The original series began on September 24, 1951, as a 15-minute daily drama. The series expanded to 30 minutes in 1958.
The series was originally owned by American Home Products and created by Roy Winsor, who also created popular long-running serials Search for Tomorrow and The Secret Storm.
The upcoming podcast revival will be penned by Casey Hutchison and Erik Andrus, with consulting from Paul Sladkus, who served as an associate producer on the television series.
Daytime Confidential reports that the series is set to honor the history and legacy of the established characters while introducing fans to new ones, with production expected to begin in March of next year.
The original series actually ended on a cliffhanger, when Betsy Crawford (Margo McKenna) collapsed after testifying in a trial. The final shot of the series saw longtime director Larry Auerbach walking through the set while Tony Bennett’s ” We’ll Be Together Again played in the background.
Recently, Michael Poirier of We Love Soaps found the resurfaced outlines for what would have happened had the series continued, with fellow historian Mark Faulkner, at the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming.
The outline revealed that Betsy was fine and had collapsed from exhaustion.
Back when the show originally wrapped, Sladkus mentioned having plans for the series for the following six months. Fans will have to wait and see if the revival touches upon any of these abandoned storylines when the series returns next year.
