Rinna Talks Soaps for SoapNet

LOS ANGELES - SoapNet, cable's 24-hour soap channel, has announced its second original series.

"SoapTalk" will join "SoapCenter" on June 10. The lifestyle-themed talk show will feature what's new in daytime television and feature guests who range from soap opera experts, to costume designers, to the stars themselves.

The series will be hosted by Lisa Rinna, who hit the soap scene in 1992 as Billie Reed on "Days of Our Lives" before moving on to the primetime drama "Melrose Place," and Ty Treadway, who played Dr. Colin MacIver on "One Life to Live" in 2001.

"A successful talk show starts with a fabulous host," says Deborah Blackwell, SoapNet's general manager. "When the idea for the talk show came up, we remembered how smart, funny and personable Lisa was when she co-hosted with Regis."

"Ty, with his quick wit and sense of humor, is her perfect complement. They have great chemistry together."


I'd bet Lisa would rather be co-hosting with Regis on national televison than with Ty on an obscure cable channel. But it does give her a forum to talk about her children incessantly à la Kathie Lee.
