Time for more melodrama in the battle over One Life to Live and All My Children.

Soaps Producer Ramps Up ABC Lawsuit: 'Mega Soap' Fraud Scheme Alleged
Prospect Park, which licensed the soaps from ABC with plans to relaunch them as web-only series, suedin April in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that the network sabotaged the relaunch by, among other things, killing off key characters.
On Wednesday, the plaintiff filed a new amended complaint with more details of ABC's alleged fraud and a demand for more than $95 million in damages. According to the latest court papers, ABC schemed in a quest for a "mega soap."
After Prospect Park entered into a license agreement for all of the elements of the series, ABC is said to have realized its error in abandoning the soaps. Prospect Park had some trouble in launching an online version, and ABC allegedly dismissed the producer's chances of developing the soaps and exercising its option. In late December, ABC announced it had hired two executives familiar with OLTL and despite its agreement with Prospect Park, began scheming "in its quest for a mega soap."
