Great news out of Soap Opera Digest today. Looks like there will finally be some movement in the Matthew Buchanan storyline involving Destiny and his loved ones, when Eddie Alderson returns to work this week at One Life to Live to tape new episodes!
Alderson told SOD at the recent Daytime Stars and Strikes for the American Cancer Society Event, “[Matthew] misses Llanview. He misses being awake and being able to talk!” Look for Alderson’s scenes to air sometime in November. Just in time for the big sweeps ratings period, we hope!

British Soap ‘Coronation Street’ Set To Resume Production Next Week Following COVID-19 Shutdown
Will American soaps soon follow the Brits, and be able to start up your favorite soap towns again? While production entities await for guidelines from the state of California and the city of Los Angeles, across the bond, ITV’s Coronation Street has set next Tuesday, June 9th to begin filming new episodes of the popular drama.
Coronation Street had been on 10-week mandatory shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping our globe. The return to start up the show keeps the soap on-air throughout July and then ongoing. There will be three episodes filmed each week at their studios in Manchester.
Along with ITV’s Emmerdale, and other programs, Coronation Street is returning to production under the UK’s guidelines and safety protocols for COVID-19.
According to Deadline that will include: crew members designated to a specific studio or exterior lot … social distancing will be observed … cast and crew will have daily temperature checks, while older and more vulnerable members of the team won’t be part of the new episodes during the initial period of filming.
In a statement, John Whiston, ITV’s managing director of continuing drama, said: “Getting to this point has taken a huge amount of work and goodwill from a huge number of people, not least our cast and crew. With the peak past, all indications are that the time is right for a return to filming. And with the extensive protocols we have put in place, we have made our workplace as safe as possible. I’m sure our audience will appreciate having the show they love continue on air. For many who have written in it is a vital escape from all the fears and stresses this virus brings in its wake.”

finally!! can’t wait for this s/l to gain some much needed momentum!
It’s about gosh darn time! I miss Matthew and Eddie Alderson.
Excited and can’t wait to see Destiny and Matthew together again! Matthew heard everything going on and will be there for Destiny…overly optimistic maybe?
ehhhh.
I hope they have been giving little Destiny acting lessons in the interim.
OMG, i’m glad he’s back but the girl that plays Destiny is painful to watch. She’s as good as the boy who plays Jack! Ugh.
No anybody is better than Jack.
The actor who plays Jack is a disgusting excuse for an actor! Every emotion he is supposed to have shows up as the same pursed look on his face, whether it is sad, happy, jealous, angry, etc. It is always that same LAME look. He is a terrible actor.
whatever u need to grow up
That little whipper-snapper better wake up! 🙂
So glad to hear that Matthew is going to finally wake up!!
Soooo HAPPY to know that we will be seeing Matthew on OLTL again soon !! Yay !!We need Matt to wake up & return to Llanview to be with Destiny, Nora, & Bo.
It’s nice Eddie is returning. Could he please bring Trevor St. John and Robin Strasser?
good !!! ,but we need TREVOR ST JOHN
FINALLY!! Thank you, it’s about time. So glad Eddie will be back.
It’s good that Eddie is comming back as Matthew,I can’t wait the look on Destiny face when she see Matthew wakes up,and I hope she tells Matthew she pregnant with his baby.Then,I like to see how Matthew reacted,and Matthew go face to face with Nate
ofcourse she is pregnant he will beable to see that without her having to tell him don’t u think
