“ONE LIFE TO LIVE” REBEL REX BALSOM MEETS “GENERAL HOSPITAL” MINX MAXIE JONES IN A NEW WEBISODE OF “WHAT IF” AIRING THE WEEK OF AUGUST 16 ON ABC.COM

(“Learning to Fly”) – In the eighth installment of ABC Daytime’s new series, “What If,” “General Hospital’s” Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and “One Life to Live’s” Rex Balsom (John-Paul Lavoisier) debate the pros and cons of young love, while suddenly faced with their own mortality. The new episode airs the week of AUGUST 16th on ABC.com and SOAPnet.com.

The “What If” series answers the question, “What would happen if two characters from different soaps ran into each other and what would they say?” In the 10-part series, viewers will see well-known characters from “All My Children,” “One Life to Live” and “General Hospital” interact with one another, and will be privy to their conversations. The webisodes will be derivative of the characters and their unique past, but are not related to current storylines. “One Life to Live’s” executive producer, Frank Valentini, directed the series.

Preview clips will be available on abcmedianet.com on Wednesday, August 18th.

Annually producing over 1000 hours of original programming, ABC Daytime consists of “The View,” “All My Children,” “One Life to Live” and “General Hospital,” and consistently ranks as one of the top lineups among the key demographic of Women 18-49.
