There's no citation, and his Wikipedia page has some crud on it. At the very bottom of the page someone's tagged "HE IS ALSO GOING TO BE IN THE MOVIE NINE BY TIM BURTON!" Not exactly Wikipedia format.

IMDb has nothing about Elijah doing TV in the near future.

Remember, anyone can edit Wikipedia, and not all errors or vandalism are caught right away. This soap opera thing will probably be scrubbed soon.
