REALITY SHOW TO USE SOAP-OPERA SETS
Wednesday, July 14 2004

SoapNet, the all-soap-opera cable network, is planning to introduce a one-hour reality series next fall titled I Wanna Be a Soap Star. The series will feature six young actors who will live full-time on the set of ABC's General Hospital, playing "fictional characters by day and themselves by night," in the words of the SoapNet press release. "This is a great format for reality because it is all one big real life soap opera," Eric Schotz, the show's executive producer, said in the statement. "From fight scenes to love scenes, the contestants will be tested both on and off camera around the clock." The winner will land a 13-week contract to appear as a character on General Hospital.
