What if ABC's three soap operas somehow collided? You'd have a show called All My Children have One Life to Live at General Hospital, naturally. Fans no longer have to wonder the what ifs: ABC has created a series of crossover/ mash-up episodes featuring your favorite soap friends.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Erica Kane and Sonny Corinthos were to cross paths? Could someone like Todd Manning understand Spinelli's technospeak? What if Viki and her alters bumped into Luke Spencer on a crowded street? Well, you're about to find out.

Beginning July 12, special " mash-up " videos of your favorite ABC soap stars will air online and on ABC and SOAPnet. The special series is being called "What If."

"We are always looking for ways to drive deeper viewer engagement with our fans," said Adam Rockmore, Sr. Vice President of Marketing, ABC Daytime and SOAPnet. "These webisodes are a fun way to answer a long-standing fan question about what would happen in a soap-mash-up."

ABC filmed ten different four-minute scripted episodes, each directed by One Life to Live's executive producer, Frank Valentini. The series will run through the remainder of the summer.
