Ousted Exec Creating New Soap!
Former GENERAL HOSPITAL executive producer Jill Farren Phelps has teamed up with veteran soap scribe and producer Josh Griffith (ONE LIFE TO LIVE, AS THE WORLD TURNS, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS) to create a new soap opera! Nickelodeon has ordered 80 episodes of REACH FOR A STAR, an adaptation of the popular Mexican telenovela ALCANZAR UNA ESTRELLA, to debut on their Nick At Nite block this summer.
REACH FOR A STAR is a single-camera, daily series that will follow Loren, an average high school senior whose life changes completely upon becoming a star and winning the love of her celebrity crush. Casting is currently underway, with production due to start in March.
