The show, which airs over 21 hours weekly on UP's schedule, was due to run in six-hour marathon block tonight. Instead, the network will run a Supernanny marathon beginning at 5 p.m.. Beginning tomorrow Touched By An Angel will run in the show's regularly-scheduled weekday noon timeslot, while The Parkers will replace the series during its 1 p.m. ot 5 p.m. time slot on Saturdays, said the network.

 "As a top family-friendly network, we are deeply concerned for the families that are potentially affected by these disturbing allegations surrounding actor Stephen Collins," said Charley Humbard, president & CEO of  UP.  "‘7th Heaven’ has been a beloved family show and a fan-favorite on our network. We have made the decision to remove the series from our schedule effective at 5 p.m. ET today.  We will continue to monitor the situation and listen carefully to our viewers."

UP network has tapped 1980s pop music singer/actress Debbie Gibson to star and perform in a new network original movie The Music In Me, the network announced Tuesday.

Gibson (Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark, 3 Billion and Counting) will star with Gloria Reuben (Lincoln, E.R.) in the series, which follows a small town girl who had given up her dreams of musically performing only to rediscover her joy of singing/songwriting as an adult through her work with a failing church choir. Gibson has written and performs the film’s original song, “Promises,” said network officials.

The network has begun production on the movie, will premiere in early 2915, according to UP officials.

“The Music In Me is a terrific story about a woman dusting off a dream, not knowing that this musical journey she embarks on with a broken choir will lead to all sorts of joy in her life,” said Barbara Fisher, senior vice president of original programming for UP.  “We are thrilled to have the multi-talented, award-winning, world record-setting Debbie Gibson as the lead, joined by actress/singer/social activist Gloria Ruben, who was once a backup singer for Tina Turner.”
