On Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, ABC's "General Hospital" will air a repeat of its April 2, 2013 50th Anniversary episode. CBS' "The Bold And The Beautiful" and "The Young And The Restless" will air new episodes. NBC's "Days Our Lives" will not be seen, due to the French Tennis Open.

Prospect Park says that "The terms of the F/X Canada deal stipulated a five day run. Now that the shows have been reduced, the agreement is no longer valid. However, the great news is that Canadian viewers can now access the shows via iTunes Canada."

TOLN now has a YouTube Channel where you can see the premiere episodes of both AMC & OLTL.

Beginning on Monday, May 20, 2 new episodes of OLTL and AMC will air each week instead of 4. AMC will air on Mondays and Wednesdays and OLTL on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus a single behind-the-scenes show on Fridays.

The Online Network is delivering four new half-hour episodes of AMC & OLTL Monday - Thursday. They will be available free on Hulu.com at 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT for 10 days. On Fridays, they'll offer an original weekly Recap Show with behind-the-scenes footage, catching you up on the best moments of the week, one-one-one interviews with the stars, and lifestyle segments with the cast of both shows.

Prospect Park has filed a $25 million breach of contract lawsuit against ABC, claiming that the network has violated the licensing agreement it forged with PP two years ago and has been sabotaging the company's attempt to relaunch AMC and OLTL online. PP claims that ABC has actively caused problems, including refusing to transfer the website addresses for the shows and failing to consult on storylines. Read the full complaint here. ABC has responded that it remains very supportive of the online launch of both OLTL and AMC. "With respect to Prospect Park’s lawsuit, we believe the claims are baseless, and we will defend them vigorously in court and not the press.”

The Smithsonian Institute has partnered with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) to bring some of the most iconic daytime television memorabilia to the national museum, such as costumes, props, scripts, awards, and much more!
