Soapnet
Prior to ABC's cancellations of the former two series in 2011, daily reruns of "All My Children", "One Life to Live" and "General Hospital" aired on the channel in that respective order as they had aired on ABC's daytime schedule. "All My Children" had the most airings on the channel airing four times each weekday, one in the morning and three at night. Rebroadcasts of each soap's episodes for the entire week aired each Saturday and Sunday during the late afternoon and nighttime hours; as of 2012, the network aired the past week's episodes of "Days of our Lives" in Sunday primetime.
Michael Zaslow
Zaslow was hired at "One Life to Live" in 1998 to play David Renaldi again, appearing first in May of that year, his condition being written into the storyline. Zaslow made numerous appearances over the next seven months before he was too ill to continue working; his final appearance on "One Life to Live" was televised December 1, 1998, days before his death. His character was never killed off on the soap opera, which went through a series of writers over a two-year period, none of whom chose to deal with David's illness and Zaslow's death.
