"Specifically, EJ as Elvis and Nicole as Priscilla were scripted things. And also that Abigail and Melanie have matching, identical costumes. I guess I came up with the French maid.

"Day for night" is a production term for techniques used to create the appearance of night in shots actually taken during the day.
What seems clear is with the industry's business model in flux, everything is in play -- including, potentially, renewed efforts to migrate soaps into the evening. While ABC's SOAPnet is going away and MyNetworkTV's dalliance with English-language-style telenovelas flopped, any genre with an established track record merits consideration -- particularly if it can be mounted inexpensively enough to survive in a heavily fragmented environment.
The main challenge is that soap sensibilities have been co-opted by reality shows that replicate their narrative dynamics, on channels such as Investigation Discovery and A&E. Such programs have done to daytime serials what newsmagazines did to TV movies -- approximating the thrills in less time, for less money.
