SOAPnet's BEING ERICA Debuts Feb. 19

SOAPnet is adding more original series to its slate and will premiere BEING ERICA on Thursday, February 19, 2009. A total of 13 one-hour scripted episodes will air on Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The series, produced by Temple Street Productions in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, follows the life of single, funny and sexy 32-year-old Erica Strange who, during each episode, goes back in time and relives various events from her past that caused regret and attempts to fix them.

We all have regrets, we've all made mistakes. Imagine if you could actually go back in time and correct them? Erica Strange can. BEING ERICA delves into the quirky life of Erica Strange, a highly educated and underachieving single woman who struggles to understand why her life is heading nowhere. She's made years of bad decisions and has a list of regrets. As a result, her life is at a standstill. Enter Dr. Tom, a mysterious man who is part therapist and part rogue. In each episode, Dr. Tom launches Erica back in time to a specific regret from her past, giving her the opportunity to re-live and even alter her past choices in the hopes of changing her present. The show stars newcomer Erin Karpluk (Erica), Michael Riley (Dr. Tom) and Tyron Leitso (Ethan).

The one-hour series, created by Emmy-Award winning writer Jana Sinyor, is executive-produced by Sinyor, Aaron Martin, Ivan Schneeberg and David Fortier, and is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

BEING ERICA joins the recently announced series of original programs, GREG BEHRENDT'S WAKE-UP CALL, currently airing on Thursdays at 10:00 p.m., and SOUTHERN BELLES, premiering in summer 2009 on SOAPnet.

  2. Wouldn't it be cheaper for SoapNet to bring the AW repeats back instead airing this?

  3. At the time they took off AW, I believe they said it had bad ratings and P&G was asking too much for the show if it was renewed.

    But as a fan, I would much rather see a classic soap like AW.
