Report claims "One Life to Live" will be canceled next year - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Good question. Fuel to this fire was lit by Nelson Branco, who writes a column for the Canadian version of TV Guide, reports Soap Central. His basic thesis is that ABC, between "One Life to Live" and "All My Children" could only save one of those shows, and the one they have chosen to save is "All My Children."

An ABC spokesperson officially said in a statement,“The only upcoming move 'One Life to Live' is making is to the 'All My Children' stage after that series relocates to Los Angeles. This will give 'One Life to Live' more room and increase their production value.”

Well, we shall wait and see. Personally, I think it'll be ATWT or DAYS be the next to get the ax.

Yeah I agree with you.

I haven't heard anything about this? I heard about Days of Our Lives being Cancelled,but not One Life To Live.My Mom used to watch it in the old days.

catlover79 · 12-07-2009, 12:26 PM

Speaking of DAYS, it'll be REALLY interesting to see what happens now that Comcast has bought NBC.

None of the ABC daytime dramas are in danger, they generate big $$ by being repurposed on the Disney/ABC owned SoapNet....the other network dramas they license, and yes "Days" will be axed in 2010, its been decided already but not announced. Leaving a hole in Soapnets nightly schedule but they are also putting more money into original programming.

This would be the second Soap Opera to get Cancelled.

80sTrivia · 12-07-2009, 07:57 PM

It will definitely be sad to see another long-running soap get the ax, but I feel it is inevitable at this point...

So do I. I hope DAYS at least gets to stay on the air through November 8, so it can officially celebrate its 45th anniversary.

Nelson Branco rarely knows what he's talking about. He said that ATWT would be renewed through 2011, so WRONG. He also said that GL would be renewed through 2010, so WRONG.

I wish that genre would just die. Talk about taking space on a tv channel.
