Breaking Soap Opera News of the Day: ABC today dealt a harsh blow to soap opera lovers still reeling from the loss of Guiding Light and As The World Turns, announcing the cancellation of two additional long-running genre icons — One Life to Live and All My Children.

“Each of the shows has touched millions and millions of viewers and informed the social consciousness,” said ABC’s President of Daytime Programming Brian Frons in a prepared statement. “It has been a privilege to work with the extraordinary teams who brought the residents of Pine Valley and Llanview to life each day, and we thank the cast, crew, producers and most especially the fans for their commitment to the shows through their history.”

One Life to Live debuted on ABC in 1968; All My Children in 1970. Both are slated to be replaced by talk shows with the hopes of capitalizing on the success of The View.

Wait but aren’t those four almost all the Soap Operas that ever lived?  What else is there now to carry the torch, solely General Hospital…?
