Dropping The Soap

The cast and crew of long-running soap opera 'Collided Lives' panics when they find out their executive producer is being replaced by a shark in a business suit: Olivia Vanderstein.

Olivia Vanderstein goes on a firing spree. Reeling, Julian Draker, longtime star of 'Collided Lives', goes to bat for his on-screen wife, Shea Buttersfield, and faces off with his cast-mate and arch nemesis, Kit Knockers.

A hot, younger male cast member is hired as "eye candy," while Julian must lend his talents to Olivia's latest brainchild, an awkward commercial campaign for his new signature body spray.

Olivia feels the show needs ethnicity, so she hires an Iraqi actor, Raheem, to join the cast. Kit drops a bomb on Julian.

Olivia's new tactic to modernize the show sends the cast into a tailspin. Julian decides his romance with cast-mate Shea Buttersfield should go to the next level.

The off-screen war between Julian and Kit heats up as Julian enlists the help of Kit's twin brother, the head writer on the show. Julian and Shea are surprised when a friend from Julian's past shows up.

Olivia encourages (forces) the cast to attend her latest creation, "Drama-Con", the Comic-Con for soap fans.

A beautiful new cast member is brought in, much to Kit's chagrin. The show receives surprisingly good news, as Julian scrambles to untangle his personal life.

Julian's star power is threatened when Olivia hires a popular rival soap star to join the cast of 'Collided Lives'. Secret romance blooms.

Tensions erupt as Kit and Julian's rivalry reaches a boiling point, and the cast discovers Olivia is going to have them interviewed live on television, where anything could happen.
