All My Children and One Life to Live - Cancelled

15 years ago

Just heard it on the news...these 2 soaps are being cancelled. I haven't watched soaps since the early 80's but can remember watching them.

They will end in September and January.

To give you an idea the last time I watched One Life to Live...Judith Light played a hooker.

All My Children....there was a character who played a pimp (he played on Sesame Street) but don't remember his name.

Wonder how they will end these soaps?

I don't watch soaps, but those shows have been on for ages.
I wonder how many years? (I'm in my 60's)
Like you asked, how will they end them?

I haven't watched a soap in over 20 years. I used to live my day by them, such a addiction!

Someone sent this to me. SELF CPR What are you to do if you have a heart attack while you are alone? If you've already received this, it means people care about you ... The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually discovered this and did an in-depth study on it in our ICU The two individuals that discovered this then did an article on it .. had it published and have even had it incorporated into ACLS and CPR classes. It is very true and has and does work. It is called cough CPR. A cardiologist says it's the truth ... For your info ...If everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life. Read This...It could save your life! Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an usually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course, didn't tell you what to do if it happened to yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about very two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives! From Health Cares, Rochester General Hospital via Chapter 240s newsletter 'AND THE BEAT GOES ON ..' (reprint from The Mended Hearts, Inc. publication, Heart Response)

Natal, compared to the ratings of other shows that air opposite of the soaps, people ARE watching. Granted, the ratings have done a nose dive due to the cable shows, but their ratings are equal to the soaps. Except Y&R which has always had high ratings. Just don't cancel my Y&R and I'll be happy! Last night a friend called me from California who doesn't even watch AMC, just to voice her disappointment that they're getting rid of an American icon. Soaps in general. I know this will sound silly, but I relate cancelling soaps to the majority of people who stopped sending old-fashioned and beautiful Christmas cards and are now sending pictures of their families. Just call me Scrooge. :)

Such happy news, Fran! Congratulations! You sound so happy in your post. Good to hear you're getting back into quilting... it's hard to find time when so many changes are taking place. That special man might just need a special quilt just for him! Hope to have you more involved here, again! You were definitely missed!

Recently saw an fairly long interview with Susan Lucci and her husband of many years (possibly on Sunday Morning show). The interview took place at her home and the Pine Valley studio. She really seems like a sweet, wonderful (not to mention beautiful) 60 year old woman. One that I wouldn't mind sitting down and talking to and I've never watched a single All My Children. I hope she finds something to keep her active and happy now that the show is over. Jodi-

NOOOOOOOO! All my Children gone? I want to know what all the kids on the show are going to be like when they grow up! My dd said they could call it, All My Grandchildren.

There was another post about canceled soaps, and I posted about how I used to watch a whole line-up of them but at the time I could only remember AMC. Now I remember it used to start with Ryan's Hope, AMC, OLTL. then Gen. Hosp. I finally got away from daily viewing but would tune into AMC a couple times a year. I always found it interesting that a character would have a baby, then in 3-4 years, that baby was an adult. LOL Some of the plots were ridiculous.

SamKaren, I wonder if you are thinking of the AMC character, Jessee Hubbard played by Darnell Williams. He came and went from the show over the years, but I'm not sure what his character did on the show.

Well I watch them--actually I listen while I'm doing other things most of the time and I don't like it one bit.

Thanks for posting when they would be leaving, SamKaren. I couldn't seem to find it. I like OLTL better than AMC (although that Susan Lucci is fun to watch). The story line on OLTL has been really good lately.

What a bummer!

I have watched All My Children off and on ever since it started. I hate to see it go. All we don't need is another talk show or Doctor or Judge whatever show.

Moni, Erika Slezak is still on. She plays Vicki/Nicki. I liked watching her multiple personalities. Now she has a daughter with the same problem--Jess/Tess.

I never saw her as Vicki/Nicki... stopped watching before that happened.

It's the end of an era. I remember my grandma watching her soaps while she was ironing (I was a little girl then.) Wonder if it was One Life to Live? How long have these shows been on air?

I watched both All My Children and One Life to Live, mostly on my summer vacations from school. My most memorable parts are the "old Tara" on AMC and a young Dorian on OLTL.

Matthew Cowles played the villain known at Billy Clyde Tuggle... He was what I always thought of as a truly funny villain... what a nut...he always made me laugh...

I used to watch AMC all the time from the time Susan Lucci was a teen... and only have it on in the background now and then.. but love watching the old timers and how their story lines go. Wonder if Erica will run off with Caleb?? LOL

That's a shame. Those two have been on forever, like As The World Turns.

One gets so attached to the characters -- for fans this will be hard.

LOL, Moni. Vicki/Nicki (Erika) has been on the show 40 years. Just how old are you, anyway??? haha!!

So ... what's it to be called in the meantime ...

... "No More Children" (to speak of)?

Or will that be the title of the final episode?

Never watch either of them. Many years ago I watched As the World Turns when I breast fed my son. I got addicted and then when he was two I thought how stupid it was to reserve 1/2 hour a day to stop what I was doing , so I stopped cold turkey. About 25 years later I happened on the show and the characters were still there...

I remember watching Ryan's Hope because one of the characters on the show was also on Dark Shadows.

I (blushing here) also was hooked on "Mary Hartman- Mary Hartman."
