9, 2009.

The start dates for "Joan Rivers" and "Rinnavation TV with Lisa Rinna" are also 9/9/2009.

Deidra Hall as previously speculated is confirmed to start earlier than expected and start airing at 9am weekdays starting August 12, 2009.

The following timeslots are confirmed
Deidra Hall to air weekdays at 9am
Sunset Beach will air weekdays at 10am
The City will air weekdays at 11am
Rinnavation TV with Lisa Rinna to air weekdays at 1130am
Joan Rivers to air weekdays at 3pm
Santa Barbara to air weekdays at 4pm

The GEN-TV debut of "Guiding Light" is expected to cause a shift on the schedule when it debuts in November, because in most markets it has aired at either 9am or 3pm in the country, when executives picked up the show the original plan was to keep the timeslot in place but the presence of other shows in those slots would suggest that may not be the case anymore. As one insider puts it "it wouldn't make any sense to debut a new talk show or reruns in a slot only to move it to another two or three months later, espeically a show as unproven as Deidra Hall or Lisa Rinna".

The likely case is that "Guiding Light" will take the place of one of the second run series currently airing. "Married With Children" seems like a likely canidate. It is well known some series on the schedule are simply filler until "Guiding Light" starts airing.

RUMOR FROM RUMORSABOUTTVSHOWS.TV PRESS RELEASE:
Does YTN Want Out of Deal With TCN?
Rumors are swirling that YTN wants to end its contract with TCN to produce a second season of Being Average. Being Average premiered back in April 2009 to decent ratings. Since then, ratings have fallen to the 2 million viewer range, with the most recent airing almost going below 2 million viewers. Since the network just launched back in December of 2008, ratings of 2 million would sound great, but their not. Being Average is currently the lowest rated comedy on YTN's Wednesday Night Comedy Block behind College, Roommates (Repeat), and even a repeat of Family Guy. Being Average ranks out of the top 10 primetime shows on YTN almost every week. The top 10 list includes repeats of shows such as Pushing Daisies, House, NCIS, and Criminal Minds. YTN was right in canceling the series in May 2009. However, YTN struck a deal with TCN to create new episodes that could not be passed on. Now, it seems YTN wants the deal to end as ratings slip even further. RumorsAboutTVShows has learned that the President of YTN is mad about the slipping ratings, and doesnt want their newest comedy, Singles (Premieres This Fall), to go down with it. With the first season finale airing Wednesday, could it be the last episode? RumorsAboutTVShows will keep you updated.
RUMOR FROM RUMORSABOUTTVSHOWS.TV PRESS RELEASE:
YTN WANTS OUT OF CONTRACT WITH TCN!
Rumors About TV Shows can confirm that YTN and TCN recently met to talk about their contract over Being Average. Rumors About TV Show can also confirm that YTN asked TCN to terminate the contract so that YTN would not have to air Being Average. Some positives of this deal would be that TCN has all the rights to Being Average, thus YTN can not air a single episode. TCN would also be able to gain all the benefits of possible syndication in the future, including 100% from season one. A negative for TCN is that they would have to pay all of the costs, and the larger YTN would not advertising the show. TCN seems to want the series bad as Being Average has had 917,000 viewers for its highest rated episode. That ranks behind only THE COMEDY NETWORK PRESENTS Night. There still have been no comments or press releases from YTN or TCN about the rumors. Rumors About TV Shows will keep you updated as we learn more.

In yet another cast shake-up for "Texas Justice", the upcoming GEN-TV drama, Josie Bissett has been asked to step in for Alley Walker; but only for a few days. Walker who was recently diagnosed with a minor medical condition, (a cyst in her throat) will have to miss several tape days and instead of writing her character out for the days they have opted to recast the role because the storyline would be impossible to continue without Walker's character Dana. Texas Justice premieres September 1st on GEN-TV. Walker will appear in the first three episodes of the series and will be absent episodes four, five and six. Josie Bissett will assume the role for those few days. As the series is being billed as a "nighttime soap opera" the producers are going to use a daytime soap opera staple and use a voiceover saying "the role of Dana will be played by Josie Bissett".

Josie Bissett is a television veteran, making her first series regular apperance in 1986 on "The Hogan Family" and then joining the cast of the cultural icon "Melrose Place" in the fall of 1992. Recently she has appeared on ABC Family's "The Secret Life Of The American Teenager", "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and Lifetime TV's "The Other Women". on GEN-TV she was one of the stars of the GEN-TV original movie "Clinging To Hope" for which she garnered critical acclaim, and has been mentioned as a possible Emmy Nominee for Best TV Movie Actress.

Rumors are that if Bissett hits with critics in this brief role that she will be asked to join the cast of another GEN-TV drama. Many rumors point to her joining the cast of either "One Of These Days" or "The Huntress".

LEGAL DISCLAIMER----this is fiction and is not a real press release. There is no show called Texas Justice nor does Ally Walker, to my knowledge have any medical condition. i do not represent any of these actresses nor am i affiliated with any of them.----

RUMOR FROM RUMORSABOUTTVSHOWS.TV PRESS RELEASE:
YTN WANTS OUT OF CONTRACT WITH TCN!
Rumors About TV Shows can confirm that YTN and TCN recently met to talk about their contract over Being Average. Rumors About TV Show can also confirm that YTN asked TCN to terminate the contract so that YTN would not have to air Being Average. Some positives of this deal would be that TCN has all the rights to Being Average, thus YTN can not air a single episode. TCN would also be able to gain all the benefits of possible syndication in the future, including 100% from season one. A negative for TCN is that they would have to pay all of the costs, and the larger YTN would not advertising the show. TCN seems to want the series bad as Being Average has had 917,000 viewers for its highest rated episode. That ranks behind only THE COMEDY NETWORK PRESENTS Night. There still have been no comments or press releases from YTN or TCN about the rumors. Rumors About TV Shows will keep you updated as we learn more.
YTN Press Release:
YTN Responds To Rumors
From the President of YTN:
"Lately there have been rumors that YTN wants to terminate the contract over Being Average with TCN, we can confirm that this is partily true. YTN is willing to pay TCN to end the contract after season two if Being Average doesnt do well. Thus far Being Average's numbers havent been that large, and to keep producing a series with low numbers is a disadvantage for us. So, we at YTN will wait until the season premiere in September to see if the numbers increase. If not, YTN will pay TCN to terminate the contract."

Music's #1 Diva, Whitney Houston hot on the comeback trail is about to add another acting credit to her list. The superstar will appear in the two-part season finale of "Hot Tamales" airing on August 26th and September 2nd to be exact. The September 2nd episode will lead into the season premire of "People I Know" the new sitcom starring Fred Savage which is in need of a boost as it has yet to hit with critics and isn't expected to be a major player as of yet.

Houston will be playing herself on the series and will play mentor to Mariah Carey's Trina, who is exiting the series as the character becomes a major superstar after her first single hits #1. The two music diva's have in real life been associated with rumors of a bitter rivarly but have actually said they are very good friends in real life. They did a duet together in 1998 called "When You Believe" from the soundtrack to the Oscar-Nominated film "The Prince Of Egpyt". The song won an Academy Award for "Best Original Song".

Reviewers that weren't part of the special critical panel held by GEN-TV a few months ago are just now getting their hands on the pilot episodes of the series that GEN-TV is launching in September. Here are some early reviews:

"Texas Justice":

New York News: This show may not be for everybody but if you are a fan of good old fashion soap opera than this show may be for you. It has everything a soap needs; stunning visuals, characters steep in history and melodrama all around. Gail O'Grady gives her career best performance and Ally Walker shatters her science fiction image and emerges a strong contender for some major awards competitions this year. Nicolette Sheridan leaves "Desperate Housewives" behind and creates a character all her own and owns it.

Miami Floridian: A+ show.

Cable Digest: What an excellent soap opera. This is melodrama at it's finest.

Soap Opera Weekly: Desperate Housewives who? this show is ten times better.

"The Huntress":

Bounty Hunter Daily: This is a show that gets it right; doesn't patronize or try to whitewash what our job is. Shannen Doherty does it right.

"People I Know"

TV News: This is the little show to watch; it will be underestimated but i believe it has the potential to really hit big.

GEN-TV has added a red carpet show to it's October 5th coverage of the Soap Opera digest awards. The ceremony held in L.A. in October will be precedded at 6pm by a red carpet show hosted by soap stars Linda Dano, Finola Hughes, Sean Kannan and Aiden Turner. Hughes and Dano will serve as the main red carpet hosts and fashion critics and Kannan and Turner will serve as eye candy and take part in hilarious sketches with the stars of soaps.

Linda Dano is a daytime emmy winning actress best known for her roles on "Another World" where she played Felicia Gallant for three decades and took home an Emmy Award. She also played the critically acclaimed role of Greatel "Rea" Cummings on "One Life To Live", "All My Children", "General Hospital" and "Port Charles". She's also appeared on "Guiding Light" and will return to that show in a new role when it jumps to GEN-TV.

Finola Hughes is the only lead actress from General Hos

pital to ever win an Emmy Award. She has also appeared on "All My Children", "The Bold & The Beautiful" and hosted Style Networks "How Do I Look" for five seasons. She will be joining the cast of "Guiding Light" when it comes to GEN-TV in the fall.

Sean Kannan is a versitile and well liked actor who has appeared on "The Young & The Restless", "The Bold & The Beautiful", "General Hospital", "Sunset Beach" and in the film "Carpool Guy".

Aiden Turner is the star of "All My Children" and recently in the film "Manhattanites".

The red carpet show will air from 6-8pm and the Digest Awards being at 8pm.

On Tuesday, October 6th, Linda Dano, Finola Hughes, Aiden Turner and Sean Kannan will be joined by several guest on the "Soap Opera Digest Awards: Fashion Wrap-Up" where they will discuss the fashion of the night and their thoughts on the winners. That airs at 8pm.

Despite an already ambitious slate of programming launching this fall; including a full slate of primetime series, three talk shows and original episodes of "Guiding Light" it looks like GEN-TV isn't happy just yet---sources close to the network say they are thisclose to signing a deal that will have them produce episodes of an original soap opera of their own. If the deal goes through sources say that it should launch sometime in the second half of 2010 and will apparently "shake daytime soaps on their heads". Sources claim the deal is "a very signifigant step in securing the future of daytime soaps on network tv" and that "long-time viewers of soaps and people that are soap opera purists will be delighted with the choices GEN-TV is making".

Nobody at GEN-TV is saying a word about it except to say that "nothing is impossible".

One thing that might suggest this to be true is leaked reports of GEN-TV secertly meeting with major soap opera writers, producers and actors about a top secret project. Recently displaced soap actors Jacklyn Zeman, Genie Francis, Martha Byrne, Drake Hogysten and Tamara Braun were all spotted outside the GEN-TV studios, at the time many believed it had to do with either "Guiding Light" or the "Soap Opera Digest Awards" but word is spreading that they have been auditioning for roles in a new soap opera to air on GEN-TV next year.

While nobody is talking recently named head of daytime at GEN-TV, Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins did acknowledge that "If GL and our talk shows are successful launching a new daytime soap would not be out of the question and would very much be the next logical step in our networks developement".

Some reports claim that the launch of this new soap is contingent on "Guiding Lights" success.

Speaking of GL, what would GEN-TV consider a successful launch for that show? currently the series averages about 2 million viewers a week, which rates it as dead last 9 out of 9 soaps. Considering that GEN-TV is a smaller network than CBS it's unrealistic to expect the show to keep it's current 2 million viewer average, but GEN-TV expect the show can maintain at least 1.3 million viewers. "anything under 1.3 million would be considered a huge flop by GEN-TV".

The only thing "GL" fans to hold onto is that no matter what the show will air for at least three years as the series contract with GEN-TV is through December 2011.

With a deal between YTN and TCN pending GEN-TV is offically expressing interest in the rights to the series "Being Average". A spokesperson for the network has said that if the series is cancelled by it's current networks that they would be "highly interested in pursuing some sort of deal to buy the series outright". The network said that most likely they would want to buy rights to produce new episodes of the series and possibly to retool the series in some format to suit its programming needs. The deal is not currently pending but is in the words of Matthew Smith "something we are greatly considering should it ever become available".

GEN-TV has also made it known that they would like to buy the network syndication rights to the USA original series "PSYCH" and "The 4400". Psych is a comedy detective series that airs on USA and is about to enter it's fourth season and The 4400 is a cancelled science fiction drama that aired for several seasons on the network. If the syndication rights for either become available GEN-TV would like to buy them. GEN-TV currently holds the syndication rights to the USA series "MONK" although it is currently off the GEN-TV schedule.

YTN Responds To Rumors
From the President of YTN:
"Lately there have been rumors that YTN wants to terminate the contract over Being Average with TCN, we can confirm that this is partly true. YTN is willing to pay TCN to end the contract after season two if Being Average doesn't do well. Thus far Being Average's numbers haven't been that large, and to keep producing a series with low numbers is a disadvantage for us. So, we at YTN will wait until the season premiere in September to see if the numbers increase. If not, YTN will pay TCN to terminate the contract."
RUMORSABOUTVSHOWS PRESS RELEASE:
YTN and TCN Agree On Being Average
YTN and TCN will both air season two of YTN's first comedy, Being Average. With GEN-TV expressing interest in the series, YTN and TCN decided to finally come to an agreement. However, they changed the contract to say after season two, either network can drop the series. TCN says "If YTN wants to end the contract, we'd love to share it with GEN-TV." YTN says "TCN is a great network, and if they do in fact want to end the contract, we would be more than happy for GEN-TV to share the rights to Being Average." YTN and TCN will both meet after season two, and if one network drops the series, they will offer GEN-TV shared rights.

After expressing interest in two USA series GEN-TV got a very warm response from NBC Universal/USA and has since signed an exclusive deal to carry the network syndication rights to not one, not two, but three USA original series.

The three series are "Psych" the fictional detective series starring James Roday and Dule Hill, the deal allows GEN-TV to strip the series weekdays and weekends starting in fall 2011. For now GEN-TV has the rights to reair only the last season of the series. The next series is "The Dead Zone" starring Anthony Michael Hall which aired on USA earlier this decade. GEN-TV has the rights to all the episodes of the series to air on weekends. And lastly, GEN-TV has the rights to the USA original series "The 4400" which they expressed interest in. The deal starts in Fall 2010 and allows GEN-TV to air the series on weekdays and weekends.

Lastly, GEN-TV announces that they have offically dropped Laurie Metcalf from a development and holding deal they had with her. The actress and network have been unable to come to terms on a project for her and have decided to part ways mutually.

Finola Hughes has never appeared on the Bold and the Beautiful however she did appear on Sunset Beach. I thought Guiding Light has been cancelled, has it been picked up by Cable Network? Never heard that Finola would be joining the cast, is this for real?

B&B was a typo. as for Guiding Light, this is a fictional thread about fictional networks it's called "create a network" the GL pick-up is FICTIONAL. and her joining the show is also fictional GEN-TV is a made up network.

Deidra Hall is a woman that was known for many decades to viewers of soap operas , but has very little fame outside of her role on "Days Of Our Lives", other than a short stint on the 1980's flop drama "Our House" which ran on NBC from 1986-1987 and was best known as the first series that starred Shannen Doherty and Chad Allen. Hall who played Marlena Evans on DOOL since the 1970's and never won an Emmy left daytime last year after NBC opted to retire her character. Many viewers wondered if another soap would pick her up or if she'd start a hosting career. Nobody would have guessed she'd opt instead to star on her own Talk Show, as she has never been a very vocal actress, preferring to keep her opinions to herself and always carrying herself with class.

Hall who has never hosted a talk show before is gearing up for the debut next week of "Diedra Hall" which debuts on GEN-TV at 9am on August 12th.

The series is a talk show that will focus on beauty, fashion, lifestyle issues and aging. These are all issues that Hall knows very well as a woman who has made her career starring on glamarous daytime soap operas, an industry that stresses youth and beauty she knows a thing or two about aging and trying to stay young looking.

Hall who says she has often been asked to write books about her youthful apperances has said that she has always wanted to host a show about these topics and plans to use every celebrity relationship she has to make her series a hit.

Diedra Hall debuts right here on GEN-TV on August 12th at 9am.

A major corporate shake-up has occurred at GEN-TV. The network which was owned by FOLCO has been sold to another corporation and will be loosing half it's staff. The company that bought it is RAINBOW PRODUCTIONS which is a subsidary of YOUTH-TV, a youth oriented production company that started in Canada in 1986 and has mostly produced direct-to-video movies and video games for the youth market. They haven't had much success until 2005 when they were bought by RAINBOW PRODUCTIONS which was an independant production company that has produced shows for various networks, mostly cable. Due to being sold from FOLCO, the network will no longer be overseen by FOL staff members Markus Williams and Matthew Smith. Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins will also no longer be working for GEN-TV as she is signed to a contract with FOLCO, not GEN-TV.

Haylee James, the current president of RAINBOW PRODUCTIONS has said that "we have major plans for GEN-TV and the network will be undergoing a massive overhaul of it's current line-up and programming strategy".

She said that a President of GEN-TV will be named soon as will some other supporting positions for the network.

Matthew Smith will remain at FOLCO where he will likely be put in charge of another network, Markus Williams will also stay at FOLCO where he will likely be reassigned to another job. Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins will likely be out of work since FOLCO does not have any other network with soap operas or talk shows on the line-up.

Staff members at GEN-TV who are worried about their future now that the network has been sold to Rainbow Productions may not have to worry afterall, officals in New York are reporting that the deal worth 12 million dollars to buy GEN-TV from FOLCO may not go through as planned due to "massive finical issues involved with Rainbow Productions credit history and tax return statements over the last five years". Also, it looks like several key people involved in the deal on Rainbow's end "were less than honest when filing papers in court and left out some key information in regards to lt's licesnes and FCC standing". The deal is in great jepoardy.

A represenative at FOLCO was quoted as saying "this is a disaster".

But the question still remains why did FOLCO want to sell their most profitable network to begin with? An answer may exist in a statement that the late Shirley Smith gave to the press last year "FOLCO is a very greedy company and wants a lot of money fast, they don't always think their deals through".

According to insiders it may be weeks before answers are known and if this deal can be approved. as it stands a federal judge must approve the deal.

YTN Press Release:
YTN Signs Contract With Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions
YTN has officially agreed to a three year contract with Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman, and David Crane after GEN-TV dropped the three earlier today. The three year contract agrees to pay the three a hefty salary with a possible bonus. The three will headline the new mutli-camera comedy "Divorced" and have agreed to come up with a new comedy for YTN.

08-03-2009, 01:12 PM

After coming on-board to help shape "Second Family" the team of Bright-Kauffman-Crane has parted ways with GEN-TV and will not work on the second season of the series. BKC and GEN-TV have "mutually parted ways" stated a spokesperson for GEN-TV and Marta Kauffman said "This was totally an aimcable split, we will gladly work with GEN-TV in the future". David Crane stated "Second Family is a show that knows where it's going and GEN-TV knows what they are doing, they don't need us". "Second Family" is currently the highest rated program on GEN-TV and has broken ratings records for the network. Conviced by GEN-TV's late Shirley Smith the series enlisted BKC to help shape the series in it's early episodes and by the time the fifth episode aired the show was the biggest hit on TV. BKC has opted not to renew their contract with GEN-TV which expired and GEN-TV has agreed that the show can go on without them because it's a solid hit.

The network is apparently recruting some other heavyweights to keep the show on-track. Coming on-board as Head-Writer and Executive Producer is Suzanne De Passe of De Passe Entertainment (formerly Motown Productions Inc.,). Coming on-board to direct is heavy-weight director James Burrows.

According to a press statement from Ms. De Passe "I am very pleased to be working on Second Family and cannot wait to help the series move forward".

Burrows, a multiple Emmy-winner has directed many of the best sitcoms and dramas on television including "Cheers", "Will & Grace" and "The West Wing".

In order for the series to move forward it appears several changes will be made, first and foremost says De Passe is "Replacing Melissa Joan Hart and the character of Jodi". "I have some big ideas on how to do that and i believe all current fans will be happy with the choices we are making".

LEGAL DISCLAIMER---- THIS IS FAKE, there is no GEN-TV or any show named second family. i am not a represenative of any persons mentioned in this article. this is fiction and just for fun.----

Suzanne De Passe who just recently signed a exclusive three-year contract with GEN-TV to not only oversee production and writing for "Second Family" but to develop other comedy projects for the network as well has announced some of the changes she has planned for "Second Family" the solid hit comedy that will begin it's second season in Winter 2010.

First up, the series will be seeing three characters exit the series: Rider Strong as Richard Clarke will exit the series by the end of this season, as will Niki Cox as Skye Millhouse and Steve Howey as Jeremy Wientroub.

De Passe cites "the absence of storyline possiblity for these characters" as the key reason for their exit she explains "The absence of Melissa Joan Harts Jodi character leaves the centeral romantic triangle without a reason to exist and without that story the characters of Skye and Richard are left with nothing to do".

She also announced that we'll see a shift in the series tone "the series will shift from having a season long arch to having more stand alone episodes mixed in with one or two centeral story archs" explained De Passe.

It seems we'll also see the series focus shift to looking more towards "the lives of these people at work and at home, as opposed to just at home".

A few new cast memebers will likely be added but as of now nothing has been decided.

If she could pick her dream cast who would she pick? She says "I'd love to get Tia Mowry on-board as a sister for Stacey because i'd love to work with both Mowry girls again". (De Passe produced and created "Sister Sister" the 90's sitcom that starred Tia and Tamera Mowry and launched their careers). I'd also love to work with Wanda Skyes or Christina Applegate says De Passe.

Sherri Shepherd ("The View", "Less Than Perfect") and Donald Fasion ("Scrubs", "Clueless") are among the group of names that will be joining the cast of "Second Family" when the series returns for it's second season next winter.

Shepherd, currently one of the hosts of ABC's "The View" is a well known actress that has appeared on "Less Than Perfect" and "Suddenly Susan". She will join the cast as Lorna Russell, the snarly, self-absorbed and glamarous building manager that will cause havoc in the life of Stacey (Tamera Mowry) who is now the lead character on the show.

Faison, fresh off his decade long stint on "Scrubs" will join the cast as Eric Russell, the thrity-something brother of Lorna who has been down of his luck lately after a bitter divorce that has left him penniless and jobless (he was working for his ex-wifes father) and living on Lorna's couch. Lorna is desperate to get rid of him and tries constantly to set him up with Stacey who is repulsed by the idea of being with Eric who she finds to be a slob, gross and childish.

At this time GEN-TV is annoucing the casting of another two cast members, both well known to audiences as child actors; Keisha Knight Pulliam best known as Rudy on "The Cosby Show" is joining the cast as Lydia Wright, the glamarous, divaish ex-wife of Eric who has unknowningly moved into the same building he know lives in after her father cuts her off and who has her eye set on Dr. Matt Hudson (Eric Balfour), as she belives getting a doctor will help her win her fathers approval. Also coming into the cast is Tatiana M. Ali, best known as good girl Ashely Banks on the 90's sitcom "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air". She comes on-board as Vanessa Groves, a seemingly saintly doctor working at the same hospital as Matt that also has her eyes on him.

While Shepherd, Faison and Pulliam are listed as series regulars it appears that Ali is listed only as a "recurring guest star".

Suzanne De Passe, the new executive producer and head writer of the series has said at least two more cast announcements will be made later in the week.

A federal judge today has granted a request by FOLCO to approve an injunction that would at least for the next 90 days prevent the Rainbow Productions Company from taking ownership of GEN-TV. The judge said "It is clear that some violation of the law has taken place during this deal and it is my belife that the 90 injunction will serve as a good period to further look into this situation so that i can decide what the best thing to do is". When the court reconvines in 90 days he expects both sides to show plenty of evidance so that he can decide if the deal is valid.

In other GEN-TV news, finicial powerhouse Markus Williams, currently the President of GEN-TV Business affairs has resigned from all of his posts, citing "unhealthy and unethical business practices by FOLCO". Effective immedietly he has severed all ties with FOLCO. In a similar story, Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins has also quit her job citing "irreconciable differences in business ethics" as her reason for quitting her post as Head of daytime television for GEN-TV.

For the time being Matthew Smith will oversee the business affairs of the company in additio to his role as Entertainment and Creative President and Syliva Wilkes Sharpe an executive at PRIDE TV will oversee the daytime line-up for GEN-TV in addition to her current duties.

Marcy Carsey of Carsey-Werner Television, the team currently working on "Hot Tamales" has been asked to oversee daily production on two of GEN-TV's newest series "The Daily Grind" starring Debra Messing and "People I Know" starring Fred Savage. The two new sitcoms are currently seen as "underdogs" and "less than a sure bet" to become hits and GEN-TV wisely believes that hiring top level producers like Carsey-Werner can make all the difference. Afterall they know sitcoms, they are the team behind some of TV's biggest hits including "Roseanne", "Grace Under Fire", "That 70's Show" and "3rd Rock From The Sun".

Carsey believes that "both these shows have tremendous potential to hit, barring a few changes in casting and execution". She also believes "that they have two big talents in their lead cast memebers (Debra Messing and Fred Savage respecitvely) and they will help propell the show upwards".

Fresh off a stint on ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money" Seth Gable, who played Jeremy Darling has been added to the cast of the GEN-TV sitcom "Second Family" announced Suzanne De Passe, the newly minted Head Writer and Executive Producer. Gable has been a very sought after talent following the cancellation of DSM and it took "three months of constant negoitation to get Gable signed to a contract with GEN-TV" says Matthew Smith of GEN-TV. "We knew he'd work at GEN-TV but didn't at the time have any idea which show he'd be on, we basically offered him the chance to take a role on any of our shows----originally we assumed he'd go towards "without a trace' or "samantha who" but he choose "Second Family" instead" says Smith.

Also being announced today is that former "7th Heaven" star David Gallagher will also join the cast.

Gallagher will play Robert Nates a nasty co-worker of Claudia (Mila Kunis) who moves into the building and causes friction between Claudia and Stacey. Gable will play Henry Thomson an ex-boyfriend of Claudia who comes back into her life with a strange proposistion for her.

Deede Phiffer best known to television audiences for her role as Cybill Shepherds eldest daughter on the sitcom "Cybill" has been added to the cast of the upcoming GEN-TV sitcom "Life's Facts" as Nancy Stevens, taking over the role from Andrea Parker who has been dropped from the series. A rep for the show said "the decision to recast the role was made to give the role more of a prescene". According to focus groups the role of Nancy was coming off as a bit "underwritten and white-washed" says a rep for the network.

Phiffer, the sister of Oscar-Nominated actress Michelle Phiffer has starred in two long-running tv series "Cybill" and "For Your Love" and has done guest work on various series including "Without A Trace".

Andrea Parker must feel bad, she started out the season with roles on two GEN-TV sitcoms "Life's Facts" and "Chelsea Handler's Take On Life" before being dropped from "Chelsea" to concentrate on "Life's Facts". Now she's without a job. She was replaced by Joely Fisher on "Cheslea Handler's take on life"... No word yet on if she'll turn up on another GEN-TV series, but if rumors indicate anything her days at GEN-TV could be numbered.

A federal judge today rule earlier than expected and declared that "Rainbow Productions is clearly at fault and has lied, manipulated and cheated it's way during the making of a deal to buy GEN-TV from FOLCO". The judge ruled that the deal is indeed "Illegal and invalid" and has declared the sale of GEN-TV to be "categorically without legal merit". Due to this ruling GEN-TV ownership will revert back to FOLCO and Rainbow Productions is now barred from attempting to buy GEN-TV or any other FOLCO network ever again.

A spokesperson at FOLCO said this "we are very satisfied with this ruling".

As GEN-TV premieres for the September debuts of it's primetime line-up the producers and directors at the network are working quickly to finalize the cast lists of it's upcoming shows. Several GEN-TV shows like "Life's Facts", "The Huntress" and "People I Know" have already undergone cast changes, and shows like "Texas Justice" and "House Of Secrets And Lies" are expected to do so soon.

Here are a few cast changes being announced today:

"The Daily Grind": Michael Rappaport ("Boston Public", "The War At Home") replaces Mark Fureinstien as Markus Bluth, the ex-boyfriend and now boss of Debra Messing's character Christie. Fureinstien is currently attached to "Hot Tamales" so he was unable to work on this show, the pilot of which he shot as a favor to producers.

"The Huntress": Molly Culver (V.I.P.) replaces Alicia Witt in the role of Samantha due to poor chemistry between her and Shanen Doherty. The role will be rewritten slightly to accomodate the new actress.

Two small changes have been made the the GEN-TV fall schedule. The first is that "Samantha Who" will be vacating it's Monday timeslot in favor of "Kathy Griffin's Show" which is moving from Friday nights. "Samantha Who" is being held over until mid-season because "the network doesn't feel it is ready to start airing in the fall". Replacing "Kathy Griffin's Show" in it's Friday timeslot is reruns of the 90's sitcom "Step By Step".

Samantha Who a transplant from ABC is undergoing some casting and creative changes this season and needs more time to flesh all that out before airing. The network recently announced that Barry Watson, Melissa McCarthy, Kevin Dunn, Tim Russ, Rick Hoffman and Billy Zane have all been dropped from the cast. When the show does return we'll see that Samantha has dumped Todd, sold her apartment and moved out of New York and into Los Angeles to start a new life and her mother Regina (Jean Smart) has tagged along after divorcing Howard. The network is currently looking for actors to play Samanth's new love interest and Regina's new love interest. Jennifer Espizito who plays Andrea will still appear on the show as Andrea moves to L.A. with Samantha.

"Kathy" will premier September 14th and "Samantha" in mid-season.

GEN-TV is looking to get into the game show business and has secured the broadcast rights for two of the most popular board games in America. They have secured the rights to the classic Parker Brothers game "Clue" and the classic Milton Bradely game "Perfection".

The live action version of Clue will be a interactive celebrity based game where celebirty participants will take on the personas of the board game characters, for example let's say Joan Rivers as Mrs. White and will act out the game on a giant life size board to the contestants whims. The object of the game will still be to correctly identify the weapon, room and culprit within a set time limit. Each game will be 20 minuets long. Each contestant will compete for cash prizes and trips. As the game goes along contestants will have to bank various amounts of money and the winner will get whatever is banked.

The game perfection, the classic game in which contestants attempt to work against a clock to fit shapes into holes on a board will be life sized as contestants attempt to fit pieces into a life size board utilizing giant sticks and a board below them on a game space 20 feet in the air.

These two games shows are currently in the pilot stages and are being considered for a spot on the 2010-2011 fall schedule.

The winner, once again, will get all the money in the bank at the end, while the other contestants leave with nothing.

The other game show that YTN has ordered is Can You Beat Ken?. Back in 2004, Ken Jennings went on Jeopardy, won 74 straight games and $2.5 million dollars. For the board game, the goal is to see who can get to $2.6 million dollars first. However, in the television version on YTN, the goal is to see who can answer 10 questions right first. The contestant will get to answer first, and then Ken Jennings. Each contestant will get one help for their question where they get to ask one person in the audience what they think the answer is. Each correct answer earns a person $10,000 dollars. If they answer the 10 questions first, and do in fact beat Ken Jennings, the contestant will win $500,000. The second highest amount of money that can be won is $90,000.

The two new game shows are being held for midseason. They join Outburst! as the three game shows on YTN.

YTN's midseason slate currently has many options:
*The Weakest Link
*Can You Beat Ken?
*Untitled Family Reality Show
*Divorced
*Unititled Bright/Kauffman/Crane Comedy

Though still hours away from her actual television debut as a talk show host, Deidra Hall has already won over some critics that got an early screening of her premiere episode. Critics from Entertainment Magazine, Today's TV and The New York Daily Maze were all happy with what they saw.

Entertainment Magazine raves "Hall is a natural, effortless host and her expertise on aging and beauty is evidant and she takes viewers down a road of health, excersie and living life to it's fullest".

NY Daily Maze said "The fans that loved her on Days Of Our Lives as Marlena will follow her, but based on her natural charm in front of the camera i believe millions of people unfamilar with Marlena will also fall in love with Deidra because she is what she says she is".

and Today's TV said "Deidra is the most natural, obvious choice for a talk show and yet nobody would have even thought to think of her as a talk show host. This is the best talk show i've seen debut since The Rosie O'Donnell Show in 1996, this is the next big hit, Deidra is a sure fire hit".

Deidra Hall debuts on GEN-TV at 900am today.

The annual Television Critics Association (TCA) recently wrapped up it's annual press convention where networks showcase their upcoming programming for TV critics and journalists. The convention held every year in the summer before programming airs is meant to help networks build up buzz for their new fall series and hopefully give viewers a clue as to what to watch.

GEN-TV recently held their 3-day long presentation highlighting their first ever Primetime programming line-up and a few surprising contenders emerged as the most buzzed about shows on the network, while some previously heavy favorites faltered in the midst of lack of buzz and negative critical feedback.

Here is the rundown on the most and least buzzed about shows, according to Critical rankings from the TCA. (after each networks session the TCA members are asked to rank their favorite and least favorite shows from each network).

Critic Favorites:
People I Know
The Daily Grind
The Story Of Jacob
One Of These Days

Critic Least Favorites:
The Huntress
Texas Justice
Ivy Halls
Life's Facts
Julie McPherson IS Somebody

What this means?

The rankings of these shows simply means that these shows are the one's critics responded well too or negatively too, if a show wasn't rated that means it either didn't leave an impression either way with critics or it was just not among the worst or best. These ratings are used as an indication of what type of viewer trends we could expect in the upcoming season.

For GEN-TV the fact that "The Huntress" and "Texas Justice" were among the least liked programs with critics is a problem because these are among the two big shows the network was hoping would launch the networks schedule. a source close to the network said "The Huntress is the show that GEN-TV has built their entire marketing campaing around and many at GEN-TV believe it is the future of their network; and Texas Justice has been a network favorite from the start, but since it's intial conception has changed so much many viewers probrally won't find much to like about it".

The good news is that two shows previously seen as dark horses "People I Know" and "The Daily Grind" were ranked positivley which exceeded expectations of the network, which hadn't pinned much hope on either series. a source at the network said "both shows were being seen by the network as filler shows that would fill the schedule holes until Hot Tamales or Second Family could come back and neither series was seen as having much future beyond this season, this gives both shows new life".

Another sour note is the poor reception of Life's Facts, the new sitcom starring Lisa Whelchel and Kirk Cameron which the network itself is very high on right now, so much so that they recently upgraded it to a prime Thursday nigth 8pm timeslot, moving it out of the Friday night death slot, which has since been filled with numerous reruns of classic series. People at GEN-TV believe the show is going to be a solid hit and believe viewers will love it, but the poor notices from critics do give the network cause to worry.

GEN-TV has released the following casting notices as of today, August 13, 2009.

"The House Of Secrets & Lies"

Scarlett Pomers (Reba) is being recasted with Kay Panabaker (Phil of the future, Summerland). The recast is apparently being dictated by the network after "poor viewer reaction to Pomers in the role".

Also, Monica Keena is being recasted with Tiffani Thissen, this recast is due to a change in the creative direction of the storyline which required a more mature actress in the role.

and lastly, James Lafferty is being recasted with Matthew Bomer ("Chuck", "Guiding Light"), this recast is because the character has been rewritten from it's original form and Lafferty no longer fits the series needs.

"Julie McPherson IS Somebody"

The role of Emma is being recasted, Megan Fox is out and Selma Blair is in, because the role has been rewritten.

"Me, My Wife and Our Mothers"

Johnny Lee Miller is being recast with Tom Cavanagh as the role of Brad is being totally rewritten due to negative focus group reaction.

"This Time Around"

The role of Roger Hesser, a troubled teen with violent tendancies towards Lacey Chaberts character Marissa is being recast with Justin Berfield (Malcolm In The Middle), as the previously cast actor David Gallagher is now committed to GEN-TV's "Second Family".

Also, Linda Cardellini (ER's Samantha Taggert) takes over the role of Allison Harper Clarke from Katherine Higel who was filming the pilot as a favor for her friend Marshall Herskovitz, who shot the pilot. Higel is committed to ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and couldn't commit to a series. Cardellini spent nearly a decade playing nurse Samantha Taggert on NBC's iconic drama series "E.R." which famously wrapped up it's 15th and final season last May.

Gen-TV is proud to announce that it's first ever daytime talk show "Deidra Hall" is an instant hit. The series debuted today at 900am and reached 6.7 million viewers, the highest ratings that a talk show debut reached since the launch of "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" in 1996 (Rosie reached 7.5 million viewers) in it's inagural season. Hall was #1 in Women 18-49 and #1 in Teen Girls 12-25. Matthew Smith of GEN-TV says "we are pleased with the ratings for Deidra Hall and knew she would deliver". Because of these ratings the show ranked as the #2 most watched daytime talk show on Television, behind only "The Oprah Winfrey Show".

The smash success of this show gives GEN-TV's fall talk shows a lot more pressure to perform, especially "Joan Rivers" which is being touted as the networks next big sensation and many critics are hoping will save the future of daytime talk. "Rinnavation TV with Lisa Rinna" is currently expected to be a moderate performer.

The ratings for the daytime talk shows on Wed were as follows:

1. The Oprah Winfrey Show- Syndication- 12.3 million
2. Diedra Hall- GEN-TV- 6.7 million
3. Live With Regis and Kelly- Syndication- 6.3 million
4. The Ellen De Generes Show- Syndication- 6.1 million
5. The View- ABC- 6 million
7. Dr. Phil- Syndication-4.5 million
8. The Rachael Ray Show- Syndication- 4 million
9. The Tyra Banks Show- The CW- 2.1 million
10. The Bonnie Hunt Show- Syndication. 1.1 million

After premiering Wednesday to solid ratings, "Diedra Hall" the newest talk show from GEN-TV expierenced a dip in the ratings in it's second episode on Thursday. Wed's debut attracted 6.7 million viewers, the highest ratings a new talk show has gotten since "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" in 1996. However, Thursdays second episode reached only 5.2 million people, almost a million less viewers tuned in from it's first episode to it's second episode. That was still enough to place it as the 3rd most watched talk show on Thursday behind "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Live with Regis and Kelly".

The good news is that today, Friday's episode built upon that and reached 5.9 million viewers, a steady increase from thursday's episode.

For the entire week this is how the week's talk shows ranked:

1. The Oprah Winfrey Show- Syndication- 19.3 million
2. Live With Regis and Kelly- Syndication- 19.1 million
3. The View- ABC- 18.2
4. Deidra Hall- GEN-TV- 12.5
5. The Rachael Ray Show- Syndication- 12.3
6. The Ellen De Generes Show- Syndication- 11.2
7. Dr. Phil- Syndication- 8.3
8. The Doctors- Syndication- 5.6
9. The Tyra Banks Show- The CW- 4.5
10. The Bonnie Hunt Show- Syndication- 3.3, The Wendy Williams Show- Syndication- 3.3

Despite constantly denying it was planning to launch an original soap opera, GEN-TV today took a bold step forward towards doing just that. They have ordered scripts for what could become potential pilot presentations for three different soaps.

Among those scripts being ordered is a script called "Day By Day", a soap focusing on the staff and students of a small, new england college town. The script being written by Claire Labaine is considered a front-runner for a pilot presentation.

Another script being considered is called "Windy Days" and is a court-based drama focusing on the lives and times of a disgraced former district attorney who is given the chance to revive her career when her arch-rival turns up dead.

and lastly, "Between Sisters" a pilot about sorority sisters in a college sorority is also being considered.

GEN-TV has yet to decide which, if any of these series will go to pilot stage, but insiders are saying at least one is considered a "front-runner" to go to that stage.

GEN-TV's Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins today highlighted what she believes will be the fat of GEN-TV's daytime line-up.

The head of daytime at the network first confirmed that "Between Sisters" a college-based soap set in a sorority house has been rejected by the network "that pilot will not move forward to the series stage, it was not well received within GEN-TV, we felt that it's potential to work as a series was limited".

That leaves two other pilots on deck "Day By Day" written by Claire Labaine also set in a college, but with a more traditonal soap feel to it as it encompasses also the college staff and administration along with students and parents. and "Windy Days" written by Megan McTavish and focused on a disgraced district attorney struggling to get her career back after several lies and scandals ruined her.

A decision for either series isn't likey yet says Dobbins "we have to first see what kind of numbers Guiding Light gets and then we can move forward so a decision on these isn't likely until late-winter at best".

But one thing that is sure is that Talk shows will become more of a feature within GEN-TV, "we are tremendously impressed with the ratings that Deidra Hall is getting and believe that Joan and Lisa's shows will do well as well (Joan Rivers and Lisa Rinna) so it wouldn't be unexpected to see one or two more talk shows appear at some point".

Dobbins is hopeful that reruns of four classic soaps scheduled to start in the fall will score with viewers "we are very excited to see what ratings for The City, Santa Barbara, Guiding Light Classics and Sunset Beach are like; we feel each show will grab a dedicated audience and help launch our networks daytime programming".

When asked about the state of game shows on GEN-TV she said "At the present time our daytime line-up won't be able to accomodate a game show, but in the future it's likely to happen--but for now, i suggest people tune into Perfection and Clue in the fall".

The ratings for today's Deidra Hall saw an almost quadruple digit increase today. Monday's episode of Deidra Hall attracted 11.8 million viewers, up from Friday's episode which reached 7.5 million viewers.

Here is a tally of ratings for Hall so far:

Episode 1: 6.7 million
Episode 2. 5.2
Episode 3: 5.9
Episode 4 (Monday): 11.8 million (SERIES HIGH!)

Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins, the head of daytime at GEN-TV said "I am very proud to see Deidra's ratings gain so much steam, and i am not surprised because i believe that Hall is very talented and that people will show up in droves to watch her show".

She was however realistic in stating "the weekend marathon was likely a factor to the high jump from 5.4 to 11.8 million viewers; so it'll be interesting to see if viewership holds up throughout the week".

Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbins today previewed the GEN-TV September 2009 Daytime schedule. As the primetime schedule has already been leaked GEN-TV wanted to leak the daytime schedule for audiences.

Dobbins stresses "the schedule has been changed from August's schedule to maximize the impact we can have on the other networks; we want to demolish their ratings and build our own line-up. We want ABC's Brian Frons to be crying in his office and we want CBS's Barbara Bloom to just give up", of course Dobbins was mostly joking but did say "we are hoping to optimize the success we've had in the past and increase it".

Dobbins first stated that successful sitcoms like "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, Friends and The Nanny will still have a place on the line-up... Sabrina and The Nanny along with Frasier and The New Adventures Of Old Christine make-up the first three hours of our weekday schedule, followed by Deidra Hall at 9 and three classic soaps from 10-1130, building up to Rinnavation TV with Lisa Rinna at 1130. and at 1230 Classic Guiding Light takes over followed by another hour of sitcoms with back to back "Married With Children" and "Malcolm In The middle". "Joan Rivers" takes on Oprah and News at 4pm--in many markets across the country 4pm is designated for the 4pm newscast and for The Oprah Winfrey Show, which has won it's timeslot every week since 1991 in most markets--- but GEN-TV is hoping "Joan Rivers" is going to be the person to take down Oprah and the news at 4pm... at 5pm is classic soap "Santa Barbara" followed by an hour and a half of "Friends" from 5-7pm.

In the past 7 and 730pm were part of the daytime schedule but starting this fall that becomes part of the primetime schedule and GEN-TV won't have daytime programming in that hour.

Here is the full daytime schedule for September 2009:

Daytime (M-F):
6am: Sabrina, The Teenage Witch
630: Sabrina, The Teenage Witch
700: The Nanny
730: The Nanny
800: Frasier

Despite rampant speculation that she would become a permante fixture on her mothers show, GEN-TV today has confirmed that Melissa Rivers has declined the chance to appear on her mothers upcoming talk show, stating that the TV personality has "declined to sign a GEN-TV contract that would allow her to appear on her mothers show as a regular cast member".

Rivers best known as Joan Rivers daughter is famous for hosting red carpet shows and being a tv host.

EDIT: Melissa Rivers is still under contract by PRIDE TV, the gay and lesbian network owned by FOLCORP that airs her recently ended series "Joan and Melissa Talk Fashion". That series ended it's first run of 22 episode back in May and has yet to be renewed for a second cycle, which does not appear to be likely as Joan is busy concentrating on her new talk show. Melissa's contract with FOLCORP ends in October 2009 and rumors were that she would resign to appear on GEN-TV's "Joan Rivers" talk show but as of yet that has not happened.

Back in April we at FOLCORP issued a press release highligting the cancelation and renewals that would take place at PRIDE TV. Since it's been a few months and that schedule is going to be updated shortly we thought it would be time to refresh memories of which shows will not be coming back and which one's will be coming back.

Let's start off with the bad news; the following series have been cancelled by PRIDE TV and will not be returning at any point:

Out of the Closet- This Tammy Etheridge documentary series was cancelled due to low ratings.

DIVA- The reality competition series was a non-starter and never picked up an audience despite having RuPaul attached to it. It has been cancelled.

Which One Is gay?- This reality series which was a relic from PRIDE TV's past was cancelled after airing it's third season this past winter. It has been cancelled due to a change in PRIDE TV programming strategy.

Boys Like Us and Girls Like Us- both of these documentary series which followed gay or lesbian teens through their journeys were not favored by audiences, despite critical acclaim. Both have been cancelled, although it's likely that reruns will remain on the schedule as sporadic schedule fillers for the time being.

Good Afternoon, USA- This expiermental gay themed afternoon show was a faliuer from the very start and depist having talent people behind it will not return for another year.

Now here is the good news, Pride TV has renewed a slew of original series to return to the airwaves.

First up is the networks pride and joy, "The Rosie O'Donnell Interviews" which will return for a third season debuts sometime in September. (details to be announced at a later date). There will be 15 episodes this season.

PRIDE TV has also renewed Nate Berkus's home lifestyle series "CAN DO" which attracted a modest but loyal audience and will return with a new season of either 12 or 13 episodes. this hasn't been decided yet. it will return sometime in October or November.

Also coming back is the networks hit reality series "Help, I Want to Come OUT!" in which Carson Kressley and other lifestyle experts help people come out to loved ones, co-workers, friends or simply work up the nerve to acknowledge who they are. 13 new episodes have been ordered for late-fall.

Our Music Now, an expiermental mid-day music program has continued to deliver solid ratings throughout the summer and was declared a solid hit months ago. It will continue to air on PRIDE TV without interputtion all year long. It had already been renewed for a five year cycle, with out-clauses every three months which would allow the network to reconsider if the ratings suddenly fell or something happened.

Wake Up America is also going to continue airing as is on PRIDE TV. Despite some cast upheavel and content changes it has continued to deliver decent ratings. It has been renewed beyond it's current three-year contract to keep it on the air through 2015.

Lastly, Joan and Melissa Talk Fashion is currently up in the air. Originally it was going to be renewed for a mega season of 25 episodes do to excellent ratings. However when Joan agreed to do a talk show for GEN-TV that put into question the status of the show. Thought both shows are owned by FOLCORP and Joan and Melissa are both under contract with FOLCORP the company has yet to decide if they'll continue production on this show. They have to work out Joan's schedule and see if it is doable. More on that at a later date.

More details about PRIDE TV will be announced at a later date.

RumorsAboutTVShows Press Release
THE COMEDY NETWORK PRESENTS ON A DIFFERENT NETWORK?
RumorsAboutTVShows has learned that The Comedy Network plans to sell their hit series, The Comedy Network Presents, in order to stay afloat. The Comedy Network has paid large distributors such as Warner Brothers Television and ABC Studios over $100 million dollars total to syndicate their programs. Unfortunately, that large payment has done any wonders for The Comedy Network. Only taking in $28 million dollars since it was created in March of 2009, The Comedy Network has lost over $72 million dollars. The Comedy Network has only one way to get rid of that debt, sell its top series, The Comedy Network Presents. Now, if you havent seen it, The Comedy Network Presents sits down with comedy stars from the 70's, 80's, 90's and today and asks them all about their career. Think of it as an E! True Hollywood Story in a way. Each week The Comedy Network Presents interviews one male, and one female star, then airs their hit comedy afterwards. The only way for The Comedy Network to keep profits going is to sell their hit series, or shut down the entire network. Since 279 people work at TCN Studios, nobody wants to shut down. It looks like The Comedy Network should stop producing the series, or at least cut its deal with Your Television Network for Being Average.

GEN-TV today is offically expressing interest in purchasing the TCN series "The Comedy Network Presents" . Since TCN is interested in selling it GEN-TV is willing to buy the series outright from the network. We offically present this offer of 40 million dollars to purchase the series outright, which we feel is more than fair to cover the costs associated with the series and it's high liscening fees. If TCN is willing to sell it to use our legal repsenative Alexis Ashby-Swift is willing to discuss the terms.

YTN Bids For "THE COMEDY NETWORK PRESENTS"
Less than 24 hours after a TCN Press Release said YTN was the front runner in bidding for the hit series, The Comedy Network Presents, YTN can reveal how much was bid. Early yesterday, YTN offered to give TCN $35 million dollars for the series, and an additional season of "Being Average". Since Being Average is the second highest rated program on TCN, YTN felt it was necessary to give TCN something else is exchange instead of just money. Since then, GEN-TV has made a $40 million dollar offer for the hit series.

Melissa Rivers has offically signed a contract to stay within the FOLCO family. She has signed a two-year deal worth a reported 11 million dollars to star in a brand new reality series for PRIDE TV called "The Melissa Rivers Show". The one-hour documentary/Reality series will follow Melissa around as she interacts with her family, her co-workers and of course her mother, celebirty Joan Rivers.

Melissa Rivers previous contract with FOLCO was up for renewal and speculation as to wether or not she would re-sign with the network was begining to gain steam. When she opted not to sign a contract to work on her mothers upcoming talk show for GEN-TV rumors spread that she was going to leave FOLCO all-together.

Over the past few months people have been wondering why there haven't been any schedule updates or acquastions for the other FOLCO networks like TEEN TV, DRAMA TV, WARP NETWORK, SUDS TV or FEMME TV. According to Matthew Smith there is a very real reason those schedule have remained the same for months.

Back in April it was reported, and apparently accuratrely so that both TEEN TV and WARP Network were going to cease operation. That is still the case. TEEN TV will stop broadcasting on December 15th of this year. Until then the network plans to air a all-day marathon of the same five shows, each one airing once a week, all day long:

Mondays: Sister, Sister
Tuesdays: Dawson's Creek
Wensdays: What I Like About You
Thursdays: That 70's Show
Fridays: Degrassi: The Next Generation
Saturdays: Buffy, The Vampire Slayer
Sundays: Boy Meets World

WARP TV on the other hand will end broadcasting this week, on Friday. It was launched back in March as a joint venture between PARAMOUNT, VIACOM and FOLCO to air reruns of shows that once aired on the WB and UPN networks but failed to attract an audience. Since then it has been airing a rotating wheel of Felicity, Savannah, 7th Heaven and Roswell every day.

But what about the other FOLCO networks such as Drama TV, SUDS TV and FEMME TV? According to Matthew Smith, those networks will continue to broadcast and new schedules for all are pending.

GEN-TV has announced today an October launch date for the upcoming series "Entertainment Tonight presents Reunited", the part-reunion show, part retrospective series that was announced earlier this year utilizing the Entertainment Tonight archives to reunite casts of classic movies and tv shows and popular musical groups. The series was announced earlier this year but no airdate had been set, though all the episodes have been filmed. The series will launch as a mid-season replacement in October. Matthew Smith said "it's very clear that at least a few of our drama or comedy series will fail so we want to have a back-up ready in that event and this show is prime to be a major hit".

The regular host of the series is Mary Harte, but in some cases a special host takes over for specially themed episodes.
