Cast
Production and broadcast
Blangiardo created Tainted Dreams after the cancellation of the long running daytime soap opera One Life to Live, where she was a producer. She said in 2013, "I was struck by the loss of this unique art form that had been such an integral part of NYC for decades. I wanted to somehow capture my own two decades working behind the scenes of three different NYC-based soaps."
First cast were Minshew, Lowry, Willey, Hensley and Schulenburg. In January 2013, Manzo of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey was cast as Alessandra DiGiacomo, a role written with her in mind. Later cast additions in 2013 included Peck, Zenk, Aleksander, Livingston, Malloy, Eakes, and DePaiva, Kristen and Walker.
The first three episodes of Tainted Dreams were released on YouTube on December 30, 2013.
Tainted Dreams was licensed to Amazon.com for streaming through its Amazon Prime service starting December 26, 2016.
Reception and awards
Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Alina Adams named the series one of the "4 best soap operas on the web" in 2015.
