CBS All Access, the CBS digital subscription video on-demand and live streaming service, has announced the second season renewal of its first original drama series, The Good Fight, for early 2018. The Good Fight is produced by CBS Television Studios.

"We're only a few episodes into the first season and the reaction from CBS All Access subscribers and critics alike has been phenomenal," said Marc DeBevoise, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive. "This series and its characters are just beginning and we can't wait to see where Robert and Michelle King, their creative team and the amazing cast take The Good Fight next."

The first season of The Good Fight is now available to stream on CBS All Access with new episodes available on Sundays.

The Good Fight picks up one year after the events of the final broadcast episode of The Good Fight. In The Good Fight, an enormous financial scam has destroyed the reputation of a young lawyer, Maia Rindell, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor and godmother Diane Lockhart's savings. Forced out of Lockhart & Lee, they join Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago's pre-eminent law firms.

The series, from The Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King, stars Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Delroy Lindo, Erica Tazel, Sarah Steele and Justin Bartha.

Robert and Michelle King serve as showrunners and executive producers of the series, which they co-created with Phil Alden Robinson. Phil Alden Robinson also co-wrote and executive produced the premiere episode with the Kings. Ridley Scott, David Zucker, Liz Glotzer, Brooke Kennedy and Alison Cross also serve as executive producers. The series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Scott Free Productions and King Size Productions. The series is distributed worldwide by CBS Studios International.

The Good Fight is available exclusively on the CBS All Access digital subscription service and accessible online at CBS.com, on mobile devices via the CBS App for iOS, Android and Windows 10, and on Roku Players, Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation4 and Fire TV.

In addition to The Good Fight, CBS All Access gives subscribers the ability to stream their local CBS station live, including sporting events like the NFL ON CBS, and watch more than 8,500 episodes on demand - spanning current shows from CBS Television's primetime, daytime and late night line up, as well as past seasons of select series and classic TV hits.

"All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut."
― Anne Brontë in "Agnes Grey"

"Today in Soap Opera History" is a collection of the most memorable, interesting and influential events in the history of scripted, serialized programs. From birthdays and anniversaries to scandals and controversies, every day this column celebrates the soap opera in American culture.

On this date in...

1955: On Valiant Lady, Mickey wanted an explanation from Bonny.

1955: On The Inner Flame, Portia's former law partner offered her bail money for Walter.

1955: On the Brighter Days, Charlie Garrett told Reverend Dennis how the Garrett Bakery was losing business as a result of Ralston's murder.

Joseph Mascolo starred in WTHI as Ed Lucas,
Vicky's father, who ran the Starlight Restaurant.
1973: CBS aired the final episode of daytime soap opera Where the Heart Is. WTHI debuted in September 1969 and ran through March 1973. Lou Scofield and Margaret DePriest created the series and before the end of its run it was being head written by Claire Labine and Paul Avila Mayer. Set in the fictional town of Northcross, Connecticut, Where the Heart Is focused on the sexual and psychological intrigues of the dysfunctional Hathaway family. James Mitchell played one of the three Hathaway children, Julian, who was professor of literature at the local university. Diana van der Vlis and Louise Shaffer played his sisters when the show debuted.

WTHI had a Nielsen rating of 6.8 at the time, or around five million viewers (that would make it No. 1 today). The show supposedly didn't have the type of audience (in terms of age and income) that sponsors preferred.

LIAMST's Leon Russom (Joey Taylor) and
Andrea Marcovicci (Dr. Betsy Taylor).
1973: CBS aired the final episode of Love is a Many Splendored Thing, which had run since September 18, 1967. Linda Fidler Wendell had taken over as executive producer in January 1973. She was the first woman on a daytime serial to start as a production assistant, the lowest step of the ladder on the production staff, and rise to the top producer.

The show, based on the best-selling novel of the same name, originally featured an interracial theme and the initial cast consisted of Nancy Hseuh as Mia Elliott, Len Wayland as Phil Elliott, Grace Albertson as Helen Elliott, and Sam Wade as Mark Elliot. Also, Robert Burr (Tom Donnelly), Judson Laire (Dr. Will Donnelly), Leslie Charleson (Iris Donnelly), Donna Mills (Laura Donnelly), Shawn Campbell (Ricky Donnelly), Nicholas Pryor (Paul Bradley), and Robert Milli (Dr. Jim Abbott).

After a half year, Nancy Hsueh was let go and the interracial theme dropped. The final cast consisted of: Vincent Baggetta (Dr. Peter Chernak), Shawn Campbell, Bibi Besch (Iris Garrison), Diana Douglas (Lili Chernak Donnelly), Barbara Stanger (Laura Elliott), Tom Fuccello (Mark Elliott), Gloria Hoye (Helen Donnelly), Leon Russom (Joe Taylor), Andrea Marcovicci (Dr. Betsy Taylor), Brett Halsey (Spencer Garrison), Suzie Kaye Stone (Angel Chernak), Albert Stratton (Tom Donnelly), Judson Laire, Betty Miller (Mrs. Taylor), Ron Hale (Dr. James Abbott) and Joan McMonagle (Holly McAllistair).

1977: On Another World, Sharlene Frame Matthews left Bay City in the final episode for actress Laurie Heineman. The character of Sharlene would return in June 1988 played by Anna Holbrook. Both actresses won a Daytime Emmy Award for their work in the role.

1979: On Dallas, a drunken Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) fell down the Southfork stairs but neither she nor her unborn child were hurt. J.R. (Larry Hagman), realizing he could no longer ignore his wife's alcoholism, had her committed to a sanitarium. Lucy (Charlene Tilton) was taking drugs, but Bobby (Patrick Duffy) persuaded her to stop.



1983: On General Hospital, Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) ended her relationship with Dr. David Arlin (Kale Browne) after getting a lecture from Ruby.



1987:The Bold and the Beautiful, created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, premiered on CBS. The show replaced Capitol in the CBS daytime lineup.







1987:As the World Turns moved to the 2 p.m. ET time slot where it would stay until it ended its run in 2010.

2004: On All My Children, after drugging Babe, staging a helicopter crash and telling her that her baby died, Paul Cramer (David Tom) gave Babe's son to Kelly (Heather Tom), while leaving Bianca's daughter behind.



2004: On One Life to Live, after receiving the baby boy from Paul, Kelly left Pine Valley and headed back to Llanview and introduced him to Dorian and Todd. (Promo clip here sent in by Heather.)

Thanks to Enrique for sending in the two items above.

2010: On One Life to Live, Destiny (Shenell Edmonds) and Dani (Kelley Missal) both sang "The Climb" at the "Starr X'd Lovers" auditions.



2011: Elizabeth Taylor, who made guest appearances in both General Hospital and All My Children, died at age 79.

Jean Rouverol wrote for daytime soap operas Bright Promise, Guiding Light,
As the World Turns and Search for Tomorrow during her career.
Jean Rouverol, an actress and former soap opera writer blacklisted in Hollywood during the 1950s, died Friday, March 24 in a nursing home in Wingdale, New York. She was 100.

Rouverol and her husband, screenwriter Hugo Butler, fled to Mexico during the 1950s following a subpoena to appear before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The couple had joined the American Communist Party during the 1940s.

While living in exile with their four children, the couple collaborated on screenplays using pseudonyms and fronts that were then sold to Hollywood studios. Films they wrote together included the 1956 Joan Crawford drama Autumn Leaves, credited to colleague Jack Jevne, and the 1963 film, Face in the Rain, directed by Irvin Kershner. While in Mexico the couple had two more children.

They returned to the U.S. in 1964. Following Butler’s death in 1968, Rouverol wrote for television.

Rouverol joined the writing staff of NBC soap opera Bright Promise in 1970. She later moved to CBS'Guiding Light, where she won a Writers Guild of America Award in 1980, to go along with Daytime Emmy nominations in 1976 and 1978. She also wrote for daytime dramas Search for Tomorrow and As the World Turns.

Born July 8, 1916, in St. Louis, her mother was playwright Auriana Rouverol, who created the character of Andy Hardy, who was portrayed by Mickey Rooney in a series of popular MGM films.

She made her film debut as W. C. Fields’ daughter in the comedy It’s a Gift (1934). She appeared in small roles in films like Private Lives (1935) with Claudette Colbert and Stage Door (1937) with Katharine Hepburn. She was also featured on the radio soap opera One Man's Family.

Among her writing credits is Little House on the Prairie. She is credited with writing the story for an episode of the primetime drama.

In 1987 she received the Morgan Cox Award from the Writers Guild of America in honor of her “vital ideas, continuing efforts and personal sacrifice.”

She wrote “Refugees from Hollywood: A Journal of the Blacklist Years,” published in 2000.

In her later years she lived with actor Cliff Carpenter, who had also been blacklisted. He died in 2014 at the age of 98.
