Looks like everyone is getting onto the webseries bandwagon. Tatyana Ali stars as Quinci in the BET webseries called BUPPIES. This is the first webseries created which features an all African-American cast. Here is the summary of the webseries featured on BET.com:

After losing her father and being dumped by her fiancè, Quinci, the socialite daughter of a Hollywood celebrity, realizes that her friends are her only real family left. This provocative and ironic series chronicles the relationship dramas of Quinci’s dysfunctional but virtually inseparable friends as they navigate the perks and pratfalls faced by LA’s young black power elite.

This is sisters Tatyana and Anastasia's first joint endeavor creating BUPPIES with their production company, HazraH Entertainment, along with Game Theory Films, who hope to bring in a new chapter of African-American storytelling. The rest of the cast featured are:

Ernest Waddell as Shaka

Robin Thede as Priscilla

Preston Davis as Eliot

and

Chante Fierson as Kourtney

ATI has picked up their option to produce the Daytime Emmys next year. Now the process begins to pull things together and make it happen.

Entertainment reporter Nelson Aspen was our guest this week. He offered a lot of historical soap insights, especially on Search for Tomorrow (Mary Stuart was his mentor and close friend). I didn't realize Jennifer Aniston had lost out on the part of TR to Search to Jane Krakowski. He was also one of the writer's assistants at Another World during the 1988 writer's strike and shared some stories about that as well. We cover classic and current and indie. In the latest "Soaps on the Street" segment, we asked New Yorkers if they would watch GH for James Franco.

Kelly's behind-the-scenes lust

They say practice makes perfect. When Mark Consuelos tried out for a permanent role on the ABC soap "All My Children," his behind-closed-doors rehearsals with future wife Kelly Ripa paid off big.

Consuelos, then a novice actor, had a temporary job playing the role of Mateo Santos on the soap back in 1995 when ABC brass decided they wanted to make his character permanent.

But in the revolving-door world of TV soaps, Consuelos couldn't automatically keep the part he'd been playing for months: He had to audition, The Post's Bill Sanderson reports.

It helped that Consuelos was a favorite of the "All My Children" crew, makeup artist Norman Bryn writes in his new book, "Makeup & Misery: Adventures in the Soap Factory."

"Mark had been fairly low-key, quiet and humble as he learned the ropes and hoped he'd eventually be upgraded to full contract status," writes Bryn, who recalls Consuelos as "a nice, unpretentious guy."

"A number of hunky guys were brought in to read with Kelly -- a passionate scene to test the romantic potential of each . . . I applied Mark's makeup, and that of some of the other men, also . . . I didn't go out of my way to make any of the competition particularly striking . . . I wanted to give him whatever advantage I could."

It turned out Consuelos had a bigger edge than anyone knew.

"Mark's real advantage was Kelly . . . She had no trouble calling up genuine lust to steam up the screen and blow the other contestants out of the bed sheets," said Bryn. "Many of the crew marveled at how 'realistic' the scene was, unaware Kelly and Mark had rehearsed outside the studio quite a few times already!"

Consuelos got the job. They eloped in Las Vegas the following year. Both eventually quit the ABC soap as their careers advanced. But in January, Consuelos and Ripa will appear in two episodes of "All My Children" to mark the show's 40th anniversary.
