For gay folks who miss their soaps

Fans missing the campy drama of daytime television can now get their “soap” fix online. New online-only versions of beloved ABC soap operas “All My Children” (cancelled in September 2011) and “One Life to Live” (cancelled in January 2012) debuted April 29. New 30-minute episodes come out every weekday, thanks to Prospect Park’s The Online Network, and can be streamed online via Hulu, Hulu Plus and iTunes. You can also search for them on Facebook.
