Matthew Labine is an American soap opera writer, the son of Claire Labine and the brother of Eleanor Labine Mancusi.
In spring 1996, Claire Labine was offered the Head Writer role at CBS Daytime's As the World Turns but turned it down because she and Matthew Labine were trying to get Heart And Soul [aka Union Place] on the air. "I had to turn it down because we were in the middle of that development. I said to Procter & Gamble, “I am gratified by this offer, but if I have any chance at all...” I didn’t think there was much chance but I thought it was worth a go to do our own show. And they were very lovely about it.
