One Life to Live fans are in for a real treat because The Online Network (TOLN) has just released this juicy video clip package to get you up to date at where we are in the story since the 43-year-old soap was cancelled by ABC, and it aired it’s final episode and sensational cliffhanger back in January of 2012.

Now, fast forward to April of 2013 and Llanview is back, featuring so many of your beloved favorites when it’s first new episode is revealed on April 29th on Hulu.com, HuluPlus and iTunes!

To get you caught up and ready, six-time Daytime Emmy winner Erika Slezak (Viki) provides the narration and re-introduces us to the people in Viki’s life and her family It starts with classic clips of the best supercouple on daytime, Viki Banks and her nemeisis, Dorian Cramer Lord (Robin Strasser). From there, we see Viki’s on- again off -again relationship over the years with Clint Buchanan (Jerry verDorn), whom when OLTL went off the air, Clint had proposed to Viki!

Then, the excitement picks up from there with the “Tale of the Two Todds”, and how the Todd (Roger Howarth) and Victor Jr. (Trevor St. John) story played out right till the end of the ABC version of the series, where we saw that Victor Jr. was very much alive! Plus, we learn of Nora (Hillary B. Smith) and Bo’s (Robert S. Woods) relationship, their son Matthew (Then Eddie Alderson, now Robert Gorrie) and Bo’s son, David Vickers (Tuc Watkins)! In addition, brand new footage from the new One Life is part of the clips! And oh yes, Viki also tells the story of Natalie (Melissa Archer) and John (Michael Easton) and says they were “star-crossed” lovers!

IT WAS WONDERFUL ,ESPECIALLY SEEING TREVOR ST JOHN,

caroldee

I agree 100% Great job of reviewing our wonderful show!!!!

Edwin

Oh my goodness I am so excited I was excited before but now it’s to the tenth power!!!
I am very excited to see my show again. I hope this means Victor is back I want to see him reunite wih Dani and Tea and knock Todd the heck out with a right hook! He has so much potential in stories from his crazy love with Tea and his feuding with his beautiful daughter Dani to his great scenes with Roger Howarth to when they explore the history of him/ Victor. I also want to see where Danis story goes now that hates out of the picture she could actually have a good love interest her young love story with Matthew was great but I hope they don’t reunite because with a new actor it won’t be the same and this pretty boy seems like he will suck I won’t mind her being single for a while I really hope they don’t make her and Destiny sluts like it seems they will. I want to see an episode with Todd, Tina, Vicki, and Victor All in it that would be classic. But no matter what they do I will be tuning in April 29th save the date OLTL forever!!!!!

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! so excited!!

susan M.

Mee Too!

danicajolie

Love the recap. Can’t wait to see what transpires!

Michael

I got into the show before it was cancelled by ABC and when General Hospital was unwatchable so I’m excited to see it again!

Llanviewer717

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I love this show. I love these characters and the wonderfully talented people who work so hard to bring them to life. It is so wonderful to see everyone and know that our story IS going on. The brief glimpses of the new scenes look fantastic. I cannot wait.

susan M.

OLTL is LOOKING GOOD!

su0000

I watch my soaps at night so I have no interruption, my day is done..
I watch them on HuLu Plus with very few commercials..
So- I am going to relax, make pop corn (with a Dr Pepper) and celibate OL’s return!!
(and AMC, also.

(I will be watching the soaps at 10:30 every evening in my pj’s all cuddles up)

Ashlee

LOL @ celibate. I hope you meant celebrate!

Nancy

So excited to see OLTL, only bummed about it only being a half hour show but it’s definitely better than nothing.

Dinah

This is great, thank you

Mark in FLA

I am kind of surprised that Prospect Park was allowed to use clips from ABC.
Michael, Do you know if Soapnet will be able to continue to show OLTL & AMC repeats once the new episodes start?

internet only. Besides, we need to make sure that people can only watch the shows online.. the more hits/downloads.. the better! I encourage everyone to watch each episode a couple of times on different services for more ‘unique’ hits, the fans will decide if this is a success or not, don’t think we’ll get a 3rd life to live.

Tali

PP bought the rights to OLTL- all the RIGHTS!! I believe they have a piece of the pie also.

Mark in FLA

The repeats I am talking about are the ones that Soapnet still shows early in the morning. 6AM here on the east coast for OLTL. It appears the episodes are 2 to 3 years old. I fully understand that all of the new episodes will be internet only.

heidi

Looking good… can’t wait!

scott

Can not wait omg

MBmomof3

LOVED IT! Thanks for the memories. Looking forward to new memories with OLTL on TOLN. Can’t wait!

Chrissy

Sandy

OMG, I am beyond excited! That gave me goosebumps,
Can’t wait! What a great promotion for OLTL!

jimh

It looks good! It sounds good! I just hope the new regime does an escellent job like FV and RC had done with the show! Plus i wish RH was staying as the one and only Todd!

jimh

I wouldve loved a feud between brothers Todd(RH) and Victor(TSJ) similar to Viki and Dorian! If only everything couldve worked out btween abc and pp…and if TSJ had returned full time…both OLTL and GH i feel couldve benfit greatly ratingwise with a crossover storyline…but thats old news now and the both shows must go one!

I could watch that clip of a pissed off Dorian in a fly hat and her portrait forever. So exciting!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’M SO HAPPY THEY’RE COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

susan M.

I am happy OLTL is coming on again! It will be wonderful to see Llanview again & Landfair …… Especially looking forward to seeing Erika Slezak(Viki) first! Then all my
other favorites as follows on OLTL (Bo,Nora,Clint,Dorian.Blair,Tea,Victor Jr.,Todd,etc………… Erika is the best on OLTL in my book! Miss Asa , he is missed
alot ! How he could work the room……You even liked him when he was good & bad! He was a VERy good actor! WELCOME BACK ONE LIFE TO LIVE!

Joliefan Forever

Those scenes brought tears to my eyes all the great history and future of the show! April 29th can not get here soon enough! I can not to see Todd ((TSJ)) come home and send Vic Jr back to Port Charles with his tail between his legs!!

Barb

Now that’s how you do a recap well (nice to see Joey as well).

Terri

My eyes are misty my show is back. I am so grateful to the cast members who are reviving their cherished characters. Woes cannot express my gratitude this is a special community of fans because this is a special community of actors.

Terri

I meant words not woes. 🙂

Tali

That was totally awesome!! Can hardly wait. Bring on Jolie (will miss you ME) and OLTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rodd

Excellent! A great recap that will be so helpful to new viewers and such a rush for those of us who have watched for years! Loved the last line of this clip!: “Who says you only have one life to live?” Bring it on, April 29!

mgb357

It’s real
and it’s happening soon.

I am captivated and will be watching on HuluPlus…

Our hardwork has paid off.

Waiting for Vicki, Clint, Dorian, Blair, Todd, tea, Victor, Natalie, Bo, Nora, David

and all the newcomers.

Only 24 more days to go.

Emily

Love, love, love the recap. I can’t wait till the 29th. Fitting that ES narrated it, she did a wonderful job. Enjoyed watching the last scenes of when OLTL was first cancelled, a colossal mistake it was. Still get choked up when Bob Woods he said I love you to his red…could barely get the words out.

Yay… 🙂

Tali

Well said Emily – I agree!

Avidreader72

A M A Z I N G !

I don’t care that I work the next day I’m watching that first episode at midnight.

Liz

Can’t wait for the 29th. Will be watching. So thankful we our soap got another chance, should have never been cancelled. Just hope they re-cast John McBain as he is such an important character in the show. Although we will miss Michael Easton, I am sure in time we can adjust to a new actor.

Edwin

Really good trailer/recap got me even more hyped then I was for April 29th but it would had been 10 times better had they shown the scene of Victor alive right after they showed John arresting Todd.

susan M.

Erika Slezak is quite the lady! A real class Act! Can’t wait to see her on OLTL my favorite soap!

Dez

TOOOOO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF!

I love the last line on the clip ” who says you only have one life to live!”

Doe

Love Erica Slezac. One of the finest actors of our time. Will be happy seeing anything OLTL…It’s not far away now. So fans get ready..Yahoo…
