One Life To Live Spoilers – AMC Fans Are Excited
Fans of soap operas are thrilled about the news surrounding Lifetime’s potential revival of All My Children; but what about other canceled favorites like One Life To Live and Another World? Keep reading to discover the possibilities of these shows returning to our screens.
The idea of characters coming back from the dead is a hallmark of soap operas, making the current discussions about All My Children’s revival feel especially appropriate.
The show, along with One Life To Live, was axed in 2011 to make way for an afternoon talk show and a cooking series, neither of which enjoyed much success.

Iconic actress Susan Lucci, known for her role as Erica Kane for 40 years, almost appeared on General Hospital, but that didn’t come to fruition. On a brighter note, fans recently saw Walt Willey reprise his role as Jackson Montgomery, adding a touch of nostalgia to the soap landscape.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, both former stars of All My Children, hinted at a reboot back in 2020, but the project never materialized.

Now, Lifetime is making moves to revive the soap with a series of TV movies, including one set during the Christmas season; it’s uncertain whether Susan Lucci will reprise her role.

to fill that (daily) time slot because the big-wigs
