One life to live was a wonderful soap set in Landview p.a. centering around heiress Vicky Davidson and the eccentric townsfolk who inhabited the town.Some of the most exciting story lines stemmed from Vicky's alters appearing during times of stress or danger to protect the host until her mind could heal. Leading to the main villain Mitch Perkins taking advantage of her having a child, Jessica who later developed the same condition, and wrapped up an exciting baby swap story where she finds out Natalie and Jessica both being fernal twins. Other stories tackled were cults, underground cities, time travel and even two lovers getting a second chance at happiness involving reincarnation. One life to live usually found ways to bring back long lost characters you cared about, keep exciting story lines going for months and keeping with current affairs by making them part of the show like Dorean running for mayor holding gay rallies or Starr singing number one hits at her mother's club. I started watching the show back in 2002 when I was off for summer break quickly catching up on who the characters were, their pasts and the current story lines until I was hooked. It broke my heart when it was announced it would be canceled and leave life forever. I still remember the last episode with the prison break and trying to wrap up all the characters lives into an hour feeling rushed, which it was, leaving us on a reading cliff hanger in case prospect place became a reality.At this point I have never been able to enjoy another soap or find a nice alternative to fill the void and still search for a new uploaded scene to relive the magic once more. Good bye to forty years of great entertainment.

Unlike All My children, As The World Turns and Guiding Light, all of which went off the air in September, One Life To Live opted to end its run in January, two weeks after Christmas and on Friday the 13th.Go figure.By ending in Sepember, it almost felt like when we would go back to school and miss the shows anyway (tho I only started watching ATWT and GL when I was out of high school), but it didn't matter.By ending OLTL two weeks after the holiday season, it caught me off-guard.First the Christmas episode ended with rolling credits (as opposed to those quick-flash names and duties run at the bottom of the screen each and every other time).Christmas and soaps developed a strange fantasy meaning to me, ever since Myrtle Fairgate on All My Children, with all the year-long chaos of Palmer trying to break up Cliff and Nina, still managed to quietly stand alone in her home, look out at the snow, and sing a nice a capella Christmas tune to herself.The OLTL Christmas episode ran the credits with a lovely slow version of Hark The Herald Angel Sings. I felt the tug.Then two weeks before the show goes off the air, various prison escapees terrorize the citizens of Llanview.Talk about going out in a bang. Even tho the only two actors who were on the show when I started watching are Slezak and Woods, the only three characters are Bo, Clint and Viki, I was spell-bound, especially when marvelous scene-stealer Patrick J Gibbon, as Sam Manning, was playing with his toys and being watched by the psychotic Hannah.When Starr Manning prayed and sang a song, One Life To Live (tho I didn't realize she was the singer, I had FFed thru some bits), that's all it took. I stood at the front door and cried like a baby. From over 30 years ago, I started watching when Samantha Vernon and Pat Ashley were taken hostage by (who was that guy? I've always called him Bruce Davison), I've watched off and on (sometimes more off when I didn't like how it was rolling).No, I was not watching when Karen Wolek broke down on the stand during Viki's trial for murdering Marco Dane (turned out it wasn't Marco at all, but his goody twin brother, Mario).But I do remember the revelation that former nun Jenny's baby, Karen's sister, really belonged to prostitute Katrina.I was watching before Buchanan appeared on the show.It's been a fun ride, a good ride. I hated stories (Clint's Back To the Future, Eterna was really goofy too) and there were clearly some better than others (The gang-rape storyline).I do hate to see them end tho. With the departure of One Life To Live and All My Children, there will be two less hours of 'reality' in my household.

Antonio and Jessica need to go! They are worse than boring. Same with RJ Gannon and the attorney that has her hooks into John. Get rid of that please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John belongs to Natalie so let's get it started. Evangeline is just not the one for John. And let's get Beau and Nora started on the track back to each other. Also, Kevin's ex-wife. Hit the bricks....you lost. Kevin needs someone with more spark to them. I do like Kevin's oldest son though. He's a real cute kid but needs more exposure. He's OK for now with Adriana. Beau is hot!! Let's see him on the personal side. He needs Nora!!!!!!!!!! I do love Roxey though, she is a real hoot and adds some spice to this show.
