Reading this article two years later where Prospect was successful in getting the soap operas back to the world, shows that what was predicted followed through. Not many of the ending cast memebers were able to join the reboot do to the cuts in salaries that were necessary to restart the show on the web, and some actors had moved on to other projects. Some of the ending cast had only come back to the show because it was saying goodbye to its TV run and weren't planning on ever returning if the show continued on to the web. Its weird to think their really was a period of time where the idea of the web reboot was declare dead forever, because it is now on the web today. It took a lot of work to get there and the structure of the show has going through many changes since its web launch this past spring. Just in the fact that the show ended in November of 2010 and three years later the show sets up to being five years later from where they last left off. The characters vital to the cliff hanger the show was left in 2010 were recast if the original tv ending actor couldn't join the reboot, killed off, or moved away to someday come back to the show. this show has been on a very interesting journey filled with drama and will continue to have drama as is the nature of soap operas.
