Production on All My Children and One Life to Live has been halted earlier than planned over a dispute with labor.

In a statement released by Prospect Park  – the production company behind the two soap operas – they said the shows would begin a long-planned hiatus, citing a dispute with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.


The statement reads: “As a result of a dispute with the IATSE, The OnLine Network is beginning a long-planned hiatus for both All My Children and One Life to Live tomorrow instead of June 17. The hiatus is scheduled to end on Aug. 12 pending resolution of this labor issue. Right now we have 40 episodes of each show ready to post through September, and if we can resolve this issue by August, we can get back into the studio on time so audiences will enjoy uninterrupted postings of their favorite shows.

“We believe we have met all contract requirements with IATSE, and as an internet start-up, and per our contract with the IA, we cannot afford, and our business model cannot sustain, traditional broadcast rates.

“The writers, directors, actors and rest of crew have been supportive of the shows and our success. Both One Life to Live and All My Children consistently earn top rankings on both Hulu and iTunes since launch just over a month ago. The popularity of the shows is matched by the continued passion and excitement from the fans. We are committed to these shows, and to the nearly 300 jobs they produce, thus we are exploring every legal and logistical option to maintain our production schedule.”

Prospect Park picked up both All My Children and One Life to Live for The Online Network after they were dropped by ABC in September 2011 and January 2012, respectively. The company began broadcasting four episodes a week, but decided to cut back to just two episodes per week for each show.
