Monday. Washburn: 704-358-5007 WASHBURN from 1E Faubion Spear By Eric Deggans Tampa Bay Times For years, Patti Werynski has kept the flame alive for soap opera fans from her Lar- go, home, organizing meet-ups with stars, even as TV networks canceled sever- al of the daytime programs and critics proclaimed the genre all but dead. After years of wrangling, the classic soaps Life to and My Chil- are online, saved from cancellation in a bold experiment with new tech- nology. Werynski, 60, is wary. She has heard how the new shows are just 30 minutes long, a little spicier and available for download on iTunes or streaming at Hu- lu.com.

She worries the old- er fans might feel left out. Such talk might surprise the folks at Prospect Park, a production company that has spent millions of dollars and years in negotiations to reach this moment.

But ev- ery good soap always has a return-from-the-dead twist.

Each new episode bows at 5 a.m. Monday to Thurs- day, with Friday reserved for a recap episode. Barbara Irwin, a profes- sor of communication stud- ies at Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y., said she ex- pects soaps to transition to online in the same way they moved from radio to televi- sion 60 years earlier. might be a way to build a new audience, which is something the soaps have struggled Irwin said.
