I wish another station even a cable station would pick OLTL up This is so sad An no one wants more talk shows we have enough I’m gonna miss OLTL there will be nothing on now to watch I hope all the actors and staff find new jobs and we continue seeing them thank god for facebook and twitter

Erika is the reason I not only became a soap fan but stayed a soap fan for 20 years. She is the epitome of class and grace. I cannot imagine my tv without Victoria Lord! I can only hope that someone, some network can save the real daytime tv, the drama. I know I have no desire to watch anything on OLTLs time slot! The last thing I want is more reality tv! I want the Buchanans!

Another cooking show? If we want to watch this, we have the food network which
works. Another health show? If we want that, all I have to watch is the Biggest Loser
and the Doctors which works. What we need is our soaps, listen to the loyal peeps.

To have a job that long is an honor, and I will miss you and the cast of OLTL. I watched this show for years and stopped watching when I went to college. I tuned in when “The Eterna” fiasco was going on and said, I will come back. Years later, I found Soap Net and got hooked. I was so glad you were still on the show.

I remember Joe, Karen, Dante, Larry, Elijah Blue, Megan, Luna and so many other characters. But right now, this has been the best storytelling in YEARS! Keep up the good work. You all will not be forgotten.

So sorry to see the show end. I have watched for many years and am very sad to see the news reports today. I wish all of the actors on these two great shows all the luck in the world and know that you will be sorely missed.

BOTH OF THESE SOAPS I HAVE WATCHED FROM THE BEGINNINGAND ALL THEY HAVE GIVEN ME IN 40 YEARS THERE ARE NO WORDS! MY HEARTFELT GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE LOVE AND WORK EVERYONE HAS PUT INTO THEM THEY MADE A DIFFRENCE IN MY LIFE I FEEL LIKE I AM SAYING GOODBYE TO A FAMILY MEMBER!ERICA SLEZAK IS THE MOST INCREDIBLY GIFTED ACTRESS IN TELEVISON SHE IS ALWAYS SO GRACIOUS AND ALWAYS GIVES CREDIT TO THE WRITERS BUT FOR HER TO MOVE PEOPLE IN THE WAY SHE HAS TAKES INCREDIBLE TALENT! THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN MAKE ME FEEL WHAT SHE DOES! HER FAMILY IS SO EXTREMELY BLESSED TO HAVE HER. I WISH SOMTHING IN THIS LIFE WOULD NOT BE ABOUT THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR! IT IS SO UNFAIR ON EVERY LEVEL!I WISH EVERYONE A HEARTFELT THANK YOU AND GODS BLESSING IN THERE NEXT ENDEAVORS! PEACE AND PRAYERS ELLEN KEARNEY

Having met Erika on many occasions I am devastated that this talented actress will no longer grace our screens on OLTL. Indeed Erika is a rare jewel and ABC really has messed up big time by canceling One Life to Live and All My Children. I can’t believe the replacements “The Chew” “The Revolution”. Are they kidding me or what? When they bomb..don’t blame anyone but yourselves for your really ridiculous decisioon to do away with these two phenomenal daytime serials.

If nothing can save OLTL than I hope that people from the talented cast create a kick ass web series with Erika and Robin as the 2 rivals. That would get me to tune in.

I am so sad to see you leave. I have watched for a longtime and love OLTL. It brings tears to my eyes.I am done withABC and will NOT watch anything they put on to replace these two GREAT soaps. I can only hope that another network picks them up.Perhaps Opera will,as she is a big fan. I wish the best to all of you and will miss you greatly.

I have been watching One Life To Live since it came on. We are retired Navy in all of the moves that we went through I knew that I had my favorite Soap to watch and look forward to everyday. Some days the only time that I would turn the TV on during the day was to watch Vicki and Dorian.

We have enough talk shows and cooking shows. ABC you have made a bad decision as far as I am concerned.

This has been such a disappointing day. I have been watching OLTL thanks to my mother for now 29 years. I have never missed an episode that I know of Thanks to the VCR (when my mom would record the shows when I was at school) soapnet and my lovely DVR which saves me while at work. I use to watch all the ABC soaps, up until the past few years. AMC lost my interest around the time Josh Duhamel left, and GH I jump back to once in a blue but does not capture me the way OLTL does with a faithful cast. Although there are a few other shows I like on ABC like Castle and Greys Anatomy I will definitely stop watching them if OLTL goes off the air and I will say good by to ABC because they are taking away a great part of TV and history for another food and health show that is not needed along with the rest of reality TV. My dream of my son growing up to not only watch the show with his mother but to maybe one day have a chance to be on the show( big dreams) has been killed. I truly hope another network is smart enough to pick up the show and its excellent cast

This is terrible news, I have been watching One Life to Live for 26 years along with tons of friends, we are all upset…lets please try to stop this from happening, i sent a letter to ABC…who wants to watch more cooking and talk shows….Soaps are the real tv shows!

This IS a sad moment for daytime TV and for it’s fans! It is definately the end of an era for ABC! It is very sad to know that we’re going to lose such a treasured show like “One Life To Live”! I’ve watched this show for nearly 38 years, and I remember all of the great storylines, as well as the great actors who’ve graced this show over the years, some of whom went on to even great success ( Tommy Lee Jones & Laurence Fishburne are 2 good examples of this ), and I’m even sadder for the wonderful Erika Slezak, whom I’ve always loved as Vicki, and love even more so now!!!! Thank you so much, OLTL, for all the wonderful drama and entertainment you have given us!!! ABC’S daytime schedule just won’t be the same after this!

I can’t imagine daytime tv without one life to live. You will all be greatly missed.
Best wishes to everyone.
A fan since the beginning,
Diane

Erika you are a real role model. Viki is a model of what “good behavior” should be…Niki on the other hnd is not…Just so many memories of this wonderful soap. I love the Dorian and David Vickers scenes…I can’t get enough of his silliness. THIS DECISION REALLY STINKS….BRIAN FRONS IS AN IDIOT!!!

Dearest Ms. Slezak– as a two-year old child, I genuinely remember being in front of the television in 1968 watching OLTL. I actually have toddler-aged memories of your acquisition of the role of Viki–I had watched a LOT of TV as a child; especially the ABC line-up with all of it’s drama–because you, at once, infused & epitomized the character with a grace, eloquence & angelic beauty that could only have come from within. Your voice, diction, inflections and annunciation of the English language brings a unmatched comfort I have known since diapers–all of my life. I saw Francesca James’ Marcy Wade plant red wigs & guns all over the place; trying to gaslight Viki!! In the late 70’s & early 80’s –during the Luke & Laura era– I would RUSH home when school in the Bronx, where I lived, let out at 2:30p.m. just to catch the last 10 minutes of One Life. Sure, GH was all the rage, and I was right along with it, but Llanview–Viki & Joe, Larry & Karen, Jenny & Brad, Wanda, Vinnie, Ed & Carla, Herb & Dorian–was where my heart truly resided. In a late-teen auto-trek to California, I remember stopping in Arizona, plugging in the black&white to a gas station outlet and watching you, Robin Strasser and Andrea Evans open boxes Victor Lord had left for the 3 of you in the secret room beneath Llanfair. Our friends got hooked when they saw Viki slap Tina across the face!! In my early twenties, before we could afford a VCR, I would scribble a few tag lines from each scene so I could do my best to recreate the episode, scene by scene, for my partner when he came home in the evenings. Our dearest friend, an artist with as many eccentricities as I have –which number quite a few(!)– and I created “Niki’-cards: Day-glo bright carboard rectangles we carried in our wallets for years with a picture of you in your most outrageous outfits whilst portraying your infamous, second-most played character on the front and a poem we composed on the back. (I can’t put my hands on it right now, but it was an ‘ok to love yourself’ -themed set of couplets that ended with the line: “..and you will find your Niki.” ) Once we’d gotten our own apartment, we christened our first VCR “Tina” for Andrea and our first TV, “Viki”, for you. The ONLY time I strayed was during the Rappaport-era’s heyday–and I always stayed abreast of Llanview’s goings-ons and rejoined the daily fold during Andrea Evans’ most recent return. I have hung-out on E. 66th Street waiting for sightings & autographs only a handful of times in my life, but it always felt magical–being in such proximity to “Llanview.” I cannot comprehend television without your presence and your character, Viki’s presence other than you yourself stating that you were tired and/or done. I wish I had a “Jean Randolph” to put me on auto-pilot and contain the despair I feel at the thought of losing our beloved Llanview; a “Niki Smith” to diminish the pain with silly distractions; or even a “Tori”–to take that em-effer, Brian Frons OUT!! (LOL!) –Thank you, Ms. Slezak, for performances so genuine, so riveting, so unforgettable– that making such a statement is in no way as silly as it may sound. You have provided for me–and countless others, I am sure– a beacon of class and decency to aspire to. I pray this message finds you resolved and joyous in your creation and her effects. Thank you, MarcAnthony.
