Primetime Soap Opera In Development For Fox Revolving Around NYC Restaurant Biz Entitled HUNGRY!
Courtesy/LA Times
Speak no more primetime execs that the art of the soap and the genre is dead, when apparently all major networks and cable outlets are clearly looking to air more soapy drama after the smash success of season one of Fox’s Empire.
And on that note, comes news Tuesday from Variety, that Fox has another soap opera in development centering around the New York City restaurant business entitled, Hungry! Marti Noxon, who is having much success of late with her other projects, UnReal for Lifetime which features former One Life to Live star Josh Kelly, and Bravo’s Girlfriend’ Guide to Divorce, is on board to be the pilot’s executive producer along with Meryl Poster from a script written by Nina Colman.
The concept of the story is that it’s an hourlong soap set in the down and dirty, cutthroat and exciting restaurant world of New York City. The series centers on a young, aspiring chef who lands the thankless job as a line cook for one of Manhattan’s most famous — and infamous — culinary stars. For those who may also know Noxon from her other primetime projects, you may recall Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel, where she got her start. Marti is also serving as the executive producer for the upcoming CBS drama Code Black debuting in September.
What do you think about the latest story concept for a primetime soap, Hungry? Who would you like to see star in it? Comment below!

OMG! Enough with the prime time soaps, bring back daytime soaps!
All soaps are Primetime. I haven’t watched a soap in the daytime since 1985. DVR’s are Great. Y
I would like to make a suggestion. I don’t know if you actually read the comments people leave but, if I May plant a seed for actor Matthew Atkinson. I believe that he can play any part you put in front of him. He just got through with a part from Young and the Restless back in March. Their Loss can be your gain. I say get a hold of his agent and book him.
I would love to see YR star Sharon Case and former YR star Michael Muhney.
Matthew Atkinson can really use a meaty role. Something that he can sink his acting chops into if U know what I mean. He’s a great actor he just needs a really good break.
Repost: I would love to see Sharon Case, Jessica Collins and Michael Muhney on
This soap!!
Hungry? Sounds as dumb as The Chew for worse show title…im starving for more soaps but this wont fill me up…how about instead we call it DINERMITE!!! and have Jimmie Walker star…lol
Well since the success of Empire I knew it would just be a matter of time before each network would develop their own night time soap revolving around a business /industry. I was right.
Maybe JPL should get a role on this show instead of playing Philip on Days!
Days Of Our Lives
Alison Sweeney Reveals She Is Making A Return To DAYS In 2020
Looks like Sami Brady will be back in action on NBC’s Days of our Lives later in the New Year, according to Alison Sweeney, Sami’s portrayer.
During a visit on Friday to the set of Hallmark Channel’s morning talker Home & Family, to promote her upcoming holiday film for the network entitled, Time For You To Come Home For Christmas, Sweeney chatted it up with hosts Cameron Mathison and Debbie Matenopoulos.
During her segment, Alison revealed “Sami is back, causing some trouble.” But she was quick to note that it will be awhile before she is seen on-air clarifying “My scenes are not going to air until next Summer, next August.”
Sweeney promised the viewers and DAYS fans that there was great stuff coming up with her visit. And if Sweeney’s last few returns are any indication, whatever is cooking in and out of Salem that may bring her back on to the canvas, we know it will be juicy, because when Sami is around the pot gets stirred!
So, excited to hear Alison will be back on your DAYS screens in 2020? Comment below.
General Hospital
Paging Dr. Griffin Munro! Matt Cohen Makes A Return Visit To GH
Looks like a medical crisis will bring Matt Cohen (Griffin Munro) back to General Hospital today on Friday’s episode and next week on upcoming episodes of the ABC daytime drama series.
In addition, we wonder if Cohen might appear in scenes with Maura West, who’s Ava Jerome is checked into Shadybrook trying to deal with her emotional state, which unbeknownst to her is being caused by Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma).
As GH fans know, Cohen first came on to the GH scene back in 2016, but departed the series earlier in 2019.
Meanwhile, Matt has landed a gig on Entertainment Tonight as one of their correspondents and anchors while continuing to do directing, and acting projects.
What will bring Griffin back to Port Charles? Happy to see Matt again on GH? Comment below.
