From the June 13th Soap Opera Digest:

SOAP STARS IN PRIME-TIME
     Meanwhile, here's the rundown on current and former soap faves who are set to turn up on prime-time this season.
     As previously reported, the Aaron Spelling sudser TITANS, featuring Victoria Principal (ex-Pam, DALLAS), Casper Van Dien (ex-Ty, OLTL; ex-Griffin, 90210) and Yasmine Bleeth (ex-Ryan, RYAN'S HOPE; ex-Lee Ann, OLTL), will air on NBC on Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
     Steven Weber's (ex-Kevin, ATWT) sitcom also airs on NBC, Thursdays at 8:30 following FRIENDS. The name has been changed from CURSED to THE STEVEN WEBER SHOW.
     MP/90210 creator Darren Star has two shows on the fall schedule: GROSSE POINT, a sitcom widely rumored to be based on 90210, will air on the WB on Fridays at 8:30, while the drama THE $TREET following the lives of a group of young stock traders, airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. on Fox.
     Rena Sofer's (ex-Eve, MP; ex-Lois, GH; ex-Rocky, LOVING) one-hour pilot, NEWS FROM THE EDGE, has been picked up by NBC as a mid-season replacement, as has Steve Burton's (ex-Jason, GH) one-hour ensemble drama SEMPER FI, executive-produced by Steven Spielberg. Tammy Townsend (ex-Wendy, DAYS) is also in the cast. CELEBRITY, featuring Shemar Moore (Malcolm, Y&R) and Lisa Ann Hadley (soon-to-be-ex-June, PC) has been picked up by Fox as a mid-season replacement.
     In other prime-time news, FELICITY and POPULAR have been renewed by the WB.


Better mid-season replacement than not at all. Rob Estes' and Lisa Rinna's pilots didn't get picked up.
