Thanks for posting this. This was touching. If you are planning to attend the Loving Lanview event please post videos for the fans who were not able to attend.

Great to see the cast together one last time (for now)I was a little disappointed that Patrick Gibbons wasn’t there.Sam was a big part of the show over the past year.

i can’t say anything right now but there are tears streaming down my face …………….

Good-Bye OLTL. I’ve been watching since 1970, hardly missing an episode. You are all my favorite characters/actors. I will miss you terribly. I’m only sorry I never got to see any of you at any fan functions. Good luck to you all in all of your future endeavors. I can’t believe it’s almost over. Two more days.

I love these actors and I’m going to miss OLTL terribly. ABC has made such a huge mistake.

I hope they make the cast AND crew photo available….

Thank you for all the wonderful storylines. I started watching this show the first day it aired and I feel like I am losing part of my family. I want to wish all the cast members and crew good luck and happiness in 2012. Maybe one day we will all gather around our TV sets again to enjoy the magic of OLTL …<3 <3 <3

Truly there are no words that will suffice in expressing how sad I am!
Thank you to cast & crew! You’ll never truly understand the impact OLTL has had on us, the audience. Here’s to wishing you the best of luck in all your future endeavors! BRAVO!

That was so Beautiful !!!! I’m just so saddened & heartbroken , Is it silly of me to be this way ? I’m just loss for words. I’m just so SAD about this whole mess. Thank you all at OLTL Cast & Crew & Writers for all the memories you have given me over the 30 years I’ve been watching !!! You are my second family and always will be !! OLTL will live on forever for me. Thank you also Michael for all you do for the SOAPS !!!

Loved that they took pic of the cast and crew,i will forever be heartbroken

The whole cast looks great.. I am going to miss this show so much.

ABC you should be ashamed of yourself….I truly hope the shows you chose to take OLTL and All My Childrens place totally flops….Why do we need another food show….ugh!!!! Very big mistake!

I’m chocked up with emotions….

Thanks Michael!!!

One afternoon in July 1968, I was at my friend Rose’s house in Lawrence Park, PA where I grew up. Rose’s mom told us there was a brand new story beginning in a few minutes and did we want to watch it with her? We said yes. Watching that first episode of OLTL is one of my “Kodak” moments. The image of Rose’s squeaky-clean living room, the black and white portable tv, the beige walls, and brown-tweed sofa is burned in my brain. We were introduced to the Lord family, and I was hooked. I couldn’t watch during the school year because VCRs hadn’t been invented yet, but I watched during school breaks and summer vacations. I married after graduating from high school and had my three children closely together. While they were small, I’d put them in for their naps after lunch, and it was a welcome break to watch my stories while they slept. I began working after my youngest entered school. I worked evenings so I was still able to follow OLTL. When I went to college, I worked full time, pursued an honors degree in English writing (won a full summer scholarship to Oxford), and had three active children to raise. During those years, I taped my story. Did I see every episode? No, I didn’t. After graduating I won a Teaching Assistantship and began working on my Masters. I worked part-time, went to school and taught full-time. I continued to record OLTL. When my brain was fried from reading rhetorical theory or literary criticism articles or couldn’t write another word for the countless papers due each week, I’d stop, watch my story, then return to my work refreshed. After earning my Masters, I began teaching English at the university level. I watch OLTL everyday. It’s on while I critic student drafts, grade papers, and read journals. I’m not sharing this because I think I’m special. I don’t. I’m writing about my accomplishments to try to break the stereotype that the only people who watch the soaps are bored, uneducated, unemployed, fat housewives who have nothing better to do. Millions of us are educated, hard-working people who just happen to love daytime drama. The majority of soap fans lead stressful, busy lives. They turn to the stories because they can let go of their problems and immerse themselves in pure, stress-free entertainment. This genre provides a constant in their chaotic lives, particularly now when so many people have lost their jobs, are worried about losing their jobs, and/or facing foreclosure on their homes. As I write this, tears are streaming down my face because I feel I’m losing my friends. Over the decades, many friends have come and gone from Llanview, PA. The Wolecks and Vegas come to mind, but the show introduced many other new friends over the years. I am grieving, yes grieving over the loss of Vicki, Clint, Dorian, David, Blair, Todd, Rex, Gigi, Shane, Renee, Nora, Bo, Star, Jack, Sam, Jessica, Natalie,… Read more »

I feel like I’m losing my Family members..ABC your making a HUGE MISTAKE….OLTL you will be Missed!!!!!

P.S. after OLTL airs Friday I WILL NOT watch ABC,DISNEY, ESPN…..

mighty fine looking cast. Best wishes to you all… Maybe we’ll get a movie or a book out of you all to tell us how it all ends….

That was really sweet to see. Makes me both happy and sad. These people should not be losing their jobs. But at least the show is going off while they had great stories still.

So sad to see them all together for the last time!

I am sure the video would have been great if I could have see it. I heard it but the video part o f it didn’t work. I am going to miss OLTL. I have been watching from the beginning and I feel like a part of my family is dying. Best wishes to all the fine actors from OLTL

I am very disappointed that this show is ending we all there has to be away to keep it.There are all those reality shows that I don’t know who watches,, there are other networks , One life to live I am so sorry to see you all go ….Hope you all fine bigger and better things,,, I am going to miss you .. Make a new Show Life lives on in Llandview…or just Llandveiw

Thank you for the many hours of soap opera enjoyment. The cast and storylines of OLTL have been superb. I will miss the show . The cast picture was a rea; treat/

ABC is robbing the general public of what they want. I no longer trust them, even if they are moving characters to GH, it is only so they don’t lose THAT audience. I cannot bring myself to watch, sorry. No Erika, no Robert Woods, no Hilary…no me!

That was so beautiful!

So sad 🙁 Agnes Nixon looks so sad I don’t even think she smiled. Twice in a few months to say Good-Bye to what she has created has to take a toll

What a beautiful shot of the cast and crew… OL has been a part of my life since 1969 and I can’t imagine it no longer being on. Thank you for the many wonderful years of entertainment…You will be missed…

I WANT A PICTURE_ and, cast- THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES- as BOB HOPE once said, CINDY

How sad, but the crew & cast are a class act. Made me tear up! You suck ABC powers that be, what a HUGE mistake!

Like many here,I ‘m speechless and yet sadden that such a wonderful program has to come to an end. I have enjoyed and so use to watching you all that I had to rethink the times when making doctor appointments, forgetting you no longer will be around.

To each of you, to those who are newly experience and those who spent the last 43 yeas on OLTL….all I can say is, God bless each of you and your families. May God direct and lead you to the right new acting jobs. May any new parts be a blessing from God. And through the many paths we walk upon take to a much better place one day.

You have inspired millions of people. You have entertain them with your truest dignity. We are sadden you have to leave ….but unfortunately things have to come to an end even if we hate it and refuse to accept it.

You will be greatly missed, not only as characters of a show, but as your fans as an actor/actress, and as individuals for who you truly are..

So, at this moment, I salute you …& applaud.

…and to the crew, bravo!!!!

…and yes, ABC, you made the biggest mistake by shutting down our soaps. You should be so ashamed of yourselves. for unemploying so many, and for undoubtedly ending shows that are truly admired by millions.

Safe hugs to each of you!

Like viewing a family album. Best wishes to all people of LLanview PA
TV at it’s finest!
I will miss each of you, daily.

ABC made a biggest mistake ever. I have been watching since 1991 then stopped watching it but I watched it again in 1996. I love that show so much. It won’t be the same ever again.It was the best show ever. I will be disappointed that the show will be gone ait will not be the same ever again. Love that show so much.

Thanks for that picture. My heart is breaking as the time nears. I’ve watched since 1972 & so this IS my family who will be missed more than words can say. I’ve been lucky enough to meet a large majority of these actors & actresses & these are memories & photos I’ll treasure forever. Goodbye OLTL!!

Reading all the comments above, made me cry because I feel the same as everyone else. I, too, have watched OLTL since day one. As someone else said, did I see every episode, no. But over the years there are very few that I missed. Of all the ABC soaps, OLTL was always my favorite. I remember Vinnie Wolek, Tony Lord, Jennie, Brad, Karen, and so many more that have gone. As I said….I’ve watched forever. Now I couldn’t be more sad….or cry more or harder….if I lost my whole family. This is devastating to me. I’ve been crying since last week’s shows. I cry when I read articles about OLTL. This is the show that has made me laugh and cry and sympathize and always treated social issues with class and true information. And it’s made me wink at the tv so many times over the years at references to the past that only longtime viewers would pick up on.

I’m thrilled beyond words that Kassie, Roger (welcome back. oh how I’ve missed you!), Kristen and Michael will be moving to Port Charles. My only hope/wish now is that there will be more to follow.

Good luck and God Bless the whole cast, and all the crew and writers. May this door closing be the opening of a window for you.

Ms. Nixon THANK YOU!! Thank you for filling the last 33 years of my life with fun, drama, angst, tears, smiles, applause and a family that I will NEVER forget.
Ms. Slezak – thank you for Victoria Lord Buchanan (as she will only be known to me as!)
Mr. Woods – thank you for Bo Buchanan and for making it nearly IMPOSSIBLE for me to find a decent man that measure up to Bo!
Ms. Smith – thank you for Nora Hanen Gannon Buchanan! An inspiration for me to be as strong as I could be and make it OUT of a really bad situation my life had become stuck in.
Mr. VerDorn – thank you for Clint Buchanan! Although Clint Ritchie will always be dear to my heart – you breathed a new life into Clint and took him to places we never imagined.
Thank you to the entire cast and crew over the past 43 years for your dedication, your devotion, your love of your craft that gave us some of the best (and worst) hours of our lives!
I am writing this with tears streaming down my face as I feel as if I am eulogizing a dear dear deparated friend, but in a way, I guess I am. I love One Life to Live. It was more than “a TV show” or “A soap” it was it’s own living being. And that is because of all of you that it lived.
May God bless you all in all you do and keep you safe. Until we meet again.
PS – Please keep watch over them all Mr. Carey – I’m sure Asa would’ve pulled that 12 guage on Brian Frons faster than he could say, “You’re outta the will!”

Here’s what you do when you don’t find the rainbow’s end
This time
Here’s where you go when it looks like the rain won’t end
Don’t cry

There’s always tomorrow, where you can have a second chance
And after tomorrow, all that you have to remember

Here’s what you do when you think nobody cares
For you
Look in my eyes and see there’s an answer there
It’s true

We’ll find tomorrow, a place for us, I know because…
Time only knows
How long forever’s going to last
And we don’t even need to ask

Let’s live today
And find someone to share it with
‘Cause we only have one life to live

Don’t cry

I’ll give you tomorrow
Let me be the one you share it with
And each day that follows
‘Cause we only have one life to live

I too have watched OLTL since high school days, 40 years ago. I remember fondly Vicki and Meredith and Dr. Joyce Brothers. Joe Reilly, Karen Wolek, Vinnie and Wanda Wolek, Mark Toland (Tommy Lee Jones) and of course Dorian Lord. I could go on and on. It’s shameful that the network couldn’t work this out and find a way to continue scripted daytime television. Both AMC and OLTL shold have had a place on network TV but greed won in the end. My best wishes to the cast and crew, I’ll miss you.

How nice to be able to see this and see everyone interacting with each other. Agnes, Erika and Kassie all looked like it was very hard to put on a happy face. I have watched this show since it began with the original “ikki Vicki” and am so happy to have been able to see Erika carry on this role-fab actress! I have enjoyed every single show and actor/actresses and truly feel honored to have been able to watch the best soap opera ever made! OLTL will forever be in my heart! The best of everything to all of you-you all deserve it so very much!

As many of us I will not be watching the replacement shows for all my children and especially one life to live. the new shows are all of the same old excessivness this country is being lend into. How many self improvement and food shows do we need in this day and age when so many people can barely put bread on their tables let alone indulge in your self pleasing greed. One live to live took us out of the problems of these times, and escape the harsh realities in our lives. These new show are a slap in the face to all the poor souls just tring to surive.I pray they all fail I know I will not be tunning in. God help us all! One Life To Live you will surely be missed I love all of the actor on this show they are the best!!!

I loved the video of the final cast photo shoot. I am so sad to see my last Soap go off the air, first AMC and now OLTL. It is getting so close to the last day and I am starting to get sad & mad all at the same time, lol. They both are my family of sorts over the years of watching them over my last 40 years. Goodbye & R.I.P AMC & OLTL. But I can say that I was happy to hear about Blair, Todd, Star & John going to GH which I usually do not watch but sad to hear that Jack, Sam, Natalie, & Liam will not be Joining them. Which I do not understand why are Jack & Sam not gonna exist anymore? And why put John & Nattie back together at the end if they are not gonna be a family??? I love you all & I am gonna miss u all so much.

I am so sad it is the last week. I was sad about AMC and now OLTL. I unwind after work watching soaps. Definite void. Have started taping Young and the Restless and General Hospital. ABC is no longer on my friend list.

I have watched One Life 40 years,named my son Clint ,after Clint Ritchie,Im so mad,Im losing my family,shame on you ABC,wished so much another network would pick up the show ,this week I can’t stop crying!,i will not watch ABC again Ill always treasure my issue of episodes with Asa and Renee on the cover,25 years ago,miss you all so much,I hope to see some of my family on other shows ,but breaking this show up is hard on me,,love you guys<3<3<3

So nice to see the whole cast together for one last time. I have been watching OLTL for 30 years…I will miss it dearly. Good luck to all the cast and crew, and thank you sooo much for all the wonderful, entertaining shows!!

Best of luck to the cast and crew of OLTL! You will be missed terribly. I have watched this show since the mid 70’s, you have been a huge part of my life. Thanks for the memories!

I would like to say it is a sadden time to see this soap to come to a farewell. i started watching this soap when i was 9 with my grandmother. yall became a part of our family . we shed tears and we laughed at some of the scenes . but yall came in our house every day as clock work. never missed espoide .if i wasnt able to see it on the giving days i taped it and watched later. but i grew up sharing each special moment with everyone there. i am so upset about losing my show . hoping that in some given way it could be saved. hopefully some where months ahead maybe there will be a way for it to come back and the cast that is there now will come back cuz as Agnes Nixon always said Ya’ll are All My Children. even if yall are from One Live To Life. i just dislike this having to come to end but i am hoping some way yall come back . miss yall. i will not be tuning in to watch the replacement in the time slot. of yalls hour of 1pm to 2pm

I’ve watched One Life to Live since 1993. I was 13 years old at the time and didn’t have any idea of who I was or what I wanted to be. I’ve changed a lot since then and have had many ups and downs. I feel honored and privileged to have spent 18 years with the citizens of Llanview. They feel like my second family and aside from my family, have been the most consistent thing that I have had. There will be a void when it is gone, but I know that I’ll look back and cherish the one hour a day that I got to spend with such interesting and complex characters. Thank you OLTL!!

I’ve been watching OLTL for 30+ years! It’s my 2nd family! I will miss all of the actors, story lines, the whole show! Shame on you ABC for taking off these shows that are special to so many people! I will NOT watch The Chew, Revoluation, whatever it’s called! I hope ABC realizes it’s mistake once these new shows tank & BRING BACK OUR SOAPS!!!

Bittersweet moments indeed. OLTL has been part of my life for 30 year. It’s been with me in good times & in bad. It was always a comfort to come home to. I love it & I will cry my eyes out once it finally ends 🙁 Long live the Manning’s!
