‘One Life to Live’ News: Fans Fighting To Get OLTL back – 5 Years After Cancellation & 4 Years After Last Episode Aired

In 2011 Prospect Park announced the cancellation of two dearly loved ABC soaps, “All My Children” (AMC) and “One Life to Live” (OLTL). Fans rallied hard to bring their soaps back and won for a soap opera minute.  Prospect Park made a deal with ABC that “General Hospital” could cross over characters from “OLTL” to GH. ABC started killing off these characters owned by Prospect Park sparking a lawsuit against ABC.

The outrage after the “OLTL” cancellation is very understandable considering ABC pulled the plug on a soap that was beating “AMC”, “GH” and “Days of Our Lives” by thousands. “OLTL” continued to grow by large numbers in all demographics even after ABC announced they were cancelling the popular Daytime Soap. In 2011 “OLTL” was the third most watched Soap on television with 2.762 million viewers easily beating out all other soap with the exception of two.

In 2013 The Soap world was devastated once again by the final nail in the coffin of “OLTL” and “AMC” the network cut the number of episodes from 4 to 2 then eventually pulled the plug despite the higher ratings “OLTL” was pulling in. Fans have never and will never get over this travesty.

The loyalty of the fans has been unwavering, they have been steadfast in their fight to get their favorite soaps back. It is 2016 and the wound of losing “OLTL” and “AMC” has not healed. As a matter of fact the fans take every opportunity to try to breathe life into them in any way possible by starting petitions and writing to the networks tirelessly. The latest petition found on social media is asking Netflix to pick up “OLTL”. If Netflix is interested they could buy the rights to these ABC soaps saving “AMC” and “OLTL” while giving Prospect Park more money to pursue their lawsuit against ABC.

What do you think loyal fans, would you like to see Netflix pick up “One Life to Live” and “All My Children”?
