Prospect Park initially intended for ''All My Children'' to begin its run on the internet on September 26, 2011,<ref name="AMC" /> but ran into challenges. One challenge cited was a need to negotiate a new [[Collective bargaining|contract]] with the [[Trade union|union]] representing the actors of ''All My Children''.<ref name="transition delayed 1">{{cite web|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|url=https://deadline.com/2011/07/prospect-park-grapples-with-gild-union-issues-as-it-tries-to-keep-abc-soaps-alive-149809/|title=Prospect Park Deals With Guild/Union Issues As It Eyes Q1 2012 Relaunch Of ABC Soaps|website=Deadline Hollywood|date=July 25, 2011|access-date=2013-12-04|archive-date=May 20, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140520104848/http://www.deadline.com/2011/07/prospect-park-grapples-with-gild-union-issues-as-it-tries-to-keep-abc-soaps-alive/|url-status=live}}</ref> On September 27, 2011, Prospect Park announced that ''All My Children'' along with its sister soap ''[[One Life to Live]]'' would be relaunched in January 2012 on the company's new internet channel, The Online Network.<ref name="Reuters">{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUS273846887220110928|title=New Episodes of 'All My Children' Will Premiere Online in January|work=Reuters|date=2011-09-28|access-date=2013-12-04|archive-date=November 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151106194402/http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/28/idUS273846887220110928|url-status=live}}</ref> But on November 10, 2011, several sources reported that Prospect Park had indefinitely suspended its plans to relaunch ''All My Children'' and that the company would concentrate solely on the higher-rated ''One Life to Live''.<ref name="Soap in depth">{{cite news|url=http://abc.soapsindepth.com/2011/11/prospect-park-puts-amc-on-hold.html|title=Prospect Park Puts AMC On Hold!|newspaper=ABC Soaps in Depth |publisher=Abc.soapsindepth.com|date=2011-11-10|access-date=2013-12-04|archive-date=March 9, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140309003456/http://abc.soapsindepth.com/2011/11/prospect-park-puts-amc-on-hold.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Variety">{{cite news|url=https://variety.com/2011/digital/news/all-my-children-online-reboot-in-holding-pattern-1118045983/|work=Variety|first=Jon|last=Weisman|title='All My Children' online reboot in holding pattern|date=November 10, 2011|access-date=February 18, 2020|archive-date=April 30, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120430200707/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118045983?refCatId=14|url-status=live}}</ref> Reasons given for this decision were lack of funding coupled with Prospect Park not being able to sign enough cast members from ''All My Children''.<ref name="Soap in depth" /><ref name="Variety" />
