GSN´s Documentary Series ANYTHING TO WIN Features the Fiercely Competitive World of the Daytime Soap Operas
On Sunday, April 16, GSN, the network for games presents ANYTHING TO WIN: SOAP OPERAS WARS. The signature documentary series, which looks at some of the most interesting competitions of all time, airs weekly on Sundays from 8:00 - 9:00 PM, EST.
Soap operas are legendary for going to extremes and creating the most outlandish storylines with their characters, doing anything from afflicting them with amnesia to bringing them back from the dead. This is never more evident than during "Sweeps" when, in an effort to boost ratings, soap producers pull out all the stops. ANYTHING TO WIN gives viewers a glimpse into this competitive world, focusing specifically on a ground breaking stunt orchestrated by the producers and writers of DAYS OF OUR LIVES where they unleashed a serial killer on to the town of Salem and, when it was all over, half of the beloved cast was dead.
"Soap operas are misunderstood and underappreciated. As any actor who has joined a soap after doing prime time or films will tell you, there isn´t a more demanding job in the business. Daytime is filled with talented performers whose fans are fiercely loyal, and storylines that are complicated and compelling. It´s no wonder so many prime time shows draw talent and plots from the genre," said Stephanie Sloane, Editor of SOAP OPERA DIGEST.
