Schuyler Falls , a new online serial that premiered November 12th, 1997 at
http://members.aol.com/skyfalls1, brings the romance, mystery, humor, passion,
pathos, and addictive nature of TV soaps to the Web.
We love daytime drama, and see “Schuyler Falls” as a way to impart the best
aspects of the genre--rich characterization, suspenseful storylines and
intertwined relationships--to an online audience. And the site includes
photos of soap actors who would be perfectly "cast" in these roles, many of
which have been written with these particular actors in mind. Some of the many
actors whose pictures we use to help our audience visualize the characters
include:
Jensen Ackles - Eric Brady, DOOL
John Aniston - ex-Victor Kiriakis, DOOL
Matt Ashford - ex-Tom, GH; ex-Jack Devereaux, DOOL
Joe Barbara - Joe Carlino, AW
Jordana Brewster - Nikki, ATWT
Crystal Chappell - ex-Maggie, OLTL; ex-Carly Manning, DOOL
Alicia Coppola - ex-Lorna Devon, AW
Eileen Davidson - Kristen/Susan et al, DOOL
Carmen Duncan - ex-Iris Wheeler, AW
Timothy Gibbs - Gary, AW
Staci Greason - ex-Isabella, DOOL
Will Kempe - Ian, OLTL
Wally Kurth - Ned, GH (also ex-Justin, DOOL)
Debbi Morgan - Ellen, PC
Colleen Zenk Pinter - Barbara, ATWT
And many more!
Starting with a murder mystery that rips apart the small fictional town of
Schuyler Falls, the plot branches off into different, interwoven storylines.
An increasing complaint among soap viewers is that television soaps don't
utilize their characters' past histories, but in “Schuyler Falls,” nearly every
character has an in-depth history, a veritable treasure trove in which the
writers will dig for future plots.
One of the quirks of the genre is that soap settings seem to mutate and warp
before our very eyes. Most daytime drama fans know the frustration of trying
to figure out why a waterfront is accessible to every character within five
minutes of leaving either an airport or a forest cabin! The setting of
“Schuyler Falls” is well defined and detailed. The audience can view the
town's history and layout with a clickable map and descriptions of local
landmarks.
Above all, its writing makes “Schuyler Falls” stand out in a crowded field.
The production staff consists of experienced fiction writers and knowledgeable
admirers of the genre who have poured their hearts and talent into creating a
unique web serial. We invite everyone to join them as the tapestry that is
“Schuyler Falls” is woven, episode by episode.
