"OLTL" Actress Hillary B. Smith 'Sad' For The Fans After Soap's Cancellation
Jan. 23, 2012


Hillary B. Smith, or Nora to the loyal fans of "One Life to Live", is moving on to "The Bold And The Beautiful", but she's not done reflecting on her time with the long-running beloved soap.

"I was nervous and concerned about it at first, so it took awhile for a deal to be hammered out," Smith told TVLine about the proposed Prospect Park online revival. "And then when it all went away I was so sad. I was sad for the fans, that they had it cancelled again on them -- that's the hard part."





Smith told TVLine there was a lot of shuffling behind the scenes as the plans kept changing.

"They had an ending in mind and then Prospect Park bought the rights and they changed a lot of the ending so that it could continue ... So, that was very difficult and was probably really hard for [headwriter] Ron [Carlivati].

And then when the rug got pulled out again, they had from Thanksgiving until it aired in January to move things around and try to get some sort of closure," she said.

Well, I'm glad they got the closure. It was needed. I saw her coming out of the studio during the last week of filming. She told me she was ready to go home and get to her kids. She was out of it. I don't blame her either. She was pretty cool.

Very sad to see the end of an era. Hopefully they hurry and release several best of dvd's of the show.

That would be a great thing if they did. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I hope they can somehow revive it one day though I am not holding my breath. The crossovers to GH seem to be all we will get, of course that show will probably not last forever either.

All that shuffling backfired on ABC now that The Revolution could be getting cancelled.
