I hope they pick up ATWT, the same day episodes too.

Bill Bell owns the "Bold and the Beautiful", but Sony owns "Young and the Restless". Sony also owns DOOL. Since DOOL is already on SoapNet and SoapNet's GM has stated that they really want Y&R on their line-up, I'd say it's a sure bet that Y&R will be on SoapNet soon.

Rumor has it that SN is <i>thisclose</i> to picking up Santa Barbara as well as "a couple of currently running soaps from CBS." that is according to one of my VERY reliable sources. We'll see how it turns out.

What source?

Since when? At the end of Y&R it says Bill Bell Productions, he owns the show.

Hmmm I always thought he owned the show himself.

And at the end of DAYS it says Corday Productions, but Sony still owns it. Sony owns Y&R as well.

it could happen, i mean Y&R is also partly owned by Sony which owns DOOL and Soapnet did get that. never say never.

Looking forward to seeing Paper Dolls again, though now SoapNet has acquired two long-running primetime soaps to be added to their weekday line-up. I've always wanted to be first to report something, but out of respect for Pavanbadal, our faithful reporter who I think is still on vacation, I'm going to wait and let him report this acquisition when he comes back.

Oh man, you can't do that, I'm dying of curiosity now

Long running soap, is it primetime or daytime, can you tell us that?
