INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY, THE #5 NETWORK FOR W25-54 IN DAYTIME, TURNS UP THE MIDDAY HEAT WITH BELOVED SOAP STARS OF PAST AND PRESENT

-- ID Daytime "Soap" Block Returns on August 25 with "Sinful Secrets Week," Hosted by General Hospital's Lynn Herring and Kin Shriner -

(Silver Spring, Md.) - Sensational stories from daytime soap operas may seem unbelievable, but on Investigation Discovery, truth is always stranger than fiction. Dishing real-life drama that is seemingly pulled right from the plotlines of Port Charles or Pine Valley, Investigation Discovery proves that it's the home for real-life soaps with the return of its ID Daytime programming block. Beginning Monday, August 25 from 1-4 PM daily, adored soap stars from past and present host encores of ID's most scandalous series, such as Wives with Knives, My Dirty Little Secret, Scorned: Love Kills and Evil Twins. Beloved pairs are reunited on screen each week to provide insight into these cautionary tales, including: General Hospital's Lynn Herring and Kin Shriner; Days of our Lives' Mary Beth Evans and Wally Kurth; bad boys Lamon Archey from The Young and the Restless and Darnell Williams from All My Children; and telenovela actress Katie Barberi, Dona Barbara.

The daytime stunt airs in conjunction with ID's evening primetime return of a new season of DEADLY AFFAIRS with Susan Lucci, featuring all-new stories of deadly dalliances on Saturday, August 16 at 10/9c on Investigation Discovery.

"Soap fans are a voracious audience, hungry for emotionally riveting content and devoted to the characters they've grown to love - or, hate," said Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Destination America, American Heroes Channel and Discovery Fit & Health. "As the #5 network for women in daytime*, soap opera fans know that they can always find their 'stories' on Investigation Discovery - the real life tales of passion - and, on occasion, perhaps, a little poison."

Each week will have its own theme and star hosts to introduce the true-life programming, channeling their scandalous soap personalities. The schedule is as follows:

· Sinful Secrets August 25-29: Hosted by Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe, General Hospital) and Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin, General Hospital)

· Lessons in Lust September 2-5: Hosted by Katie Barberi (Cecilia Vergel, Dona Barbara; Ursula Van Pelt, Every Witch Way)

· Poisonous Love September 8-12: Hosted by Mary Beth Evans (Kayla Brady, Days of our Lives) and Wally Kurth (Ned Ashton, General Hospital; Justin Kiriakis, Days of our Lives)

· Evil Enemies September 15-19: Hosted by Lamon Archey (Mason Wilder, The Young and the Restless) and Darnell Williams (Jesse Hubbard, All My Children)

Year to date, Investigation Discovery ranks #5 in Total Day and Daytime for W25-54,* continuing to be #1 in Length of Tune in all of television.**
