Good Morning America pays tribute to One Life to Live this Monday!
One Life to Live fans, make sure not to miss this coming Monday’s January 9th episode of Good Morning America on ABC. That is when GMA’s special correspondent and former star of All My Children, Cameron Mathison (Ryan) will host a very special segment as the show pays tribute to OLTL as the iconic show draws to an end and becomes part of television history, while the viewers at home get ready to watch the last five episodes as it wraps up its final week of airshows!
We are hoping they will look at the history, interview the actors in the current cast, and gives us a behind-the-scene glimpse of the final days of life in Llanview. Whatever the case, make sure not to miss it!

One very special guest for soap fans will be that of Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane, All My Children). As everyone knows, Carol Burnett was a huge fan of All My Children and Lucci, and eventually got a part written just for her when she appeared not once, but three times throughout the daytime drama’s run on ABC as Verla Grubbs. The character turned out to the daughter of Langley Wallingford (the late Louis Edmonds). Burnett appeared in Pine Valley in 1983, 1995, and 2005.
In a statement on the big soiree’, Burnett shared: “I’m so excited NBC decided to throw me a birthday party and invited all of my closest friends. I can’t wait to look back at so many wonderful moments throughout my career, I feel so lucky to share this night with everyone.”
“This special is going to be the best party ever,” said Mark Bracco, executive producer and president of Silent House Productions. “It will be an evening of music, comedy and dozens of big stars paying tribute to the one and only Carol Burnett. We look forward to everyone at home celebrating right along with us.”
Viewers will see some of the funniest and most memorable moments of Burnett’s legendary career including moment from the acclaimed sketch comedy series The Carol Burnett Show.
So, looking forward to the special honoring Carol Burnett’s legendary career? Hope they bring up her role as Verla on AMC? For now, check out this scene featuring Carol, Ruth Warrick (Phoebe) and Louis Edmonds from All My Children, and let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

ABC cans the show but wants to get ratings off of its legacy. Give me a break!
I feel the same ,and Im sure abc will insult us with there boring ,loud commercials of the chew and the revolution .I have no choice but to watch good morning america and the view ,( only to support one life to live) but abc will make out in the ratings ,And I have a problem with that .The view says there will be a big announcement on that day,Are they going to bring on those idiots from the chew ,and share a hamburger or maybe that apple and oranges doctor will give us advice on how to deal with… Read more »
Oh My God-me too.
I hate abc. Prospect park needs to send the soap to cable… but then again they were in on it with Frons… they just wanted the fans to shut up. This show NEVER should have been canned…. Someone feel free to tell ABC that OLTL trended 2 days in a row world wide. And also tell Disney the phrase Disney is pathetic trended too….
Leah, what do you mean by “OLTL trended 2 days in a row world wide.?” Can you explain that please annd ALSO…….. tell me where I can find that information so that I can understand that statement for myself..
Did Disney trend to or is that you saying that? Please explain. Thanks.
Id like to know to.
This may help;
Twitter’s Trending Topics algorithm identifies topics that are immediately popular, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help people discover the “most breaking” news stories from across the world. We think that trending topics which capture the hottest emerging trends and topics of discussion on Twitter are the most interesting.
I believe she means Trended from Twitter.
Blake (hummm, I just sent you a reply, LOL, and I click on and your answering mine, posed by someone else. Thanks. Ok, what do you mean Trended from Twitter? Explain that for me and Barbara.. And she also said it trended worldwide. I don’t have a clue. Please explain.
Trying googling Trending by Twitter, do I have to do it for you? Geesh.
oh,ok . you do it for me.then let me know.ok.
This was not Fronz’ idea – this was all Ann Sweeney – new head of ABC at Disney. I’m thinking the new name of ABC should be the Already Been Canceled network. Such a shame because so many people worked so hard to bring this network up and now one person is taking it down.
so right you are.And alot of people were involved ,and they wanted there pockets loaded with more cash ,and they are willing to take good programing off ,and throw this garbage at us.abc use to be good ,Im so pissed off at them I didnt even get into the canceling of brothers and sisters boston legal ,I can go on but abc is going down hill fast.Its all cheep programing ,not worth watching tv .boycott abc thats all I can do watch general hospital when it ends change your channel.
Thanks for the heads up on GMA monday.
FYI- People magazine has Erica Slezak on the cover and several pages of pictures of current cast and comments in magazine.
I did see that, pretty cool that they had so many pages and featured most of the actors and gave them a photo shoot.
So sad that all the cancelled shows get the best publicity when they are canned.
I loved the article in People & will save it. I only wish they had shown John & Natalie too!
they cover the show now that its cancelled I hate ABC
ME TOO!
i hate abc too but as a loyal fan of over 40 years i will be watching any tribute to oltl that is being aired…………
I won’t be looking at it.
I’ve always known somehow that Fronz wasn’t behind this all by himself. He answers to somebody., so I AGREE with you. Ann should share som of the responsibility, OR all………….of it at this juncture bc she isn’t doing anything about it. JOIN US in sending bar’s of soap to the ABC studio’s in nyc. Abc can use them to clean up the mess they have made. Better stll the soap should be sent to Ann Sweeney, who is present and in a positon to change things around NOW. Let abc studio’s be BOMBARDED by soap arriving to the studio by… Read more »
All I can say is that I’m thankful that it’s Frons instead of Sweeney who made the decision to cancel the soaps. That woman wanted to cancel General Hospital along with the other two soaps.
I’ve read that Frons successor, Vicki Dummer, is not better than the rest of them. Actually, she’s worst. Whereas Frons had somewhat of a background in soap operas (having, for example, appeared on the soap opera Santa Barbara in 1989), Dummer is all 100% about reality television and so-called “lifestyle” shows.
the demise of daytime television ,bring back all the soaps,we want entertainment not cheap talk and food stuff ,shows like that are for idiots,thats why I wont be tuning in ,who hires someone who is the queen of reality shows?I would love to be a fly on a wall and find out the real reason abc got rid of frons,It cant be that he was the only one with the balls to kill all my children and one life to live.unless they wanted us to think that he is the reason the soaps are gone ,all of us head honchos… Read more »
From my personal point of view, I think that Frons got into an argument with the management of ABC over the future of General Hospital. ABC wants General Hospital out of the picture while Frons wants it to stay on the air.
Frons has always liked General Hospital. I don’t know what are his reasons for his love for GH. But long before the announcement was made that Frons would be leaving the company, I knew it all along that it would be impossible for Frons to cancel GH. Someone else would have to do it.
I will dvr this and only watch the OLTL segment. I understand that the new Soap Opera Digest that’s out has only OLTL in it and nothing else. I haven’t seen it yet but i’m gonna go buy it at the store this week. I did see the People magazine with Erika Slezak on the cover (a small pic) and it has like 6 pages in it of OLTL, I was surprised to see that! The only thing I saw in Entertainment Weekly was the article about Lindsey back on the show. I hope the new one has an article… Read more »
Hey Blake, telll me something, did Soap Opera Digest devote the entire magazine to AMC when it went off? Let me know. And what did people magazine do in honor of AMC, or Entertainment Weekly.
No AMC did not get all of that but they got at least one whole special magazine for themselves and got more news coverage.
Why are you giving me attitude about AMC? I didn’t say anything about AMC. So back off.
Hey Blake, telll me something, did Soap Opera Digest devote the entire magazine to AMC when it went off? Let me know. And what did people magazine do in honor of AMC, or Entertainment Weekly.) Where do you see ATTITUDE in my question? If you read very closely, I’m merely asking a question, and I ask pcolitely, “Let me know”. In contrast, you need to BACK OFF away from your OWN SELF. Your a DANGER to yourself IF YOU FIND a simple question to be Threatening. When I read your response, I first thought, “Oh, ok, he’s right, maybe AMC… Read more »
Scott has nothing against AMC. It’s only OLTL that he hates.
I do not understand how so many can give Frons the power to cancel the soaps..
Frons never had the power to cancel the soaps, why give make him out to be what he was not/ a power head of ABC/D with the power..
Blame whom is actually the head of the cancellations, and that would not be Frons.
It is a terrible mistake to kill-off OLTL.. It is very strong and wanted by millions.
I have a problem believing that in a few days OLTL will be dead, I still see it being revived.
Hey, Thank you for explaining that trending thing. It’s just a new term, I gathered how U explained it, which helps decribe what’s going on on twitter. (It’s a TRENDY word too lol.) I hear it when they use it on the news and I’m not sure what it means, I dont twitter or Facebook. I only wanted to know bc it was posted that OLTL was ‘trending’ all over the world. I know OLTL is not known ALL OVER THE WORLD, so that is why I wanted to know and I suppose Barbara too. So Thank You, for myself… Read more »
thanks for letting us know.
Glad I could help 🙂
Trending is the most popular / hottest topics being talked about /tweeted..
And OLTL was it!! 🙂 Goes to show how deep losing OLTL goes, millions so very upset and heartbroken..
Did AMC get this much Bra-hah when they were canceled? I know there was media attention, and I read stuff on abc.com, amd the like…. AMC, I read on this site Sunday, Jan, 9th got the Cover of People Magazine, and more media attention. What Im asking is, in your opionion do you think that AMC got the Fan-fare/ the Fall Out/ the Out Cry as OLTL?

i When i foounf out that you could talk to celebs on the internet i was amazed and to be a fan of theirs and to say what i was thinking in the stories of the soaps. i felt like i was in heaven because i never was able to go see them in person but i felt like wow i am getting closer to them just by being able to watch them and comment and now it is going away and i just don’t like it. I mean ABC had Soapnet and ABC to show their shows how can… Read more »
